Dover, Del, May 1.-THE Delaware
house of representatives, which recon
vened today after a two weeks recess,
adjourned late in the day without taking
any action of the resolution to ratify the
woman's suffrage amendment to the fed
eral constitution, recently adopted by the
senate

frage and if was decided not to present
the resolution in the house today The
measure now cannot be brought to a
vote before Wednesday unless the house
rules are suspended which requires a
two-thirds vote Should it be presented
tomorrow it must go to committee and be
reported out after one day before it car
go to a vote.
Early in the session the lower house
decisively defeated the resolution ant
although suffrage advocates bave not en-.
tirely given up they admit that the
chances of a reversal of this action are
slim. Republican leaders who have triet
in every way TO swing enough votes t.
pass the resolution said after their con
ference today they feared suffrage wa.
dead so far as this state is concerned
Some Of them predicted the measure
would never be sent to the house from
the senate because its advocates realiz
that defeat is almost certain.
Suffrage workers, however, who ar
here in force. refuse to admit defeat. Th
gloomy outlook, they declared tonight
served only to spur them to renewed eff
forts.

EMPLOYERS STATEMENT OF
THE RAILROAD WAGE QUESTION

Chicago, May 1.-THE opening state
ment of the employers side of the rail-
road wage question was presented to-
day before the United States Railway
Labor board, which opened hearings in
Chicago, following a recent two weeks
session in Washington at which rep
resentatives of railroad employees were
heard.
E. T. Whittier, chairman of the con-
ference committee of the railroad man
ayers. read a prepared statement in
which he said that wage advances
should be granted to many railroad
workers to enable them to meet the
high cost of living. after which the
board adjourned until Tuesday.
We are not here, Mr.. Winter said,
as the opponents of the representa-
tives of the railroad employees who are
before you seeking increases in wages;
we are not here to argue that all OF the
requests should be denied; we are not
lere 10 obstruct or to delay a speedy
hearing or fair and prompt DISPOSE
tion of the requests presented, We
are here in good faith TO assist your
board to grapple understandingly with
the vast and complex problem that has
been presented to. YOU"
According TO Mr.. Whittier, the total
demands of the rail employees, includ-
ing new demands of approximately .25
per cent, would, if granted by the labor
board, not only absorb the revenues
| expected from the increased freight
| rates asked of the Interstate Commerce
| commission, but might force the car
riers to ask additional rate increases.
He pointed out on behalf of the raj
executives that each 800, 900, 900 in raj
expenses represented a 3 per cent. in.
! crease in freight rates. He said that
| for every cent an hour increase ir
| wages TO rail employees, S50,000,o 900 wae
added to railroad payrolls.
The increase in employees in 1919 over
| those of 1915, he said, was 611.300 OF
| nearly 50 per cent. The railroad pay
| roll in that time increased 81, sos, ,334,
| 025 or nearly 141.9 per cent.
I'VE appreciate fully that the in
creases received by some employees II
the last five years have not been com
| mensurate with the increases in thu
cost of living and that due considera-
ton to this fact must be given by th'
board in determining which of thest
| employees are'fully entitled to increases
to enable them better to meet the bur
dens resulting from the increased cos
| Of living"
