Conf NT
Is Developed in Woman SUI
frage Cause by Existence of
Two Organizations.
~ Aaaae1Arrn pnrss,

CHICAGO, June The existence
of two national organizations working
for women's suffrage has developed
conflict within the cause according to
Mrs. Stanley Mccormick. Of New
York; who criticised the suffrage or
2aniZation known a sthe Congresslon-
al Union in an address at the mid
year conference: OF suffrage leaders IN
this city today
Mrs. Mccormick. vice president of
the American Women Suffrage Assoc
iation, said:
eFor the first time since 1889 there
are two national organizations work
ing for suffrage. One is the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton. organized for state work. In all
OF the non-sufrage states and for fed
eral work In fortvoue OF the forty
eight states The second, made up OF
4 comparatively small group OF WON
en-. is known as the Congressional
Union. This new association proposes
to organize within the states. in spite
Of the already existing state orsanlza-
tons. not to obtain suffrage within
the states but merely to bring pres
sure to bear on Congress for the pas
sage of the Anthony amendment This
is not merely duplication of effort
but in many ways a conflict. for the
Congressional Union differs from the
national association in fundamental
characterictics.
ITO begin with, 1t IS not an elective
body Its officers are Self-appotnted
and self-perpetuated Secondly, its
policy Is avowedly militant, and final
". it has abandoned the old policy
OF non-partisanship and has declared
war on the Democratic party
The question OF whether the state
associations wish to encourage or DIS
courage the activities of the Congress
sfonal Union and the establishment Of
its branches in the different states Is
vital point. for if they wish to en-
courage them change IN the >funda-
mental policies which have Tor many

The num5er Ct suffrage states has.
grown from four 10 twelve in the last

from contempt to serious interest and:
respect. It has given us majority

minority vote in the House. Only the
addition of a few more Suffrage states
will be needed. in my opinion, TO bring
us the necessary two-thirds vote in
Congress for the submission OF the
nation-wide suffrage amendment.
Therefore. II We want favorable
action by Congress, the most vitality

KEoKUK
PASSES ALL TESTS
White Collar Line Boat 10 Subjected
to Severe Trial, but Comes
THROUGH with Clean Slate.

The steamer Keokuk, Of the White
Collar line, was subjected to its an
NAL government inspection in the
mort at Quincy Wednesday afternoon.
The inspection was in charge of Cap
tains Downs and Bower of the gov
eminent inspection service, with head
quarters in st. Louis. They put the
nacket to severe test, which it stood
very well, according to decision
that the inspectors made before the
boat was allowed to depart on It's
way up the river.
The test was the severest 1t has
undergone for number Of years,
owing. 1t is thought. to the recent
Eastiand disaster in Chicago. The
Chicago tragedy caused considerable
criticism against the government IN
snectfon service, and the inspectors
evidently are anxious that no more
criticism will be necessary in the fu'
ture. The boilers were examined,
note was taken of the number OF life
belts, life boats and fire apparatus.
The crew was also required to give
fire drill for the benefit of the In.
spectors. No stability test, however,
was made.
