nv. Y. CONGRESSMAN
FOR THEM, SUFFS SAY
All but Seven in Delegation
Claimed for Amendment.
Special Despatch TO THE suS.


WASHINGTON. April g.. SUITS are
counting on all except seven of the New
York delegation in the House to support
tho amendment extending the vote tC
women. These four men of the coming
Congress-O' Connell, Reed. Crowther and
MacCrate-are for the amendment, al
though headquarters OF the National
Woman's party here admit that II Il
only a guess SO far as Mr.. MacCrate IL
concerned.
The sun lobbyists are counting upor
Representative Riordan, too, although
he has consistently opposed suffrage ir
the past. Another former foe upor
" hom tho SUNS are counting, although
he has said nothing 10 justify the belief
Is Representative Gould.
From a great many New York mem
bers Of Congress, however, the sun work
ers have out and out pledges OF support
they said. In this class are McGregor
Mead, Hill, Ganley, Houghton. Pell
Johnston and Donovan. They quoted
communications which have been re.
ceived from these men to prove theil
claims
The suff amendment passed the LAS
House without a great deal of difficulty
and the adoption of the amendment by
a two-thirds vote in the next House has
long been a foregone conclusion. The
whole trouble has been and still is the
Senate, and It is there the women work
ers for the vote admit that their strong.
est efforts must be concentrated.
Nobody really knows just where the
Senate does stand. claims varying from
a gain of two votes over the last Sen
ate, where the amendment failed by g
narrow margin. to a loss of two votes.

SWEET HECKLED ON
LOWEST WAGE BILL
Women's ConferenceA Asks Him
Why He Prefers Sham Act
of Massachusetts,.

An open letter OF protest has been
sent to Speaker Thaddeus C. Sweet pro-
testing against the substitution OF the
Massachusetts, minimum wage bill for
the measure proposed and backed by
women's Legislative Conference. The
letter is signed on behalf of the National
Consumers League by Mrs Florence
Kelley. general secretary. After arguing
that the substitution OF the Massachu-
sets plan Is a sham and calculated to
befool the voters and likely to result In
strikes and industrial unrest throughout
the country and that New York States
labor laws were copied by other States.
the letter demands an answer from
Speaker Sweet to the following six ques-
tons:
why. when the cost of living Is the
highest known, when women's wages are
falling and men are returning to claim
their former places. do you recommend
the passage of a notorious sham bill,
calculated to befool the voters and to
leave the women wage workers as poor
as they are to-day?
''Why do you. by substituting tho
Massachusetts, minimum wage bill for
bill Endorsed by the Women's Labor
Legislative Conference list yourself with
Senator Brown as an enemy OF women
and children who work for their living?
I'm 1913, when the Massachusetts, bill
was passed, II was an experiment and a
compromise. After six years It Is every
where known to have merely the value
Of a rushlight. 1t reveals from time TO
time where wages are at their worst
but 1t does not effectively improve them
for It has no compulsory features. II
does nothing for the victims of the
meanest and the most incompetent en-
ployers. To introduce IL in any State at
this late day Is to ny in the face OF
experience.
"Why then do you block the bill which
has been most carefully drafted in the
light of six years experience and will
when enacted. insure improvement for
the worst paid OF all?
why do you take upon yourself the
moral and the political responsibility for
the strikes in which women will be com.
PEELED to join in order to live?
as this good time 10 encourage
strikes?
why do you prefer strikes to passing
honest labor laws%

NEED AID FOR FOUNDLINGs.
Sisters of Charity Make First APP
peal to Public.

Although this is the golden jubilee
year OF the New York Founding
Hospital at 175 East Sixty-eighth street

Charity. no appeal has been made until
the present time for public assistance.
More than 10000 foundlings have been
cared for. More than 5000 children
are now under the sisters care. But
the hospital must have money from

necessary supplies has increased from
so TO 800 per cent.
There Is needed Immediately $3.50. 900
and the advisory committee of the hos
pital, under the craftsmanship OF Henry
Heide. announced yesterday that be-
ginning to-day a special campaign will
be conducted to raise that sum. Mr..
Heide said yesterday: These good
sisters have worked night and day for
fifty years for the uplift OF humanity
They now md themselves at a stage
in their beautiful work where they must
either close the hospital or get n new
start. In this crisis New York will
surely support them"

HEALTH INSURANCE
BILL IS AMENDED
Objectionable Features Said
to Have Been Removed.
spccidi Despatch 10 The srS.


ALBANY, April 6.--Recent amendments
to the Davenport-Donoinie health insur-
ance bill have removed practically the
last objection raised by physicians
against the measure, and the objections
of the Christian Scientists have also been
met by the inclusion of a conscientious
DIRECTORS clause, according to a state
ment yesterday from Miss Grace Phelps
Of the Womens joint Legislative Con-
ference.
"a number OF perfectly reasonable re-
quests were made by many doctors Of
the State following the health insurance
hearing March 10. These requests have
been met by Senator Davenport and Mr..
Donohue In new amendments" said Miss
Phelps. THE fees for medical and sur
gical care will be at least the amount
indicated in a schedule prepared by the
County Medical Society and approved by
the Industrial Commission. An arbitra-
ton board has also been provided for,
including two doctors. one employer. one
employee and one representative of the
public. which may decide all appeals.
The general supervision of the health
insurance funds will be under a bureau
of the Industrial Commission headed by
a physician. These provisions remove
any possibility of contract medicine and
| insure to the doctors adequate remun-
Grafton for their services and safeguard
| the dignity of the profession

RELIGION FACES NEW
TEST, SAYS ARABBI
Must Deal More With Earth
Below Than Heaven Above,
He Contends.

CINCINNATI, April 6-"Religion Of the
the earth below than the heaven above
1t will have less bearing upon theology
and more upon actual life" said Rabbi
Horace j. Wolf, Rochester, N. Y, in an
ference Of American Rabbis here to-day.
''The social question is the biggest
concern which has developed from the
war" he continued. "A new social
order is being created in which 1t will be
necessary for religion to take an active
part so as to form 1t along lines con-
curing with the best interests of life.
I'm, this new social order, injustices
and special privileges. such as have
proved pernicious to the world in the
past, will be obliterated. Every person
will be entitled to the best gifts of life.
organized religions must take sides
in the struggle between vested interests
and its exploited victims. 1t has a def
mite role In the contest between the
forces Of reaction which oppose thorough
reconstruction, and the hosts that de-
mand that the old pre-war abuses be
ended forever. In this war after the
war. organized religion cannot remain
neutral.
Organized religion must respond TO
the challenge of the new social con-
science by freeing itself of the old &C.
cusation that It Is a class institution.
Religion in the future must deal with
life upon the world. 1t must appreciate
that golden instincts cannot arise from
leaden lives. that roses cannot grow
from muck heaps, that mean cannot be
Ill Al.nfr
ment makes It easier to be good and
harder to be bad.
1.-THE new religion demands that men
OF all religions forget the things that
have divided them In the past, and that
stress be placed upon the one paramount
concern which Is common to all people
namely. the establishment Of a genuine
social Justice. Religions may be many
but in this sense religions must be one.
