Radical French RaiIwaymen
Win Vote, But Moderates
Hold Purse Strings.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS. June 4.-The split in the
railwaymen's union. following the vic
tory of the communists in the conven-
tion last Thursday. when a motion for
syndical direction of the organization
was adopted. has resulted in an ami
mated conflict over possession of the
unions funds and headquarters. AL
though the communists outvoted the
moderates in the convention, the latter
still hold the regular organization.
The communists have succeeded in
gaining possession of the unions build
ing, but Secretary Bidegaray has sue
ceeded in putting, the unions treasury
out of reach Of the extremists.
Disruption not only of the railway
mems union, but of the General Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, is predicted in labor
lists success. The federation still is
intact. but the same division as has
become effective in the socialist party
and the railwaymens union exists in
a latent state in the organization. one
of the strongest elements of which.
Seine. is in the hands of extremists.
One result of the growth of COM
munist influence is the decreased
membership Of the labor unions. The
railwaymen, who mustered 10000
votes at the convention preceding last
years strike. registered only 100000
at the convention which ended Thurs
day in the communist victory. Leon
Jouhaux's resignation as secretary of
the General Federation of Labor, which
frequently has been announced, now
is said to be imminent. Such action is
regarded in labor circles as likely to
markthe final capitulation of the mod
crates and wide split in all the
labor organizations of France.

NO SEPARATE PARTY.
League of Women Voters Is Not a
Political Unit.

To the Editor of The Star:
On the first page of The Evening
Star of Friday in connection with the
report of the hearing on the reclassi-
fication bill there appears a state
ment with regard to the policy of the
National League of Women Voters
which is absolutely contrary to the
fact. This statement says: This or
ganization is said to have a unit in
every county of every state of the
Union, and is advising the women of
the country to vote for their inter-
est without making party affiliations"
Far from advising that women keep
out of political parties, the League of
Women Voters at the convention at
which it was organized last year
adopted as it's slogan Enroll in the
Political Parties" Under its constitu-
ton it is forbidden as an organization
to ally itself with any political party,
but it's members as individuals have
always been urged to take part in the
activities of political parties. The
league is wholly opposed to separate
political party of women.
The paragraph which follows the
statement I have quoted from the
Stars article is also somewhat mis-
leading in the Interpretation which it
puts on an informal discussion be-
tween Senator Sterling. Congressman
Addison Smith and me. These gentle
man have been stanch friends of wom-
ems interests and were putting for
ward a series of questions largely
suggested by the speech of a witness
at a previous session. Neither one of
them was of necessity steting hisown
views. and our remarks were largely
in the nature of a mi-humorous dis
cussion of the possible dangers which
other persons had tried to emphasize.
There is the friendliest feeling be-
tween these gentlemen and the
League of Women Voters.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. June 4
"A movement looking to the

Troy, Ala, just after the civil
war to John wilkes Booth
slayer of Abraham Lincoln, has
been launched BY Mrs. Cal D.
Brooks, president OF the
WQman's League Of Republic

Mrs. Brooks declares that pr9r
tests against the statue have
come to the league from many
sections of the country, ana
she believes the time mas
come when such acts as placing
the shaft "will be frowned upon
by all good citizens Of the
south regardless of party af-
hliation."
An injury has been done the
south as a whole, she says. ana
a wrong Impression created

that there may be zone har-
mOniOua union Of interest,

Brooks has called upon all po-
litical faiths of the south to
Join the League in plans to re-
move the Booth shaft.
The statue was erected by
funds gathered by semi-public
subscription mt a time when
pnrtisnnship was keen and
when Booth was looked upon
by some as a benefactor and
hero.
The league claims that this
was not the sentiment of the
south at that time, and that
the surviving few who had q

shaft W i'll not object to its
