'hlsTcpiy to Mln McCall's .let
tr was that ho would voto "No I" to
the Question of .whether thero Bhould
L a Constitutional Convention.
When questioned on his stand yester
day Mr. Gacks replied that he had
no argument ho cared to offer.
Dies After Returning From Work
Shortly after ho returned from his
work jesterdny morning, h rank Murray,
forty-nine years old, of 218 Friends
avenue. Camden, was fatally stricken
with heart failure. Complaining of
feeling ill, he retired to his room. Ho
fell dead upon his bed nnd was found
by his mother. Coroner licntlcy gave a
death certificate.
Should a woman work?
Not the woman who works through
the sheer force of necessity to feed and
clothe her little ones but the woman
who is financially Independent or the,
woman whoie husbnnd is capable of
furnishing her with tho common lux
uries of life.
Should the latter be classiiied as one
who takes bread nnd butter away from
another who needs it?
Sho should, according to Mrs.
Samuel Gompcrs, wife of the presi
dent of the American Federation of
Labor.
"Women whoso husbands corn good
livings should not seek positions In
the business world, and thereby fur
nish nn overplus of labor which will
allow employers to use competitive
demand for jobs for the purpose of
lowering tho wages of women who nre
compelled to work," the labor leader's
wife eald.
Tho Other Side of Jiq Case
A somewhat different opinion Is ex
pressed by Mrs. Ilalnh Still, executive
secretary of tho Republican Women of
rniiniicipmn.
"Is there any reason why a broad
minded nnd Intelligent woman, occu
pying n five-room apartment and
having superior knowledge of some
sort, should not work?" she asks.
"If n woman Is able to have the
luxuries of life, which includo a scrv
nnt, does not her absence from the
home offer a position of employment to
some one?
"How can It bo said tho person who
works, though financially independent,
is taking tho bread and butter away
from some ono else? Perhaps an in
dependent woman can bo of more serv
ice to humanity I am not referring to
all wjpmcn than some women who
merely drudge and In the end If the
independent woman Is capnblo enough
she can enter into the field of charit
able organizations and tho Inw of com
pensation will apply."
Another nnglo of the situntion is
taken by Miss Theodora Butcher, sec
retary of tho Employment Bureau of
the loung Women's Christian Associa
tion. "The question as I understand It
cannot be taken as a general one," Miss
Butcher said.
Hard to Draw Line
"If we can settle the point as to
who will settle or rather draw tho line
ns to what consists of Independence and
the independent woman, It might be
possible to havo a law which would
cover the gcncrnl situation,
"If the demand is for skilled labor,
and it is skilled that is eswntlnl then
It is entirely up to tho Individual.
"Who can draw the lino as to
whether the woman Is working from
choico? That a ho depends on the in
dividual. "What one person might call choice
might be tho most necessary thing in
the life of the other. In other words,
it is impossible to take the situation in
hand when it is looked upon as a gen
erality. Tho whole thing depends on
me individual and the ethics of womankind."
Drivers and Many Police Disap
pointed When Burk Homo
Is Not Robbed
REPORT TURNS OUT FALSE
Lights early this morning In the con
servatory adjoining the rear of the borne
of Alfred E. Burk. Broad and Jeffer
son streets, attracted tho attention of
motorists, who stopped their automo
biles, believing burglars were trying to
force nn entrance Into tho house.
Ono motorist moro venturesome than
tho others entered tho yard, only to find
a score of policemen scurrying through
the undcrbush about tho house in searcn
of "burglars" on a report to tho Nine
teenth and Oxford streets police station
that they had "tried" to get In the
front door.
It was not until the patrolman had
made a thorough search of the Burk
liomo and the homo of A. L. FiUpat
rick, 1510 North Broad street nnd
found no intruders on tho premises.
that the autoraoblllsts were persuaded
to continue on their way.
