The proposed equal rights treaty drawn up by Miss Alice Paul of the | United States was presented to a | plenary session of the conference by Doris Stevens, chairman of the com- | mittee on international action of the Women's party of the United States. Miss Stevens, making the keynote | speech, asserted: ‘Woman Talks “Enlightened women are in revolt against acts done for their good. We want no more laws written for our: good and without our consent. We must have the right to direct our own destiny jointly with you.” She urged the delegates to make (& treaty within the next flve years establishing the principle of wo- men's suffrage in all the American republics. 8he asked that women be allowed to consult with the confer- ence and its sub-committecs as col- leagues, not auxiliaries. “Act Wisely” “You might better act wisely and justly immediately on what you will have ventually to do,” she continued. “Bince the beginning of time men, with the best intentions no doubt, have been writing laws for our good; | since the beginning of time brave and valiant women have been abol- ishing these same law® written for our good.” A half hour before this plea the conference approved a resolution calling upon the legislatures of American governments.to pass a spe- clal maternity legislation. The meas- ure would provide obligatory full pay leaves for all women employes for a period of 40 days before and after confinement. Leaders of the women remarked that this was the type of legislation in the passage and dis- cussion of which they wanted a part.

Doyle of the department at the weekly meeting of the Exchange club held last evening. The speaker | was introduced by Joseph Ward. “People in need of help gener- ! ally apply to the welfare department Mr. Doyle said. notify the department of the need of assistance by certain families. The main work of the department lies in the town farm. At present there are 72 men, 14 children at the farm. An attempt is made to keep children out of the farm if it is poesible, Care is takcn of the children at their own homes | or other means are taken to provide | for them. It requires $18,000 a year to maintain the farm, $5,000 of this going for salaries. Seventy-five acres | are cultivated during the summer and enough vegetables to feed all thesinmates for the entirc year are raised. “The department makes it a rule | nc\'er to break up a home. Rather | v.)nm take one child to the farm and leave another at home, the depart- {ment will take care of both children tat their home and provide them with the care they need. The farm contains a three story building for | men and a separate building for the ‘women. The men are kept busy on routine jobs_every day. This keeps their hands and minds occupied. “The death rate at the farm has de- creased remarkably and this 1s at- tributed to the daily work perform- ed by the men. The daily labor keeps them in good healtn and prevents them from brooding. The men are generally those who work and fall back on the depart- ment because they do not know what to do. “The department is taking care iof 116 farhilies which amounts to about 600 individuals. One of the saddest duties the department has to per- form is that of taking children away from parents who are not fit to bring them up. “Poverty Is usually caused hy given sick people immediately although the depart- ment has to be on the alert. Many | people attempt to get aid when they are financially able to take care of | themselves, RAILROAD MEN MAY FACE CRIMINAL PROSECUTION “Company Union” Formed in Hous- | ton, Texas, a Violation of Federal Railway Labor Act. Houston, Texas, Feb. 8 (#—Pro- motion of a “company union” to dis- | railway | (place the brotherhood of clerks in alleged violation of the railway labor act, has left four offi- cials of the Southern Pacific lines of Texas and Louisiana, facing re- | commendations for prosecution for criminal contempt unless the broth- erhood is recognized. Federal Judge J. C. Hutcheson yesterday in recommending crimin- al contempt procecdings against the four executives indicated they could | purge themselves of such charges only by restoring the brotherhoods to the official labor body of the company clerical employes, and by dissolving the association of clerical employes fostered by the company, Judge Hutcheson's recommenda- tions were contained in an opinion | forecasting sentences for the four | {officials Friday in a civil contempt | case in which they were found to | have violated an injunction restrain- ing them from interference with op- eration of the brotherhood.
