Duluth Women Protest Against For

1t is well known that Duluth club wo-
men are not in sympathy with the action
taken by the state federation in regard
to the converting of a portion of the
Leech Lake reservation into a national
park. Yesterday, at the meeting of the
executive board of the federation, which
preceded the luncheon. Mrs William
Ely BramhaH announced that thirteen
members of the Magazine club, of Duluth,
had sent her, as chairman of the forest
reserve committee, a protest against the
Endorsement by the Minnesota federation
of the forest reserve bill now pending in
congress. The Zenith city women stated
that they had not been given an oppor-
tunity to protest before the Endorsement
was made. Mrs. Bramhan thought that
such a protest, coming at this time and
to the committee, rather than to the
PenotieFe thought otherwise, however,
and ruled that the Duluth women were
at liberty to enter formal protest to the
federation
Several measures of importance were
considered yesterday at the board meet
