20 the plan providing for the payment OF

marriage dowries'' they would have re-
ceived in the event they mad entered the
state Of coniugal bliss.
The proposition came before the conven-
tion in the shape Of a report Of the oom-
mittee on organization, read by Miss Rose
schneidermann Of New York. Il was shown
that inducements along similar lines have
been tried among working women in Eng
land and, according to Miss Mary r. Macar-
thur Of London, the scheme has proved a
great success there.
The national executive board was au-
thorized to work out the plan on the basis
OF a graded scale and put II into operation
as soon as possible. It is likely that special
funds will be put aside for the purpose and
each member credited with SO a year to
apply to either the marriage dowry or the
vacation benefit.
In ten years the girls who decided to
marry would be entitled to 800. and a sim.
liar sum would go to spinsters as a vaca-

course, we have not decided how
much the amounts will be-" said Mrs.
Raymond Robins. national president of the
league. That is a matter to be worked
out by the executive board. We believe.
however, that whatever is decided upon
the scheme will be an inducement TO unor-
ganized working girls TO Join labor unions. -
Originally the plan was drafted to apply
only to girls who decided to marry. Miss
Emma Steghagen. secretary Of the Chicago
league, declared, however, that I'VE old
maids heard about the discrimination and

"Teere are some OF us who don't expect

good things go TO other girls. II was a
plain case of unjust discrimination

organization. As a matter of fact, who are
