Dempsey Issues Statement
Hranding the ultimatum nctinn taken
at the meeting nf tbe miners here as
unofficial. John T. Dempsey, president
of district No. 1. has stated that he
does not think the miners will quit
work.
1 "The I nited Mine Workers of
1 America, us represented by the present
lenders." said Mr. Dempsey , "can take
care of the interests of the mine work
, ers without undue mid selfish Interest
.nn the part of others. During the ses.
j slons nf the commission In Scrnntou I
i charged that the strike in l'ittston of
1'ennsylvania Coal Co, miners, headed
by the men who are now calling a strike
of 175,000 miners, was n dual and dis
trict movement separate from the
I United Mine Workers of America.
I "The I. M. W. of A., as represented
nt the tri-district convention, has placed
' itself squarely on record recognising its
ability as nn organisation. F.noeh Wll
' Hums, leader of the Insurgents, rcpro
I srnts no organization, only personal
' nnd selfish interests, and is already in
defiance to the laws of the I'nitcd Mine
Workers of America. Necessarily be
must be viewed as an outlaw to the
1 I'nitcd Mine Workers of America.
I "The mine workers of this region
recognise their moral obligation to up-
hold their agreement. We propose flint
regular representatives of the I'nited
Aline orkers of America shall press
our case for a future increase, and I
say now we will fullill our purpose.
nt thstand ng tne liiterlerence of sel
fih nnd irresponsible persons."
Lenders of the 10,000 miners of the
Pennsylvania Coal Co.. who Inue been
on strike for two months, think now
that the increase is won. They say that
the company officials have been prom
ising to come to an agreement ns soon
as the case left the hands of the com
mission. The majority award refers
tie matter to the anthracite concilia
tion board, and, therefore, the strikers
think the company can eliminate the
obnoxious system without further diffi
culty. GOMPERS EXPECTED.

grades of coal, but this hns been con
stant through tbe past year. The pres
ent price of several grades of coal used
in the home is $MS0. It Is very likely
that the inciease September 1 will be
nbout 'JO cents n ton, bringing the price
to sin.
"Cnlcss some other unlooked-for
trouble occurs durins the nct six
months, it seems likely thut this will be
the average price per ton throughout

I fear there will be n serious scarcity

started," Mr. Scull continued.

One woman refused to give her name

"I might be drawn for jury duly if I
did." she explnincd, "nnd I would not
like that at all."
Another remarked that "the country
has been run all right br the men.
Why chango?"
Invited To Enter Homes
They were tho exceptions. However,
for most of the women willingly gave
the required Information. The enroll
ment took on something of the nntiite
of social calls. The assessors were In
vited to enter nt the homes they visited
and frequently a little chat proceeded
or followed the assessmnt.
Registration of the new voters will
begiu tomorrow nnd end Wednesday.
Tbe committee of women will sit from
10 n. in. to !l p. in. nnd from 0 p. in.

Women Give Aid
Ttesidents of tho Fifteenth division of
the Forty-second ward have been at
tracted by the novelty of two young
women taking assessments of the
women voters.
The two young women arc Miss Mar
garet Tlghe, of .'1450 York road, and
Mrs. Charles Schroder, of .'."25 York
rood, who have been .assisting the reg.
ulnr assessor for the division, Wiilard
Schroder, who Is laid up with the rheu
matism. Mr. Schroder said today he has been
having a bard time securing the names
in his division and not over 20 per cent
of the possible women voters have
shown their desire to exercise their
privilege of tho bullot.
"My assistants," however, seemed
to hnve better luck Saturday." he suid.
"The Women folks nt least did not slam
the door lu their faces with derogatory
remarks on women voting and minding
their business."
Mrs, Schroder, who is the nssessor s
stepmother, said :
"Miss Tighe and I found it grent fun
going from house to house and asking
the women if they were going to vote.
Some of tho replies were very umusins
and the afternoon spent gnve i-s a tine
impression of what the women of tins
vcctlon think about voting.
"Cenerally upeuking, 1 would say
thev don't think much of it. In the
entire square of York road between On -tnrio
and Tioga street, we ilidn t get
one name. Hut on North Marvlne street
we had better luck; Nearly every house
on the squnie between Krie avenue and
Venango street wasgoOd for the namcot
n woman voter and some houses two.
Display I-ack of Interest
"Tlte principal reason for women not
wonting to vote, it seemed to me. was
lack of interest. One old woman who
came to the door said, 'the ouly thing
I would vote tor would he for women to
stuv ot home and clean out some of
their dirty bock yards. What the
neighbors were going to do about It ap
peared to be the greatest concern ot
not a few women we encountered.
"One woman said. 'Is Mrs. Smith
next door going to vote?' W ben I told
her
1 bod not been mere ns jet em-
replied.
Well utter you go mere i-umu
buck here, aud if she's going 10 mjiU
I won't. So there'.'
At one door Miss Tlghe wns con
fronted by the roan nf the house who,
upon learning her mission, stated . o
mv wife won't vote If she votes, on
she enn go and make tiie living. Hj

