Albany, March 1. 1921.
Women want to serve on juries in
New York even If they do not have the
protection OF ankle curtains. Being
locked up overnight and doing jury duty
for four months ut a stretch have no
terrors for them. That's what they told
the Assembly judiciary Committee this
afternoon when they made u plea for
favorable action on the woman juror
bill
Miss Mary Wood of New York city
said the women of New York were
ready to accept the obligations of jury
duty. She said that while there might
be some grounds for exemptions. women
would not mind sitting at murder trials.
Neither do New York State women
want the green curtain strung around
their anskles as a Springfield (Ohio)
jury required. They ask only one thing.
and that is to be permitted to serve"
added Miss Wood.
Others who spoke for the bill were
Sheriff David ii. Knott. former Assist
ant District Attorney Alexander Rorke
and Mrs. Pauline Field, president of the
Criminal Bar Association, who headed
a delegation of women to Albany.
1T is now impossible to get intelli-
gent men to fill the panels in New York."

are said TO employ a large force Of in
spectors, whose business IL is to see that
the amount of cement delivered is what
the builder actually needs and no more.
Curtailment OF production is one OF
the principal features OF the indictments,
and in connection with this the defend
ants are alleged TO have combined and
couspircd Ito close down for fixed
periods OF time their respective mills,
and TO advise their competitors of the
time and extent OF such periods and to
procure similar curtailment of produce
ton by such competition.
ITO prevent the organization OF new
cement concerns and the construction OF
new mills for the production and manu-
facture of cement by such concerns.
ITO circulate false rumors as to the
character of the persons that might form
such new concerns and construct such
new mills.
ITO discourage stockholders and pro-
spective stockholders of such new con-
Germs as might become Incorporated for
the purpose of acquiring or constructing
such new mjlls by making false repre-
sentations to them concerning the
cement business"
To Keep Out Competitors.
Other allegations charge the alleged
trust with conspiracy to engage in cut
throat competition and make special
competitive prices for cement in terri
tory supplied by such new mills, thereby
rendering continued operation OF such
new mills Improbable and driving them
out Of business, with the purpose and
intent OF eliminating the competition or
such new mills.
