WoMAN's WORLD IN PARAGRAPH
Woman's Share in Passing the Inter-
nafinnnI Cnnr MINI L

Mrs. NJ. :. Burke, the Washington
journalist, has done some Of the best
congressional correspondence that comes
from the capital She is well liked end
highly respected by senator's and repre-
sentatives, who give her FREQ access to
committee rooms and save bits Of news
for her. Channels Of information arc
open to her as they arc to the gentlemen
Of the press Mt Washington. A friend
tells me that this bright woman did her
share of helping on the international
copyright law to its passage. The bill
had been up before the house once,
bat failed to pass because a quorum
was not present. 1t was the closing
days Of the session. Speaker Reed
declared in righteous wrath that If
the friends OF the measure had not
enough interest in il TO vote for it when
it was on he would not call 1t up again,
because there were so many other neces-
sary bills to be put through before adj
jounment. Those anxious for the fate
Of the bill were in dismay. Meeting
Mrs. Burke one day, several Of them
begged her to call on the speaker and
use all her arguments TO induce him to
let the measure come up again. They
had exhausted their powers Of persuasion
and he had been obdurlte as rock
Mrs, Burke called on Mr.. Reed and
pleaded with him. He listened to her
