Conductorettes Decrease
On Baltimore Car Lines

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 25.-The
conductorette is a rapidly vanishing
quantity in Baltimore. and, like the BIZ
son of the Western plains, will exist
only in the fables told to their grand
children by old men who lived here
during the world war. In 1918 there
were 157 women and girls working on
the lines of street railway. In 1920
the number was greatly decreased and
today but 16 of these CONTEMPORARIES
are to be found on the widely scatter
ed lines of the city.
Romance was directly responsible
for some of them deserving the cars.
Love affairs sprang up between con-
ductorettes and motormen, with mar
riage as the result.

new YORK ALDERMAN
USES OWN CHAIR
CBy Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The seats OF
the city fathers will be dwarfed by
comparison to Lilliputian size when
Frank J. Dotzler, Republican alder
man-elect from the Sixth District, ar
rives with his specially constructed
furniture next Jan. 1.
Dotzler lists his weight in round
numbers at 400 pounds, and finds it
necessary to take with him his own
private chair, which has a seating
capacity of one square yard. The city
had the chair built for him several
years ago when, upon his election to
the board of aldermen, it was discov-
cred that he could not squeeze into
the regular seats. Dotzler bought it
for 81 when he retired, because the
city was short of storage space.

The Message Of the Russian Unions to
French Workers.

sia and those of Western Europe, but we were GER
toain that the proletarians of the socaed civilized
countries had sufficient power and maturity to
decide in spite of their governments, the question
whether they should or should not receive their
brothers of combat and of servtude.
When constitutional England refused to wise
our passports and when the British consul at Chris
tiania declared that were we merchants or repre-
sentatives of financial establishments, he would
give us his authorization, itoccured to us at once
that there still exists yet in Europe the heir of the
principles Of the French Revolution, the land of
Democracy, the greaet champion of Right, which
has, as everybody knows, saved humanity from
militarism and has established upon the ruins Of
German miitarism a just, honest and durable
peace, based upon Right. The land that has had
such great ancestors and four revolutions the land
where all statesmen talk day and night of liberty,
democracy civilization; the land where even the
manufacturers, the financiers and brokers cannot
speak without tears in their voice of Danton and
Robespierre, such land would certainly give
authorization to the representatives of the work
ing masses of Russia.
And it was natural! Who is more overfilled
with the desire to tell the truth about Russia than
your papers Who is more interested that the Rus.
sian situation should be clarified in most just
manner than the champions of Right?

COURT REASSERTS
CONVICTION THAT
BONDS ARE VALID
Justice SummerviIIe and AsSo-
ciates Who Dissented From
Majority Opinion Detail
Further Reasons

Montgomery, February - Especial y
Justice Ormond Sommerville one of the
three justices of the Alabama supreme
court who dissented from the decision OF
the majority invalidating the s25,oOo,o 9l
bond issue amendment, Saturday, filed a
leverage typewriter dissenting opinion
in which he gives further reasons for
supporting the original dissenting opih-
ion of Justice Thomas.
Justice Sommerville could not agree
with the majority that the failure of the
legislature actually to set the date for
the special election which resulted III
the ratification of tn. amendment was
a disregard of a mandatory duty inn
posed on the lawmakers by the consti-
tuition referring to Section 2S4 of the
constitution which requires the legisla-
ture to appoint date for any special
election on constitution of amendment
Justice Sommervile in his dissenting
opinion said.
NOT MANDATORY
II cannot discover in such allusion TO
anticipated legislative action any pur-
pose to impose upon the Legislature IL d.
rect mandatory duty 90 provide for the
time of the election and to exclude the
legislature from acting in the usual way
in accordance with it's immemorial prac-
tice by general provision or by delesa-
ton of this unimportant ministerial odty
to another responsible governmental
agency.
4 cannot agree with the statement n
the majority opinion that the mere ap-
pointment OF a day for such an election
was in fact or was SO regarded by the
constitution makers as purpose of the
gravest constitutional character nor can
discover any intention on the part OF
the constitution makers to descend to a
statement of administrative detail in
such matter ard thereby to change q
mode of procedure which was familiar
to the legislature and to them and, me
necessity or utility of which is by no
means apparent
