At the conclusion of the report
controversy arose over a motion by
Mrs. Hilliard of Ogden to the effect
that clubs whose dues were sent in
after the regular time should not be
permitted to vote during the conven-
ton.
Mrs. Hiniard was told that the by
laws contained such a provision, and
the motion was ruled out Of order.
Mrs. c. S. Kinney moved that the by
laws be suspended and that clubs whose
dues had been paid at the time the
vote was taken should be allowed to
cast their ballot
Mrs. billiard objected and said that
such methods were unbusiness like.
Mrs. Igleheart thought that clubs
were organized for the purpose of OBJ
tanning business training as we'll as
anything else and believed that the
rules should be enforced, thereby
teaching club members the lesson of
prOmDtness.
At the end of the discussion the vote
was called and the motion lost The
clubs therefore whose dues were not
paid by Oct. 1, will not be entitled to
vote during the convention.

son represented the WOman's club of
Springville and Miss Rankin reported

Mrs. Charles d. Moore gave a bril-
liant report of the biennial meeting of
the general federation. She dealt prin-
cipally with the practical side of the
great convention, and told of the work
done along industrial and educational
lines, and also of the free travelling
library.
Mrs. Moore related in a witty fashion
the numerous incidents of the conven-
ton. described the opening, when the
president had neglected to bring her
gavel and after searching every mem
Der of the house a tack hammer was
finally procured and with that useful
domestic article the biennial opened.
Continuing, she said:
Mrs Lowe considers the most sig
nificant feature of the two years past
to be the growing interest of the wo-
men of the federation in the women
and children who are wage-earners in
America. Our work. she says. has
heretofore been for others. now we pro
pose in the broadcast sense to work with
others
Perhaps no part of the convention
interested US more than the earnest
ness which those prominent in its in
dustrlal department manifested under
the leadership of Corinne S. Brown of
Chicago Mrs. Ottey of Georgia pleaded
eloquently for cooperation between
club women and wage earning women
the forming of unions among the more
than 4,OO9OOo wage-earning women in
America and foT the elimination of the
wage earning child. Mrs. HAYWOOD of
Evanston followed, and stated most i'm
pressively. White slavery exists in the
south today, mostly little children
white souls are cheaper
Mrs. Stetson's Address.
Charlotte Perkins Stetson. the only
paid speaker of the biennial, whom Mrs.
Urquhart Lee named to the Reviewers
the other afternoon, the woman of the
greatest brain before the American
public today, held the tremendous an
dience of this session intent without the
least apparent effort. But she was
cruelty interrupted and compelled to
retire at the fall of the gavel, because
previous speakers had taken the time
that belonged to her. Every one who
listened will be eager to continue to
completion the lecture which is to be
embodied in her forthcoming book on
Work
" Studying the in sustrial conditions
said Mrs. Perkins. it should be clear
that we need to elevate tho Sc conditions
through the expression of the organized
will Of the people-haIf the people on
