afternoon, when (lov. Smith will go Into

Hnmuel Clompors, president of tho
American Federation of Labor, nnd
James A. Vnhny,. chief counsel to the
Amalgamated Association of Street
nnd Ulectrlo Hallway Kmployces.
Just what the Qovornor can do in
tho matter nobody seemed to know
yesterday, nut donplto tho fact that
Mnyor Hylnn nn tho Hoard of Kstl

met that Hecolvor Llndley M. Garrison
and Federal Judgo Julius M. Mayor
havo snld over nnd over again that
they wltl not deal with tho union, tho
strikers nro pinning much hope upon
the scheduled confab.
Ono thing that tho strikers count
upon Is laying bc'foro tho Governor tho
accusation that tho company is violat
ing tho legal prohibition against per
mitting men without experience toj
opcrnto cars. This chargo has been1
mado by Patrick J. Shea, vlco-presl-'
dent of tho Amalgamated Association,
nnd other labor leaders, In addresses
to tho strikers within the lust few,
days. The company oniclals dony the
Wreck Itaqulrlea lleuln To-dny
Another matter scheduled for to-day
which has an Important bearing upon
tho strike situation Is tho commencement
of honrlngs beforo tho Public Service
Commission for the purpose of fixing re
sponsibility for tho serious collision be
tween a trolley car and a bus on Friday
and the crash near Malbono street and
Flatbush avenue on Saturday.
While the pollco were searching yes
terday for tho strikebreaking motormen
who figured in both of theso accidents,
the company Issued n statement assert
ing that the latest disaster near Mat
bone street was not due to negligence lu
the hiring of men to operate the ears.
"Tiie management deeply resieis yes
terday's accident, nnd tho consequent;
suffering and loss," the statement said
"Wo appreciate to tho fullest extent our ,
responsibility to tho travelling public.
We had taken every precaution which
experience and forethought suggestcu to
nhvlnti! the oosslblllty of nccldcnt. On
Ihe grade down which tho car which did

and further along was a 'slow' sign. i
"The car Itself naa been auiy in
spected on tho day before tho accident
and was In first class condition. We
have an adequato complement ot old ex
perienced men In the Infcpectlon depart
ment. After tho accident the car was
Inspected, and except for tho damage
caused by tho acctdent was round In
good condition.
"Tho motorman Is reported to havo
had previous experience of sovcral years
In other cities, and had been regularly
examined and Instructed and qualified
previous" to being put to work on our
cars. Ho had been operating cars In
Drooklyn for about ten days before, tho
accident, nnd had been over this routo
tach day for five days preceding tho aCi
cldent On tho day of tho nccldcnt .e
had been ovor tho samo routo three
times.
"Tho management Is unable to stato
at this tlmo whether tho accident was
djo to the negligence of the operator of
tho ear, or to some outside tampering
with tho brako apparatus."
Nevr Labor Council Ilebnkeil.
In anothor statement Issued nt tho
company offices Receiver Garrison te
crled tho action of tho Central Trado
und Libor Council In tendering Its sup
port to tho striking car men, and de
clared that In so doing the council ta
slaughtering unionism. His statement
follows:
"I noto that the Central Trado and
Labor Council has offered its moral aup
port to tho members of the Amalga
mated Association who ,are on strlko In
Brooklyn. ,
"Such a coursq must result In Irre
trievable harm to tho causo of organ
ised labor, Tho bnels on. which organ
ised labor has progressed and can uae
rully continue Is by faithful observance
of contracts and an unswerving Insist
ence that strikes shall only occur with
Its approval when regularly called In
accordance with ttho constitution and
lawe of the union.'
"To npprove and to give moral sup
nnrt to a strike called by an organisa
tion which utterly disregarded Its.obllga-,
tlons and Its own constitution and gen
eral laws Is to slaughter, unionism In
the house of Its friends." ' I
It was said at tho company offices
tha servlco on the elevated ana subway

