FOREIGN NOTES

Austrian Council of Women

The Austrian Council has existed;
about seven years; its growth has been
gradual but continuous and it now in—
cludes fifty associations. These are
largely local bodies and the greater num—
ber of them are in Vienna, but the
"Council Idea” is bccoming better
known and organizations in Prague,
Graz, Czcrowitz and Brunn have come
into membership within the last two;
years. From the Report to the last Bicn—f
nial held at Vienna in May, we see that
these Austrian women are reaching out1
toward freedom and are working strenu—j
ously to help humanity and especially.

the fcmininic portion of it. 1

Among the lines of work apportionch
by the Biennial of 1905 to its official;
board and its committees are the follow— I and girls of 16.

 

ing: to try to secure the enactment of
bills for the insurance of household ser—
vants,—the protection of children and
youth,—reform in the marriage laws,—
laws relating to women in the indus-
tries,—to better the economic conditions
for governesses,—to secure temperance
instruction in schools and in Normal in-
stitutes—the admission of women as
teachers in Secondary schools for Boys,
—opening of Trades Schools for girls,—
secure changes in existing laws relating
to the family, to inheritance, guardian—
ship and the property earned in mar—
riage,—to better the laws relating to un-
married mothers and their children,—to
secure the establishment of a govern-
ment school of cooking and house—keep-
ing. All these things were part of the
regular work of the Council in addition
to. its Standing Committees on Peace
and the Press. Special committees were
formed to secure improvements in the
conditionsvunder which midwives work,
—to investigate and report to the Inter—

national Council of Women the condi—'

tions of living, and working in which
the Austrian people are found today and
upon their food,—and also to report to
the International Council the present in—
stitutions of education open to women
and girls.

Of course the Austrian Council did not
succeed in all or nearly all of its endeav-
ors, but it surely made a valiant attempt
at it! Its leaders and the chairmen of
its various committees (by the way it
numbers Baroness Bertha Suttner among
them as chairman of its Committee on
Peace) interviewed Imperial Ministers
and Commissions of various sorts, pre—
sented its petitions in person when pos—
sible, otherwise by messenger, attended
the congresses for reforms of all kinds
held in Vienna and made the influence
of the Council of Women felt on all
sides.

They rejoice in the appointment of
women as School Inspectors (for Girls’
Schools, and one woman as a Factory In—
spector, and consider these the entering
wedge for women in the Arts and
Trades Schools.

Because of the Austrian laws forbid—
ding women to organize for political
purposes, the Council’s constitution ex—
pressly states that politics is not to be
discussed, yet when the President
of the International \‘Voman Suffrage Al—
liance, our own Mrs. Chapman Catt,
went through Vienna in company with
Dr. Alctta Jacobs (the Netherland Suf-
frage President) on their way to Hun—
gary to speak, the officers and many
members of the Austrian Council joined
the Woman Suffrage Committee which
was organized at the time and helped
mightily to make a success of the woman
suffrage meetings at which the two dis-
tinguished visitors spoke. When the
women were forbidden to organize a
woman suffrage “association” they whip—
ped the devil round the stump by their
woman suffrage “Committee,” which did
valiant service. If the Council had
joined as a body, it might have found it—

‘self disbanded by order of the govern-
‘ ment!
iunder which radical work is pursued by

Such are the hard conditions

women in Austria, yet they devote them—

:selves to it with enthusiasm and the lit—

tle bi-monthly paper which is the organ
of the Council published full and detailed
reports of the suffrage meeting and the
large petition which was rolled up by
the suffragists even in the face of the
government’s bitter opposition.

This brief account of the work and the
efforts of the Austrian Council of
\Vomcn would surely be incomplete with
no mention of their petition to the De
partments of the Interior and of Justlce
in which they made the following de-
mands: (1) Suppression of all licensed
brothels. (2) Severe punishment of the
\Vhitc Slave traffic and the matrimonial
agencies. (3) Raising of the age of pro-
tection for girls to 19 years. (4) Obliga—
tory teaching of sex information to boys
(5) Improvement in the

 

care of the young and exact administra—
tion of judicial control of minors.

At the same time the women of the
Council recognized that even should
they succeed in getting all that-they de—
manded, one thing more must be added,
i. e. they must see to it that the doors
are opened to the trades and professions
so that young women can earn an hon-
orable livelihood.

When so many of their efforts,-—nay,
when almost all of them are in the direc—
tion of, demanding better laws, it will not
be Ion}; before the mass of these active
women. as well a. stheir leaders, see that
their own all—present need is for enfran—
chisei’ii‘mt. They have the courage of
their convictions, these foreign women;
they are not afraid to call a spade a
spade, nor, when their eyes are opened
to the value of the ballot, will they be
afraid to demand it.

WOULD STRIKE EVIL
AT ITS ROOT

In reply to a request for co—operation'
in its child rescue campaign the Women’s
Trade Union League of Illinois writes
to the Delineator as follows:

We regret that through the action
taken by the proprietors of your maga—
zine co-operation on our part has been
rendered impossible. There is no
stronger protector of the homes of the
thousands of wage earning men and
women in our country than the trades
unions. The determination of the pro-
prietors of “The‘Delineator” to refuse
the legitimate demand of the printers for
the eight-hour day allies them with
those who, whether through ignorance or
intent, attack the homes of the children
of th!’

