THE LEGISLATURE MEETS

Tuesday will see the opening of the adjourned session of the legisla- ture. Several measures of deepest interest to the women voters will be presented, notably the bill abolishing the convict lease system, and the one providing for the S-hour day and the 4S-hour week for women in in dustry in Alabama. The latter ap- plies only to women in factories, work shops and department stores and does not touch agricultural or domestic operations. such as restau- rants.
 The whole state is very much aroused on the convict lease system. and a most determined effort will be made in the legislature to have 1t abolished at an early and definite date during the present administra- tion, so that there may be no fur ther buck passing" The club women and all other women's or ganizations are working hard, cir culating petitions and sending dele- gations to interview the legislators. Petitions will be given out at the league meeting on Tuesday. The fight Is attracting a great deal of national publicity. Other states, who have long since done away with that relic of barbarism'" are eagerly watching Alabama's struggle to rid herself of this dark Incubus, and to enter the ranks of her 47 sister states who refuse to stoop to such practice as leasing out their con- victed criminals for hire.
