WOMEN FEAR
FULL EQUALITY
National League Officers Think
Plan Would Cost Sex Some
Privileges.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT ISSUED
Hartman of Uniform Laws Committee
OF National Organization in Doubt
as to Benefits to Be Derived
by Movement.

Chicago, Sept. IA warning that
all protective legislation for women
might be swept away if the equal
lights amendment proposed by the
national woman's party is added to
che federal Constitution was sent out
by the National League of Women
Voters to all its state organizations.
The letter revealed that the League
of Women Voters, with it's several mill
lion members, believes in separate
state action in the removal of politi-
cal, civil and legal discrimination
against women, and not national
amendment. The proposed equal
rights amendment, it was pointed out,
might jeopardize existing laws for
women's eight-hour days and the mini
mum wage.
All Disabilities Removed.
The ''militants' bill of rights as
made public in Washington calls for
a federal law by which mo political,
civil or legal disability or inequality
on account of sex or marriage shall
exist"
Mrs. Catharine Waugh MCCULLOUGH,
chairman of the uniform laws commit
tee of the national organization, made
an official statement in which she said |:
Neither as an individual nor as
chairman of the uniform laws com
mittee Of the National League Of
Women Voters will ever oppose any
movement to bring justice to women.
Whether this proposal is wisely or ac-
curately directed to meet the need or
blunderingly aimed at injustice and
inequality, there is still value In the
publicity secured.
when we recall the suffrage CAM
paign since 1913 and the prohibition
campaign even longer before amend
ments could be secured, we cannot
hope that any federal amendment can
be secured speedily"
Raises Doubts on Legislation.
Calling attention to the. attitude Of
the women of the national league as
expressed last spring at their conven-
ton, to the effect that an amendment
such as the women paralysis" pro-
pose will not cover all the equalities
women want, but instead will include
many things they do not want. Mrs
McCulloch raised the following doubts
concerning the proposed legislation:
''Would it not repeal womens mini
mum wage laws?
'If it gave parents joint guardian
ship of legitimate children, would it
not do the same for Legitimate chill
dren?
would it give married women
working at home any share in the
family's or the husbands income?
as exemption from jury service a
privilege or a disability?
"Is a girls coming of age to con-
yey property or to marry at eighteen
when boy must wait until twenty-one,
an inequality or disability, which
such an amendment would remove?
"Is All eight-hour law for women an
nequalityT

WAUSAU WINS TEN
INNING GAME SUNDAY
FROM OLD RIVALS

What was perhaps the most exciting
game played in Recreation park this
year was staged Sunday when the base
pail teams representing Wausau and
Mosinee met for the second time this
year. During the early part of the
game all luck broke for Mosinee and
required the Lumberjacks to play as
they never have before to hold the
Paparmakers from scoring after they
got men on bases. Wausau had not a
ghost of show to. score until the
sixth inning, when North was caught
at the plate in an attempt to score
from first base on Goodwin's double.
Real Excitement.
The real excitement came in the
tenth when Wlozynski of Stevens
Point, who pitched the game for MOST
nee, got a two-bagger and tried to
score on short hit to left field. He
was retired at the plate and the Vau-
sau fans heaved sigh of relief.
For Wausau Paige, the first man up
in the tenth, singled, took second
when Fahrner, Mosinee catcher.
dropped pitched ball Brandt then
sacrificed Paige to third and Ulrich
got to first on four bad ones and adj
sanced to second on the first ball
pitched. Foug laid down bunt to-
ward first which allowed Paige to
score the only run of the game. Foug
and Wlozynski collided after the lat
ter had fielded the ball and the Most
nee team still believes the score made
on the play should not have counted.
There were 1.724 paid admissions al
the game Sunday.
Play Again Saturday.
BY special arrangement these two
teams will meet again Saturday on the
local grounds with the lineup the same
as last Sunday, according to the mana
gers of both teams and another big
delegation will be here from Mosinee
to root for that team.
The real championship game Of the
year will be played Sunday afternoon
at Recreation park when the Marsh
field team, winners of'the pennant I'm
the Wisconsin Valley league will meet
the Wausau team to decide the cham

BRIDGEPORTS FIRST SUBURBAN DAY IS
 GREAT SUCCESS

sridgeport's first Suburban Day is on and even the weather seemed to be in the conspiracy to make it a success.
 Two Times men who made a round of the shopping district at the noon hour, when a hull could naturally be expected, found abundant, evidence that Suburban Day was a success.
 Some stores of course felt the diff ference more than others but no one of the merchants talked with but what had seen an increase of busi- ness and many had been working up to capacity.
 All seemed optimistic that the afternoon would sec an even greater amount of business done than during inc morning.
 Hardly anyone on the street but what had one or more bundles; some all they could carry.
 If the day goes through to its close as it began and continued until l o'clock it will be singular if Bridge port does not see more suburban days.