Let us ask you to consider whether it
is not fairer as well as wiser to protect
the home of the child rather than help
him find another home after his own has
been taken from him? How many fath-
ers are lost to their children and how
often is not the home- broken up by
frightful industrial accidents due to un-
protected machinery, by occupational dis-
eases, especially tuberculosis,—the latter
of such frequent occurrence among
printers,—by the long hours and the low
wage in most trades? How many moth-
ers are lost to their children and the
home destroyed by the fearful economic
struggle they have to face? And what of
those trade which put such a strain upon
the physical organization of women that
a brief service precludes the possibility
of motherhood?

As long as industrial conditions re—
sult in the child without a home as well
as the home without a child, we can
only meet our responsibility by refusing
to countenance such conditions and by
allying ourselves with the organization
of trades unions which above all others
is trying to rectify these conditions. All
thinking people everywhere unite in
recognizing the moral and social welfore
behind the demand for fair conditions,
an eight—hour day and a living wage.

Very sincerely,

SCHOOL ELECTIONS IN OHIO

As usual the newspapers are heralding
far and wide the news that here and
there but one woman in a town or only
two or three exercised the right of
school suffrage, and are failing to give
data from those places in which women
were elected to the Boards of Education
and in which large numbers of women
voted. For this reason we are able to
give little definite information at this
date.

In Hamilton three women'were elect-
ed to the School Board, pribably the
first time that so many women have been
elected to'the same Board at a single
election.

In London 250 women voted and Mrs.
Esta Coover Harvey, a sister of our
State Corresponding Secretary, was
elected to the Board of Education. Miss
reports that women voted in
large numbers in the smaller towns in
Madison county and that the total wom—
an vote in that county exceeded 600.

There was a woman candidate in
Piqua but at this writing the result of
the election there has not been learned.

In Girard Mrs. Blanche Crandon Cati-
field was elected—the first woman candi-
date ever presented in that town. Up—
wards of 200 women voted.

In Youngstown more women voted
than ever before. The men say the num—
ber, of women voting was 300, the
women aver that it was 500. There was-
no woman candidate but the women as
a whole are well satisfied with the men
who were elected. A large number of
candidates were in the field and the fact
a Republican, a Democrat and an Inde-
pendent were elected gives evidence that
schoool elections are being taken out of

" politics.

In Cleveland there were two women
candidates nominated by the Socialists.
The newspapers reported that each re—
ceived upwards of 6,000 votes but the
number of women who voted in the city
has not been given.

In Warren where there was but one
ticket in the field, the candidates being
members of the present Board and pre-
sented again by petition, and therefore
not a shadow of a contest, a consider-
able number of women voted.

In Niles where 100 women voted at
the Republican primaries and thus help-
ed to choose the members of the Board,
Niles being overwhelmingly Republican
at all times, a large number of women
voted, including many who had not voted
at the primaries. i

In Cincinnati some excellent educa—
tional work was done. Mrs. Margaret
Doane Bigelow, a member of the local
and State Suffrage Associations, was a
ward candidate as an Independent. She
received 303 votes. The Republican can—
didate in her ward was elected and is rc—i
ported as being well qualified for the po-;
sition. In another ward in the same city.
151 women voted and helped to elect a,
splendid man.

A prominent Ohio politician while
making a call at Headquarters said that
900 voted

the fact remains that a vote of 900 is al

Cleveland and Cincinnati are the larg-:
est cities in Ohio and in Youngstown
also registration is required. The fact
that women did vote in these cities gives.
the lie to the silly story which has been
circulated by the press outside the state
to the effect that “woman suffrage in
Ohio has received a set back in the dc-‘
cision of the Attorney General which;
declares that women who present them-l
selves for registration must give their‘
ages just as men voters must do.” ‘

The recent elections were the first held?
under a new law which provides that the:

 

names, of all candidates for members of
the board of education of any school dis-
trict in the State, however nominated,
shall be placed on one separate and dis—
tinct ballot, without any designation
whatever, and that the names shall be ar—
ranged in different alphabetical order on
different series of ballots. The purpose
of the law is to take school elections out
of party politics and in effect provides an
educational qualification for voting.

