LIQUOR AMENDMENT IS NOT SUBJECT TO .DIRECT REFERENDUM

WASHINGTON. June 2 The supreme court, in an unanimous opinion, Tuesday, held that Federal constitutional amendments can not be submitted to popular vote for ratification by states having referendum provisions in their constitutions. The method of ratifying amendments, the court held, is a national power specifically granted by the federal constitution and the states have no authority to provide otherwise. In eo holding, the court declares Inoperative provisions of the Ohio state constitution authorizing submission of federal amendments to a referendum for ratification, and overturned state supreme court t decrees dismissing injunction proceedings brought by George S. Hawke, Cincinnati attorney, in a taxpayer's suit to enjoin submission of the prohibition and woman's suffrage amendments to a referendum vote. Next to the cases involving the validity of the prohibition amendment and the enforcement, the Ohio refer

endum cases were considered the most important before the supreme court. Would Have Affected Dry Rule. Had the court ruled otherwise, the decision would most likely have resulted, according to court officials, in the reopening of the suffrage question in approximately a dozen states and the filing of petitions for a referendum vote. With 35 states, one less than the constitutional three-fourths, having already ratified the suffrage amendment, an opposite decision would have banished all hopes of ratification prior to the November elections. The decision, however, does not affect the pending prohibition cases, as none involved that question except in directly. In view of the fact that 45 of the 48 states have already ratified the liquor amendment, attorneys in recently arguing those cases before the supreme court, conceded that even if the court held that the prohibition amendment could be submitted to the voters, enough states without referendum provisions in their constitutions would remain to provide the required three-fourths. The court's opinion, however, puts an end to any controversy as to whether Ohio has ratified both the amendments and puts Ohio definitely in the list of states approving each of the amendments.

PALMER CRITICIZES COMMITTEE OF 12

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C, 'June 2. At

torney General Palmer turned aside

today from his prepared answer to criticisms of Assistant Secretary of

Labor Post to discuss before the house rules committee, the criticism of the Department of Justice in regard to deportation proceedings contained in a report of a committee of 12 lawyers recntly made public by the national pure government league. The attorney general said he did not know all of the signers of the report but that he

was "not favorably impressed" by

those he did know. "We find several of them appearing as consuls for Communists and Communist labor party members at deportations hearings" he said. G. 0. P, CANDIDATES MEET IN CAPITAL (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, June 2 Details of the fall campaign were planned by Republican state candidates here today. The ways and means of obtaining the necessary expense money was one of the important matters up for consideration. The candidates are Warren T. McCray, Kentland, for governor; Emmett F. Branch, Martinsville, for lieutenant governor; Ira C. Batman, Bloomington, for judge of the appellate court, first district; E. A. Dausman, for judge of the appellate court, second district; Julius C. Travis, Laporte, for judge of the supreme court, fifth district; Ed Jackson. Lafayette, for secretary of state; L. N.

Richmond, with a. population of approximately 26,000 people and covering an area of 2,640 acres, has only 1,900 women regularly employed, in comparison to 6,000 men, according to the survey made by Miss Jeannette White for the Y. W. C. A. about three months ago. The survey report has been sent to Mr3. A. W. Roach, chairman of this district of the Y. W. C. A. In her survey, Miss White states she believes the need for a Y. W. C. A., both as a dormitory and social and recreational headquarters, is imperative in Richmond. "I found a widely expressed opinion that there is a great shortage of women workers in Richmond," she said. "All the factories I visited had unused machines, and practically all the labor supply is local. If more girls could be housed and attracted to the city, a serious problem of labor would be lightened, it seems." Women workers in the city are classified as follows in the Y. W. C. A. survey: Factories. 884; retail and wholesale stores, 225; clerical workers, 600; domestics about 100; hotels, 36; restaurants, 50; bakeries, 54; laundries, 25; nurses, 43. Several of these classes overlap, giving the smaller total. Everybody Knows Everybody. "Richmond has the customs, reactions and habits of thought of a large town rather than a large citv." said

the survey. "There are not distinct groups and public opinion does not seem to be colored by any one point of view or set of opinions. "Controversies over politics, industrial questions, civic problems and soforth never seem to hold the center of the stage for any length of time. There are no outstanding antagonisms of purpose or ideas. "The growth of the town has been slow and steady so that the various phases of civic life have been kept well in hand and a fairly good balance maintained between new needs as they appear and the facilities for handling them. "However, the expansion of industry which is now taking place, and the natural growth of the town is bringing about a situation in which the employed girls have not the means for normal expression and group activity. Supply Is Exhausted. "The local labor supply of girls and women is practically exhausted,

as evidenced by the almost unanimous reply of employers that they could not get enough girls, and by the efforts being made to increase the numbers, which will necessitate bringing in girls from the smaller towns. "This problem has brought before employers the housing problem. I was told of many Instances of girls coming to Richmond to wrork because there is nothing social or recreational to hold them. An active interest and encouraging response was shown by all employers and individuals I met." Savings Are Growing. Regarding the resources of the city Miss White listed the following:

Banking resources approximate over $10,000,000. Estimated savings accounts total about $3,000,000, more than $500,000 more than 1919. Capitalization of industries is $9,500.000. The annual payroll amounts to $4,000,000. Wages are said to be somewhat lower than in other places. Practically all the stock is owned by Richmond people. The social service bureau gave assistance to about 300 families last year. Response from the people of the community is said to be very, generous. Mr. A. G. Mathews of the Second National Bank, is quoted in the survey as saying he believed the need for a Y. W. C A. was great, and that the

town could ably support the movement.

WOMEN THRUST OUT AFTER HECKLING OF SENATE ON 4RELAND

WASHINGTON, June 2 Both the senate and house were thrown into an uproar Tuesday by an outbreak of women sympathizers with Irish freedom. There were evidently two parties to the demonstration which started first in the senate during a speech by Senator Brandegee, Republican, Connecticut, opposing acceptance of a mandate over Armenia. Later, a woman eluded guards at the house chamber door and with friends in the gallery, shouted a challenge to members to deny their appeal in behalf of Ireland. Answering a demand from the floor

that they be thrown out and locked up, the women defied the entire house

to attempt it, and guards started after them as they raced around the gallery, creating great disorder until they

finally were subdued and ejected.

No Charges Lodged Although the offenders were escorted to the capital guardroom, no charges were lodged against them and they were permitted to go. Breaking suddenly on the proverbial dignity of the senate, just after Senator Brandegee had referred to "the ravages of the Hun," a woman's shrill voice from the gallery startled senators and attendants alike. As the woman shouted "Why not eject the English Hun from Ireland?" gallery guards made a rush in her direction, while the strindent command from Vice-president Marshall to "put

her out," led instantly to heckling

from other parts of the gallery

For a moment a whirlwind of ques

tions sweDt down from the galleries

while the vice-president, laying aside his gavel, shouted sharp, peremptory orders to the atendants to remove

the women. Senator Brandegee Patient. Meanwhile Senator Brandegee, still

holding his ground, waited patiently for order. Spectators who took no part in the outbreak seemed more startled than the members. Order was finally restbred and the senate went back to its work.
