Washing ton, March Aopeciai'l According to Miss Alice Robertson, member of Congress from Oklahoma, there is only one excuse for the par ticipation of women in American poll tics.
 In an address before the Oklahoma Society of Washington, Miss Robert : son declared that women, possessed or the ballot, must make good in purifying politics. She admitted that she gave women a. task commensurate with that of Hercules when he SC. about cleans ing the Aufean stables.
 Miss Robertson has habit or speaking her mind" Sne was not and is not suffragette, and while she was the only woman elecIec to exalted po- sition. Between Miss r,opertson ana the suffragettes there is apparently little love lost. In her address ,she said:
 They charge that am not a sui fragette I am not I was not. But yet I got the bacon. They say that l should change my views regarding sui frage say they should permit their peroxide locks to reassume their nat ural color. It is simply a difference of perspective.

MILLION AND HALF
 ASKED IN LAW SUIT
Increase In Price of Iron Is Basis for Largest Civil Ac-
 ton In Tennessee

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 20.-The mill lion and a half dollar damage sult brought by the Chattanooga Steel com pany against the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company the most impor- tant case from the standpoint of amount of money involved ever filed in a chan cery court of Tennessee, will be heard before Chancellor T. L. Stewart of the Twelfth district here, beginning Tuesday.
 The case is based upon alleged dam age result to the complainant through an alleged failure of defendant to con form with the provisions of contract for the purchase of large quantity of pig iron. The omplainant will allege that the defendant company contracted to sell and deliver within a certain stp' ulated time a certain quantity of pig iron at a stipulated price. It charges that the defendant waited to deliver any of the iron purchased for future delivery and that the complainant company lost more than d million dollars by reason of the failure, from the fact that the price of iron increased to such an extent that the complainant could have made the amount sued for by reselling the iron at the price prevalent at the time for the date for delivery.
 A formidable array of legal talent from eastern and other cities will be here for the trial, which has been removed from Winchester, Tenn, on request of counsel.

 PACKERS STRIKE
Samuel Gompers and Other A. F. OF L. Officials Are Notified That Recent Vote of EmpIoyes Must Be
 Factor
By Associated Press

Washington, March 20-Decision of the organized meat employees in the meat packing industry to go on strike is nee essary to assist the Amalgamated order of Meatcutters and Butchers Workers of North America in obtaining from the packers continuation of wartime agree ment as to wages and working condi- tons was conveyed to Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, tonight by representatives of the packing unions.
 MT. Gompers, with Secretary Frank Morrison, conferred at federation head quarters with Dennis Lane, secretary or Brennan it's attorney, as to the attitude to be taken tomorrow when they meet with the packers representative and Secretary of Labor Davis to discuss the situation. MT. Brennan and MT. Lane, who were chosen by Il affiliated unions to represent them at the meeting called by MT. Davis in an effort at mediation, brought with them to Washington the moral support engendered by vote or more than 21,o0O to 2,OO0 in favor of Il strike rather than a surrender of the eight-hour day now in force in the ln- dustry.
 Prior to the meeting here it was state1 definitely that the unions delegation instructions would admit of no with drawal from the insstence of the em- ployes that the packers reinstate the ar bitration agreement adopted during the l~,,k 1t,,at tad union delegates were expected 10 put this point even ahead of their obJec- ton to the order for reduction or from 121s to 15 per cent cut in wage scales.
 Whether the American Federation or Labor will go beyond lending it's moral support to the unions involved in the dis putes has not been indicated by Presi- dent Gompers. Any further action, 1t was said, would require the vote of the executive council of the federation which could be taken by telegraph.

RESOLUTIONS RA|N;;
 ROAD PLAN DELAYED.
Madison County Mass Meeting Is Flooded With Formally
 Drawn ldeaS"--Favorable

Huntsville March Specially Sentiment among the people of Madi- son county is very largely in favor of bond issue for the purpose of rais- ing money to rebuild the road system of the county, it was determined at Q mass meeting in the courthouse Sat urday when a representative crowd of taxpayers and voters assembled at the behest of the board of revenue to dis cuss the question.
 However. there was such a multipli- city of resolutions that no action was taken committing the meeting to favor any fixed amount of bonds and that question will be thresned out at an- other meeting next Saturday. DaviG A. Grayson was made chairman of the meeting and Lee Rice was elected sec retary. There was a general discus sion of the proposed bond issue and various sums ranging from $100000 to $30O,000 were suggested in resolutions All resolutions were submitted to d committee appointed by the chair and this committee will try to reconcile the resolutions and report some that will probably be agreed on Lawrence Cooper was made chairman of this committee.
 It was shown that the roads in all parts of the county are in a deplorable condition and that it will take a great deal of money to get Madison county out of the mud. majority of people appear to favor an issue of $300,000 of county road bonds. The first hundred thousand would be placed in the hands of the state highway commission, which would add a like sum and the federal government, it is said, would apply $2000o0 thus the S300,o0O woul | make $600,000 available for road build ing here.

