and two or three less important or
ganizations of women.
In describing, as did, the history
of the legislation, it was not my pur-
pose to present my own opinion on
the merits or dement's of the measure
as such, for that did not seem to me
then, nor does 1t now, the main issue.
I wished merely to establish that 1t
was not haSty legislation and that 1t
had the mass of the women affected
behind it. Unless I totally misread
the courts majority argument, there
is nothing whatever in it to indicate,
as David Lawrence suggests, that had
the New York State law had univer-
sal application to men as well as
women, 1t would have been sustained.
The argument that 1t was diScrimi-
natory for women was only incidental
and additional to the main thesis,
which was that Legislative abridge-
ment of freedom of contract can only
be justified by the existence OF spe-
cial circumstances No one in the
labor movement, no one concerned
with social legislation with whom I
have been able to talk, believes that
the fact that the law was confined
to women is what defeated it.
Cold Comfort in Decision.
And. it seems to me, the majority
argument must furnish cold comfort
to the femininstS who take the in
transigeant position that any special
legislation for women is to be con-
demned, because the justices specif1-
cally supported the cconstitutionality Of
legislation covering special hours and
working conditions for women, on the
ground of the welfare of the race. It
would be interesting to know whether
measures taken in some States barring
married women from certain positions,
such as teaching school, would be up
held as constitutional, and II there
is a chance that they would not be,
1t would be worth all the energies of
the Woman's Party to get them tested,
because this is genuinely discrimina-
tory legislation, against which ] have
publicly gone on record.
AS one who has stood all her adult
life for fundamental equality for men
and women, the question is a very nice
one for me, and the arguments on both
sides are worth hearing. The Women's
Party is convinced that all special leg
islation for women will eventually mill
tate against them as workers. They
argue that in all fields women must
compete on precisely the same grounds
and under precisely the same condi-
tions as men. They wish to see this
principal firmly and universally estab-
lished and are working for a constitu-
tional amendment which they think
will do it.
Now, it seems to me that the question
is not theoretical but empirical, and
that the right answer to it lies in the

Paul e. Lesh, counsel for the Col
laday delegates, told the committee
that the Colladay faction had elected
% out OF the 43 precinct delegates, a
majority. But when Wells was turned
down and Aaron Russell. jr., seated
in his place as precinct delegate,
the Rover group gained the ascend
ancy.
Under the practice followed by the
Republicans in the District of Co.
lumbia, 43 delegates are elected in the
precincts or districts. These precinct
delegates in turn elect 43 delegates
at large and the S6 delegates so
chosen constitute the State Central
Committee of the District and also
the State convention for the purpose
of electing delegates to the Republican
National Convention and of nominat-
ing the national committeeman and
the national committeewoman.
The Colladay faction put forward
a slate. of 43 delegates at large, and
so did the Rover faction. When Wells
had been thrown out and Russell
given his place, the Rover faction
elected its delegates at large, giving
it entire control of the State con-
vention.
Colladay and his group withdrew
from the State convention dominated
by the Rover group and held a con-
