Chairman to Prosont Protost
ON WAY FROM OCEAN CITY
A csOBfl for prottftt nnd n mocllnR
placn for tho protestnnts wns ftimlnlicil
to commuter from Ocean City. thin
morning by Reading Uallnny. It wnH
a basKacc car packed with rcpirsontii

sional men.
Although sexcrnl who took part, in
Ihe impromptu meeting refused to give
their named, twenty-Plx In nil. Including
Director Sproule, nppolnted Charles A
Ulrich, head of a printing establish
ment here, or their chairman to present
a formal protest to the superintendent
of the division.
The twenty-Ms complainants nnd
about u dozen others Ray they were
forced to Mund packed together in
baggage car rfll tho way from Ocean
Citr to Philadelphia. Complaints to the
train crew were met with the informa
tion that thirteen cars had been ordered
for the train, but only eleven had been
received.
The commuters iay this is a regu
thr rammer. A movement vn first
started to refuse to nay fares and make
an issue of It. Cooler heads, prevailed,
and the euggcf.tirm was made that a
long bb the complainants w re together
tbo proper time and plaei for n meeting
were available. A trunk win pulled
out and Mr. Ulrich climbed upon It am)
a committee was formed on the spot.

Mr. Ulrich. after he had reached the
city. "I could not And him around
the station. Tho mnn in the office who
tpoke for hltn gave us the same old
perfunctory answer. 'I'll tell Mr. Turk
and be will look into it '
"This is not on ordinary abuse in
ny sense. Tbe regular commuters from
Ocean City are thoroughly aroused at
what they consider Hog Island tactics
in handling them, T might add that
(he great majority of the twenty-six
men who asked mi' to icprcseht them
am Quakers, a people famous for not
complaining or making trouble. Hut
conditions linvc become intolerable.
"We were packed together like beasts
this morning. About ten miles out of
Camden the train gave n sudden lurch
and we were thrown helter-skelter into
a pile. When we got ourselves un
tangled several men were painfully
scratched nnd bruised. 1 msclf hurl
my ankle badly.
"While the train crew wns polite,
thej were non-coiumital and seemed to
reflect the same attitude I found in the
superintendent's oilier.
"U'leasFupTomorrow
Counoll Committee Will Also Hear

Amendments to tho promised lease of
the Krankford elevated ltno nml Hus
fletoii surface line bv the city to the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co. will be

Transportation Committee of Council
tomorrow.
The period of the lease, free transfer
pointx on the elevated ,ind extension
of the HtMlcton line to Ryherry will be
among things discussed.
There is considerable difference nf
opinion nmong committeemen ns well
as residents of the sections affected. It
is. therefore, probable several hear

Nowly Chosen Officers From
Lately Enfranchised Sox
Ploased by Appointmonts
COULD NOT ASK MORE
Philadelphia women prominent in the
Republican party cxprecscd themselves
today as being satisfied, with the offices
given them Saturday at the meeting of
tho Republican State Committee. They
do not feel they were discriminated
against.
In the revision of the committee's
tules women were admitted to tho offices
of vice chairman and assistant secre
tary, but Hpecifically excluded from the
offices of president, secretary nnd trcnu
urer. It was also provided that when
(hero Is no chairman tho fcccrctnry tihali
preside.
Mrs. Ha relay- II. Wflrburton, who
was unpointed vice chnlrinan, said she
had given the matter n great neul of
thought and felt thankful that posi
tions hud been created where woman
could hnve mil official status in the
Republican Committee.
"Woman has been allowed to put
her foot n the door," Mrs. Wnrburton
said, "and it ia up tc her to get in the
rest, of the way. The men have given
tho women their chancn and it is renlb
up to them to do the rest."
Mrs. Klmer Mullck, executive secre
tary of the Women's State Republican
Committee, expressed hnrelf us con
tent and, in fact, gratified with the sit
uation. "(iolug into the State Committee is
just like going into a new business for
women." Mrs. MelicU said. "We can
not expect to learn all at once. If
men were plunged into the field of
homemaking and wanted to rise to the
top immediately we might have some
thing to sny on the subject. If they
demanded equal rights, equal represen
tation nnd equal recognition all at once
lucre might lie diasenting voices. It
Is the same wnv reversing the situa
tion. I think tho men were, gracloua
nnd courteous to make room for women
lu (ho official wny that they did. and
I feel that when wo measure up to
bigger thlnga and more responsible po
sitions they will be atandlng there ready
to glvo them to us."
VThe thought is now that eouio day
somo of tho women will mako aplendld
politicians, but. of course, all women
cannot bo politicians," she went on.
"As for tho hum nnd cry that hn
teen raised about the provision that
the secretary prcaldo at meetings in
place of (he chairman in emergency,
(hat la quite ncronllng to the rules now
prcvnltlng in women'a organisations. It
is not a discrimination nnd it ia foolish
to bold it ns Mil'h."
MIsh Margaret Mngulrc, principal of
the McCall School and nn appointee
for one of the eight city Senatorial dis
trlcta. felt the women should be con
tent to go slowly in the matter of poll
tics. It should not for them be a ques
tion nf criticism on their part, but one
nf nnalysis. They must have material
for this nnalyals, nnd it is up to them
to study (he situation thoroughly be
fore they crltlcire.

filament of tungsten makes !
The use of tungsten as a reproducing point was a real
discovery and an actual invention. Its soft fibrous qualities
were what had been sought for years.
This truly remarkable metal always insures a perfect
reproduction of the music and at the same time gives long
life to the records. The tungsten wears itself away rather
than the records.
You get these advantages only in the Victrola Tungs-tone
Stylus the Victor Company patented the stylus composed
of tungsten and therefore has the exclusive right to the use
thereof in any form of talking-machine needle.
Three tones extra loud, full, soft. The new extra loud
stylus will be largely used for dance music and outdoors.
10 cents per package of four points enough to play at least
1000 records. Semi-permanent. Changeable. Sold by all
Victor dealers.
