STILL DEAD LOCKED ON MINERS WAGES; MAY SPLIT STATES

$ (By Assdeiaied Press) t; CLEVELAND. O.. Aug. 18. A decision of the coal operators of the central competitive coal field. Ohio, Indiana and western Pennsylvania, for separate bargaining with the miners Of each state is probable, it was teamed at today's meeting of the two sub-committees appointed, who reported disagreement to the joint committee in the deadlock on the miners' request for adjustment of inequalities existing in the recent govequalities existing in the recent award of the government bitumiuous coal commission. "Great differences exist among the operators of the four states," said William Green, secretary-treasurer of the United Mine Workers." which may result in 1he disruption in the joint wage movement now in force." It was learned from authoritative sources that operators of Illinois and Indiana are in favor of settling the differences existing over the inequalities in the wage award, but the operators of Ohio and western Pennsylvania are opposed to the adjustment. Report No Progress s The subcommittee and the original sub-committee met this morning and later reported to the joint conference that they had made no progress. In the session of the joint conference, representatives of the miners offered a resolution proposing that the day and monthly men of the field be given an increase of $1.50 a day, and agreed to waive all other demands. The miners' representatives of the four states unanimously voted in fa vor of. this resolution and the operators unanimously voted against it. The joint conference then adjourned until S o'clock tonight. Made a Better Offer. The operators had made the miners a better offer than the one they had unanimously rejected Monday, it was said, but the nature could not be learned until it had been presented to the full scale committee. Monday the operators had offered the day laborers an increase of from 35 to 72 cents a day. It has been reported that unless the deadlock was broken today the miners' officials may break up the conference, go back to Indianapolis, call in the general executive board and put out. a referendum.

BAREFOOT BOYS GALL ON SENATOR HARDING (By Associated Press) MARION, O.. Aug. 18 Senator Harding received his "littlest" front porch delegation today. It consisted of six barefoot Marion urchins, who marched up in military dignity under the command of a cocky little leader, bearing aloft an American flag and a Harding picture tacked on the back of a snow shovel. They serenaded the senator with a campaign song and were rewarded with a handshake and a smile of approval, and their privilege of having their pictures taken with the nominee. Senator Harding was the invited guest of the lumbermen's association of the western Marlon district at a picnic here today in a park, in the outskirts of the city. Brief Address Expected It was expected that late this afternoon, he would deliver a brief address touching on the more important campaign issues. Senator Harding spent most of the morning working on the address that he will deliver tomorrow to members and former friends of the Ohio legislature. This speech, it has been announced at Harding headquarters will deal with every issue, and will be one of the most important he has delivered thus far.

COOLIDGE RAKES HIS TREASURER OF STATE (By Associated Press) BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 18.

Courted Ten Days, Lived Together Two; Now Wife Asks Divorce From Wilkes Following presentation of evidence in a divorce case jn Wayne circuit court Wednesday, that of Hazel Wilkes against Norman Wilkes, in which the plaintiff stated that her husband lived with her only two days after marriage, following a 10 days' courtship, Judge Bond expressed the opinion that some effective legislation was required to discourage "marriage in haste, repent at leisure." Judge Bond stated his belief that a remedy for hasty marriages would be found if the state refused to issue marriage licenses until 60 days after they had been applied for, and that applications for licenses be advertised prior to their issuance. Judge Bond also stated that, in his his opinion, the granting of limited divorces was the proper solution for many cases. The limited divorce prevents remarriage of the parties involved, but provides legal separation "from bed and board." There is an Indiana statute under which application for limited divorce may be filed, but, at least so far as Wayne county is concerned, it is a "dead letter" law. Court May Limit Action All actions filed in Wayne circuit court are for absolute divorce. Judge Bond has expressed an opinion that the court has the authority to authorize a limited divorce, even when application for absolute divorce has been filed, and he has said that he may some time take such action so the question may be passed upon by the higher courts. In the Wilkes divorce action Judge Bond took the case under advisement. Nancy E. Revalee was granted a divorce from Larkin Revalee on the ground of desertion and Improper relations with other women. She was granted the custody of the child. Letters were introduced showing the defendant's misconduct. , In one letter he wrote to Mrs. Revalee he stated that he "could not settle dcvn."

