Political and business pressure 10
being brought to bear upon Senators

Among the real estate boards
which have protested against the

Party Would Overthrow Re-

Voicing their opposition to the

to the Constitution. the national con-
ference Of trade union women,
which met in the Grace Dodge Hotel
yesterday, voted to call on the Ma
tional woman's Party to discon'

At the same time the conference,
which was called by the National
women's Trade Union League. Of
fered to cooperate in any effort 10
correct particular wrongs where
necessary legislative means for such
a purpose can be found.
The conference adopted this
declaration explaining it's attitude:
Many Of the best legal authort
ties in the United States tell us that
the language OF the blanket legisla
ton proposed by the National Wom
ans Party. both Federal and State
might be construed as invalidating
labor laws which apply to women
and not to men, such as laws re8u
lating hours Of employment, provid'
ing seats in stores, factories, ele,
vators, ETC.; establishing minimum
wage commissions, prohibiting
night work, and prohibiting the en-
ployment Of women Immediately be-
fore and after confinement.
1T has taken years to establish
by Supreme Court decisions the con
stitutionality Of present labor laws
for women, and court decisions In
some cases are still pending. Dur
ing the period OF litigation women
workers have been deprived Of the
benefits OF the laws. Millions Of dol
lars Of wages withheld and untold
hardship by reason Of longer hours
are only part OF the price work
ing women have had to pay for liti

Alleged Lone Wolf" Caught
in Rooming House With
Stolen Goods.

The Lone Wolf" alleged master
cracksman. and known in police
parlance as "one smooth artist"
has fallen into the clutches OF the
law.
For months the most astute man
hunters Of the nation combed the
"jungles" OF every large city In an
effort to locate the man who. the
police say. has a record for au-
dacity in pulling off "iobs" that
would shame the mythical Raffles.
The Lone Wolf" is the name by
which this amiable gentleman Is
best known by crime investigators.
He was christened Arthur strom.
Sergeant Bobo. OF the Sixth pre-
cinct. was tipped Off that the
Lone Wolf was scouting in that
bluecoat's preserves. Yesterday the
officer stormed a rooming house
at PIT John Marshall place and
placed him under arrest.

quantity Of nitroglycerine. burglar
tools. and furs said to be worth
$4,000 were found In the room.
The furs were identified as having
been stolen from the Cunningham
department store. 81 Seventh
street northwest.
Strom. the police say. has an
interesting history. In 1918. when
he was arrested In Detroit, he was
suffering from a bullet wound in
the head. He held up a farmer
according to the police. but the
farmer wasn't bit inundated
Whipping out q pistol. he shot the
highwayman.
The Lone Wolf" afraid he would
lose his mind II the bullet remained
in his head, pleaded with the prison
authorities to operate on him. They
did so and the ball was removed.
While in prison Strom was con
nected with the editorial staff OF
the Ohio Penitentiary News.
strom's first hitch" in prison
was in 1909, the police say. when
he was sent TO the reformatory al
Anamost, Iowa, for participating In
a series of robberies in Des Moines
He Is also alleged to have robbed
a safe In a theater In Detroit
where he got away with Sass.
Strom vigorously denied the theft
OF the furs today. As the articles
have been positively identified. the
