In a resolution submitted by VIII
liam R. Nagel at the meeting Of the
association last night the efforts of
the Board of Trade to secure repre-
sentation in Congress and in the
Electoral College for the District of
Columbia were heartily approved. An
amendment to the effect that the
women of Washington be given equal
suffrage rights with the men was Of
fered by John T. Meany and unani-
mously accepted by the association.
The movement for a suffrage parade
to the Capitol suggested at the last
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce

ton was taken on the matter.
H. c. Culbertson, of the food ad-
mInistration, addressed the associa-
ton, urging the conservation OF food
as a means of winning the war. Mem
bers of the association are taking
part in the pledge-card campaign for
food saving which begins today.

Association in its drive to lessen the
numbers of street accidents in Wash
ington was asked by G. A. Lyon and
was warmly rendered by the associa-
ton.
