WOMEN ARE OPPOSED TO
BLANKET LEGISLATION
All Of Them Do Not Favor Sexes
on Equal Footing Before
the Law.

Washington, Feb. 25.--Al is not
harmony in the women's movement In
politics. The drive OF Miss Alice Paul
and her militant cohorts to put the
sexes on equal footing before the law
In every State Is meeting with re-
sistance from tho women themselves.
and here Is how II comes about. The
National Women's Trades Union
League. composed OF women trade
unlonists OF many occupations, has
discovered that the proposed blanket
amendment to the Constitution OF the
United States, abolishing sex In
eoualities. and tho corresponding blan-
ket legislation now being proposed In
nine State Legislatures, by the Alice
Paul organization. while II would place
the sexes on common footing, would
deprive women workers OF special
privileges which they have fought for
and obtained In many States and To-
calities. Representatives OF the Wo-
mems Trade Union League have talk
cd the matter over with Miss Alice
Paul OF the National woman's Party,
but they have been unable TO compose
their differences. The remnants of the
old militant suffrage crowd conceive
II to be their prime object fn life
henceforth to battle for the adoption of
their amendment aimed at sex In
equalities. They dedicated themselves
to this task, the campaign being di-
rected by General Alice Paul from
the old Washington mansion. i'm
rediately opposite the national capitol.
which WAS purchased at a cost of
Sl46 GOO. through a gift of that amount
from Mrs. o. ii. p. Belmont. leading
financial hacker Of the Woman's Party
for many years. This mansion was
built in 1914 to house Congress. after
the burning OF the capitol by the Brit
lsh. From il is directed a steady
stream OF propaganda into the state
on the equal rights" question. The
women admit that IT is slow business,
but so was the suffrage ratification
fight slow at the outset, they pointed
out.
The first actual split in the women s
movement is forecast in an amend
ment from the National Women s
Trade Union League that an all-day
conference of women trade unionists
from all sections has been called for
Washington tomorrow.
The danger TO women's labor laws
which is believed to be involved in
the proposed blanket equal rights
amendment. will be the principal OBJ
ject of the conference, II is announced.
The women workers have discovered
that special privileges granted them
in some States and in certain cities
mil lx holt ,aA Il
amendment cuts both ways. Some of
the inequalities" OF the male sex
will be removed. For instance, in the
District Of Columbia, It is unlawful TO
work woman more than eight hours
in any vocation, although there is no
limit prescribed for the males. In
many cities local ordinances grant
certain concessions to the female
workers. All these would so under
the new amendment.
