Nashville Tenn, Aug. 31. The
Tennessee house of representatives,
a quorom present for the first time
since August 20, expunged from its
journal today all record of ratification
of the federal suffrage amendment,
and voted forty-seven to twenty-four,
with twenty not voting, to non-concur
in the action of the senate in
ratifying the amendment. Governor
Roberts, upon being notified of the
house's action, declined to make any
statement other than to say that the
situation could only be dealt with in
a legal manner and was in the hands
of Attorney General Thompson. The
latter, in a letter read on the house
floor during discussion of the matter
cf reconsidering the vote, expressed
the opinion that reconsideration of
thresolution of ratification was im
possible since the house already had
adopted it and Governor Roberts had
certified to Secretary of State Colby
this action by both house and sen
ate.
State officials and members of the
legislature expressed the belief to
night that legality or illegality of the
ratification would be decided upon
the record certified to Washington by
Governor Roberts and not on the ac
tion taken today.
Shortly after the house convened it
became evident that the anti-ratifica-
tionists. a majority of whom have
been in Alabama on a filibuster for
more than a week, were in me ma
jority, through failure of several of
the suffrage members to arrive in
time. With clocklike program, the
antis proceeded to put through their
plan of attempting to undo what was
done August 21. when ratification
was accomplished.
The first step was the motion to
expunge from the journal of that day
all reference to the proceedings upon
the suffrage ratification resolution.
fter this was carried, forty-seven to
thirtv-seven with six not voting, mo
tion was made and carried that a
copy of the resolution, the original of
which is in the hands of the senate,
be spread UDon the journal.
Representative Raddick, floor lead
er cf the ratificationists. made the
point of order that the resoultion was
out of the hands of the house and
now a part of the federal constitution
through proclamation of Secretary
Colby. He was overruled by Speaker
Walker.
The house, by a viva voce vote,
then adopted a motion to reconsider
its previous action upon the resolu
tion. A motion was then made and
carried to non-concur in the motion
of the senate in ratifying the ratifi
ctaion resolution.
The anti-ratificationists would not
state tonight when they expect to
mak'e an effort to have "the senate,
which voted to ratify, twenty-five to
four, to reverse Its action.
advisers had informed them that once
ratification was voted by a state leg
islature, the vote could not be re
versed, except In case congress pre
sented to the state a resolution to
appeal the amendment.
Many anti-suffragists claimed that
the legal tangle in which Tennessee's
ratification has become involved
would undoubtedly be made more
complex by the action.
WHISKY WORTH $2,000

Omaha, Aug. 31. Whiskey, esti
mated to be worth $2,000, some of
which the police said they believed

here. The driver of the car was not
located.
Washington. Aug. 31. State de
partment officials, in the absence of
Secretary Colby, tonight hesitated to
express an opinion as to the effect on
suffrage ratification of the action of
the Tennessee house in reconsidering
its vote on the ratification resolution
and then voting not to concur in the
senate's ratification. The situation,
it was said, however, was one with
which the state department was not
at present concerned. The action of
Secretary Colby in proclaiming the
suffrage amendment a part of the fed
eral constitution was based on a cer
tification by the governor of Tennes
spe, as required by law. Accordingly,
it was said, unless the governor
should rescind his certification or un
less the certification should be de
clared invalid by the courts, the state
department had no interest in the
matter.
Suffrage leaders in Washington did
not regard the Tennessee situation as
serious, declaring that the best legal

COX FRIENDLY TO
LABOR, SAYS A. F. L
Compares His Record With That of
Harding and Announces Its
Findings.
Governor James M. Cox gets a de
cided advantage over Senator Warren
G. Harding in the report of the non
partisan political campaign commit
tee of the American Federation of
Labor.
The committee consists of Samuel
Gompers. president of the federa
tion; Matthew Woll. vice president,
and Frank Morrison, secretary.
Cox's record in two years' in con
gress and six years as governor of
Ohio is declard eto be uniformly Tav
orable to labor, while Harding's rec
ord in the Ohio senate was as uni
formly unfavorable to labor.
In the senate of the Cnited States
the committee finds that on eighteen
votes important to labor Harding :c,i

