form the General Federation. 1t con.
siders its reasons for withdrawal suf-
ficient; it believes them sound. At the
moment OF passing the resolutions to
withdraw it's main object was withdraw.
al-the wording of it's resolutions was OF
secondary importance. Granting that
the club failed to express itself clearly
in the wording of its resolutions, it ex-
pressed itself clearly in the act Of with
drawal. Stripped Of all technically, it
is fact that Mrs. Ruffin, colored wo-
man, representing a club of colored
women belonging to the Massachusetts,
State Federation, duly accredited dele
gate from her club, was rejected by the
General Federation. 1.-THE delegate of
the Womsn's Era Club had been white
woman, representing club Of white
women, it is probably true that she
would not have been rejected. The &C.
ton of the Medford Woman's Club may
be wise or unwise, but it acted under no
misconception OF the situation.
II the president and secretary of the
General Federation. in their letters of
welcome to and acceptance to MEMBER
ship Of the Woman's Era Club, il the
treasurer, in receiving it's money and
giving it's delegate proper credentials. If
these officers were too hasty, and ex-
ceeded their duties or privileges. they
should properly be the ones to suffer
from the effects Of too ''hasty action"
and not Mrs. Ruffin. We sympathize
deeply with her, and through her We
feel the direct sffront given to an ac-
credited delegate to club belonging to
the Massachusetts, State Federation of
Women's Clubs, and to a member of its
Executive Board. The Medford Wom-
ems Club regrets that the Massachus-
etts State Federation did not withdraw
from membership in the General Fed
GRAFTON at it's last biennial 10 conse-
quence Of the direct affront. But this
expression OF regret is not made 10
spirit Of conscious criticism any more
than was the communication from the
Executive Board to whom this is a re-
ply. In this connection it is proper to
bear in mind that the State Federation
and this club are Independent organiza-
tions, each accounting only to itself,
each under the necessity Of deciding its
own action. This club in Withdrawing
from the General Federation was free
from the guilt Of "hssty action" The
question Of withdrawal has been under
consideration and discussion for over
two years. 1t has felt the yearly dues
to be excessively large. it has not ap-
proved Of it's relation, as a single club.
to the General Federation. Moet i'm
portant Of all, it has not been in SYM
psthy with the actual results of that
organization.
