STATE WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE ASSOC.
 PRODS THIS CITY
Demands Abolition of SO-CalI- ed''Segregated Vice" In
 Bridgeport.
ADOPTED
 BY UNANIMOUS VOTE
DepIore Conditions FIourishinq Under Local Admin
 iStratiOn.

At the closing session of the Con- necticut Woman Suffrage association $ annual convention yesterday afternoon in Hartford, the delegates there. from all parts of Connecticut, adopted a resolution demanding the abolition of Bridgeport so-ca1led segregated vice districts
 What was considered a severe ar raignment of the system that has been allowed to flourish under the admins tration of Mayor Wilson was thought worthy of the attention of the women of the whole state yesterday at the meeting and in document introduced by Mrs. M. Tosean Bennett, treasurer of the association and chairman of the committee on resolutions, the as sociation very emphaticaI1y showed it's opinion of the conditions here.
 The session was prolonged an hour especially for this and some minor resoltions. The members of the con Vention unanimously adopted the res olution.
 It was explained that such action is desirable now more than ever because Bridgeport is growing and many per sons are coming to this city from oth- CT places.
 Mrs. Thomas N. Hepburn, president, opened the meeting with an address in which she said that she desired to re- mind those present of what had hap pened in the last session NOf the 1egis- lature, and said that Connecticut was behind other states in the matter of legislation for the improvement of so- cial conditions She gave a list of bills which failed to pass at the ses- sion, among them the abatement and injunction law flor suppressing and regulating the social evil,'' the bili raising the age of consent the bill to shorten the hours of working women, the woman's reformatory bill, and the teachers pension bill.
 She said that one-fifth of the women in Aonnetaicut factories are paid less than a living wage She said that al- though the appropriation for a wo- mans reforn1atory had been denied, one had been made the same day for the Troop B armory in west Hartford. "a place for wealthy young men to ride around on horseback and feel something like soldiers" She drew the conclusion that the defeat of the bills mentioned showed the need of giving women something to say in state affairs.
 Miss Emily Pierson spoke of the campaign work in New Jersey, saying that the suffrage workers there had known for a month before the election that they would lose but had kept on for the sake of the other campaign states.
