Woman Suffrage Gains
In Latin America

The Pan-American Union reported
today considerable progress in ex-
tension of woman suffrage in Latin
America during the past 10 years.
Women are now allowed to vote in
eight countries, whereas a decade
ago they were banned from the polls
in every nation in Latin America
A report prepared by the Inter-
American Commission of Women
shows that in Cuba, Mexico, Ecua-
dor, Brazil and Uruguay are voting
on equal terms with men in ma
tional, provincial and municipal
elections. In Peru, Chile and two
provinces in Argentina, ttey are
voting in municipal and provincial
elections.
Created in 1928, the commission
is intrusted with preparation Of
juridical information on the po-
itical and civil rights of women and
presents reports on this subject to
the periodic International Confer
ence of American States.
The commissions report, which
will be presented to the Eighth Pam
American Conference at Lima,
Peru, next month, states that strong
movements in favor of woman
suffrage are in progress in a number
of countries that have not yet
adopted it.
Ecuador in 1929 was the first
Latin American republic to grant
women equal national suffrage.

Illegally Of Sit-Down
Cannot Be Doubted =
High Court Is Told
FonsteeI Attorneys Ask
TribunuI to Refuse to
Review Lower Decision
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
The illegality Of the sit-down
strike cannot be doubted" the Su-
preme Court was told yesterday by
attorneys for the Fansteel Metallur-
gical Corp. Of North Chicago.
Fansteel property was the scene
of q nine-day sit-down strike In 1887
by members of the Analgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers of America.
Counsel for the company asked
the high tribunal to refuse to re-
view a decision by the Circuit Court
at Chicago, which held that the
company had the right to discharge
employees who seized two key build
ings.
The National Labor Relations
Board appealed to the Supreme
Court recently from the Circuit
Courts decision.
Saying that approximately 100
men had seized the buildings WITH,
out notice or warning" Fansteel
contended:
Neither the seizure nor the de-
struction of property can be de-
Tended as legitimate union activity.
The judicial condemnation Of the
sit-down strike has been universal;
its illegality cannot be doubted.
Certainly it constitutes more than
ample cause for the discharge of the
participants"
The brief said there was no need
to review the controversy because
the Supreme Court already had
ruled that the National Labor Re-
lations Act permitted discharge Of
workmen for any reason other than
union activity or agitation for COL
lective bargaining with employees"
Fansteel argued that Congress, in
passing the Labor Act, did not in
tend that "ceasing work in connec-
ton with labor dispute shall con-
fer license for plant seizure, vio-
lence or other acts ordinarily con-
stituting legitimate grounds for dis
charge"
The brief continued:
'"The position Of an employe ceas-
ing work in connection with q labor
dispute or as consequence of an
unfair labor practice is no different
no better and no worse-than that
of his brother who remains at work.
Both remain subject to dis
charge for proper cause"

For the purpose of stimulating
interest in decorating local yards
for the holidays, members of the
Lions Club at their regular week
ly luncheon Tuesday voted to Of
fer three cash prizes for the pref
tiest decorations.
A committee of business men
will be chosen to act as judges and
the cash awards will be presented
at the close of the holiday season.
It is the intention of the Lions
to try to have outdoor decorations
as plentiful here as they are in
other cities the size of Nogaleg.
It was brought out at the meet
ing that to qualify in this contest
it is not necessary that a home
have a native tree growing in the
yard. Trees brought in from ever
green forests can be mounted and
decorated, strung with electric
wiring, and made as beautiful as
native trees.
An effort will be made to in
duce local stores to acquire their
stock of Christmas trees earlier
than former years-at least two or
three weeks before Christmas, and
an effort will also be made to have
the city illuminate tree in the
city park several weeks in advance
of Christmas.
Among local persons who have
already signified their intentions Of
decorating outdoor trees for the
holidays are Attorney Thomas L.

-Arizona's Elect, R. T.
(Rob) Jones, already has "ideas"
on how the state government should
be run during his term of office
and they all concern increasi ing de-
velopment.
Jones, whose term of office be-
gins January l, 1899, said he would
tackle the tax structure of the
state with a view to gradually re-
vising it and equalizing the tax
burden.
Although Jones said he had no
actual program for taxation to
submit to the 18th legislature, he
indicated he would aim at a def
mite settlement Of the question
during his tenure of office.
Fer the general pro- perity'' of
Arizona, the new governor said he
would strive to help the major in
dustries-mining, agriculture, live
stock and tourists-by seeking con-
structive legif flation without too
many destructive restrictions.
Among Jones chief plans is one
to conduct harmonious relations
with the state legislature. He said
he intended to rely upon the ad-
vice and help of the house and
senate membership.
