 Nearly 70 women and several men were present and the meeting was called to order by the temporary chairman. The first business was the reading of a let ter from Sidney M. Ullman, stating that Mrs. Kate O'IIare Of St. Louis, Mo- would be in this city Sunday, December 3. to lecture in the afternoon at the Orpheum theatre on the subject The Law and White Slavery" MT Ullman suggested that Mrs. O'IIare might ap- pear before the league and speak on woman suffrage of which she is a very active worker in the west, but this ques- ton was left to the executive board to decide. A petition was brought to the attention of the members. This petition is being circulated all over the United States and is to be sent to the senate ana house of representatives of the Unit ed States, asking these bodies to make it possible for state constitutions to in- sert a clause providing for equal suff- rage.
 The chairman announced that McLane Triton of Pell City had offered to ad- dress the league on the question of votes for women at any time that they might consider it convenient ,and those presented voted to invite MT. Triton as early as possible.

 The executive committee which will have Jurisdiction over the policy and affairs of the league Is composed of the seven officers and will also be known as a programme committee who will arrange the study course of the club.
 A pleasant feature of the afternoon was the informal talks made by sev- eral of the ladies regarding the inter- est taken by people in this league, the queries that have been received con- corning an official organizer for other towns of Alabama and requests for lit- erature bearing on the subject of wom- ems suffrage. The date and place of regular meeting is to be fixed by the bylaws committee and the possibility of having some of the meetings in the evening, when women who are em- ployed in the daytime may be present, met with favorable discussion.
