ANT|-SUFFRAG|STS
 RECEIVE SETBACK Petition for Fertilization of Case to United States Su-
 preme Court Denied
BY Associated PfeM

Washington, September 3.-Opponents of woman's suffrage today received a tenn porary setback in their efforts to ex- pedite appeal from the decision of Justice Bailey of the District of Columbia su- preme court refusing an injunction to prevent Secretary of State Colby from promulgating the suffrage amendment.
 Chief Justice Smith of the District of Columbia court of appeals denied the pe- tition of the suffrage opponents as rep resented in the American Constitutional League for certifcation of the case to the Unitel States supreme coU,t without waiting for a decision by the appellate tribunal.
 The chief justice held that he lacked authority to certify under a decision of the United States supreme court which held that such certification could be made only where the decision of the local ap- pellate tribunal was final. As there is d constitutional question involved in the suffrage case, there would be a right of apepal from a decision of the court of appeals to the United States supreme court.
 Counsel for the anti-suffragists, how ever, have not abandoned hope of getting the case into the highest court in .he land before election day. and when the court of appeals convenes October 4 will make a motion to advance the case on the call endar, and probably request that their contention be overruled in order that they may appeal at once to the United States supreme court.

ASK REOPEN|NG
 WAGE CONTRACT Miners Appeal to President to Remedy inequalities" of
 Wage Award
By Associated prss, aoo P. l

Scranton, Pa, septe~sss ,eus La cite mine workers, ok1 .clr union officers, today appsWu to President Wilson to reopen the wage contract signed yesterday for the purpose of remedying the inequalities" of the award recently approved by him.
 It is estimated that about 100000 mine workers throughout the anthra- cite regions have quit work, because 1t is declared they are not satisfied with the terms of the coal commission S award, which gave the anthracite men increases ranging from 17 to 20 7-S per cent, whereas the miners asked for a uniform advance of 27 per cent for the several classes of workers.
 A long telegram was sent to Secra- tary of Labor Wilson embodying the appeal sent to the President and urging the secretary to exercise the influence of his office to have a joint wage scale meeting held.
 So far as can be learned, the general scale committee took action today to have the workers return to work. It was said the question of getting the men back would be left to local off cers in the various mining communities. The union has issued no strike and union leaders declare the action of most of the men in staying away from the mines was done without any authoriza- ton from the organization.
 Mine officials say they do not look for any improvement in coal production until after Labor Day. The men who are idle say they are on "vaeation, they do not admit they are on strike.
