The Mississippi Valley Suffrage
Conference which was held at Minne
apolis from IMay 10 to May 17 is re
ported as being one of the best and I
most inspiring conventions ever held.
Those who had the good fortun-, to
attend say that it was not only en
joyable but highly profitable as well.
'It was like a magnified and glorifi
ed "Work Conference." The wo
-men buckled right down to business,
and their business was to discuss the
best and speediest way to win equal
suffrage. Practical suggestions on
many different aspects of the work
were brought forward and threshed
out; advice was given by experts in
their various lines, and was eagerly
noted down by the rank and file..
Mrs. Harrison Monroe Brown,
president of Illinois, assured the wo
men who are planning to come to
Chicago that full arrangements will 1
be made for their comfort. Mrs. (
Alice Mayer Wing gave like assur- I
ances for St. Louis. Mrs. Catt im- 1
pressed the great importance of hav
ing large delegations present in both
cities. She said: 'ALet us throw
out'the rubbish of our own conserva- 1
tism and doubt and fear and hesita
lion, and take as our slogan: 'The t
appointed hour is now.' When you I
do that, the victory is here." e

An investigation which disclosed

the committee's - care were needle
workers.
So a factory war opened last dJne
on the upper flDr of a two-story
building in the Bronx. New win
dows were added, and a stairway and
bulkhead cut through to the root on
which a fresh-eir rest room will br
equipped this summer. The patients
work on men's shirts, a task which
though not paying the highest wages
has a fairly steady demand.
The work in this factory is gradu
ated both in difficulty and in time.
Some patients who at Arat o.uld
work only an hour or two are now
doing practically, full time. They
work in ideal conditions and under
continued supervision. The usual
accessories of welfare work are pres
ent, such as lunch room, rest room
and nurse service. None of the pa
tients are paid more than they earn
nor less than the union scale.
Admission to the fautory is strict
ly limited by doctor's orders, and ex
aminations are repeated monthly.
The committee endeavors by its
visiting nurses to keep track of the
patient's entire family, and has found
in a number of cases that other mem
hers than the one under treatment
needed special care. In its rehabili
tation process it includes the very.
practical assistance of loans to star'
patients in business.
The toatl cost of the experiment
for two years, including the cost of
'equipping the factory, was over $80,
