to Let Women Serve as Proxies
for Husbands.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 14.-Wives of
trade unionists should be invited to at
tend meetings of their husbands
union whenever questions of policy
are to be discussed, in the opinion of
the executive committee of the Liver
pool Amalgamated Building Trades
Union, which has adopted a recon-
mendation to this effect. Miss Flor
ence Underwood, secretary Of the
Women's Freedom League, probably
was not entirely serious, however,
when she recently advanced the idea
of going a step further, suggesting
that the wives attend as proxies for
their husbands, for she added:
'HuSbandS could then stop at home
and mind their children while wives
attended the meetings.
The Liverpool Unions idea struck
Miss Ellen Wilkinson, labor member
of the House of Commons, as a good
one.
"If the wives heard questions of
policy being discussed" she remarked.

Resolution Passed by Woman's
Club
Whereas, throughout the civilized
world, Christmas Day, December the
s5th, is generally observed as hol-
day by the suspension of all business,
and,
Whereas, this day comes this year
IN Saturday, thereby furnishing an
apparent excuse to some for keep
ing their business open on that day,
Therefore, it is resolved, that we,

urge and insist upon all of our bust
ness men and industrial enterprises to
business and to observe the
day in a befitting manner.
