"SHOCK TROOPS" READY
TO PICKET FOR WOMEN
They Are Willing to Abandon
Plans at Convention if Candi-
dates Plead Suffrage Cause.

CHICAGO. June (by the Associat-
ed Pressl .-Polite but impressive
picketing of the republican national
day by shock troops Of the national
womans party here under the leader
ship of Alice Paul.
The picketing will start tomorrow
morning and continue Indefinitely.
Nor" than 100 women. representing
twenty-five states and every phase OF
women's activities. all carrying ban
ners bearing the names of their states
and slogans. will occupy positions out
side The Coliseum. Other women will
work among delegates from thtir
states in the various state headquar-
ters. Verbal heckling has no place
on the program.
LesislnfOrs' Attitude.
Every effort of the suffragists. Miss
Paul said. will be directed toward in
ducing national leaders to urge the
governors of Connecticut and Yer
mont to cali special sessions of the
on suffrage. The legislatures. Miss
Paul Insists. are ready to ratify the
suffrage amendment if the governors
will call the special sessions.
None of the suffragists is paying
any attention at present to the word
ing of proposed suffrage planks
in the republican platform. They hope
for strong Endorsement of their cause
as a collateral move. but they insist
that the time is past for platform
declarations to be of much assistance
to them. Direct action on anti-suf-
frage governors is the short cut to
solution of the entire suffrage prob
lem. il ia declared
Last Chance to Avert 1t.
One last chance remains to avert the
threatened picketing, the leaders an

necessary, it was announced.

STRIKE HAS WON POST
OF HONOR. SAYS G0MPERS

THE strike has won it's place to a
post of honor among the institutions
of a free civilization, and the tempo
rary inconvenience it has caused is
but a small price to pay for the per-
manent benefits it has brought.
With this statement. issued last
night. President Samuel Gompers OF
the American Federation of Labor. in
a seven-page answer to question
proposed during the recent debate by
Gov. Allen of Kansas. summarized the
position of labor on the strike ques-
ton.
Labor has no desire to cause incon-
venience to the public, of which 1t is a
part said Mr.. Gompers. The public
has no rights which are superior to
the toiler's right to live. and to his
right to defend himself against OPP
prossion."
THE strike is the only effective
weapon by which the workers may
compel consideration of just demands.
1t is weapon the use of which en-
tails serious consequence. but the
question of life. which is the question
at issue. il a serious question. 1t Is
much more serious to strikers than 1t
is to Gov. Allen or members of EN-
pioyers' associations.
when the governor talks of divine
rights he leaves the issue and resorts
to inconsequentials. Strikes are
ordered by the ma jority vote Of union
memberships. They are not ordered
by officials at Will. When officials is
sue strike orders they do so as the re-
suit of vote of the membership au-
thoroaing such an order"

element in Chicago to repudiate such

such threats to join the city hall.
During the war Gov. Lowden
