May Keep Women Out OF Assembly

he explained that his ruling about

islature. whatever else it might be. is
not satisfactory after all, some of the
suffragfsts fear.
The Attornel General alluded to the
Constitutional provision: Each house
OF the Legislature shall be Judge OF
the qualifications and election of its
members"
But, some of the suffragists note,
this same section of the Constitution
goes ON to say:
-. as prescribed by the Consti.

1t is further noted that the Consti.
tuition refers to Senators and Dele
gates as "he." so that, in view of the
Attorney Generals ruling, the Consti.
tutional prescription" of "he" might
be interpreted, 1t is feared, as exclud.
ing she. If the pronomenaI objection
is raised by the Attorney General in
one case, it may be raised in all. the
suffragists fear.

Organized labor of America has
thrown down before its enemies the
gauntlet of challenge to fight to a
finish. The United States govern
ment is apparently included among
those .'enemies" and is boldly defied
to enforce judicial injunctions in in
dustrial disputes.
Under the leadership of Samuel
Gompers the representatives of the
national and international unions af-
filiated with the American Federation
Of Labor met last week in Washing
ton and formulated their "bill of
rights" and their demands on the gov
eminent and the people. In these
there is much besides the injunction
matter, but that is perhaps the most
important. A statement prepared by
Mr.. Gompers was issued in which the
Injunction as now used is denounced
as unconstitutional and pure usur-
patton of power and authority. The
only remedy in the hands Of the
workers, continues the statement, lilies
In fiat refusal on the part of labor
to recognize or abide by the terms of
injunctions which seek to prohibit the
doing of acts which the workers have
a lawful and guaranteed right to do
or which seek to compel workers to
do those things which they have a
lawful and guaranteed right to refuse
to do.
"This is the only immediate course
through which labor can find relief,
and this course it purposes to pursue.
Labor realizes fully the consequences
Of such course, but in the defense
Of American freedom and of Amer
lean institutions 1t is compelled to
adopt this course, be the consequences
what they may"
OF course If this threat is carried
out the result will be the arrest Of
great numbers Of working men for
violations of injunctions: and, presum-
ing that the courts and government
do not yield and that union labor
brings into action all its resources.
something little short of state of
rebellion will follow. Union labor
thinks that its very existence as such
is threatened by present tendencies
and conditions. Other citizens must
see that the threat is directed against
the peace Of the nation and all that
that involves. Nor will the informed
and thinking American accept as the
truth the statement Of Gompers, that
only the Federation of Labor is saw
ing the country from Bolshevism. The
Reds have done and can do much mis-
chief In America, but there is no real
danger of their gaining control here
. or upsetting our government.
Public support and recognition is
asked by the labor leaders for these
propositions. comprising their "bill of
rights:
The right Of the working people to
organize into trade unions for the
protection of their rights and inter-
estS.
The right to, and practice of, col
lective bargaining by trade unions,
through representatives of their own
choosing.
The right to work, and to cease
work. collectively.
The right collectively to bestow or
withhold patronage.
The right to the exercise of collec-
tive activities in furtherance of the
welfare of labor.
Their legislative program is sum-
married. thus:
Enactment by congress of legisla-
tion to protect the workers in their
organized capacity against the con-
cept that there Is property right in
human labor.

ton until the May meeting of the
league.
The conference in London dealt
with the problem of the Near East
and the possibility of revising the
Sevres treaty. Turkish delegations
representing both the Constantinople
and the Angora governments were
present and the first part of the week
was wasted in their efforts to get to-
gether and present detailed state
ment of their desires. They finally
agreed on demands that Thrace Smyr-
ma and the Dardanelles be restored to
Turkey, and objections to the polit-
ical, economic and financial control
exercised by the allies. However
Rechad Pasha speaking for both
groups, assured the conferees that
both sections would accept the de-
cision of the allies. The demand that
the custody of the Dardanelles be re-
signed again to the Turks caused
much surprise and unfavorable COM
ment, even among the French dele
gates, who have been generally on the
side of Turkey in the present contro-
versy. The Greeks remain uncompro-
missing in their demand that the treaty
of Sevres stand virtually unaltered,
and It was considered possible the
great powers might permit them to
try to hold their positions in Turkey,
though without assistance from the
allies.

against the loss of her identity in the

placed its seal of approval on the gov

Cecil made his debut as whip of the
opposition party In an effective
speech in which he demanded that a
parliamentary commission make an
impartial investigation of the alleged