Paris, Sept. 12, Tho Italian Gov
ernment Is confront that It can crush
tho Soviet movfwt In Italy without
bloodshed, nnd Is urging employers to
mako concessions to workers, accord
ing to Information reaching hero this
afternoon. v
Tho Itnllun aencral Federation of
Labor ninmrcntly Is heeding tho les
son learned by tho Kronen Lnburltes
and fear their Inability to carry their
light through all branches of organ
ized tabor In Italy. A long statement
Just printed In llnllnn ncwspapcrs.aaya
that for tho present nt least tho strlko
movoment will bo confined to tho motal
workers only, but lenders of tho movo
ment admit that this decision was
reached only to perfect tho mothod of
novlotlsm which may bo applied to
other Industries Ih a direct attack on
tho Government later nn. '
Tho hopes of tho Italian flovernment
ovldcntly nre based on tho possibility "of
a break between tho General Federation
of Labor nnd tho Italian Hnclnllst party,
the Roejallst directorate being favorable
to nn extenslvo Communist movement,
with leaders ot labnr warning against
the adoption ot a radical policy. This It
Is held may- lead to u split bclweenMho
wo. factions.. .
i no ucmunun vi tne lueini wurncrB in
clude an Increase In pay amounting to
Ave lire n day. It Is -reported that tho
employers havo offered them a two lire
Increase, with Important pension nnd
food purchase, reforms which havo long
been sought by tho proletariat. "
Although Information hero Is thnt tho
Socialist faction in the Italian Chamber
of Deputies will bo called to meet In ex
traordinary session to-morrow It Is bo
lleved here that this will be for tho pur
pose' of advocating milder tactics and
tho acceptance of arbitration In tho
metal workers' strike In order to atavo
off a widespread revolution.
On the other hand, It Is foared thnt
the extreme Loft . will bo unwilling to
call quits now that tho employer have
weakened on n vital Issue and that they
will at least demand'an equal voice In
factory administration nnd the assign
ment of a share of tho profits to the
workers.
The dork workers' strike In Trieste
and In Genoa has not thus far resulted
either In damage to property or serious
stoppage of transportation, while the
spasmodic appeals to peasants In north
ern Italy have failed to arouse tho
agrarian associations even to the extent
of their ndoptlng a resolution of solidar
ity with tho metal workers,

Deputy Daragona presented a resolu

at Bologna, Ravenna, Mantua and Fcr

Republican lenders to-night' nre claim

FranK J. nam, chairman or the Re
publican State Committee, believes It
may run to 40,000 If, the women's voto
Is as large as registration would Indi
cate. Estimates have placed tho num
ber of women eligible to vote at 200,000,
and of this number approximately 03,000
, have registered.
I Democratla leaders aro ready to con
Iced -that the' Legislature will remain
Republican, as at present, but Louis J,
lirann, chairman of the DuMturatlo
Statb Committee, Issued a statement that
althbugh "a nUJorlty ot tho people ot
Malno are undoubtedly for tho penco
.treaty, there aro many local Issues which
I will affect the vote of tho Stato."
' Tho' Itepubllcan plurality will be de
termined to soma extent by the weather,
. A downpour of rnln has drenched tho
country roads all day and should It
oontlnuo on election day It will prob
ably cost the Itepubllcan ticket 10,000
votes,

'Tho campaign has emphasised tho
League of Nations as an Issue, Jocal
matters being almost wholly forgotten.
Tho Democratic speakers. Including
Franklin I), ltoosevelt, Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, W. O. McAdoo, former
Secretary of the Treasury, nnd Homer
S. Cummlngs, former national Demo
crntlcal chairman, have declared for
prompt ratification of the treaty with
out reservations.
On tho Republican side Gov. Calvin
Coolldge, nominee for Vice-President;
Senator Frellnghuyscn tf New Jersey
nnd Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
havo supported the Senate refusal to
ratify tho treaty without reservations
"designed to protect the safety, sov
ereignty and Independence of the United
States."
Other spcakors of national prominence
have been on tho hustings.
Mrs. William R Pattangnll of Au
kusta, member of the Woman's Demo
cratic National Committee, In a state
ment, published to-day, snld: "Jn some
cities thero has been lntlmldntlonof the

hurt tho cause of the, Republican pnrty.
I know of a number of women who en
rolled 0 Republicans bocnuso thoy
thought they must do so who will, In
tho secrecy of the .election booth, vote
for the Democratic nominees. Repub

"Tho eternal femulo Jn. politics" was
Col. Parkhurst's comment when Mrs.
Pattangall'B charges were brought to his
attention.
1'lniuber'a Dill nn Issue.
Although "intimidation" wilt not fig
ure In the female vote It Is nevertheless
fairly certain that vagaries hitherto but
llttlo in evidence at tho polls will mani
fest themselves. There are many
women of strong party alllllntlons who
make no secret of their Intention to cut
tho ticket. In one' case In particular a
plumbur Is a candidate for the Legisla
ture. A woman for whom he Installed
a bathroom last spring declares that his
bill was an Outrage, and she has suc
ceeded In Inducing several of her
women' friends to pledge themselves not
to voto for him.

of miffrngo for women havo not yet
given up tho battle. A delegation of

Walker, Speaker of tho Tennessee
IIouso of Representatives, left Nash
vlllo to-night, It wna learned hero, on
tho way to Washington to try to block

