ed. Then queer thing happened The
dc legates began to desert the de bate
upon the league of nations. Hundreds
of vacant chairs were evident in the
floor of the house where the dele
gates sat. AS the debate upon the
league began, clearly the crowd and
the delegates also, felt that the debate
upon the Klan was to be the big show.
The convention and the crowd were true
to the form they had displayed for
a week. They were thinking emotion
ally of the Klan and of nothing else.
The liberal platform, the league of
nations. the whole business of nam
ing the candidates of the Democratic
party were matters of secondary in
terest to that of the religious liberty.
Time will show whether this attitude
in New York is the national attitude.
But at sundown Saturday night it
appeared that religion was to be an
issue in American politics this year.

WOMEN AT CONVENTION
BY MAXINE DAVIS.

NEW YORK, June 2S-Once more
women are thrust into their ancient
places as watchers on certain ca
lamity. At this Democratic national
convention they are observing their
menfolk engaged in their usual habits
of war and destruction.
Woman delegates who have come
to observe the Democratic gather
ing are wringing their hands help
lesSly at the failure of the resolu-
tions committee to insert some def
mite child labor plank into the plat
form and their inability to make a
fight for it from the floor.
The bitter attention accorded the
Klan plank has made it practically
impossible for the women to obtain
recognition or gain any support on
what they consider the infinitely
more important child labor prob EN-.
involving as it does the welfare of
one or two coming generations.
Child Labor Plank.
The Republican platform contains
support for child labor legislation.
Both houses of Congress have passed
the resolutions for a child labor
amendment to the Constitution. The
Democratic platform contained a
plank in its favor in 1920.
Woman leaders and labor leaders
who have nursed legislation through
its brief existence as a congressional
statute and smoothed the way for its
passage through this Congress were
dumfounded by the action of the reso-
lutions committee. They gathered iE
numbers at the door of the commit
tee, while Mrs. Pattie Ruffner Jacobs
of Birmingham. representing the
an Inclusion of the idea. With her
were Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt. Mrs.
Minnie Fisher Cunnir CHAM of Wash
ington. Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, Mrs
Kate Trenholm Abrams of Washing
ton and many other prominent women.
Even Bryan Snaps.
So strained was the committee that
even the usually polite William Jen-
IF the women don't like the plat
form they needn't vote for it. It's a
good platform"
All day Saturday the women held
conferences to decide the advisability
of carrying the fight to the floor of
tone of the conclave when the dele
gates gathered, however, that they
concluded nothing would be gained
by bringing it up unless the situation
eased. They feared that the conven-
tion. weary with heat and the Klan
discussion, would hurt the measure by
refusing to take affirmative action.
Astute woman politicians, recogniz-
ing that women's interest is more
sentimental than partisan, fear that
this will ALLEVIATE many Democratic
women in November, as we'll as drive
much of the independent feminine
vote into the ranks of the G. o. P.
