Shoppers
Planning
Drive
Women's League
To Seek Members
In Fall Campaign.
MEMBERSHIP driy'

A MEMBERSHIP drive will be the
n first event on the fall program
~ Of the Washington League of
4 a Women Shoppers, according
to an announcement Of the president,
Mrs. Mordecai J. Ezekiel. This deci-
sion was reached at q meeting Of the
Executive Board last week.
DR.. and Mrs. Ezekiel left Friday
for a months stay at Wolf Lake. Cam
ada. Before leaving. Mrs. Ezekiel dele
gated the planning Of the drive to
the membership chairman, Mrs. Rob-
ert w. Horton.
In discussing the work OF the league
Mrs. Ezekiel said: Out Of the de-
velopment Of the idea OF consumer
interest in the industrial process have
come q number of different types Of
activity. Public agitation for pure food
and drug laws and consumer Coop
eratives are only a few Of these. All
have been motivated by the idea that
the ultimate consumer has q right
not only to choose where he will put
his dollar. but to inquire into the
worth of the commodity purchased, in
terms of the material and labor which
have gone into it.
Consumer Has Stake.
"A slightly different approach is
that Of the compa ratively new WASH
ington League of Women Shoppers.
The view taken by these 400 women,
who have banded together during the
last Is months under the leadership
Of Mrs. Edward Colman, Mrs. Charles
w. Collier and others, is that the
consumer has also a stake in the la
Dor conditions under which consump-
ton goods are manufactured or pro-
cessed.
THE league extends it's interests to
include services. such as those af-
forded by laundries. hairdressing
establishments. etc. Lately it has
given its most concentrated attention
to the cases of women workers. in
the District who, previous to the sign
ing Of labor contracts, often have
been required to work under I'M
healthful conditions, or who have been
discharged for no ascertainable reason
other than their afhliation with trade
union.
Abuses Studied.
when such cases are reported to
the league. and its assistance in ne
gotiating the case requested, the
leagues Investigating Committee be-
gins an unbiased and unhurried study
Of the situations as reported, in an
effort to determine whether labor
abuses really exist, and If so, to what
extent.
COMMITTEE recommendations are
reported to the board, and through the
leagues news letter recommendations
for action and reports of action al
ready taken are communicated to the
membership as a whole. No action is
taken when the league is unconvinced
by the evidence submitted. If, however,
clear case Of labor abuse appears.
the league Is ready with machinery for
Cancellation. mediation. or, as a final
resort, an appeal to public opinion"
