Women at Manchester.

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, March
24.-While the independent labor parts
was holding its convention here today.
a number of suffragettes stole up and
placed padlocks upon the doors of the
hall. When the delegates attempted to
leave, they found the doors locked on
the outside. One enraged delegate
climbed out on the roof and paid his
compliments to the suffragette move
ment in picturesque language. Anoth-
er delegate smashed a window and tried
to crawl through, but he got stuck in
the aperture and hung head downward
for nearly 20 minutes, meanwhile
screaming and kicking violently.
The suffragettes had placed chains
across the doors, and hammers and
chisels had to be brought into play
before the doors could be opened.
Meanwhile the hungry delegates were
clamoring in the assembly room. One
man. who professed a sympathy for
the feminist movement, was set upon
by his companions and roundly beaten.
As soon as they were released from the
assembly room, they selected the big
gest and stoutest delegates to act as
guards about the building during the
balance of the session
