Joint ballot while the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen sent out a
separate ballot.
The trainmen's ballot stated that
1t had been the intention of all or
ganizations to use a joint ballot but
that this was impossible because
the ballots adopted by the other
organizations "did not, in our
opinion, contain an impartial and
unbiased recital Of all involved, nor
did it convey the assurance that
the wishes of the men, II against
working for reduced wages, would
determine the question, and that
they would be permitted to leave
the service"
The joint ballot declared that IL
the membership vote was to reject
the wage reductions which became

GOMPERS URGES
LABOR TOFIGHT
WAGE REDUCT'nAIS
Says Spirit and 0rg'ssl ion
of American Wssf 5 isl
Unbroken by fss ness
Depression. o%
tBy The AssocIat

Atlantic City, N. e &. 2S.--
The spirit and y alton of
American workers roken by
the business depress- ~ and they
will continue to push forward,
Samuel Gompers declared in an ad-
dress today before a conference OF
labor leaders. This was the first
of series Of similar conferences
to be held throughout the United
States with view of bringing
about complete unity and solidarity
among wage earners."
Mr.. Gompers, describing the eff
feet of depression on labor, said
that while the organized labor
movement was partially checked,
it was never driven back to the con-
dition existing before the depres-
sion.
"This is the first time" he said
"where the men of labor have Deen
able to such a tremendously large
and important degree, to maintain
the integrity and membership OF the
labor movement and yet, never IN
the history of labor has there been
such a concerted drive by the am
ployers, business and finance
against men and women of LABOR
as within the past year.
Calling upon the workers to re-
sist wage reductions, he said:
"Wherever a reduction has been
accepted by employees. it has been
followed by another and then an
other. We have called upon men
of labor of America to resist wage
reductions.
1--WE cannot in the present state
of organization, or even at the h1gn
peak or organization, successfully
resist every offer of reduction OF
wages, but it is better to resist and
lose or compromise than not to re-
sist at all, because If you do not
resist you encourage the employer
to the idea that you cannot ana
will not resist"
The executive council today for
warded a cable message to Premier
Lloyd George urging him to con-
ltinue the truce with the Irish re-
public until after the disarmament
conference, no matter what the
outcome of the peace negotiations
with the Irish republican leaders.
The message said that should Great
Britain resume hostilities with the
Irish people at this time it would
again be a menace to world peace.

WOMEN GRATIFIED AT RESULTS
FROM FIRST Year OF NATIONAL
SUFFRAGE; Benefit TO NATION
Mrs. Gait Expresses Belief That Women Have
Begun to Find Place in Management of At
fairs of Two Dominant Political Parties;
Have Made New Political Consciousness.
fBY THE ASSOCIATED PREss.y )

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait of the
National League of Women Voters
and the National American Wom-
an Suffrage association, said that
women have begun to find their
place in the management Of the af-
fairs of the two dominant political
parties Of the country.
"While our progress in that di-
rection has not been complete"
she said, I'VE believe that we have
accomplished much in that direc-
tion. Many women have been
somewhat discouraged by the
treatment they have received from
the professional men politicians in
their localities. While women have
not been granted political equality
and opportunity to take their
proper place in the political life
of their communities in about half
the states, they have been received
with sympathy and understanding
and accorded full equality in the
political organizations in the rest.
The women who are more expert
enced in political matters, especial
ly those who were engaged in sur
frage work before political enfran-
chisement, find nothing discourage
ing in the situation"
NHelens Varick Roswell, vice
president OF the republican county
committee of New York, said that
the rapidity and ease with which
women have become absorbed In
the political side of life since the
passage Of the nineteenth amend

among the men and satisfaction

place in the political councils and
organizations of the parties. An
awakened political consciousness
among both men and women and

(By The Assoclatcd Press)

Toxic, Aug. 27 (by the Associat-
ed Press. Mot since the Russo
japanese war has anything Gre
ated such a ferment in Japan as
President Harding's proposal to
call a. conference of the interested
powers to discuss Far Eastern
problems in connection with the
general question of armament linz
itation.
Japan had been looking forward
to a general discussion of political
problems with the United States
and possibly, also, with Great Bri-
tain but, coming Immediately after
the failure of British statesmen TO
agreeton a the renewal of the Anglo
Japanese alliance. the proposal to
deliberate on Far Eastern policies
and problems by all powers having
an interest in the Far East caused
CONSERVATION.
The prevailing opinion was plain
ly fear of such a world congress.
1t was. according to the general
view, calculated to decide great is
sues vitally concerning the future
of Japan and these issues dealt
with Asia, which Japan regards as
being "her own preserves" There
was apprehension in some quarters
of resulting isolation.
There was dismay at the appar-
ent difficulties found in extending
the military pact with England
which has ever been considered
the pivot of Nippon's foreign di-
plomacy and which gave to Japan
international weight, because 1t
meant a working alliance with a
great western empire. 1t was. In
the prevailing view, the ever pres
ent evidence that Japan was now
of the great powers OF the
world and was the effective bridge
between the leading power Of the
Orient and mighty white power
of Europe.
Many men Of Nippon therefore
foresaw a danger of an Anglo
Saxon combination acting to stran-
gle Japan's political development
in Asia--a lettering of future jap
anese activity on the oriental stqe
OF the Pacific ocean. Japan there
4 fore gladly accepted the armament
discussion because the malnte-
nance and increase of her navy
and army are crushing burden
which financially she knows she
cannot stand But she asked the
United States to define what polit-
ical questions were to be submit
ted to the Far Eastern conference
Meantime, she made tentative
plans to draw up a list of matters
she deemed vital for deliberatior
in connection with her own inter
ests and in connection with the
general aim of the conference.
Japanese of prominence. how
ever, rejecting the fears of many
bureaucrats, foresaw in the politi'
cal conference a not-to-b -be-lost op'
portunity of pushing forward thf
cause of Japan as world power
