INFLUENCE EXERTED IN MANY STATES
1tIw of the Work Accomplished by
the Inlted Effort In tTor of
Reformatory nnd Cor
rective Mntnte.
Wlil the sixth biennial convention of
tho General Federation of Women's Clubs,
assembled at Los Angeles three years ugo,
pledged the lnfluenco of that organization
to securing tho enactment of adequate child
labor laws In every state of the. union, It
established a precedent that sect.is destined
to break down tho last barrier of pre
judice against tho efforts of organized
women. The endeavor of women to In
fluence legislation dates bark much further
than three years ago; In fact, It was tin suc
cess of their previous efforts that eu
oouraged them to launch a concerted effort,
but this resolution registered the general
fcdoratlon, undltiputably tho must In
fluential, representative and conservative
organization of women in America, ag
gresslbly, If need be, the champion of a
great reform.
The worthiness of the cause appealed to
very falrmlnded, thinking person nnd the
earnestness and womanliness with whlct
they set about their task served to con
vert not only men but the most conser
vative within their own ranks to tho
dignity and seriousness of the work. And
success made It possible for the seventh
biennial held at St. Louis last May to con
tinue legislative work and that convention
endorsed a number of desirable measures
that various legislatures of the past winter
have enacted Into laws, as a direct or In
direct result of the efforts of tho club
women. Juvenile courts, pure food and
medicine laws, strict and uniform laws
governing marriage und divorce in all the
states were among the desired legislation
and In addition to these many local needs
have been striven for, while In many state
serious damage to good legislation already
accomplished has been averted through the
opposition exerted by club women through
agitation and education. In other states
and communities, where it has not seemed
expedient to push these measures, tl
federations have given their efforts to the
enforcement of good laws already upon
the statutes
And now at tho close of the legislative
season a survey of their efforts, lndi
pendent of their results, causes one to open
his eyes In wonder that, at the beginning
of the twentieth, century there Is, in this

Individual club support was olsn given

They gave active opposition to a bill mak

They also entered protest against the gov

Srtrlh llnkntn-Membership 1,:Ort.
The North Dakota federation has framed
no bills this year, but has concentrated its
efforts upon the pure food law, educating
public opinion and sentiment for its en
forcement. This Inw Is said to be one of
the most effectual state food laws In ex
istence, and the clubs have been of ma
terial assistance In making It so. North
Dakota having no child labor or Industrial
problems with which to cope, and having
come Into the union with a good prohibi
tion law Incorporated In Its constitution,
the club women have been able to follow

Oklahoma Membership 1,47.1.
The Oklahoma and Indian Territory fed
eration has been successful In passing a bill
providing for juvenile offenders. The bill
provides for their safe keeping and educa
tion and carries an appropriation of $5,000
per year to meet the expenses.
Three other measures to which the fed
eration gave active support failed to pass
and the women will endeavor to secure
their parage by the next legislature. The
first of these related to compulsory educa
tion. Another made It a misdemeanor to
employ a girl under 14 In a factory or a
boy under in In a mine, and the third pro
vided that Juvenile criminals confined in
city or county Jails must be kept separate
from other criminals, a violation to be
punishable by a fine.
Pennsylvania Membership 12,720.
Tho Pennsylvania federation drafted no
bills this year, but gave Its active support
to a number, among them being an amend
ment to tho Juvenile court law providing
a bill to license trained nurses by the stale.
This was aimed at correspondence schools
and endorsed by the best physicians of tho
state.
The library extension and forestry Mils
originated In the library and forestry com
mittee of the State Federation. The age of
consent bill and stiTrage bills originated
In the Rvnnston Woman's club. The
trained nurses bill was drnwn by the State
Association of Graduate nurses, one of tho
organizations affiliated with the State Fed
eration. The protection agency bill was
brought to the federation by the Protective
agency, an organization working In the In
terest of women and children, und w hlle not
strictly a federation bill was so classed
because of the support given It by that
organization.

theirs has been a work of education that

much this year that will be profitable In

but a postponement of a reward that they
know to be well worth their most heroic

the replies received.

The Arkansas Federation, thoi gh It did
not actually prepare any bills, T.as directly

for a normal school and another allowing
cities of the first class to prV.ide for public
libraries by Increased tuxnttm. The first

Through Its various committees the Maine
federation has come before its state legis

this winter. The forestry committee asked
a law forbidding the erection of signs in
fields or their posting on fences or build

Of all the bills adopted or endorsed only

bills, the registration bill and the children's

Very efficient work was also done by the
federation In defeating two bills that sought
to cripple, if not destroy, the work of the
Juvenile court. The turbulent condition of
tho Colorado legislature this winter was
largely responsible lor tho defeat of not
only the club women's efforts, but other
interests of the state at large.

Nev Jersey Mem bershlp 11,017.
The New Jersey federation as an or
ganisation has presented no bills this year,
but has given its active support to the fol
lowing: A bill providing that the state, at its
own expense, administer the funds of the
teachers' retirement fund. This fund is
ruined by the teachers of the state for the
support of disabled or worn out teachers.
The slate hohis and administers tills fund,
but hus never contributed to it; Instead, it
takes from tho fund each year about Jl.6i.-0

houses, but wus veto-ed by the governor.
Another bill providing for a woman's re

Tim club women's bill changed the word

Ths wumeu gave their support to a num
ber wf other measures, puioiif them being-
from 10 to IS years; an increased appropria

success being due largely to the efforts of
tho women. Through their Influence also
Mrs. Kate Turner Holmes, a prominent
teacher and club woman, was appointed by
the governor a member of the advisory
board of state library directors; a bill
creating the office of chaplain at the state
penitentiary with an appropriation for Its
support.
A local option bill and an antl-ctgarette
bill were among the unsuccessful measures
supported by the women.
Wisconsin Membership O.OOO.
The Wisconsin federation has presented
no bills this winter, but hus supported sev
eral that have been drafted by clubs or
committees holding membership In the fed
eration. Among these was a bill pre
sented by the Lacrosse Woman's club
with reference to the appointment of
women on school boards and boards of
education. It makes women eligible in all
the cities of the state. An anti-cigarette
bill also received the active support of the
women. The Consumers' league committee
of the federation appeared before the legis
lature In opposition to some unwise amend
ments to the child labor law, which would
have Jeopardlred Its efficiency. Through
the efforts of the chairman of the Con
sumers' league, an officer of the Chil
dren's Benevolent league and the secretary
of the Trades council the objectionable
amendments were indefinitely postponed.
WromlDK Membership TOO.
The Wyoming federation, which has been
organized but little over a year, had
planned to present two bills to Its legis
lature this winter, but as other bills were
Introduced covering the same ground, they
guve their support to these. One of these.
which was passed, was an amendment to
the pure food law. As tho women of
Wyoming have the ballot, It Is the policy
of the federation to work as unaggres
sivrly as possible; still all matters per
taining to the welfare of women and chil
dren are especially the charges of the
federation. F. E. 8
