Washington Conference Reviews Gains 5 Since Suffrage Meeting 100 Years Ago By FRED W. PERKINS, Scripps-Howard Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb.

. groups in economics and politics are taking stock here

“under auspices of the Women’s

If one of the numerous speakers mentions that “the first 100 years are the hardest” the reference will be to a meeting in Seneca | ‘Falls, N. Y., in 1848 when the suffrage movement had a beginning. | The history can go back even farther—150 years, for instance ]

—to0 the then First Lady, Abigall Adams, who wrote formally to her husband, the second President, “If particular care and attention are not paid to the ladies we are determined to foment a rebellion and will not hold ourselves bound to obey any laws In which we have no voice or representation.”

and trades; the right to vote and help make laws on Jocal,

service in all but 13 states; full rights to property and earnings in most states; the same rights of guardianship as men, in most cases: the right to keep their own identity in most respects, and to receive the same treatment as men under tax laws.

When the hoop-skirted ladies met in Seneca Falls 100 years ago, amid scoffing from most of the population, including many of their own sex, -.he

generally were closed to women. Marriage stripped a wife of practically all her property rights, . including her right ‘o her personal earnings. Such property as women couid hold was taxed without a voice ia the tax laws.

Ask Equal Pay, More Community Services

Objectives still to be attained by women workers, Miss Miller says, include wider application of the equal-pay principle, better working conditions and pay in the large womenemploying industries, on-the-Job training ’in ‘industry, community services to help (he woman who is both a worker and a homemaker, and fuller recognition that women aspire | to policy-making positions when their qualifications fit them. The importance of women workers is indicated by the

delegates among the more than 200 women in the meeting here. The Census Bureau reported that last month employed women in the United States numbered 15,876,000, while 491,000 were looking for jobs. In November, 1947, according to the National Industrial Conference Board, the weekly earnings of men in 25 selected manufacturing industries averaged $60.37 for 41.2 hours of work; | the comparable figures for women were $40.88 and 39 hours.

| There was no comparison of the

character of work done by men and women.