This delegation will n'slt Bocretnry
Colby to withdraw his proclamation of
'ratification 0 tho suffrage amendment
on tho ground that It Is not legally
mtlfled and that many contests nnd
much confusion may result In tho
coming elections therefrom.
Tho position tnken by the nntls is
explained n a statement credited to
Speaker Walker, put out by tho Na
tional Association Opposed to Woman
Huffrugo. This stattmont in part -follows!
,,
"Pn Wednesday. August II. a motion
was made In the House-that the Senate
joint resolution No. 1 ratifying tho
Nineteenth Amendment, lay upon tho
table. This motion inneo, mo- vum
being it' tie, 4S to 48. Tho question
then recurred, the House concurring In
the said Joint resolution by a voto of
49 to 4", but before the clerk announced
'the vote nnd beforo tho Speaker de
clared tho result I changed my voto
from 'no' to 'aye' and ontcred upon the
journnl a motion to reconsider. Under
nil rules of parliamentary law this -was
a privileged motion. The House met
on August 19 and 20 without nny action
being taken on tho motion to recon
sider. "On Saturday, August 21, In the ab
sence of a quorum, as tho Journnl af
firmatively shows, an effort was mado
to call said resolution from tho Jour
nal and In the nbsenco of a quorum
tho House refused to reconsider.
"The. motion to reconsider was en
tered on thV Journal on August IS. Un
til this motion was lawfully disposed of
tho clerk could not trnnsmlt tn the Sen
11 to said Joint resolution. If nd motion
had been entered on tho Journal for n
reconsideration within two days next
succeeding August 18, then under Itulo
SI It would havo been out of order for
any member to mako a motion to rocon
aider. Rule 31 does not provide that a
motion to reconsider shall bo disposed
of within two days, but It does provldo
that It shall bo In ordor for any member
voting with the prevailing sldo to
'movo for a reconsideration nt nny time
the samo day or the noxt two succeed
ing days of actual session.' 1
"This rule hns always been recognized
and followed ns I havo Interpreted tho
mime (herein. Tho motion to reconsider
was entered on tho Journnl tho very
mlnuto tee voto was cast and the rule
was complied with when, the very first
day n quorum waa present, on Septem
ber 1, tho Houso did reconsider Its ac
tion and non-concurred In said Joint
resolution No. 1."

Maiiion, Ohio, Sept. 12. With oloo

to record that no candidate over hud

Wurren O. Harding. It Is not ovcr

simple, soreno faith that tho great ma

sorloiwly than usual at such times,

moral stand ho hus taken.
This Is tho reason that Sonator Har

campaign fund acousatlonH flung about
tho country by his adversary. Kvon If
tho charges had contained merit, In
stead of having boon mado possible
as tricky campaign ammunition only
through tho dutness ot tho Republican
fund collectors, It Is probablo that
Harding's conftdonco would tfot hav
been Impaired.
Senator Harding bellovca that tho peo

session of tho National .Committee. The
facts thus acquired havo supported strjk
Ingly his opinion that the election of
1920 bids fnlr to bo tho election of 1896
ovor again, Thero aro similar reports
of Republicans leaving the Republican
party and of Democrats turning their
backs upon tho Democratic party. There
aro Blmllar sensationalisms, tho cam
paign fund charges of to-day bolng quite
comparable to tho vicious attneka that
wero mado against Mark Hanna.
Thero are vast numbers of silent peo
ple whose minds do not seem accesslblo
to tho seeker nfter opinion. The par
allel could bo extended if It were nccs
sary. Most Important, thero Is discern
ible 'to tho Senator arid his advisors a
public mood as aerlous and determined
as was the mood of twenty-four years
ago. To Harding It" spells tho quiet de
termination of the American people to ,
turn out of office every form of Wilson
frm and to put In office men who seem
likely to rebuild thu dismantled Govern-
ln,nt- . , , ..
Tho dally reports he receives from the
New York and Chicago ccnt-ca of na
tional commlttco work and thn reports
from tho States appear to corroborate
this point of view. More accurately
they arc the foundation of the convic
tion. Reports from Indiana aro typical.
In that State, which has been regarded
as a kind of political barometer, on In
tensive survey has been conducted,

selected from labor and small business,
nnd ascertain whnt thoy nro going to do.
They do things thoroughly tn Indlnna,
and the result of tho canvas.1 directed
from Chicngo by Scnhtor Now Is very
satisfactory to Republican hopes. It
shows that Harding will carry the Statn
by from 75,000 to 100,000; that Vatson
will 'bo reelected by a majority not much
less, and that tho whole State ticket and
probably the entire Congress ticket will

almost too optimistic for ready credence.
Kentucky Republicans aro sending word
to Harding that they expect to carry the
State for him by 50,000. Theso reports

against tho League of Nations compact,
and that a badly dlsorgarilzcd Demo
