WOMEN PROTEST
EQUAL RIGHTS BILL
Miss McNaIIy Appears Before
Gov. Richie to Oppose
Blanket Measure.

Miss Gertrude McNally of this city
today presented to Gov. Richie at
Annapolis. Md. protest against the
HaH-Norris blanket bill" for equal
rights, on the ground that it is harm
full to working women because it de-
stroys laws which protect them.
Miss Mentally presented resolutions
adopted unanimously by the Maryland
State Federation of Labor convention
at Baltimore. protesting against the
bill, and called attention TO the dec
laration of the recent national con-
terence of trade union women op-
posing the legislation.
Ten-Hour Law Jeopardixed.
Miss McNally told the governor that
organized working women through
various official channels have regis
tered their protest against blanket
legislation such as the Hall-NorriS
Dill. because there is no true eco
nomic equality secured for working
women under the language of such
bills. On the contrary. Maryland
ten-hour law for wage-earning wom-
en- and the law providing seats in
stores will be jeopardized, because
the Hall-Norris bill proposes to put
men and women upon an exactly equal
footing before the law. even though
that be to level standards downward.
The labor. laws for women would be
nuliif1ed, or It least endangered, be-
cause they are laws for women only,
and not for men. and future legisla-
ton for better industrial standards
will be retarded.
1T is true that the bill contains a
clause which its proponents insist will
safeguard the women's labor laws But
TINS clause merely conceals the joker in
the bill. 1t calls for construction of
the statutes where the masculine gen.
der is used to include the feminine gen.
Or. unless such construction will deny
to females the special protection and
privilege which they now enjoy for
the general welfare. The laws we are
concerned about deal with the feminine
gnder' only-therefore the safeguard
ing clause simply does not touch them.
Held Adverse to Labor.
AS TO leaving construction and in
depreciation of the intent and purpose
be made by the courts. as the bill pro-
poses. Maryland attorneys tell us that
is unconstitutional, and in any event
We know by experience that the average
courts Interpretation Of the term free
dom of contract is adverse to labor.
we protest against blanket leglSla-
ton OF this character because there is
another and safe way to obtain the
benefits the Hall-Norris bill ostensibly
seeks. We advocate separate. specific
laws for political rights. equal guardian
,slip. equal property rights. and all the
forms of equality which We desire for
women: But we want such legislation
carefully and intelligently framed, to
avoid injury to any and all groups of
women. as well as to benefit some.
Why ligislate by dangerous methods
where there are safe methods"

see Mrs. Baggett get in trouble. Judge
Moncure said he agreed with Mr.. Ca
ton and told him he would see Mrs.

judge said. he met Mrs. Baggett and
told her about the report he had heard
and he added that he told Mrs. Bag

Young People Have
Aided Greatly in
Red Cross Roll Call

Red Cross workers called Sunday
afternoon at practically every home in
Augusta to obtain memberships for
1923. but reports of the results Of their
efforts have not yet come in.
Owing to the fact that the day was
fair it is quite probable there were
many who were not at home, and in
that case or if for any other reason
the worker missed anyone, the COM
mittce would appreciate 1t if they
would mail their membership to the
Office, 3lS Water street, or if they pre-
fer to elcphonc-20-and leave their
name ana address, a worker will call.

CONTINUE CASES
OF COUPLE HELD
ON LIQUOR CHARGE

Two cases of illegal possession
were heard Saturday morning at the
Augusta Municipal court before
Judge Robert A.. Cony. Both were
the results OF little trip which was
taken by Sheriff HARDWOOD and De-
p,ties to North Vassalboro.
julius Rock was the first man ar
raigned. pleading not guilty to charge
of illegal possession with intent to
sell. Testimony by Sheriff Harwood
was to the effect that he entered the
Rock house, after the deputies had
gone in and that they found three
or four men in room and upon the
table, three or four empty glasses.
In another room there was a key of
beer on tap.
Rock. through John Papallas, Jr.,
who acted as interpreter. stated that
he worked at a hard job in the mill
and that the beer was made by his
wife for him and the family as he
liked to have some to drink after
working all da:. He said that they
also had given some to some Of the
neighbors who CHANGED to call at the
house.
Decision In this case was reserved
until hearing of the case Of John
| Papallas, Jr., who was held on the
same complaint. In the Papallas
home the Sheriff testified that they
had found a 16-gallon keg partly
! full of beer. Papallas was at that time
at the Rock house, his wife and child
| being alone in the house. He said
that he had received complaints in
| both of these cases.
/ Papallas testified through his son
that the liquor was for their own use
in the home and that they had not
sold any Of It..
Judge Cony said that he believed
! that they were telling the truth, and
! that they were net the real offenders
| in that place. Because of this he con-
tinued the case from day to day,
holding the men in the sum Of $500,
| further disposition of the case to be
| left to the sheriff who might say
| if he believes that the matter be
! taken up at the January term of the
| Superior court. He advised the men,
however. to cease giving the liquor
! to friends as it was botherinG the
| people of the town.
