PIttsburg, Oct. Since women
now enjoy political equality with men.
they must assume all obligations and
give their correct ages, as do men,
when they register for an election. de-
cided Judge James Il. Drew, in Court
here Monday. when he dismissed the
appeal of Elizabeth T.. Warnock from
a ruling OF the Registration Commits
sion.
Miss Warnock appeared In the regis
tration place of the Fifteenth district
of the Twenty-sixth ward to register.
and gave her age as approximately
25 years" When she did not become
more specific, her name was stricken
from the list. and she took the ques-
ton into Court.
Judge Drew. in deciding the case.
said the law contemplated that all
persons give their correct ages In
order TO prevent corruption, which
was the primary object of the registra-
ton act. He added that while he felt
some women were sensitive as TO their
ages, they now have equal rights with
men and must give their correct ages
as do men.
Miss Warnock's counsel took an ex-
ception and indicated that the case
would be carried TO the Superior
Court.

BELIEVE R. R. WORKERS
WILL NOT co ON STRIKE
Other Officials, However, Say
Men Are Serious and Will
Obey Leaders.

Chisago, ct. 5.-while the chiefs
Of the railroad brotherhood are tabu-
lating the issue of the recent vote on
the question of striking against the
- per cent wage reduction put in
effect hy the Railroad Labor Board,
strike talk is dying out, one official
predicted positively that there would
be no strike.
1t is believed by some of the lead
ers that If a strike were ordered a
large proportion of the men would re-
fuse to obey il and the rest would be
unable to support themselves or fam
lies. These men regard the vote as a
means of strengthening the hands of
the union representatives in obtaining
concessions from the roads.
This opinion is not universal by any
means. however, as other officials OF
.he brotherhoods are convinced that
the men are serious and would quit
work il such action is thought neces-
sary by their leaders. The Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, which is
voting on. a separate ballot after its
| President. W. G. Lee, declared the
| ioint ballot did not cover the situa-
ton as other matters besides wages
were at stake. has voted overwhelm-
ingly for a strike.
The, more conservative opinion
among the brotherhoods holds thai
the only danger of n strike lies in the
refusal OF the Pennsylvania System
to recognize the Federated ShoT
| Crafts organization. Il is believed thai
continued refusal. which is taken a'
direct violation of the Labor Boards
order permitting the union 10 elec
employees representatives. Will fore,
the shopmen 10 strike and that al
the other unions might be involved.
It is reported that the advisabilit,
of withdrawing the strike threat Wa
! discussed at n meeting of the Brother
ihood chiefs. The joint ballot does no
can directly for a strike but merel,
authorized the executives to use :hei

viewpoint of the maritime damages,
for which Germany should pay. The
Germans maintained that Germany
should not be obliged to pay compen-
sation for merchant vessels sunk while

naval orders. Cargoes lost should not
be paid for they declared it OF a mill
tary or naval nature.
German ships seized in allied ports.
and completed, if used by the govern
ment seizing them and then sunk by
the Germans should not be paid for.
they contended, and no compensation
should be paid for losses due to mari
tiue risk or for ships that disappear
ed unless Germany should be proved
responsible for their disappearance.
Germany admitting certain disappear
ances Of vessels as being due to war.
The value of the cargo for which Ger
many Is liable to pay should be esti-
mated at the price paid by the last
owner. the German delegates asserted.
and ships lost should be paid for on
the basis of their value at the time
they were lost The commission ex-
pects to announce it's decision shortly.
