Plans are now being made by the
largest clothing manufacturers in the
country for complete reconstruction of
their businesses along lines to conform
with the new standard of costs of all
materials which enter into the making
of men IS garments. These new cost
standards will, in the majority of in
stances, take effect with the fall sea
sons lines, according to statements
made by the represe ntative factors in
mems apparel industry.
Up to the present time, manufactur-
ers of prominence have worked on
basis of cost of supplies they have had
in stock long before the increased prices
took effect with the result that no mate
rial changes have been apparent in the
prices charged for their products in
comparison with former seasons.
Some idea of the radical change in
the manufacturing cost of clothing can
be obtained from the following figures
representative of the best merchandise
in every instance. The table shows the
increased cost to the manufacturer of
items which enter into his business,
compared with prices of the same goods

thing. Any appeal to sex influence
in the gaining of our purpose, is
unworthy Of any woman. Such a
method appeals to the base, the
hypocritical, that is in all of us.
It is good thing, rather, to carry
into our lives the resolution not to
be indirect in anything.
cat this present time because Of
broken pledges on the part of
Germany, we find ourselves on the
verge Of war. Should war come
there is not a woman in this coun-
try into whose pocket the hand Of
the government isn't going to GO.
To-day we are making history.
You, gentlemen, cannot give SUI
frage; it is for you to pass the bill,
and live up to your words of honor.
1t then rests with the next Legis-
lature whether or not we shall
have our political enfranchise-
ment.
eve hear the objection that the
granting of suffrage to women in
Delaware would give over eight
thousand and few hundred negro
women the right to vote. Con-
trasted to this there are more than
$4,000 white women. According to
the qualifications asked $500 color
ed women would lose their vote,
against 200 white women. These
| figures are based on the census of
1910; later figures would be even
more emphatic. The real fact is,
the balance of power in Delaware
today lies in the hands of two
thousand negro men. All we ask
gentlement, is square deal under
the government. We want to bring
the point of view of the mother
into the law. Men cannot put into
law the point Of view of women.
AS to the fitness Of those who seek
the electorate, never in the history
of the world has body so splend-
idly prepared asked for the vote as
the women of today. Every argn-
ment that is brought against suf-
frage for women is already dusty
with age, because it has been used
through the ages against manhood
suffrage. Have you ever stopped
to think, gentlemen, which is the
more law-respecting and law
abiding part Of our population ?
Look at our prisons! Ninety per
cent Of their inmates are men.
Look at our churches! Ninety per
cent of the regular attendance is
made up of women. Are you afraid
to grant these people the elector-
ate?

ings all that it should be. You
say woman has nothing to do with
law? Law surrounds us on every
hand. If a man and woman mar
ry, law in the shape of marriage
certificate, enters into it; should
the new family build, they must
first secure a building permit;
should children be born there is
first birth certificate, and then
sometimes death certificate. The
family life is safe-guarded or
otherwise by the efficiency of pure
food laws; at school, the law, rep
resented by the truant officer,
regulates the comings and goings
of the mothers child. The law
says how long the child shall stay
there. what books he shall use.
when he shall be vaccinated. And
right here" The speaker said,
comes up the question of school
ing. What is schooling but the fit
ting for citizenship of the men and
women of this country? All are
inspired by the same ambitions,
animated by the same passions; all
go through school, guided 80 per
cent Of the time, by women-a dis
enfranchised class making an en-
franchised class. After a few
years, however, man turns to wo-
man: we have both learned all
we can; now I'll make the laws.
And because of the injustice of
this, women today are in the
trenches, fighting, but fighting
with one weapon only-the weapon
of education.
eve are told" Mrs. Hilles con-
tinued, "that many women would
not vote. We assume that the SER
ious and conscientious women will
vote. A few years ago represen-
tative Of the club women of H.
linois, went to the Legislature to
urge the passage of certain bill
in which the women of Illinois
were interested. But her request
seemed to count for little with the
legislators. 4 represent $4,000
club women she said. You might
just as we'll represent $4,000 white
mice she was told. What we
want is votes We've got to get
behind our interests to accomplish
anything, and get behind officially.

"a woman should not ask mere
justice. A woman can get any
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1917-02-21

Justice is long overdue, gentle
men. Behold the educated Amer
lean woman going out to ask men
who can't even understand word
of English for the right to vote
We were once told, Suffrage is
perhaps right and just, but it is
politically inexpedient.' Ohio the
banner anti-suffrage state in the
Union, has recently granted the
presidential and municipal fran
chise to women, all that they could
grant under the present State con-
stitution. This means that women
will control over lis electoral
votes in the next presidential cleo
ton.
eve know, gentlemen, that the
American woman has more liberty
than any other in the world. We
are sometimes told that suffrage
means free love, the breaking up
of our home life. l should say,
gentlemen, as long as the men per-
nit the Law of Common Consent
to stay upon the statute books,
they can put little weight in such
an argument"
Mrs. Hilles read the letter rec
emily addressed to the Legislature
by the Anti-Suffragists of Della
ware, calling attention to num-
Der of weak statements. Of
course there are women long the
victim of custom, unwilling to give
up certain customs. Many Chinese
women honestly opposed the aboli-
ton of the custome of binding
their girl babies feet. Lincoln
once said, if the iron Of slavery
had sunk so deep that the slave
did not wish to be free, there was
only the more necessity for free
DOM But there is in America a
body of thinking women unwilling
to be classed as aliens and Grim
inals.
81 am a Delaware woman, gen.
tlemen," Mrs. Hilles concluded,
and l don't want to ask other than
Delaware men to grant me the
right of suffrage"
Miss Anna McCue, who followed
Mrs. Hilles, presented the factory
iris viewpoint, and urged that the
protection of the ballot be granted
the 100000 women in America
without homes. "There is a class
of women" she said, "'who have so
many privileges they need no
rights. ] urge those, for the sake
of the rest of us, to give up some
of their privileges and help us get
some rights"

A unanimity of opinion prevails that

based on the new standard of costs of
raw materials, will range from So to So

stances, manufacturers who have start

with $3.50, and so on through the en-
