Five Working Women Tell British Premier Why They Need The Vote

Prime Minister Grants interview to Representatives of Organization Which Disapproves Violence of the "Furies" Hears Economic Reasons for Equal Suffrage. LONDON", July 3. Ight years ago the prime minister of England refused to receive suffrage petitioners. Almost Immediately afterward Annie Kenney was manhandled; Mrs. Drummond arrested; and Mrs. Pankhurst did her first hunger strike for again demanding audience with tho head of a constitutional government. Now, Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, Just released from Holloway prison, lay down on the steps of the "house of commons promising to remain there until the premier received a deputation, or until she died of starvation. Her pitiable weakness, the result of repeated hunger strikes. made the threat ominous as a prophecy. The first minister of the crown surrendered! The girl leader, too weak to walk, wa3 carrier' back to Bethnal Green to call together the deputation already selected. Five delegates from Ea-t London suffrage societies chosen by public meetings held in Lime house, Canning Town. Poplar. Bow and Bromley, (the live boroughs where millions of toilers struggle to live), left Old Ford road m the heart of the dim KaM End to wait upon the prime minister. Instructed to go alone, without suffrage organizers or member.; of parliament. Mrs. Ford, a tailoress, Mrs. Hughes, a brushmaker, Mrs. Parsons, a cigaret maker, Mrs. Payne and Mrs. F.ird. housewives, gathered In th-3 premier's library.

simultaneous smile assented. Late, indeed, at leawt seven years late! Mrs. Pdrd, wife of a transport worker, stepped forward. "iir, I am the mother of six children under 13 years of age. I have one of the best of husbands a teetotaler earning $6.25 a week. i'ou may sec I am not lighting for the vote for myself. I am one of the best-off women on the East End. There are thousands worse off than me. But holding the home together depends upon us keeping our health. "The tenement we live in, the markets for our food, my baby's milk, the streets where our children must play, all these are healthy, or dangerous, according as borough councillors attend to them. "My husband cannot follow up such things. He comes home late, dead tired, poor man, needing his sleep. It is I who must protect the family. The East End as we know it is no place for children. We mothers feel that we have the right to help in improving conditions. But borough councillors will not heed us until we have the vote." She stood back. A TalloroN Story. Another woman stepped forward, Mrs. Ford of Stepney, a tailoress. Though she bowed bravely, her hands trembled. "Sir, I am a widow these eleven years. There is no man to speak for me or my t " children. At my trade it is a common thing for grown women to earn bv.t seven shillings ($1.75) for a full week's work. It is impossible to live decently on that. It is a hard struggle to make both ends meet. "There is no help for us but the. workhouse. That means separation from my little ones. Surely if I was fit to bear them I am tit to care for them. "In my young days I took up trouser making and pressing but was forced to leave the shop rather than with friends.

After she camo out she had no place to go so she came home with me and shared ny bed and room. "There were five of us in on room and rather than take the bread from my children's mouths she went out one day. I never saw her again until she and her baby were dragged from the river. he was dead, sir, but the guilty man went scot free! I am trying to tell you, Mr. Asquith, why we need the vote. As it is now, it is always the woman who pays!" A Iirushmaker's Story. Mrs. Hughes, an elderly woman, advanced and hand the prime minister a hairbrusn. "Sir, I am a brushmaker these 43 years, a quick worker, having been at it long. That brush is sold for $2.50. For making it I am paid four cents. Employers know it is safe to sweat women. Two cents one sweater offered me for filling two hundred holes with bristles. 'Man,' says I, Til have the law on you.' 'Woman,' he laughs in my face, 'You're nothing before the law." "We brushmakers know that to force better wages we must strike and have questions asked In parliament. And politicians belittle women workers holding they do not count. My husband's trade was destroyed by machinery. Therefore I must work 14 hours a day to make six brushes (24 cents) to support my home. "In everything but the name I am the man of the house. I think I have a right to vote the same as my husband. He hardly does any work at all. I think it is unjust and wrong that I cannot have a vote in making the laws. "Sir, has a woman no concern with the law only to obey it?" Even the grim premier smiled.
