DAKOTA WOMEN SEEK.
EQUALITY ON JUR|Es
URGED AMONG OTHER PROPOS-
AIS AS A PLANK In VARIOUS
PARTY PLATFORMS.

Pierre, Dec. 6.--Jury rights for
women, the right of joint guardian
ship of both parents over children
and the appointment of women on
| state boards dealing with women and
children are urged as planks in the
various party platforms in the Tues
| day proposal meetings by representa-
tive women of the state here Mon
day to attend a meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the League of Wo-
men Voters.
Equal jury duty was in the first
draft of the republican platform. This
and the joint guardianship proposal
were put before the last legislature.
but voted down.
A new thing in platform framing
was tried at this convention. Instead
of the traditional small committee
which met behind closed doors and
worked out something for the dele
meeting at the capitol attended by
25 republicans of all stripes and
shades of feeling and they were set
to frame tentative draft to submit
to the convention.
Endorsement of the Christopher
son bill for stabilizing grain prices
was decided upon today along with
Endorsement of the peace conference
and the state and national admins
tration Of the rural credits act and
of the. state efficiency survey just
started.
High railroad rates will be attack
ed in the republican platform, There
may be fight on the floor on in
dorsement of the agricultural bloc in
the United States senate and on a
proposition to work against the hy-
droelectric proposition to come be-
fore the voters at the next cleo
tion.
The first 36 hours since the arriv-
al of the advance guard of republican
proposalmen here for the state meet
ing has resulted in giving w. E. Mill
ligan, of Aberdeen, clear field for
national comitteeman. The remainder
of tentative lineup puts George
Wright, of Huron, in the running for
state chairman; Fred Shaw, of HUI
ron, for state superintendent of in
struction; G. e. Coyne, of Fort
Pierre, for secretary of state; V. E.
Sickel, of Faulkton, attorney general,
Gov. McMaster will have no opposi-
ton for the gubernatorial candidacy.
Harry Candy, democratic leader.
indicates that he will not be a can
didate for governor. He is being gen.
orally considered for congress from
the west river section. L. N. Grill, of
Elk Point, looms as a gubernatorial
probability IL Candy decides he does
not care to run.
Thus far nothing has been done
by nonpartisan leaguers, as they
have been awaiting the arrival of
their leaders.
A woman for governor is the pro-
posal Of the nonpartisan league in
their first caucus. They have agreed
on Alice Lorraine Daley, Of Madison,
for that office. The rest of their
ticket is to be fixed over night. The
leag1e has tentatively decided to
start daily paper in the state.
The democrats have lined up L. N.
Grill, Of Elk Point, for governor, and
expect to back A. s. Anderson, Union
county farmer, for congress in the
First district, and Harry Candy for
congress west of the river. w. W..
Howes is their probable selection for
state chairman.

labor board hearing into the requests

unskilled labor be reduced.
Representatives of railroads op-
Grating in the western half of the
United States were the first witnesses,
their evidence differing but little from
that presented by eastern and far
western roads in the first two days Of
the hearing.
Coupled with today's testimony,
however, came statements from rep
resentatives of several roads. which
were applying for reductions for un-
skilled labor only, saying that they
would follow the lead of some aof the
larger roads by asking for lower pay
for skilled workers SO soon as the
present cases were settled.
j.. H. Dickinson, counsel for the
Rock Island, said the exhibits pre-
sented by the Northwestern, the

HAS
NOT YET MADE
REPLY PUBLIC
Refusal To Transfer Gold
To Bank In Occupied
oZne Expected
Financial Writers Hint At
This In Rejection Of
Proposition

Berlin. April 2o.-(By the Assoel-
ated Press. while the German cab.
met has not yet indicated the nature
of its reply to the reparation COM
missions demand that the German
gold reserve be transferred to some
point in the occupied zone, President
Havenstein of the Reich bank and
the financial writer's summarily re-
ject the proposition.
They take the ground that the gold
IS not only the property OF private
bank but that its removal from Ber-
lin under the conditions named would
result in the collapse of German cur
rency At home and abroad. ii
Make Excuses
The experts assert that such a pro-
ceeding would work havoc with Ger.
man economic interests and az
promptly result in an advance of all
commodities to fabulous prices
President Havenstein declares seri-
Gus consid Grafton of the proposition
by the cabinet would be a mere waste
of time, and doubts whether any
government could be found in Ger
many which would accede to the en-
tente's demand. ,
The impossible is impossible. that
is all there is to it," said Herr Haven
stein.
Lay Blame on French.
The Nord Deutsche, Allegemeine
Zeitung, owned by Hugo SHINES. ex-
presses suspicion that the French are
the driving force behind the new de-
mand. 1t says that once the gold re-
serve is outside the confines Of the
reichs banks vaults and placed under
entente control in the occupied zone
it will no longer remain as an active
asset of the bank. as its ultimate
seizure would then become a simple
matter.
This newspaper estimates the vol
ume of German currency held abroad
at 1900, 100000 marks and that
foreign demands on Germany of all
kinds total $4,000, ,0O0, 900 marks. The
value of the present gold reserve OF
! 09O,O0O,000 marks is computed al
representing 18 per cent of Ger;
manys current issue, and its disap.
pearance from the banks assets, tbs
newspaper asserts. would not only re.
suit in the instant vitiation of the
| foreign creditors claims but alsc
have a catastrophe effect upon Ger.
man exports and imports. especially
with regard to purchases of raw prod.
