Mn He explained that sixteen of those
women engaged in textile manufacturers
Visited the capitol for the pur-
nose of presenting respectful
rrotest against that bill. and
had asked an opportunity of
admitting their views to the finance
.ommittee. He believed that those
women fairly represented the opinions of
more than two millions of the wage-earn-
inc women of the United States. The
majority of the finance committee had
decided not to give them a hearing and
then they had asked the minority of the
committee to do so. The minority had
heard them. and the hearing was very
innortant and interesting one. Their
views were now presented in the form of
memorial, and he asked that the memo
rial be printed in the form of a document
for the use of the Senate There being
no objection, it was so ordered.
