NASHVILLE, Aug. 16.-This afternoon
Tennessee was expected to accept or re-
ject the federal suffrage amendment.
The house of representatives was to
meet in its first session since Friday,
when the senate passed the ratification
resolution, 25 to 4.
AS soon as the house is called to order,
the senate resolution will come up.
If there is a quorum present, the suf-
frage men will make determined effort
to pass the senate resolution.
This will provoke real fight, as the
antis are confident they have the votes
to block the attempt
If so, they will be able to defeat rati-
ication, for It is a rule that only one
measure on the same subject can be con-
sidered at the same session. y
SUFFRAGIsTs CLAIM
SIXTY-TWO STATES PLEDGED.
Suffrage leaders claim the pledges and
obligations OF sixty-two representatives.
They expect that If a majority Of
these stand firm band-wagon votes will
increase the total to seventy-flve or over.
There is some doubt as to the pres,
enee Of quorum, but both sides are
laying plans for the fight.
AS soon as the senate resolution comes
up it is expected Speaker Walker will
try to refer it to committee
This VIII be opposed by suffragists
and will bring a roll-call so tho frst
test on the respective strength when il
is moved to adopt the senate measure,
the point of order will be made by antis
that the house has no power to ratify.
Either way the speaker rules win
cause an appeal from the chair.
He is expected to rule two-thirds
vote necessary to take the house bill;
away from committee.
This will be appealed.
a majority can override the speakers
ruling.
CONFIDENT
OF VICTORY.
Suffragists retained confidence in VIC
tory. Speaker Walker, and leader, claims,
I'VE have 'em licked"
Senator McKellar declared that Ten
nessee would never be another Delaware,
ratify In one house and reject in the
other.
I'VE have the votes pledged" said

SAYS L. & ". LOBBY
BLOCKS RATIFICATION

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Suffrage
leaders today asked Gov. Cox to investi-
gate corrupt influences" now at work
against ratification in Tennessee
Warning has been sent him that the
fight is lost unless immediate action is
taken to circumvent these influences.
According to our information repre-
sentatiyen Of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad appeared in Nashville yesterday
and, following their activities, men who
were pledged to us deserted by the
wholesale" Miss Alice Paul said today
IF the resolution committee reports
today we have not the slightest chance
What is in back Of the Louisville &
Nashville lobby 1 do not know.
1T will be one Of Americas greatest
shames if suffrage is lost to the women
because Of the power Of a single corpora
tion and the corruption Of a state legis-
lature."

CLEvELAND. O., Aug. 16-Part of the
demands made by miners of the central
competitive field for adjustment of wage
increases to remove inequalities were
granted today by the operators at

pick men a 81 per cent increase. and day
and monthly workers an increase of only
20 per cent.
The operators agreed to increase ihe'
pay Of the day and monthly workers so
that they would conform to that Of the
pick men.
The operators refused. however, to con-
slider other demands of the miners, which
included wage increases of 81 a day for
the day worker; 10 cents a ton increase
for tonnage workers; abolition of the
penalty clause fining miners 81 a day for
illegal strikes.
The miners asked that pay increases