PRACTICAL WOR K

3
Of New York League of Seif-Sup-
porting Women

Last summer Governor Hughes ap-
pointed a Charter Revision Commission
for New York City which Commission is
to expire December Ist. The Commis-
sion considered its life too short to think
of revising the Charter of Greater New
York and so decided to place before the
Governor problems as to the city gov-
ernment., The chairman of this Com-
mission is Mr. William M. Ivins, .whose
name is well and favorably knownto suf-
fragists outside New York as well as
within the city. Mrs. Harriet Stanton
Blatch and eight other members of the
League of Self Supporting Women de-
cided that the women of the city must
not let such an opportunity for pressing
their claims go by. They, therefore,
framed a letter, setting forth their de—
sires, and solicited signatures. They were
marvelously successful although they
had only four days in which to do the
work after definite action was decided
upon. Among the signers of the petition
are Dr. Felix Adler, Rabbi Wise, Dr.
John P. Peters, Father Chidwick, Clar—

ence Lexow, Dean Ashley of the Law'

Scliuul, Dr. Daniel, iicat‘i‘uf (lie—diff
dren’s Infiramary, Simon Flexnor of the
Rockefeller Institute of Medical Re-
search, Walston Brown, Mr. Saterlee,
son-in-law of J. P. Morgan, Col. George
Harvey, Mr. Slossen of the Independent,
Oswald Garrison Villard, Mark Twain,
besides many women prominent in the
best life of the city. It will thus be seen
that the church, the learned professions
and big business all sympathize with and
seem willing to lend a hand in this ef—
fort. The petition which follows was
presented to the Commission in session
at the City Hall by Mrs. Harriet Stan—
ton Blatch and Mrs. Maud Nathan.
That they were accorded a courteous
hearing goes without saying:

:To the Charter Revision Commission:

Gentlemen :—

In response to your request for the
views of citizens on the organization of
the educational system of Greater New
York, we beg as representatives of a
large section of the community to sub—
mit certain suggestions.

In considering the advisibility of em-
bodying these in your recommendations
to the Governor for amending the Char—
tcr, we beg you to remember that as-
mothers and teachers women stand near—
er the life of the child than any other
Imembers of society, that in the villages
lof our State women have used their
privilege of school suffrage with signal
,benefit to the children, and that in sec—
ond class cities women have been placed
on the-Boards of Education by the suf—
frages of their‘fellow citizens, their re—
peated re—election marking the commun-
ity’s approval of their service.

\Ve would further beg you not to over—
look the fact. that in Brooklyn when it

. was a separate city. the Mayor appointed

five women on the Board of Education

and that consolidation has meant to that

Borough the loss of the services of these
efficient women citizens.

Based on such experience. our sugges—
tions are that if your Commission con—

1clude to recommend that the Board of

Education remain appointive you will
also recommend that it be made manda-
tory for the Mayor to place a fair pro—
portion of women on that Board, or if
your decision is to recommend an elec—
tive Board we beg you will add the
recommendation that women be included
in the electorate.
Respectfully yours, &c—

The women trust that their claim will

be presented by the Commission to the

Governor, and future developments are
awaited with interest,

PROGRAMS FOR LOCAL CLUBS

Beginning with this number Progress
will publish a monthly program for local
clubs. We shall endeavor to make these
programs so simple that no difficulty will
be experienced in finding material for
them and at the same time we shall aim
to make them of practical use. Club
presidents and members must exert
themselves, however, to find the answers
to questions suggested and to prepare
themselves on the subjects for discus-
sion. Headquarters cheerfully under—
takes the task of supplying these pro-
grams for 1908 but it cannot do the
Clubs’ work too.

The following program is suggested
as No. I, new series:

I. Quotations on woman suffrage
from American statesmen—by all mem—
bers present.

'2. W hat is the area of the United
States? How many States and Territor-
ies are there?

3. How is the President of the United
States elected? How many Presidents
have we had?

4. \Vhat are the qualifications, duties,
powers, salary and term of office of the
President?

5. \Vhich Presidents have been be~
lievers in woman suffrage?

6. How many persons compose the
President's cabinet? Name the present
Cabinet Members.

7. \Vhat is Congress?

8. What are the duties of Senators,
of Representatives? What are their sal—
aries and terms of office ?

Subjects for Discussion

I. Oklahoma—the new State.
2. Should United States Senators be
elected by direct vote?

to hear that Mrs. Ida Husted Harper
has practically completed the manuscript
of the third volume of the Life and \Vork
of Susan B. Anthony. It has been my
privilege to read the type—writer's proof
with Mrs. Harper and I can assure those
who know and love the history of Miss
Anthony‘s life that this final volume is
on the same high plane as the first two-—
that. though they were written in Miss
Anthony's home and with her constant
eo—operation and this has had to be done
without such help, it is, like
more nearly an auto—biography than any
other story of a life written by other
than the one who lived it. I confess
that this has been a surprise even to me,
and I li“.C\V that Mrs. Husted Harper
had become to Miss Anthony, in the
later years of her life. the one who could
best express her thought for her on

paper. Any who have wondered or have‘ _
to take it.

feared that perhaps this ending of the
wonderful story of a great life might
possibly lack something of the spirit of
the volumes which brought the history
up to 1900, may look forward to a great
pleasure in store in the perusal of Vol—
ume III. It is the chronicle of Miss An—
thony's years of recognition and the tri-
umph of her vonderful personality both
at home and over the sea; it is more in—
teresting than any romance could possi—
bly be.

It was hoped that the book would be
ready for Christmas but that is not to
be; the best we now expect is that it will
be ready for delivery by Miss Anthony’s
birthday, February 15, ’08. It will be
sold by the National Headquarters and
orders can be sent there in advance. It
would be entirely possible to give it as a
Christmas present, to be delivered later;
at least this occurs to me to be entirely
proper among suffragists. The exact