,lor. and to an inquiry as to whether
she was going to penuu nvi i.usuu.o. i
boss her into not voting, suid :
"I'd like to sec him. Sure. I in going
to vote. It's nbout time these men quit
running things to spit themselves. I s
women have got to step in aud take a
hand in politics." Ihe result wag, a

Miss Tighe -is a stenographer at the

are going to vote "just for the fuu

FARE PARLEY TODAY
Controversy to Be Rooponod on
Mitten's Return From
Vacation
MAY ANNOUNCE ZONE PLAN
Work on the Itapid Transit Co.'s
plans for increasing its revenue will be
resumed today when Thomas K. Slit
ten, president of the company, returns
to' this city after n short vacation.
Announcement of a zone faro system
ns n substitute for the previous .faro
increase method, which was withdrawn
by tho company, ii expected within a
few days by Mr. Mitten.
There is a possibility that details
of the zone fare plan will be announced
on Wednesday night when Mr. Mitten
will give a dinner to officials ot the
company nt the Willow Grove Casino.
This dinner will follow n two-dny pic
nic which will bo held by the com
pany's employes.
May Touch on "L"
The Frankford elevated line situa
tion is also expected to be touched upon
by Mr. Mitten.
I'p to date there has been a failure of
all efforts of the company and the city
to reach nn agreement on the I'Vankford
line by which the company would
become the operator of that line in re
turn for a 5 ner cent payment to the
city on the $1:1,000,000 It has expended
in the ((instruction of that line. The
power question, in which the sale of
two powerhouses to tbe city by the com
pany is at issue, lias not yet been un
raveled. Director Twining and Ralph Senter,
traffic expert of the company, hnve been
conferring on the plans submitted by
Mr. Mitten, but up to dote no agree
ment or understanding has beeu reached,
Mr. Mitten is expected to submit nn
other proposition this week. In the
negotiations ou tho Frankford elevated
Mr. Mitten's antagonism to Director
Twining has made necessary the use of
a third party.
Boulevard Trolley Pending
One other problem preesslng for dec!
sion is the boulevard trolley line. That
line, or rather the legislation affecting
it, was the cause of the sensational
scandal in the spring of this year when
it was said that o $23,000 bribe bad
Deen asked lor the passage or the en
abling ordinance through Council. In
vestigation followed, but did not get
very far, and the bill providing for the
building of the line on the Kooscvelt
boulevard was subjected to a long delay
Residents along the boulevurd pro
tested against what they termed its
desecration by the running of trolley
tracks on the speedway. They wore
finally mollified when nn ouster clause
was put iu the enabling ordiuanco
which provided that the city could re
move the tracks to adjacent streets if
it was so minded in the future. That
clause brought a vigorous protest from
the P. R. T. officials, who said that
the clause was not acceptable to them.
However, the ordinance was passed and
the transit company given ninety days
iu which either to accept or reject the
franchise tendered them.
That period is near its end nnd as
yet there has been uo decision an
nounced by the P. It. T. officials.

Idea of Mrs. Bolmont for
Soparato Organization
IS "COLOSSAl MISTAKE"
Philadelphia women Republican lend
ers today said It would be h "big mis
take" if a fieporato women's party were
formed in this country.
Such n step hai been sugegstcd br
Mrs. O. 11. P. Belmont, of XeW York
the "finanelnl nngel" of the Xntlonni
Woman's party. Mrs. J. Willis Mar
tin, member of the executive committee
of tho Republican Women's committee
of Pennsylvania, snldi
"A politleul party composed exclu
sively of women would be ridiculous and
Ineffective.
"Tho women In some other states
may be thlnklnc of organizing a worn
en's political party, but tho women in
Pennsylvania have more intelligence.
The only way In which women can do
effective work is through one of tho
two already well.organlr.cd parties "
the Philadelphia women Republican,
said It would be a "colossol mistake"
to hnve the women members of a sen.
urate entity in political life.
Mrs. Thomas Robins, secretary of
tho executive committee, who cut short
her vacation at Sulphur Springs in or
der to bo nt her desk today, said-
"The, suggestion of Mrs. Belmont
concerning the formation of u woman's
party ns a separate entity in the polit
ical life of the Pnlted States follows
naturally the attitude which the Na
tional Women's party lias taken for
many years.
"Their work lias been done entirely
froni the militant point of view, nml
has stressed always the failure of both
parties and Jhe necessity of the woman
vote for the cause of reform. The work
of such a group has always been val
liable in instituting movements Involv
ing grent social changes, but every
Woman shows that such agitations must
be backed up by the approval and united
voice of ull tho people, men nnd wnmea
working together through the two great
parties, if they nrc to obtain dual ac
ceptance." Men's
