declared that Eve women should
look to the Wilson era with PRIDE
for it was during his term of Office
that the woman's suffrage bill, with
the Presidents full approval, was
passed by Congress.
To indicate the late Presidents
interest in the rights OF. labor, an
other member asserted that he
was the first CHIEF Executive ever
to attend a labor convention-the
