Women Close
Big Parley of
Co-Operatives
Guild Conference Preceds World
Congress Assembling in
Vienna
Vienna Delegates from 20 differ
ent states attended the two days'
congress of the International Co
operative Women's Guild, an inde
pendent organization of women co
operators, which closed here Aug.
22. The meetings were presided over
by Frau Emmy Freundlich, who, in
addition to being president of the
guild is a vice-president of the Euro
pean Economic Union and a deputy in
the Australian Parliament.
Discussion disclosed the fact that
the delegates wanted greater repre
sentation for women in business, par
ticularly in the cooperative move
ment. Questions of motherhood and
child welfare, with ther consequent
Influence upon women's moral and
cultural development, were also dis
cussed. Meanwhile discussion among the
delegates who have arrived for the
thirteenth congress of the Inter
national Cooperative Alliance, which
convenes here Aug. 25, is directed
mainly at proposed changes in the
procedure of conducting the con
gresses. Steadily increasing expan
sion of the agenda has compelled the
change and a new scheme has al
ready been drawn up by the central
committee.
In the main the proposals call for
greater coordination in the technical
relationships between member groups
and the alliance. It is also urged
that the time-table for the business
proceedings of the congress should
be extended to four full days of two
sessions each, thus giving two addi
tional sessions without an increase in
the number of days. During the sit
tings of the congress no auxiliary
meetings will be held and all social
functions during the period will be
entirely eliminated.
These proposals indicate that the
central committee hopes to empha
size on delegates the need for utiliz
ing the full time of the congress ou
the business affairs of the move
ment.
