Congressional Union advocates of wom-
an suffrage who have directed their at
tacks OH Congress in an effort to effect
this reform suffered two setbacks yes'
terday. Spokeswomen OF the suffrage
cause were denied the privilege of ad-
dressing the House, and a resolution was
offered by Representative Byrnes, Of
South Carolina. providing for an inquiry
into the alleged lobbying activities OF
those who are advocating the Susan B.
Anthony constitutional amendment.
The suffragists were in the House gal
leries In force when the request was
made by Representative Nolan. Of CALI
fornia. a Progressive. that Mrs. Sara
Bard Field and Frances Joliffe be given
an opportunity to address the House
Mrs. Field and Miss Joliffe are the suf-
fragists who Journeyed across the con
tinent in an automobile and who. while
en- route prepared a lengthy petition
urging Congress to adopt the Susan Il.
Anthony amendment AS the speaker Is
prohibited under the rules from admit
ting outsiders to the floor Mr.. Nolan suG-
Gested that the House take recess OF
twenty minutes. the time TO he allotted
to Mrs. Field and Miss Joliffe to pre-
sent their case
Up jumped Republican Leader Mann
and Representative Fitzgerald. OF New
York. who indulged in a brief discussion
over the parliamentary situation pre-
cipitated by Mr.. Nolan's request. This
was cut short by Representative Page. of
North Carolina. who asked Mr.. Nolan If
it was his purpose to invite the suf
fraGists TO the floor.
1T is" replied Mr.. Nolan.
Il object shouted Mr.. Page. who
was applauded. Thus came to An end
the well-laid plans OF the suffragists
to discuss the cause from the hoor of
the House.
Byrnes Asks Investigation.
Mr.. Byrnes' resolution proposing an
inquiry into the activities in Washing
ton of the suffragists created good
deal of excitement. 1t was accom-
panied by a caustic statement in
which Mr.. Byrnes severely criticized
mebers OF the Congressional Union
for Woman Suffrage.
The Byrnes resolution provides for a
committe" of five members to deter
mine how the Congressional Union is
spending its money in Washington
Mr.. Byrnes wants to know whether
the $4,000 raised by the union in
Washington last Sunday is to be spent
in influencing members of Congress.
''One of the arguments in favor Of
equal suffrage" said Mr. Byrnes. has
been that II would tend to purify
politics. and among other things stop
the use of money for the purpose of
influencing Legislative bodies and the
electorate. In view of this contention
OF the advocates of equal suffrage il
Is but fair to them to have the House
investigate in order to ascertain
whether or not it is true that more
than $4,000 has been raised for the
purnose Of influencing the action of
Congress upon the woman suffrage
amendment. 1t is hut fair to Congress
to have the public know how this
money is to be spent to influence
pending legislation. IL the money is
to be spent for the purpose of en-
ploying agents to lobby. Congress
ought to know it."
