CLEVELAND, Ohio. June with

only two days away. Cleveland today
is facing street-car tie-up. The
1900 motormen and conductors of the

almost unanimously last night to
strike at midnight Tuesday, the day

Few of the delegates to the con-
vention will be affected, as most of
hotels, with taxicabs retained for
their use. Thousands of other visitors
will be inconvenienced, however, not
withstanding hundreds of busses and
other vehicles available for them, by
tremendous congestion and lack of
parking space.
Mayor Clayton C. Townes continued
efforts to bring about a settlement
through mediation today. His sug-
gestion yesterday that City Manager
William r. Hopkins be named con-
ciliator was accepted by the union.
but rejected by the company There
is also a possibility that interna-
tionl officers may intervene.
The trouble has been brewing since
last week, when. charging that James
w. Holcomb was Endorsed by union
labor for collector of customs here,
the company demanded that he with
draw as fifth member of the arbitra-
tion board. Upon his refusal, the
company withdrew it's representa-
tives, the award being made by the
two union arbiters and Mr.. Holcomb.
1t gives the men 81 to 72 cents an
hour, depending on length of service.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, June l.
Florida's twelve delegates to the ma
tiona Democratic convention defl-
nitely have been placed in the NC
Adoo column over Senator Oscar w.
Underwood of Alabama by a two-to-
one vote. Returns tabulated in the
presidential preference race gave Nc
Adoo more than $4,000 votes to slight
ly more than $4,000 for Underwood.
The election of William Jennings
Bryan as delegate at large generally
was conceded. There were sixteen
candidates for delegates at large with
four to be elected. The names OF the
other delegates probably will not be
known until the official tabulation is
made.
Mr.. Bryan early in the .McAdoo-Un-
derwood campaign aligned himself
with supporters of McAdoo and spoke
in his behalf during his own cam
paign. The Florida delegation is re-
quired to support the states choice
in the preferential primary.
Interest in the state centered in the
gubernatorial race. with John w.
Martin, three times mayor of Jack
sonville, leading his nearest oppo-
nent, Sidney j. Cats, former gov
ernor. by approximately $4,000 votes.

Both chambers accepted the con-

Another important eleventh hour
bill pushed through the Senate yes
terday called for the appropriation OF
$2,70o,oo0 to be used by the Secretary
of Agriculture for carrying out a
permanent national reforestatior
policy. 1t authorizes the Secretary
of Agriculture to cooperate with
state authorities in developing the
best methods of forest fire prevention
and putting them into practice. Es-
tablishment of national forest re-
serves within the boundaries of pres
ent government-owned lands is also
authorized. A plain pen" IS given
to President Coolidge today Charles
Lathrop Pack, president of til Ameri-
can Forestry Association, to be used in
signing the bill.
The Dial amendment to the omni-
bus bill increasing the pensions OF
Spanish-American war veterans was
eliminated in conference yesterday on
the statement of some Of the con-
ferees that President Coolidge had
expressed his unalterable opposition
to the provision. The bill is the first
of two general measures combining
scores of individual bills dealing with
allowance of new gratuities and in
creases to pensioners already on the
lists.

there is to be a woman member of
the Republican national committee
for every man on that committee, as
proposed by the women, why should
there not be woman member of
Congress for every district along with
the male member? Why should there
not be woman President in addi-
ton to the man President?
This is the problem which T. Cole
man du Pont, Republican national
committeeman from Delaware and
former senator, intends to put up to
the committee on rules of the national
convention when that body begins to
wrestle with the proposal advanced by
the women. Senator du Pont is opposed
to adding a woman to the national
committee for every man member. He
intends to fight 1t to the limit and
he will have support from other mem
be-s of the national committee,

national committee, favorS the woman
in this matter.

Let state be represented by either
a man or woman, as 1T sees fit, on the
national committee, said Senator du
Pont today, or else be consistent and
provide for a madam President of
the United States to occupy the
White House along with the Presi-
dent. Followed to it's ultimate con-
cIusion this suggestion of the ma
tional committeeman from Delaware
is filled with dynamite. What, for
example, would the wife of the Pres
ident have to say If she had to share
her husband, in an executive way,
with the madam President?
The women are preparing for a real
struggle over this matter OF equal
representation on the national COM
mfttee- They point out that the
Democratic party has already ac-
corded women this privilege.

perhaps even yet too near to this

Impressed on US only as we study and
contrast the rapid advancement of
the colored people in America with
the slow and painful upward move

out the long human story.
AN occasion such as this which has
brought us here cannot but direct
our consideration to these things. 1t

has been recruited to the standard of
civilization and enlightenment For
that is really what has been going
on, and the episodes of negro slavery
in America, of civil war and emanci-
patton and, following that, the rapid
advancement of the American colored
people, both materially and spirit

a long evolution by which all man

it's mission here, approaching nearer

I'm such a view of the history of
the negro race in America we may find
the evidences that . the black mans
probation on this continent was a
necessary part in a great plan by which
the race was to be saved to the world
for a service which we are now able
to vision, and. even if yet somewhat
dimly, to appreciate. The destiny of
the great African continent, to be
added at length-and in a future not
now far beyond uS-to the relms of
the highest civilization, has become ap-
parent within very few decades. But

If some of it's members have suffered

Among the older members of the
national committee there is feel
ing that 1T would be unwise to allow
the women voting full representation.
1t might, they fear, upset the control
of the committee by the men. Joe
support Senator du Pont in this mat
ter. Said Senator du Pont today:
81 have, as every one knows, been
an advocate and am still an advocate
of equal rights for women, but I
have never been nor am 1 now in
favor of special privileges for wom-
en-, which, it seems to me, they are
asking for in wanting to go on the
national committee.
Would Let Merit Count.
81 am entirely willing that the
whole national committee shall be
made up of women if these women
are better qualified and better able
to run the affairs of the party than
the men are. That some women are
today better fitted than some men to
be on the national committe l think
is probably true, and IL state has a
woman who is better qualified to fill
the position than a man in that state,
I would strongly urge her selection
as member of the national commit
tee.
"If a man and a woman are put on
the committee you have q dual au-
thority, and with dual authority. dual
responsibility. Dual responsibility
means frequently no responsibility
It is not good business it is not
"If it is wise that a man and a
woman be on the national committee
a woman by reason of special privi-
lege, then it should follow that every
district in Congress should be rep
resented by a man and a woman and
every state should have two man
and two woman senators, and there
should be a man and a woman Vice
President and a man and a woman
