for n long time. Ships have come here

have had to leave for lack of freight
There has been no concert OF action
between shippers and shipping men,
But there is business enough tributary
70 this port to provide cargoes for as
MANY vessels as can be accommodated
Mt our piers. All that is necessary is
to bring il here. We have trusted to

Private enterprise has not been alert

J. called on the Democrats in the
Delaware Legislature to vote for the
equal suffrage amendment, the joint
committee on federal relations of the
Democratic Louisiana Legislature de-
cided to make a report recommending
the adoption of the amendment.
Louisiana, however, may be no more
ready to consent to the enfranchisement
of women than was Mississippi. In the
latter state one house ratified the
amendment. knowing that it would be
rejected by the other. The Louisiana
Democrats are playing national politics
In toying with the subject.

there is a possibility Of ratification this
