ALEXANDRIA, Va., February 25— Blds for the erection of & public school bullding were opened this afternoon at 4 o'clock in the chamber of the board of aldermen in the presence of the members of the financial committee asd committee on schools of the city council and the bidders. The lowest bid for its construction was $63,487, which came from the King Lumber Company of Charlottesville, Va. This wan for the general constructlon work and did not include heating, verrtilation and plumbing. Seventeen bids were re- celyed, and of this number ten were for general construction and the re- madnder were for heating and electrical work. The committee decided to hold a meeting Monday night at 7:30 o'clock to again go over the bids and award the contract: ! For construction work the bids fol-| low: Hugh Herfurth, Alexandria, $92, 150; Julian D. Knight, Alexandria, $70, 000; Reed & Wogd, Alexandria, $84,483; Wise Granite ~Company, Richniond, ! $74460; W.

Kent White, Alexandria, $1,41 Washington & Ladd, Alexandria, $1,7 Michuels & Company, Norfolk, $1.850 Members of the committe and the city engineer stated that the bids wer. considerably lower than they had ex- pected. es it was generally believed that the bids would be considerably in excess of the amount appropriated by council for the construction of the school, which is $85,000. 1t is believed, however, that the lowest of the hids received for all lines ofy work together with the Inspector’s time, who will be employed by the city to watch the con- struction work, probably will make the ®rand total somewhat in excess of $8 000. The committee did not receive a single bid for the plumbing work.

We believe, in the light of ex- perience with' the federal Constitu- tion as it stands, that the language of the proposed amendment. if em- bodied in the Constitution, including the terms ‘civil or legal disabilities and inequalities on account of sex, or MISS JULIA O’CONNOR, Executive board member of the Na- tional Women’s Trade Union League. on account of marriage unless apply- ing alike to both sexes,’ would be subject to such varying opinions by the state courts that laws protecting wage-earning women, including wage earning mothers, would have to be- come once more the#subject of law- suits and eventual decision of the United States Supreme Court as to their constitutionality. “At the very leasts we believe that the proposed amendment, by throwing these laws into court, would involve years of lawsuits and delay before the question could be settled.” Delegates to the conference include working women from many parts of the country, representing their vari- ous local unions, central labor bodies, and, the various branches of the Nat- ional Women's Trade Union League, which is itself a federation of trade union women and allies of the labor movement, with an affilfated member- ship of about 600,000, Many Delegates to Be Present.
