Raleigh, N. c., Aug. 17.-NationaI
enfranchisement Of women ap-
parently was defeated in North
Carolina today so far as the coming
election is concerned. Opponents OF {
Iequal suffrage, long victorious here;
were successful in one Of the most
bitterly fought conests ever staged
in the state senate.
Their success was measured by
the narrow margin Of TWO votes, theSs
count being 25 to %, but it was sufs,
ficient to lay on the table a resolu-
tion to ratify the Susan B. Anthony
suffrage amendment. It postpdhed
action until the next regular session
in 1921.
Suffrage leaders, however, may
make another try tomorrow. They
may attempt to recall the ,resolu-
tion but even the leaders were NOT }
confident >this could be done.
To make their victory complete
the antis planned tonight to bring
up suffrage in the lower house un-l
der special order of business To-
morrow. Representative Neal, anti
suffrage floor, leader in the house
said they expect to ''call it up and
kill it right" - .,.... :, -

nized by Lieutenant Governor

Iron and Steel Review

Cleveland. O., August 5.-The Iron Trade Review says:
 Higher freight rates are welcomed by the iron and steel industry because in
 them lies hope for the ultimate solution or traffic problems. Probably more thought is being given to obtaining re- lief from present restrictions than to the fact that about s125065, 600 will be added annually to the cost of steel by the new tariffs. While hope is expressed among number of steel n'S kers that higher prices of iron and steel can be avoided It IS certain that in the main increased rates will necessitate advance in the ulfb- tations.
 | The tonnage of piled raw, semi-ffnished and finished material is increasing, indi- eating that the traffic situation is more serious than a week ago. About 15,00O cars for loading steel are made avail able by the action of the interstate com merce commission in amending order No. so that the term "coal cars7 shall not include flat bottom gondola cars with sides less than thirty eight inches high The pig iron output in Ju1y was 3,oeo, ,62o tons, which exceeds tho total for June by less than 2e,000 tons.
 Additional finished steel business is fcreshadowed in the reports that the rail- roads will immediately place orders for 5000 passenger cars. 10000 freight cars and 1000 locomotives as part of a three year rehabilitation progra mme involving $6, coo, 0o0.00o. The inquiry by German in- terests for plates and shapes, reported last week. has developed into sale, the terms of which now are being negotiated. From 1e,0o0 to 20,000 tons of shipbuilding material is involved. The shipping board and the United States Steel Corporation each is reported to have sold 5000 tons of ship steel for German account AL though inquiries involving several lots of 10000 tons or more each for first half delivery have appeared in the pig iron market, producers still are reluctant to open their books for 1921 iron. The de- mand for this years iron continues strong, and is accompanied by tendency toward higher quantities for steel making and foundry grades. Two sales of 2,0U ons each of basic iron for early delivery by a valley furnace establishes the mar ket at $46. 50 valley, an increase of 50 cents. Shipments of iron ore to lower lake ports to August l amounted to 26,079, Ill tons, as against 9, 5,1S1,S4s for the corresponding period last year.

Montgomery, August 5.-(Special. )-Le- gal action was threatened by the state board of education this afternoon to force book publishing companies to supply text books to the public schools of Alabama in line with their contracts. Following reports that the school book depository at Birmingham was not receiving sup plies of books sufficient to meet the de- mand which will come next month, the board of education appointed a commit tee, composed of Governor Kilby and Dr. John We Abercrombie, state superin- tendent to take such action as may be necessary.
 Publishing companies claim they have been unable to obtain print paper and that freight congestion in many cases has prevented prompt deliveries
 James NJ. Gunnells, chief clerk of the department, was elected secretary treas urer of the district agricultural schools The board discussed the selection of a successor to Walter S. Buchanan as president of the negro normal school at Normal, but took no final action. Buch- anan has resigned to become editor of a newspaper.

HOG GROWERS CONFER WITH COMMITTEE OF GOVERNMENT AGENTS

Montgomery, August 5.-(speciaL)-A score of hog growers of Montgomery and adjoining counties held conference to day with a committee representing the American Packers Institute, the federal department of agriculture and the agricul- tural colleges of the south, and reported conditions which they are facing in an ef- fort to supply portion of the nations demand for meat.
 The committee is seeking information on which to make a report to the United States government, and is visiting prin- cipal hoggrowing and cattle-raising sec tioQs of the south. It came to Montgom- cry because this section has become a center since the establishment of the Union Stcok Yards here. Members of the committee said cattle and hog growers were responsible in some in- stances for the shortage of the meat sup ply because of the haphazard manner in which they are feeding their stock. They urged that farmers and stock raisers give more attention to the feeding, and de- clared the difference in the prices re- ceived for meat world more than pay for this additional effort.
