Suffrage Passes
Halfway Mark
California and Maine Run
the Number of Lesisla-
tnres Approving the
Measure Up to Nineteen

XA7oMAS SUFFRAGE has
w passed the halfway mark in
ratification. California in
extra session called for the ratifica-
ticn Of the Federal suffrage amend
mcnt and passed the measure last
week. Maine ratified a few days
later, making nineteen states that
have approved the amendment.
The passage Of thc measure by the
California Legislature was expected.

rage state, the ratification was taken
for granted. The Maine Legislature
granted Presidential suffrage TO
women last winter. The ratification

dicted when United States Senator
Hale announced last spring that he
would change his vote. Senator
Hale was one Of the Republican Sen
ators who voted against the measure
in the Senate Of the 65th CONGRESS.
He voted for it when it came up in
the Goth.
1t has been announced that Colo
rado and Idaho would hold extra
Legislative sessions this month to
vote upon the suffrage amendment
The list Of state legislatures that
have ratified stands, up to date;
Wisconsin, Michigan, Kansas,

vania, Massachusetts, Texas, Iowa,

r UST what did the woman vote"
~ accomplish?
1t was hard question for
the political sleuths to answer when
they got together in the midst Of
their newspaper clippings after cleo
ton in this the second year OF
woman suffrage in New York State.
They tried to figure out what in
fluence had directed the woman
vote and what it had accomplished.
and they found themselves in a
tumble of contradictory statements
that seemed to prove nothing be-
yond the fact that the women had
voted. All agree, too, even the
Eoariest of ward leaders. that the
women voted intelligently. All
agree they have a tendency to split
The ticket and that this makes for
an Embossed election"
But that specter of the woman
vote" the third party the sex
war in politics" Where were the
spooks of yesterday? The votes
have blown them all away.

Votes Alone

The resolution on the maximum
line 4 worker should labor pro-
vided for the eight-hour day, the
forty-four-hou week, with half
hour rest period in each eight-hour
shift and the continuous day and a
half weekly holiday. One vote was
9olled against this principle. Julia
O'Connor, a member of the Ameri-
can delegation and head of the Tele-
phone Operators Union, voted
against the continuous weekly holi-
day. She did not believe that GER
tain industries could grant this to
Iheir workers and maintain efficient
standards Of public service. BY the
time the men delegates to the labor
conference were ready to talk about
the eight-hour day, the women's res
olution was before them.
4 resolution was passed asking
the men to amend the membership
regulations for future meetings of
;he International Labor Conference
so that women might be seated as
fully accredited participants. Topics
Bearing on the employment Of
women in industries which engender
poisons and the adoption of stand
ards for maternity benefits were
reached in the first weeks gather
lngs, but did not harvest formal
resolutions until later. Julia Lath-
rop, chief OF the Childrens Bureau,

delegation, having been named tenn

The Skepticism of
New York

"To-day the whole country admits
advantage in prohibition. New York
City, Of course, is different" she
smiled. "New York insists on being
convinced, and that is our work from
now on. This city may be skeptical
about the lasting qualities of prohi-
bition, but not one Of rs has any
doubts on that score.
And when we have convinced

tails of the watch party. She hopes
to announce several large gifts of
money for the Million Dollar Jubilee
Fund, Of which New York is to raise
$4,000. The money will be spent
to campaign for worldwide prohibi-

"The jubilee will mark the sue
cessful close of half century's war
on the liquor traffic by the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. Some
OF the pioneer workers are dead. but
their work is carried on by women
whose lives are consecrated to the
cause of prohibition" said DR.
Boole. These pioneers had no pop
ular tides of favor to carry them
along, such as the war workers Of
the present day had; they were not
gloritied or praised or even respected
by the great mass Of people. If they
were not ignored, or smiled at pat
ronizingly, they were ridiculed and
fought by the liquor interests.
