Miss Clark cited the estimated ex- penditure in denial of the “repeated ery that women are not economically independent and that men will not contribute to their purely feminine causes.” An address by Rupert Hughes yes- terday left the 6,000 delegates ‘and visitors in a state of confusion ansd bewilderment.

Movement Called “Test of Rank and File” by Union Officials. By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 6.—London’s rail strike grew stronger today, and what trade union officials described as “the first big test of the so-called rank and flle movement” seemed to be de- wveloping in favor of the workerswith communistio tendencies.