LOWER HOUSE

FOR SUFFRAGE BY 50J0 46 Opponent Moves To Reconsider, and House Will Meet Tomorrow for That Purpose Thought Unlikely. VOTE INlENATE, 25-4 (By Associated Press) NASHVILLE, Term., Aug. 18. Tennessee today became the 36th state to pass the Susan B. Anthony federal suffrage amendment, the constitutional change that will become effective in time for the 17,000,000 women of the country to vote in the presidential election in November, unless the lower house of the Tennessee legislature rescinds its action in adopting the ratifaction resolution, 50 to 46. The senate ratified the amendment last Friday by a vote of 25 to 4. Speaker Seth Walker, leader of the anti-suffragists, put opponents in a position to demand reconsideration by changing his vote from nay to aye and moving to reconsider. The house adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow, when the speaker's motion will have the right of way. Suffrage and anti-suffrage forces tightened their lines this afternoon for the final fight, and both sides were claiming victory. Suffragist leaders declare they will not let up In their efforts, as they desire to have at least one other state ratify before the November elections, as they fear a fight may be made against Tennessee's action, because of a clause in the state constitution which prohibits any assembly from acting on an amendment not submitter before the member were elected. Both United State Solicitor General and the Attorney General of Tennessee have declared this clause to be unconstitutional in the light of the recent decision by the supreme court In the Ohio controversy. Suffrage Wins First The suffrage won the first fight in the house today, when a motion to take the resolution was lost, on a tie vote, 48 to 48. This would have put over action until 1921. Some of those keeping tally of the voters record the vote. 49 to 47, in favor, and first reports were that suffrage had lost. The official tally shows a tie vote however, and to make assurance doubly, a second roll call was taken. The vote again was recorded as 48 to 48. and the motion to table was declared lost. COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 18 Gov. Cox Democratic presidental nominee received his first news from the Associated Press of Tennessee's action on the woman suffrage amendment. He said he would withhold comment for the present. WASHINGTON. Aug. 17 Ratification of the suffrage amendment to the constitution ends a struggle which began in this country before the Colonies declared independence. It will eventually enfranchise 25,000,000 women. First Heard In 1647 Women suffrage first raised Its voice in America, in Maryland, In 1647 when Mistress Margaret Brent, heir of Lord Calvert, demanded a place in the legislature of the colony as a property holder of wide extent. In the days of the Revolution, Abigail Adams wrote her husband, John Adams at the Continental Congress which was framing the laws of the Infant nation that, "if in the new laws particular care and attention are not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, 'and will not hold ourselves bound to obey any laws in which we have no voice. Organized work for women suffrage began in the United States with the "Woman's Rights Convention," In Seneca Falls, N. Y., In 1S48, which was called by Lucretla Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, early leaders of Massachusetts and New York. In response to the indignation aroused by the refusal to permit women to take part

In the anti-slavery convention of 1840. Miss Anthony in 1852 From the date of that convention the suffrage movement in the United States began the fight that lasted 70 years and ended with a victory. Another convention followed in 1852 at Syracuse, N. Y.. at which delegates from Canada weie present, and It was there that Susan B. Anthony assumed leadership of the cause to which she devoted her life. In 1869, the National Woman 8uffrage association, with Miss Anthony" and Mrs. Stanton at Its head waa formed In New York, and In the same year the American Woman Suffrage association was organized In Cleveland, with Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe as Its leaders. At first differing widely In policy, the National association working to put a suffrage amendment through the federal congress and its sister organization bending its efforts to convert the country state by state, the twa associations later united under the name of the National Woman's Suffrage association.
