BATTLE over PEACE
Congressional c Union and Woman's
Party Meet Without Eishtins.

The combined conventions of the Con-
gressional Union for Woman Suffrage
and the National Woman's Party made
suffrage history here yesterday at a mile
a-minute rate. In addition to merging
the two fighting organizations into one
huge political machine that Is destined
to demolish the last walls of opposition
TO the passage of the federal suffrage
amendment. the delegates passed resolu-
tions pledging the new organization to
work solely for suffrage and never 20
cease working until the political en-
franchisement OF woman has been ac-
Complished.

militarists in the militant group of suf-

had of diverting the services of the new
ly-formed National Woman's Party from
suffrage work when she said:

loyalty TO our government. But we are
an organization OF American women, and
to suggest the necessity of any such
pledge reflects upon our integrity and
patriotism.

to this country from the warning cUun =

American woman. and that is In time

duty is the duty of citizenship. We
