Today -100: May 1, 1923: Of parallels, high seas, May days, and tubes

Alva Belmont of the National Woman’s Party plans to set up a parallel congress of women to discuss the same issues as the real Congress. And issues the real Congress won’t discuss, like the Equal Rights Amendment.

The Supreme Court rules that the Volstead Act doesn’t apply to US ships on the high (ahem) seas.

Samuel Gompers, American Federation of Labor prez, says May Day doesn’t mean shit to American workers.

Romanian soldiers fight anti-Semitic students at the University of Bucharest. Students have also built barricades at the University of Jassy. And a bunch of Jewish students have been expelled from the University of Klausenberg after a fight, following what I’m sure was a fair process.

Headline of the Day -100:  

Same.
