CONGRESSIONAL UNION
 A FAILURE, SAY WOMEN

introduce6 the resolution, and Dr.. Anna Howard Shaw declared that the associa. ton did not sanction the activities of the Congressional union and blamed the union for enormous defeats in Nebraska and South Dakota
 That the association was distinctly op- posed to the union was shown when a resolution introduced by Mrs. T. R. You mans, president of the Wiconsin Woman suffragists, proposing arbitration of the subject, was tabled, 49 to 25. Mrs. Youmans, indignant, accused Dr. shaw, president of the associati tion, with
 steam roller tactics in declining to al- low discussion of the resolution. The alleged action of the Congressional union in opposing political parties which oppose suffrage at Washington furnished the main topic of the day and was con- tinued into an extemporaneous night session, and it was believed will come up again tomorrow.
 Originally the union was a part of the association, but the association no longer recognizes it, except as an organization whose so-called militant methods are re- garded by the association as inimIcai to the best interests of the equal suffrage cause.

with running. You see he had seen
Honker sail down from high up in

right away that Honker had planned
to spend the night in the pond of
Peddy the Beaver. and right away
he had started for Paddy's pond, lip

could run. 1t was long way from

several meetings and a number of heat

wages of this faithful worker could
be increased to meet the minimum

Unusual Need for Agency.

"The committee believes there is un-
usual need this winter for the exist
ence of an agency at Washington
through which democratic thought on
industrial problems can make itself
felt.
"The subject of national preparedness
is to the forefront, and many powerful
influences are at work to create an
enormous military organization and to
increase the prestige of the kind OF
force represented by a large military
establishment. The committee. while
taking no part in the discussion re-
garding the size of the army and navy,
will endeavor to keep to the forefront
certain fundamental principles that
should govern in any program for pre-
paredness. These are
That all munitions, warships and
military supplies should be manufac-
tured as far as possible and as soon as
possible in government plants, except
In cases of emergency.
That the militia system or any new
system of citizen soldiery be organ
lied on a democratic basis, with equal
opportunity for wageearners and those
without means to obtain commissions
on a merit basis, and that the use of
these forces be confined to purposes of
national defense and shall never be
used against workmen on strike.
That healthy. well organized, well
paid industrial force be insisted upon
as a paramount factor in any plan for
national preparedness: that the dan
gers inherent in an unorganized and
underpaid labor force during times of
national danger be kept in mind at all
times, and that the service of the labor
union as the most potent force for
training immigrants in collective ac
ton and enlisting them as responsible,
capable and loyal citizens be empha-
sized at all appropriate times.