Minimum Car Weight Drops from unfavorably to labor and voted seen
60.000 to 48,000 Pounds Ef
fective Until January 1.
The minimum weight of car loads
of grain and grain products, includ
ing flour drops today from 60,000
pounds to 48,000. for a temporary
trial to January 1. This is consid
ered something of a victory for small
millers of Nebraska.
The state railway commission has
had much to do with obtaining this
reduction, for the operators of half a
dozen large flour mills in the state
did not care how high the minimum
weight was fixed.
A minimum of 48,000 pounds has
been authorized by the interstate
commerce commission throughout the labor charter from the league of na
country on interstate traffic. All J tions covenant and for the Pomerene

times favorablv to labor.
Harding's Anti-La.bor Votes.
Of then ten votes unfavorable to
labor, four were in favor of the stjp
watch systems and brmuses on gov
ernment work, which labor opposed.
Harding voted against an appro
priation for an employment bureau
in the department of labor, Septem
ber 25. 1917. the committee finds.
Harding also voted for the Bor
land amendment increasing working
hours of government employees.
Harding voted against the motion
to extend federal control of railroads
for two years and voted for the Cum-mins-Esch
bill, containing the anti
strike provision.
Harding also voted to strike the
applied to the state commission for
the same minimum to be applied to
state traffic. The Nebraska commis
sion will consent to this, though it
desired 40,000 pounds as the mini
mum on flour. It did not object to
a high minimum on grain.

Harding's Pro-Labor Votes.
Harding voted twice favorably to
labor on the bill to restrict immigra
tion, soldiers' and sailors' rights bill,
war risk insurance, woman suffrage,
a proposition to increase the appro-
of flour in Nebraska was once down ' Priation for the bureau of concilia
to 42,000 pounds. There was liti
gation on the part of the roads for
a higher minimum and the state
commission lost. Forty thousand
pounds was made the minimum in
Nebraska to correspond to the mini
mum on interstate shipments. That
was before the war.
Director General McAdoo ordered
a minimum of 60,000 pounds to ter
minate March, 1920. The interstate
commerce commission extended the
period to September 1 in interstate
raffic and the transportation act of
congress extended it to state traffic.
At a conference at St. Louis for
the purpose of agreeing upon uni
form minimum weights nothing was
accomplished. Commissioner Thorne
A. Browne of Nebraska, when re
cently in Washington, 'conferred with
Chairman Clark of the interstate
commerce commission. The latter, as
carconservation measure, believed
60.000 pounds should be the mini
mum. Mr. Browne did not object as
o such a minimum ongrain but did

wrote Chairman Clarke a letter stat
ing that the Nebraska commission
was greatly concerned over a 60.000
pound minimum for flour. He said
there are many small mills in Ne-
tion, department of labor, and against
prohibiting federal employees from
affiliating with organized labor.
Harding in the Ohio senate voted
for employers' liability, mine protec
tion, safety couplers, air brakes,
horseshoeing and child labor bills.
The bills that Governor Cox voted
for in congress favorable to laoor
were the children's bureau bill and
the anti-phosphorus match bill.
The nny-nine bills which Cox has
signed as governor of Ohio cover ev
ery bill favorable to labor passed by
the legislature during his service.
Praises Cox's Sympathy for Labor.
The A. F. of L. committee says of
the acceptance speeches of the two
candidates.
Cox has shown Lijnself possessed
of a fuller understanding of the needs
of the working people, a readier re
sponse to their needs and to their
proposals and a broader statesman
ship in his public discussions of the
problems of the industrial world.
In addition to hi" superior under
standing Governor Cox is the candi
date on a platform -which labor has I
declared "marks a measure of pro-1
gress not found In the republican;
platform" and the planks of which
"more nearly approximate the desired
I the whole citizenship, cannot state
in definite terms what are their pro
posals ana wnat are ineir pieages.
The same exasperation must be felt
regarding many utterances of candi
dates. However, the viewpoint of
Governor Cox is, we find, more clear
ly expressed and less open to the
criticism of lack of clarity.
Moreover and as an argument that
admits of no qualifying or denial,
there is Governor Cox's record as
governor of Ohio, during which he
acted upon fifty-nine measures of in
terest" to labor without actingly on
a single one adversely to labor.
This is a record of fidelity to hu
manity, of understanding of the needs
of the great masses of the people that
has few equals in American political
life.
The committee quotes from Sena
tor Harding's acceptance speech and
other utterances which, it suggests,
characterize his attitude toward labor
more clearly than the committee can.

The committee says:
Xo definition of 4his exception to
the senator's approval of collective
bargaining has been found coining
from him. and his meaning is neces
sarily left open to eonjecture
This quotation from a Harding in
terview, given before his nomination,
apparently is objectionable:
"The vital problem of the present
day is this: How is the established
order going to resist the pressure of
inconoclastic forces? When our con
gress was intimated into enacting the
Adnmson law. the apprehension was
justified that all existing governments
might be infiuneced by the political
strength of organized minorities."
Organized labor took a leading
part in forcing passage of the Adam
son law.
Another quotation from Harding
said :
i am an employer of organized la
bor, having never known a contro
versy. Organization and collective
bargaining under wise leadership
have done more to advance the cause
of labor than all other agencies com
