Women Socialists Refuse to

IT took mass meeting of the women
socialists four hours and twenty minutes
yesterday to decide that the doctrine OF
"class consciousness" prevented them from
rallying their forces to the suffragette
standard. The comrades" who were gath
cred together in the Labor Temple. in saith
street, near Second avenue, had ten minutes
each in which TO speak. and they discussed
everything from child labor to the teachings
OF Karl Marx. Froebel and Maurice Mae
terlinck.
During the afternoon Mrs o. II. p. Bel
mont came In for some criticism Mrs
Theresa Malkiel said she believed in suf-
frage before Mrs. Belmont ever dreamed
of II. but she would not organize working
girls into suffrage clubs Just 10 suit Mrs
Belmont. adding: What does she want you
for, anyway? Not for yourselves"
'It was said that Mrs Belmont offered
to pay rent for this club and the leaders
were not against it, declared a speaker.
Mrs. Belmont was not the whole Ma
tional American Womens Suffrage Associa-
tion. which made overtures to the social
lists" retorted Miss Maud Malone.
Finally a resolution was passed which in
effect was that the socialists and suffra-
gettes are so strongly divided by class lines
that aTnIlaIlOn WOULD naInper JIe "oih VI

ing the 'proletariat" Glass conscious
ness is greater than sex consciousness, and
the socialist problem greater than the suf-

Resolutions also were passed relating TO
the Imprisonment of Elizabeth Gurley Jones
in Seattle. and the treatment of Mother
Jones in Colorado. Darkest Russia" was
one of the phrases included.

COLLIE DIED OF GRIEF.

A handsome black collie, belong
ing to Robert Boyle, a merchant in
Chester, Pa, died of grief the other
morning. Several weeks ago Mr..
Boyle's 14-month-old son Robert was
taken i'll. At first the collie simply
played about the child, its evident
purpose being to amuse the little
one. Finally the child became worse.
and from the time the dog heard its
little master groan with pain it re-
fused food and drink. The collie
would lie for hours beside the child's
bed, and when put out Of the room
would crouch at the door and whine
piteously. The dog become a mere
skeleton and starved itself to death
through grief.

KNEW THE SIGNS OF SPRING
Accurate, But Something Far Removed
from Skipping Lambs and
Green Fields.

A young teacher from the country
secured a place in one of the public
schools in the ghetto district on the
East side in New York. One day,
feeling the Spring fever herself,
she spoke to her class about it. Did
they know that spring had come?
They stared, dull and unrespon-
sive. Down there among the brick
walls, what did they know of spring ?
'Don't your fathers or mothers
ever talk about spring." she per-
sisted.
They shook their heads. Then one
small boy held up grimy hand.
''Teacher, | know wen spring 3
come" he piped.
'Listen, children" the teacher
said. ''Iky Schlinsky is going to
tell us how he knows when spring is
here"
