REBELLION
URGED BY WOMEN
Peace Party Wants Pupils to
Refuse New Physical
Training.
CALL NEW LAWS 4 CRIME

The New York branch Of the woman's
Peace Party held a conference at 30
Fifth avenue yesterday afternoon TO
combat the state legislation providing
for military training In the public
schools.
ways and means OF repeating these laws.
there grew a suggestion that one OF the
most effective measures that could he
taken would be to foster a rebellion "
school children. The suggestion which
was advanced both by Crystal Eastman,
secretary Of the branch. and Mrs. Amos
Pinchot. was met with cheers. Although
1t was not definitely adopted, the plan
met with 30 much favor hat 1t will come
up for discussion at another conference.
Mrs. Pinchot. speaking of he WEIGH
bill. which provides for compulsory
physical training under supervision or a
special military commission. said that
the hill virtually meant that children rs
young as 16 years old would be COM
PEELED to go through a course OF military
training whether they wanted to or not.
Calls Laws q Crime.
~ consider these laws a crime against
the principles Of free government SAID
Mrs. Pinchot. III no other methods can
be thought OF to cause their repeal. 1t
Is the duty Of all the public school chill
dren TO protest against their enforce
ment. This at least would have the
effect of crystallizAg public sentiment
against the legislation and show how
those Immediately concerned felt on the
question"
"1n our proposed campaign to cause
the repeal OF these Objectionable stat
utes.' said Crystal Eastman. II would
go a step further than Mrs. Trnchot and
suggest that we organize a parade Of
school children carrying banners stating
that they will absolutely refuse to obey
the law regarding military training in
the public schools. Physical training
in schools is all right. but physical train
ing under the direction Of a military
committee Is a disgrace to the State Of
New York n Is carrying the prepared
ness idea beyond all reason. What w..
need is "A sort Of rebellion OF those at
fected by these laws
In the discussion which followed not
n dissenting voice was heard. The only
objection raised was whether such a
demonstration could he carried out on =,
scale large enough to make an impress
sion on the authorities. Committees
were appointed to look into it's practi-
cabillty.
