They served notice on the Demo cratic* and Republican parties that the suffragists cannot be consid ered as a "ladies' auxiliary." They declared they had been "knocking at the door" for sixty years and now they are going to be or. the inside. The outline of the future poli cies of the suffrage workers of the country was made by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt at the first congress of the League of Women Voters.

The speaker asserted that wom en must now prove their capacity in political work, and "you will not prove It if you simply ?. K. the program prepared by the men." Mrs. Catt said the league would be a "semi-political, non-partisan organ ization." "Only one man in twenty-five will understand how we can carry out such a program, btu we will be able to do it," she ?aid.

VENTS SATIRE IN RESOLUTION Mason, Republican, Illinois, Says Lansing Aimed At Tumulty. Out of the surprise and discussion following the resignation of Secre tary of State Lansing, one man Hi Congress found a chance for a piece of satire and humor. Representative Mason, Illinois, In troduced a resolution asking the House Foreign Affairs Committee to Investigate whether I.anslng. by call ing Cabinet meetings without the President's knowledge, violated the Constitution. , Mason declared he ?Vanta to deter mine whether the Cabinet members who attended the meetings should be dismissed and whether the Constitu tion is "broken, destroyed or demol ished beyond repair" by.Lansing's act "The American people, still in fear and trembling, want to know whether1 the Constitution Was broken beyond repair or whether the correspondence of the now President and the cx-Sec retary of State is what is known in the French language as camouflage ami in the English language as btrnk." the resolution reads. 'The same people are shocked yd view with alarm The fact that o?*fcr ?members of the cabinet have seen present at such unconstitutional gatherings and have conspired, with Robert Lansing to break, destroy |and utterly demolish the Constltu | tion so that the aforesaid people j will be obliged to live on their by laws until a new constitution can be adopted or the old one repaired." The resolution then states that it is rumored Lansing did not desire to usurp the powers of the President, but those of Joe Tumulty, his sec retary. ! Another charge is that Secretaries | Baker and Daniels "met clandestine ly" and discussed Rear Admiral ! Sims' charges against the Navy De partment, and it is claimed that j Postmaster General Burleson con ? ferred with Attorney General Pal mer regarding suppressing un friendly newspapers and reducing the pay of postal employes. These, Mason claims, under the President's Interpretation, violates the Consti tution.

TOUCH ALL SITUATIONS Resolutions Adopted Which Members Believe Will Start New Era. Chicago. III.. Feb. 14.?After a three-day session The Ail-Ameri can Farmer-Labor Co-operative Congress finished Us labors of making America safe for the pro ducer and consumer. They also went on record against other Ills which afflict the body politic, and the 38S delegates present went home firm in the conviction that they had started a movement which will lay a new economic founda tion in this country. ? The congress, which is composed of delegates from the Farmers' National Council, with headquar ters at Waahlngton; the American Society of Equity, especially strong in the Northwest States: the An ?elent Order of Gleaners, the Grange and the Farmers' Union and labor unions affiliateti with the Ameri can Federation of Labor. In the offing were officers of the Non Partisan League, headed by Arthur C. Townley, its founder, but as the convention waa supposed to itaelt be nohpartisan, no references were made to the Northwest organisa tion. Establish Veed Relations. The object of the gathering was to establish co-operative relations be tween the producers, a* represented by the farmers and the consumers largely. If not wholly, represented by the mem bers of labor unions, in the main the sessions were harmonious, taking into consideration that it was readily the first effort to actually get the farmers and trade unions together. A significant resolution was passed during the linai session, and. in fact, all resolutions were acted upon today. A stir was created when it was pro posed to abolish the ..: ion label on union goods. The ir.otion was not ex ?u-tb put Uisi way. but Usa* is how It was interpreted. It wsa not an act aKatnst the union labor as much as it was lo show the farmer delegates that union labor was not a hide-hound organization, but more than willing to aid tpeir brother farmers in liberal interi. Matlon of industrial conditions. In,er? l'atea Leeds. Duncan McDonald, vice president or the ?? ...ms Federation ' of I-abor. headed the committee which drew up the resolution which provided that the Congress favored "union made" instead of "labelled" goods for ua? in co-operative stores. This practi cally relegates the label to the orna mental, although It does not affect the union principle in the manufac ture of goods. It was pointed out that the union label was meaningless in many industries, as for Instance coal, and that the farmer should not be made to discriminate in the flne dis tinction of what constituted labelled union-made goods. The principle of co-operation be tween farmers and labor unions was established in a dosen or more reso lutions bearing on different topics. In this connection practically everything whijeh ligures in the country's indus trial life was touched upon. Resolu tions on direct marketing, finance and banking, government ownership, sale of ship*, newspapers. World War Veterans, packers' bill and Interaa | tional legislation were discussed. ? aderse Plumb l'Isa. The principles of the Plumb plan | on railroads were Indorsed al ' though government ownership of | railroads was not embodied in the ? resolution. Equal suffrage was j supported when' the convention I voted to ask governors' to call spe Jcial essslons In those States whoae \ amendment has not been passed. I The principles of municipal and ' county food warehouses, provided ; in the Kenyon-Anderson bill for the ? control of the packers, were in . dot sed and Congress was urged to iact on the measure promptly. An other resolution adopted protested aKainst the United States Shipping , Hoard disposing of any of the Ger iman, or other ships built. It was urged upon the govern ment to permit the use of army ? motor trucks and other equipment ! and to use these In good roads con struction and in the hauling of j farm products to markets. A com? {mlttee will visit Washington to ! discuss the proposition. In regard to i the World War Veterans the con i gress voted to co-operate with them | and lead them their moral support. ; One of the most Important prob lems considered was the financing of the various co-operative under ' takings proposed.
