PLEDGED TO FIGHT
PREVAILING EVILS

Portland, Ore. oct. 23.-The ma
uonal convention w. c. I. U. reaf-
firmed its belief yesterday that total
abstinence was the only safe course
to pursue and that prohibition was
the only effective means of destroying
the liquor traffic and its coordinate
evil, white slavery. The doctrine that
the social evil is a necessary one was
condemned and segregation and reg
ulation declared to be wrong in prin-
ciple and ineffective. Effectual suf-
frage for women was approved as
just and right. and a minimum wage
and equal pay for equal work endors-
ed. Hearty approval of the move to-
ward universal peace was given.
The reports OF meetings of vari-
Gus kinds held by the union through
out the country during the last year
showed that the number ran into the
tens of thousands, while millions of
pages of temperance literature had
been circulated.
one of the most significant ad-
dresses in the convention was that de-
livered by Miss Mae Whitman, ma
tional superintendent of temperance
and labor work. Miss Whitman took
a firm stand in favor of the eight
hour law for workers of both sexes.
She declared that investigation had
shown that though labor leaders and
labor unions often make mistakes,
the trend of unions is toward sobri-
ETY. and better morals. she condemn
ed the saloon as the owrking mans
club and declared perfectly feasible
the friendly inn" as substitute.
Todays interest centers in the cleo
ton of officers. While no flat asser-
tion was forthcoming, the impression
seemed to be general among the dele
gates that practically all the officers
who have served during the last year
will be reelected.
While several cities have sought
the national convention for 1913, it
was generally believed that Washing
ton, d. c.. would be chosen. The Sc
| lection will be made on Thursday.