 When the measure was voted on in 1920 it carried overwhelmingly-far more than any treasure ever voted upon in the county Many prominent men of the county express themselves as of the same criuion as Mir.

French Statesman'S Mission, It Is Said, Is to Persuade America to Join League.
 President Is Silent
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The -HeraIC
 800 Davidson RuiIdl

Washington, March -tSpecial) l)-Ihe cable from Paris declaring in unequivocal terms that Rene viviani, former premier Of the French republic, will in addition to other things, discuss with President Harding the League of Nations, has caused intense surprise in Washington, especially in view of the fact that the chief executive of the United States has not sought to deny it.
 1t is regarded as certain beyond per adventure that France would not have dared to approach the President of the United States respecting a subject on which the people had so recently ex- pressed themselves negatively had not 1t been invited so to do. This deduction is highly interesting to members of Con gress-those who favor and oppose the league idea-in view of the more or less authentic report, previously mentioned in this correspondence, that the French emissary will be followed to Washington by others from England, Italy and pos sibly Japan. a
 If MT Harding is about to enter ne- gotiations with foreign nations respect ing the repairment of the league to such extent that the United States might fa- vorably consider membership, it Is taken for granted that the situation is so des- perate that he is willing, thus early in his administration, to invite the criti- cism of such redoubtable critics as Sem ators Borah, Johnson and Reed.
 MUST TAKE STAND
 As has already been discussed, the United States is confronted by the ne cessity of assuming some distinct definite status respecting European nations in that without handicap it might proceed with it's domestic routine affairs. The state of war between this country and Germany must be terminated, and dis position must be made of the a,0O0,O0OOV in property valuations which the United States during the war seized from Ger many, and on which Germany retains a claim.
 The. treaty of Versailles especially pro- vided that this money was to be pos sessed by the United states in partial payment of Germany's indemnity. But the treaty was rerudiated. In the mean time, Germany, on one hand, and the al lies, on the other, are scheming to se- cure credit for the entire sum. The one avenue of escape nurtured by the entire republican party as the Knox separate peace resolution. But when France and

England prepared to renew war against Germany to force the payment of the war indemnity, the republican party hastily abandoned it's best bet because or knowledge that it's enactment would produce even more intricate complica- tions E..
 WAR IS UNENDED
 And thus it happens that President Harding has no means of bringing to an end the war between the United States and Germany. If he intends en- tering into a discussion with France England and Japan of the methods py means of which this nation might become a member of the league. it is evident that he has concluded that there remains no other recourse. It is regarded in Washington as cer- tain that European nations, aware that a league without the United States, would not, could not, be effective, would be wining to make any concessions III the form of covenant amendments that the United States might suggest. But to enter the league under any conditions - would be at the expense or the JOSS ol the friendship of virile members or tne republican organization, all of whom are apparently willing that the semblance or existing friendship be terminated at any moment.
 If s regarded in Washington as more than probable that league or an as sociation of nations will be again prom nentIy before the Senate, and that the echoes of the disputation will not nave heen ouieted prior to the election four years hence.

 AWAITING VERDICT
Jurors In Gun Trial Probably Will Report Today-Many
 Lawyers Leave Town
Rx Associated Press

Williamson, w. Va, March 0.-Wil- liamson was quiet today after the ten sion created yesterday when the case Of the 16 mountalners charged with being
 implicated in the death of Albert C. Felts, a Baldwin-Felts detective, slain In the battle last May, went to the jury.
 Miners and residents of Mingo county who came to the county seat yesterday anticipating that a verdict would be Ie- turned shortly after the gun trial jury was charged had returned to their homes and there were few persons about the streets.
 States attorneys who have been con- ducting the prosecution have returned to their homes in various parts of the state, with the exception of former Judge John s. Marcum of Huntington and those who reside in Williamson. Defense counsel remained here, however, determined to wait for the decision of the 12 men on whose hands rests the fate of the hill men, not only charged with the killing of Felts, but indicted and facing prose- cution on six other counts in connection with the deaths of six of the detec- tives companions in the fight.
 The jury room has been constantly un- der guard of deputy sheriffs ever since the deliberations were begun.
