.SUFFRAG|STS WIN FIRST
FIGHT IN TENNESSEE

NASHVILLE, Aug. 11.-U. P.)--
Suffragists today won the first fight
on the ratification of suffrage in the
Tennessee Legislature. A resolution
introduced in the house for postpone
ment Of action until mass meetings
could be held over the state was
tabled. Suffragists declared the reso-
luton was backed by "antis" seeking
to delay action.
The vote to table the resolution was
so to 81. During debate Governor
Roberts sat in the rear of the house
and addressed notes to members, ad-
vising them on strategy and advising
them to defeat the resolution. The
flight is won." Roberts declared after
the resolution was tabled. Victory
for suffrage is certain"

MEN WHO LIVE ABOVE THE FOG

The trend of the times indicates
that out OF all this stress and turmoil
which the country has been gong thru
that man may yet carry into execution
the threat of doing the sensible thing,
by accepting tribunals and courts in
which the reasoning processes of the
human mind will supplant violence
and passion that have had their outlet
IN industrial strikes. The preliminary
statement of the Presidents industrial
Conference came at the close of the
year, and II indicates that there are

The second conference has proceed
ed In wholly different manner from
the first one. which went on the rocks
when the Garys and the Gompers dis
agreed, as naturally should have been
expected, upon the subject of collect
i've bargaining. The new conference
profited by the errors of its predecess-
or, and refused to permit itself to be-
come debating society, recognizing
the fact that industrial problems pre-
sent irreconcilable points of view, and
serve to prove that the minds of men
are in some instances as far apart as
the poles.
Lord Grey, in reviewing the days be-
fore the outbreak of h,ostilities in
Europe brushed aside all the ifs .

SERIOUS SCARCITY OF
CRUDE OIL PRODUCTION

This week the Shipping Board au-
thorities opened bids for fuel oil
at Washington. Only one bid was
received, and that came from the
Mexican Petroleum Company. 1t
was rejected because. according to
report. the price was too steep. 1t
is stated in oil trade circles that
the reason other bids were not
turned in was because production
in Mexico is far under normal and
there is an actual shortage of fuel
oil. News from San Francisco yes
terday told of a shortage of crude
oil production in that region which
may result in a deficiency of TO-
O0O.O 900 barrels this year.
The Standard Oil Company of CAL
ifornia has issued instructions to
all its agents to take no contracts
for the sale of fuel oil without re-
ferring to the home office in Frisco.
At the same time it has been de-
cided that expectations of refined
products. already materially cur
tailed. shall be kept at a minimum
and be only such as to meet the
company's contractual obligations.
