Tennessee Sufragists
Redouble Their Efforts
Decision Of Vermont Governor
Spurs Southerners to In.
creased Ratification Action

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July IRE
fusal to-day of Governor Clement of
Vermont to call special session of
the Legislature to act on the Federal
suffrage amendment caused supporters
of the proposal to redouble their eff
forts to obtain favorable action by the
Tennessee General Assembly.
Although Governor Roberts has an
nounced he would convene the Legisla-
ture August g. he has not yet issued
formal call for the session He has
explained that he was waiting for men,
bers of the Assembly to notify him of
additional legislation they wished in
cluded in the call, which must be is
sued at least twenty days before the
date of assembling.
The House is generally considered to
be for ratification of the suffrage
amendment by a safe margin, while the
Senate is regarded as close. The state
suffrage law enacted in 1919 passed
the House by majority Of 90 and the
Senate by one vote margin.
Several members Of the Senate have
resigned since, while some who op-
posed the state rights bill now are
said to favor ratification of the Fed
eral amendment, and several others
who voted for the state bill are re-
ported to be hostile to Federal enfran-
chisement Of women.

Kenneally Sees Coalition
Here Against Socialists
Vice-Chairman OF Aldermen
Says Democrats and Republi-
cans Will Join In Election
From a STAFF Correspondent

DAKENORA, Ont, July ~ Con Board
the Tammany SpeciaD.-W. P. Ken
neatly, vice-chairman of the New York
Board of Aldermen, spokesman in that
body for Charles F. Murphy, says there
will be q coalition between Democrats
and Republicans against Socialist can
didates for Assembly this fall
"The Socialists, on account of the
expulsion from the State Assembly Of
their five members, think they are
stronger than they were, but they are
not" said Mr.. Kenneally to-day.
"There was lot of sympathy for
the expelled men, and they received a
lot of free advertising, but that won't
help them. We have been looking into
the situation in Manhattan. The fact
that the Russian soviet government has
conscrlpted labor in order to maintain
itself in power has had a depressing
effect on New York Socialists. In Man
haitian their party will be no stronger
than it was last fall We shall com
blne with Republicans in order to keep
them out of power if we find that
that course is necessary"
Mr.. Kenneally says he believes the
Democratic State Convention will put
a wet plank in the platform and in
dorse the idea of freedom for Ireland.
The Tammany party reached Winni-
peg early this forenoon, breakfasting
at the Royal Alexandra Hotel. Later
tney motored around town There was
4 parade of Orapgement just after the
Tammany men left the city.

Strikes i'm Harbor
Cause an Appeal
To Shipping g Board
Oriental Navigation Co., In
volved in New Freight
Tangle, Asks Washington
to Rule ON Situation Here

The United States Shipping Board
was requested yesterday to take hand
in settlement of the strikes which
have seriously impeded operations in
New York harbor since last March.
The strikes are those Of the Marine
Workers Affiliation, the men cmploved
on railroad harbor craft, longshoremcn
of the coastwise piers and the team
sters employed at these piers. They
involve about 10000 men.
The request, addressed to Admiral
Benson, head of the Shipping Board,
and Shipping Board Commissioner
John A. Donaldh was sent in telegram
to these two officials by Philip De
Donde, president of the Oriental Navi-
cation Company. Dr. De Ronde's action
was prompted by the refusal of the deep
sea men employed by his company to
handle freight sent in Independent
trucks. presumably those of the Citi-
zens Transp sportation Committee, from
the Savannah Line. one of the lines
affected by the coastwise strike As a
result of the action Of the Oriental men
the company was Obliged to cease oper-,
ations temporarily until the new tangle
& 4
The closing of the company's pier
was prompted by the recent decision
Of Judge Fawcett in the Burgess
Brothers case in Brooklyn, in which
the court held the company equally
responsible with the employees for dis
elimination in handling of freight.
Mr.. De Ronde's telegram to Admiral
Benson and Commissioner Donald fol-
lows:
This morning we were rendered, by
Independent truck, forty-fve cases Of
merchandise emanating from the Sa-
vannah Line for overseas shipment
from our Pier Sc, n R. A union dele
gate informed our pier superintendent
that acceptance of this cargo would re-
suit in his calling out every union man
on our pier. We naturally declined to
recognize such interference, and have,
as consequence, seen all work stopped
on our said pier.
THE steamers working at this pier
were the Shipping Board vessels In
noko, Chappaqua and Chester Valley,
hence the board is vitally interested.
We ask your ratification of our action,
which was taken on our own judgment
and without reference to recent court
proceedings compelling similar action
by other common carriers. We further
more believe that the Shipping Board
should either publicly support the
steamship companies or should of their
own accord make declaration Of
principles and undertake to settle the
ridiculous, though serious, situation in
the Port Of New York"
Admiral Benson will be in town to-
day and may take a hand in the situa-
ton.

Tammany Women Home;
Want Nixon for Mayor
We're Organization and Shall
Work for Coxs''' Says Mrs.
John Sherwin Crosby

Women Democrats came home smll-
ing yesterday in spite OF their failure
to nominate Lewis Nixon, OF Staten
Island, for President OF the United
States at the Democratic National Con-
vention. If they cannot have him for
President they would be satisfied to
have him for Mayor, according TO the
gossip on the train. No official an
nouncement to this effect was made.
All that Mrs. John Sherwin Crosby,
leader of the band of Nixon boomers,
had to say was:
"We're organization. We shall work
for Governor Cox. He will make q good
run and we are perfectly satisfied. Of
course, we should have preferred Mr..
Nixon, but Governor Cox was our sec
ond choice"
Mrs. Crosby. who was the Democratic
committeewoman from New York State,
has lost her position to Miss Elisabeth
Marbury, who was a egate-at-large.
The women came home by way of the
Canadian Rockies and proved their
patriotism by singing "The Star
Spangled Banner" as they crossed the
Canadian border Thursday night, at
Portal, n. D.
1t was a not but still vigorous crowd
that streamed into the Grand Central
Station yesterday afternoon at
o'clock. A Tammany band met them,
and Tammany cheers rang out through
the station, but there was no oratory.
Mrs. John F. Hylan and her friend,
Mrs. c. F. Moeler, of Brooklyn, who
was robbed of jewels in San Francisco,
were among the arrivals.

Mrs. Gait Suspects
Sinister Influence
Leader Denounces
Clement Refusal; VIII
Push York in the South

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, president
of the National Woman Suffrage .Asso-
citation, believes that only "sinister
and far-reaching influence" can account
for the attitude taken by Governor
Clement in refusing to call a special
session of the Vermont Legislature to
ratify the woman suffrage amendment.
Mrs. Gait declared yesterday after
noon that the association would take
steps at once to uncover that infiu-
ence."
"If 1t is correctly quoted the de-
cision of Governor Clement" she said,
"is so contrary to the dictates of JUS
tice, common sense and political ex-
pediency that it convinces me that
there is sinister and far-reaching in
fuence behind it, To uncover that in
fuence is one of the immediate tasks
of the suffragists. The work of rati-
fcation will be pushed strongly in

election that each citizen shall think
of America first Who now does NOT

to this demand? Let US, the Republican
party, again make this demand.
Senator Harding stood for a League,
