THE STORY OF 1934 10—Women Press Efforts This is the tenth in a daily series of 12 articles. (By The Associated Press) Washington, Dec, 28.—()—Success shone in 1934 on a number of projects for which the nation’s women citi- zens have campaigned for years. Emergency conditions aided by arousing public interest generally in governmental affairs. When that in- terest veered to the traditional con- cerns of women—the home, children and food for the family—the women told it had nothing to do with the| Were ready with facts, statistics and question of who should occupy the house. He advised them to comply with the law directing that they shall maintain the property but that they had no authority to determine who should occupy it. That, he said, was none of their business. Subsequently the board refused to a willingness to work. Through cities and counties this year women’s clubs have named rep- Tesentatives to consumers’ couticils, ‘uncovering facts on the costs of food. Armed with the facts they went back to their groups and spread the in- formation, In several instances low- er prices have resulted to the con- ‘pay a telephone bill for the mansion sumer, and that means to the house- on the ground that it could not be| Jit, who must administer the fam- considered a part of the maintenance, but bills for light and water were @pproved and paid on the ground ily budget.

It thay be unfair, Sauvain said, but the only agency which can provide pay- ment for such a bill is the legisla- ture. , Again the matter was taken up with the attorney general and again the board was told to “go right ahead, just as you have been doing.” Balk at Coal Bill ‘Then came the coal bill, whereupon Olson end others balked and the ‘®mount was not paid, though no one questions the fact that the fuel was delivered. The facts of the gubernatorial housing matter, in brief, are that the Langers own end for many years lived in a house at 114 Avenue A, west. When Langer s :cceeded George ¥. Shafer as governor in 1933, they Toved three blocks east into the ex- ecutive mansion and their home was tented to R. M. Stangler, who had been appointed as mpuaeee of the Bank of North Dakota. ‘The Stanglers have “since vacated the governorship. This is based on two “ifs.” The first. is that Moodie may be declared ineligible to serve. The second is that Langer may win in his appeal to the federal court of appeals from the judgment of the federal district court holding him guilty of a crime. In the latter event his disability would be lifted and he would claim that he is entitled to resume office as governor on the ground that no one was properly elected and qualified to succeed him, Under these circumstances, posses- sion of the executive mansion re- mains as his last vestige of power. He clings to it grimly and refuses to vacate. As @ result, while the supreme court is investigating “by what right” Moodie seeks to act as governor, it is barely possible that some other court will be probing the question of “by what right” Langer remains in the executive mansion with the state piel boty his operating bills—all ex- to Lighten Home Burdens shopping schedule which has reached a circulation of 60,000 during the| year. ‘The study of prices led to the study of milk. An army of women volun- teers made a survey of 59 cities to find that milk consumption was alarmingly under health needs. It! was the first such survey made in this country and resulted in a drive now being waged to give each child at least a pint of milk a day. Child Labor Amendment The General Federation of Women's Clubs, parent-teacher associations, nurses’ associations, the business and Professional women’s clubs are con- centrating on the drive and cooperat- ing with local health agencies and school boards. Meanwhile, the child labor amend- ment still is going the rounds of state legislatures seeking the ratifications it needs to become a federal law. Here again women’s clubs are serv- ing as @, major educational medium, to acquaint voters with the of the bill and the evils at which Jt) is aimed. Ratification is hoped for next year. Not satisfied with working for the national bill, the clubs, led by the National League of Women Voters,, have hammered at state child labor laws, raising the age limits and pre- scribing working conditions, As further protection for children’s | health many of the clubs have co- operated to stave off disastrous eco- nomies in local health a} Most of the national organizations ‘are preparing to push toward some federal and state cooperation on maternity and infancy health meas- ures, Pushed Arms Probe Several women’s organizations have specialized on individual issues, For instance, credit for the present senate investigation of the munitions industry has been given to the Wom- en’s International League for Peace and Freedom. It had the original re- solution introduced in the senate, and then campaigned over the coun- try to aid its passage. The league also sent its campaign director, Mabel Vernon, to Geneva, where she led the work to place a women’s equal nationality rights treaty on the program for the next session of the League of Nations. The General Federation of Wo- men’s Clubs is cooperating with the United States bureau of standards in work which it hopes will make it easier for the woman who must spend the family budget.
