What the management regards as
the brightest play of the season,
wedding Bells" will be offered next
week. "Wedding Bells" is a smart
comedy written by Salisbury Field
and produced by Selwyn e. Co., at
the Harris theater, New York, two
years ago where it ran an entire sea-
son. The ro1es originally created by
Margaret Lawrence and Wallace Ed
dinger will be played in Duluth by
Leona Powers and Clay Clement and
these two Clever people will be seen
in their most artistic performances
of the season. "Wedding Rc:ls' will
be Leona Powers farewell week.
she having accepted winter en-
gagement with the Detroit Stock
company.
wedding Bells is ideal summer
entertainment. 1t is clever, amusing
and radiates the JOY of living. Every
member of the Qrpheurn Players has
a. splendid role: Carl Jackson as a
jovial Englishman, Jay Mulrey as a
bored lover and Mary Hart as the
unreasoning bride have in addition
to Miss Powers and MIR. Clement es-
pecial opportunities.
wedding Bells has the unquali-
fled endorsement of the Orpheum
Players management. It is the sea-
sons prettiest comedy and should
not be missed.
The Junior league of Duluth will
present their annual revue OH Mon
day and Tuesday Of "Wedding Bells"
and on these two days the Orpheum
Players will present wedding Bells"

membership Of the Republican, Ma
tional committee, and only by their
own efforts are they made members
Of the minor committees in their or
ganizations. This is in striking con-
trast to the attitude Of the Demo-
cratic organization toward women.
There is a Democratic National COM
mitteewoman in each state as we'll
as a Democratic National commit
teeman. This policy of fifty-fifty
extends down through the organ
ization wherever possible. The DEM
ocrats have never made any distinc-
tion between men and women as
aspirants for office. At this writing
there are four Dem ocratic women
aspirants for United States senator
and nearly a dozen for congress.
The labor world., 1922-07-22

Women who aspire to office on
the Republican ticket, or who may
hereafter aspire. may as we'll make
up their minds that their cases
are hopeless, because one of the
highest authorities in the Republic
can organization has declared in ef-
feet in the public press that women
are not competent to fill the i'm
portant offices Of senator or con-
gressmen and that even the women
themselves will not vote for women
for these important positions.
In an interview with James r.
Nourse of Universal Service. pub
lished in the Washington Times,
June "a, 1922, discussing the candi-
dacy Of Mrs. Olesen, Democratic
nominee for United States senator in
Minnesota. Senator Medill McCor-
mick, chairman of the Republican
senatorial campaign committee, said:
Persons might vote for a woman
for superintendent Of schools or for
the town council or other little jobs
like that, but when 1t comes to the
senate of the United States they
simply will not do it. I don't believe
that even the women will vote for
Mrs. Olesen for senator"
There you have it from one of the
chief official mouthpieceS of the Re-
publican party. There you have an
official Republican estimate and ap-
pralsal OF the status Of women in
politics and in public affairs. Ac-
cording to Senator Mccormick some
people might vote for women for
school officials or for the town
council or "other little jobs like
that" Che meant those) but when it
comes to an important office, such
as Senator Mccormick holds, it re-
quires great man like Senator Nc
Cormick or Senator Newberry.
From Senator McCormick's point
OF view it is all right for the women

COAL INDUSTRY TOO
CROWDED, SAYS BANK
National City Suggests FeWer
Workers in Mines.

The coal industry is on false basis,
and kept there by mistaken leadership,
supported by mistaken sentiment asserts
the monthly bulletin on economic con-
ditions issued yesterday by the Ma
tional City Bank.
The remedy for the troubles in the
coal industry are within reach of the
miners themselves. the bank says. and
it is simply that as too many workers
are seeking employment, in the indus
try some of them should leave 1t and
find employment elsewhere. 1t then
would be necessary to give regular and
approximately full employment for the
remainder in order to get out the re-
qlired supply of coal.
The consumers of coal would find that
to be sure of having ample supply. they
would have to lay in stocks and the op-
orators settle by competition who should
have the miners and the business on
condition that the mines were operated
all the year round. The natural solu-
ton would be that the most available
and easily worked coal deposits would
be worked first.
II the miners union would use Its
power to promote such reasonable ad-
iustment, the bank says, 1t would help
the mine workers situation and render
a great service to the public.

HOLDS STOCKYARDS'
] REGULATION VALID
United States Supreme Court
Decides Business Is
Interstate.

wAsHiNGroN. May 1.-The packer
hnd stoclSyard regulation act of 1921.
which was put through Congress largely
through the efforts Of the agricultural
bloc, was held constitutional to-day by
tho Supreme Court.
Declaring the stoclsyards "are not a
place Of rest, or final destination.
but q throat through which the current
flows and the transactions which oc-
cur therein are only incident to this
current from the West to the East, and
from one State to another" the court
described the livestock business con-
Quoted In the yards as interstate in
character.
Congress in the act treats the vari-
nus stockyards of the country as great
national public utilities to promote the
flow Of commerce." Chief Justice Taft
stated in delivering the opinion of the
court, "and assumed that they conduct
n business affected by a public use OF
a national character and subject to ma
tional regulations. That 1t is busi-
ness within the power of regulation by
legislative action needs no discussion
The issue raised, aside from the con-
stltutional question. was whether the
business done In the stockyards between
the receipt of the livestock and its
shipment is part of interstate COM
nerce The court answered that uues-
tIon was one disposed of in the Swift
case. saying 1.-THE judgment in that
case gives q clear and comprehensive
exposition which leaves to us In this
case little but the obvious application or
the principles there declared.
Chief Justice Taft said II was mani
fest that Congress framed the packers
and stockyards act in keeping with the
Swift decision and that what Congress
had In mind primarily was to prevent
such conspracies by supervision of the
agencies which would be likely TO be
employed in IT," There Is no question
row of the authority OF Congress TO
punish conspiracies or restraint OF trade
in the stockyards under the Sherman
antitrust law. he continued. and "cer-
tainiy It may provide regulations to
prevent their formation"
Explaining that the commission
merchants ut the stockyards sell on
commission or brokerage livestock con-
signed to them. Chief Justice Taft dis
missed as without foundation their con-
tention that they are not engaged in
Interstate commerce.
Justice Day did not participate in
me case and Justice McReynolds dis
scented.

international Great Northern.

It was learned definitely yesterday
that the International Great Northern
Railroads reorganization plan will be
ready in a week or ten days. 1t is un-
derstood that 1t will resemble that OF the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad
and provide for cutting down fixed
charges and exchange of bonds and
notes The plan will provide also for
raising $40, 100000 to s2o,000.000 in new
money. 1t is thought probable that the
amount will be nearer S20,000,000.
