W0MAN's CLUB.
STANDS PAT
ON MA1R0N
NO RECESSION OR SPLIT, SAYS
THE PRESIDENT, MRS.
HOUSE.
TAKE ACTION MARCH 9

Ther~ is no factional fight in the
Woman's club over the police ma
tron; there is no effort to "fire"
any one, and neither is there any
recession on the part Of the club in
the matron fight.
These three points are forcibly
brought to the surface in a state
ment issued today by Mrs. A. e.
House, president of the WOman's
club. Mrs. House says there will
be no action on the matron matter
until the social economic depart
ment of the club, which has the
matter in hand, holds it's regular
meeting. Wednesday, March 8. The
statement of Mrs. House follows:
To the Editor: So much has
appeared in the press lately con-
corning the Woman's club that l
am compelled, against my wish, to
ask for space in which to make a
statement of facts.
/. There has been no official
meeting of the club or of its Off
Gals since the meeting of the city
council Wednesday.

2. There will be no meeting, spe-
cial or regular, of the club on
Tuesday, March 1. Regular French
(Junior) department meeting, at
the Palace, and stenciling class at
400 Webster avenue this day as
usual.
8. No member has been asked to
resign, and l feel safe in saying
no one will be asked.
d., The matter of participating in
the Union Label leagues campaign
in Spokane has not been consid
cred in any way by the club.
5. The rumor that the club Is d.
vided into factions seems to have
originated in the newspaper offices.
We have too much to do; too many
interesting classes to attend; and
we have worked too hard to bring
our club up to it's present high
standard to allow these sensational
writeups to thus affect us.
Further than this, I will say \
have worked as an officer in the
club for three years and l have
confidence in it's members. We
know the history of introducing an
innovation in any community We
asked for what seemed an appar-
ent necessity to us; the necessity
still exists and it is still apparent
to all good citizens.
The next meeting of the club
will be held March Z. Mrs. c. B..
Dunning, vice president for the
state of Washington of Woman s
Rivers and Harbors congress, will
have charge of the program, which
will take up the subject of conser-
walton.
Wednesday following, March 8,
the social economics department
will meet and the committee on
the matron will make its report.
This department has for it's share
of work in the club all matters
pertaining to civic betterment, and
only those interested in sucn
work are members of the depart
ment. The relationship of the
general club over this department
Is the same as all others-general
supervision.
LAURA M. HOUSE.
The statement in Sunday paper
that a number of women have
signed petition against the action
of the matron committee is pro-
nounced a rank fake by some of
the leaders in the matron fight to-
day. Women were named as hav-
ing signed the petition that never
even knew of it's existence, and
others were named as being on the
petition that are absent from the
city in Europe. 1t is believed that
the Trainer of the story took the
membership list Of the club and de-
liberately attached their name to
the petition.
