News From Suffrage Headquar-
ters, Hartford.)
The Central War Work Committee
of the Connecticut woman suffrage
association met yesterday at the home
of Mrs. Josepha Whitney, 1873 Bish-
op street, New Haven. 1t was all
day meeting, it's morning session
opening at 1890 a. m. The meeting is
Of importance as the first meeting of
the committee under it's new chair
man-Miss Katherine Ludington of
Lyme. Miss Ludington succeeded to
the Craftsmanship on the resignation
of Miss Ruutz-Rees who found that
the craftsmanship OF the Central Wo-
mans Committee was hardly compa-
tible with the office of the chairman
of the Suffrage Waf Work Commit
tee. The Central Committee is the
Connecticut committee chosen by all
the women's organizations of the
state and working directly under the
women's section Of the Council of
National Defence. Secretary Baker is
the head of the National Council and
DR.. Anna Shaw is chairman of the
National Committee working under
the council.
The most prominent form of war
service activity on the part of the
| Suffrage Committee for the last three
| or four weeks has been the canning
work and canning demonstrations.
The War Work Committee as body
attended the first of the canning
courses given at the Storrs Agricul-
tural College. After having person
ally taken. the course, the members
of the committee were in a position
to recommend strongly to other wo-
1 en- to go to Storrs. An effort was
| n oof OF ocf of
each local suffrage league to attend
the course, and the Central Commit
tee offered to defray the expenses of
one woman in each league if the lea
que were not able to find a woman
who could go without this assistance.
The aim was to find a woman who
could afterwards lead in canning
demonstrations and according to the
reports given at this mornings ses-
sion the plan is working out well. In
l-many Of the towns canning demon
STATIONS have already been held and
I series Of such demonstrations. are
\ planned for the future.
Bridgeport Equal Franchise lea
que was one of the first to arrange
such a course The demonstrations
are held twice a month, and at each
one the attendance is crowded anG
the women show the keenest inter.
est. The Hartford Equal Franchise
league has the advantage of being
; able tol hold it's canning demonstra
tions at Suffrage Headquarters. Miss
Mary Buckley, Chairman of Hartford
County is in charge, and five or si1
of the women who have attended tn,
: course at Storrs have offered thei
help in demonstrating the newes
: methods of canning.

CRISIS REMOVES QUESTIONS.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. A. Laborites view with alarm the war sentiment spread and the interna- tional crisis usurp the public atten- ton to the exclusion of all else. It is likely that the possibility of war will practically render impossible any activity upon the part of the brotherhoods looking towards the establishment of the eight hour day. In the excitement of the present time, labor questions of paramount importance are being lulled to sleep and the radical press and labor journals will have difficult time getting attention for some time to come. It is feared that labor pro- secutions which are many just now, will be pressed with undue severity because of the complex international situation that has arisen and only the socialist publications seem to be taking steps to avert this eventual itV
