Mayor Hylan and other New York
city officials will appear before the Ju-
dietary Committee OF the House to-
morrow in support OF the bill introduced
by Representative Bacharach IN. J.)
to amend the juGicial code.
This will would make it impossible
for public utility corporations to ap-

The matter is one of particular inter-

Commission recently issued an order
reducing by per cent. the telephone

Should Representative Bacharach's

CHARLEsTowN. w. Va, April "a CAS-

three men, including officers and men,

Its language was too general.
Tbs- urcuerinv argument for fhf

opinions in other cases, including the

and also cited provisions FOR confisca-

from the felony class on the basis OF
punishment inflicted.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
BALTIMORE, April 24.-With 1,5oo del
egates. who are here for the annual
convention of the National League OF
Women Voters already divided over the
question whether the organization should
throw overheard its present policy and
sink or swim on a political program the
promise Of stirring battles already
looms large.
The subject has been discussed only
by groups and in secret sessions until
to-day. when it was put UP sauarely to
some Of the delegates by Miss Mary
Garrett Hay, president Of the New York
City League OF Women Voters a
"Is there any one here who Is dis
satisfied with the league 2" she asked.
And there were several. 1T was
learned that some delegates felt the
league was wasting it's time with well
fare and social hygiene committees and
ought to get right down to the brass
tacks of politics.
1--WE thought, too" said Miss Hay,
that we might cut out some of this
welfare work and leave 1t to the Feder-
alton to do and devote ourselves to the
serious mechanics of politics. We've
got to educate women in the game and
send more of them to the House and
to the Senate and to the State Legisla-
lures.
The suggestion of political activity
so enchanted the delegates that Miss
Hay appointed a committee to draft
resolutions to limit the work of the
league to political study and political
program This resolution will be pre-
sented to the convention tomorrow. On
the committee are Mrs. George Bass OF
Chicago. formerly chairman of the
womens committee of the Democratic
National Committee: Mrs. Halsey Will
son of New York, Mrs. Eugene Riley OF
North Carolina. Mrs. G. b. Jennison
of Michigan and Mrs. w. J. Tilson Of
Georgia.
Miss Hay said she didn't approve Of
what the present woman Representative
in Congress was doing and in the midst
of her arraignment of Representative
Alice Robertson of Oklahoma four dele
stes from Oklahoma arrived and lourly
repudiated her. They said she was fifty
years behind the times.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace was
one of the speakers at a meeting to-
night. He told the delegates that It
was up to the women to reduce the high
cost of living by informing themselves
on better and more economical ways OF
preparing food.
Senator Capper OF Kansas and Hustln
Thompson of the Federal Trade Com
mission also spoke.
Lady Astor will address the conven-
tion Wednesday night and will go to
New York Tomorrow TO speak at the
Associated Press luncheon at the Wal
dorf. She will leave in Newcomb Carl
tens private car and will return early
in the afternoon.

TARIFF CLASH LED
BY UTAH SENATORS
King Denounces Bill as Drawn
to Increase Price Of Every
thing People Buy.

WASHINGTON, April 24.--There was an
old fashioned tariff debate to-day in the
Senate, opened by Senator Smoot
(Rep., Utah) with a detailed explana-
tion OF the elastic tariff proposals written
into the bill at the suggestion oe Presi-
dent Harding.
Characterizing the measure as 'more
iniquitous'' than the Payne-Aldrich and
Dingley measures. Senator King (Utah.
Dem.). charged that it was oill ITO
increase the price Of everything the
people buy and was framed in the in
terest of the dye trust. the stee. trust,
the chemical trust, the wooler mill
trusts. some of the cotton manufacturing
trusts and the multitude of great organ
izations that in the past have preyed
upon the people and that In the futur
will continue their policy Of cxploita-
tion."
Senator King added that the address
of Chairman McCumber Of the Senate
Finance Committee in calling UP the
measure last week was IAN appeal to
the predatory interests OF the United
States to be merciful to the poor con-
sumner" and said that when the nation
was at war and the very fate OF clviliza-
tion seemed to be at stake "soma of the
same vultures that dictated SCHEDULES
In this bill were robbing the American
people and the American Government
Chairman McCumber. denying that his
address was an appeal" said he
thought the time opportune to call at
tention Of manufacturers. retailers and
factory laborers to the fact that the
American public could consume only as
much as It could purchase and that II
production Is to be increased prices
would have to be brought down to within
the reach of the consumers pocketbook.

King resumed. land I suppose the man

strong man squeezes clay in his hands.
or sought to do So
Referring to American valuation. Sen
ator King warned that the Senate would
be in session many weeks il not many
months before an American valuation
plan is written into this bill"
Germany and the threat OF German
invasion had been the specter held un
in the committee room when the bill
was drawn he continued. adding that
there never was "a more hypocr.tical
demand for legislation" than that for
protection against nation that was
bankrupt unable to meet its reparations
and saddled with taxes such as no other
nation had ever known.
