Balc0mb Speaks

c. A. Balcomb of the Wausau Bust
ness Institute addressed the Kiwan-
ians on present business conditions
and the cause for the decline in prices.
He also pointed out the fact that the
uneveness of prices as quoted today
is still a barrier to renewed prosperity.
That labor also plays an important
part in the REIMBURSEMENT of prices was
also pointed out by Mr.. Balcomb.
Some classes of labor have taken a
cut. he said, but skilled labor in many
lines still holds out for the big pay
made necessary to hasten production
during the late war On the other
hand, the speaker continued. labor has
become less efficient since the strain
of wartime production ceased.

Loss OF .PENROSH SUPPORT SEEN
As DEATH BLOW TO EQUAL
RIGHTS BILL.
SENATOR Gage Approval Before Being
Told of "ObJcctiOnabIe" Features.

Told of "ObJcctiOnabIe" Features.
harrisburg, April 21.-The' flare
hack" in the State Legislature over
the Asbury Equal Rights" bill which
Is now in the Law. and Order com
mittee, and scheduled for a public
hearing next Tuesday, Is expected to
result in it's death in the legislative
mill at the end Of the session.
TWO conditions will probably effect
this result. First, and most important,
Is the fact that II has been found to
contain objectionable features not
made plain or understood when Sem
ator Penrose gave 1t his Endorsement:
and, secondly the recommittng to a
committee and its rewriting will ie-
opardiZe its chances or enactment dur
ing the pressure under which the Leg
islature Will work from now on.
1t was made clear here that Sena-
tor Penrose's position with relation
to the bill has been misunderstood. He
Is known to have expressed regret
that the measure as ii was introduced
and passed by the House contained so
many extreme provisions.
In his Endorsement of the principles
that he supposed the Asbury bill
sought to accomplish, the Senator was
unreserved In his appreciation. But at
that time he had not read the measure
Itself and his stand has resulted in a
deluge of letters and kilograms
There exists little question here but
that the Senator has withdrawn his
approval of the present measure, but
has in no wise reversed his stand that
In civil and commercial matters the
Colored men and women were deser-
wing and should have equal rights.
1t is understood he believes the
measure can be rewritten so as to be-
come an acceptable piece of legisla-
ton, If there is time left during the
remainder of the session to accom-
plisE this. But it is doubted here now
that this can be done owing to the
fact that there remain, but three
weeks Of the present session ana the
legislative programme is a heavy one.
The bill is being severely criticised
because 1t bristles with penal provi-
sions, some even prescribing peniten-
tiary sentences.
Those who would otherwise be
friendly to the measure regard as in
cuSable the provision that would give
the informer one half of the fine i'm
declare that this provision alone would
open up business men in the State
to petty blackmail in order to avoid
the more serious situation that threat
ened prosecutions under 1t would In
VolVe
The most Objectionable clause. how
ever is that which made 1t mandatory
upon private schools to accept chill
dren Of any race. This is held to be
unconstitutional in that 1t disregerds
property rights.
Senator Penrose has made it plain
that he favors equal rights for the
Colored people insofar as public util-
tiles and accommodations are concern
ed and has expressed the opinion that
the thinking class do not want so
cial class do not want social equality
in the sense most generally under
stood.
