WOMEN MAKE PLEA OF FULL EQUALITY "Ab'solute Equality" Is Application of Federal and State Laws Sought. Nn. tional Women's Party iII Session. Washington, Feb. 1.-A plea for "absolute equality" for women In the application of all state and federal laws was voiced by speakers at. the op ening session here today of the Na. tional Woman's party convention. The I/lea wa':ts entitusia;ti cally applauded by the assembled delegates. The disettssjon of the IC ual ciuality for woinen came uilp With the presen tation or a report from the research comim'twe setting forth legal "(11 riinautions" which the committee said must be removed. Asserting that the "courts have beenl and still are distinctI ly Ima;scuin e institutions," tle roeort, as preselitcd by the commiit tee cual rinan, Mlis; Eulsie -White, of Nashville, Teni., added. "They must become human Instili tions through -the participation of wo mnca in tle amiuinistration and appli cation of the law. This is just as im portant as the formulation of the law. Women should be encouraged to enter the legalprofession and to sit as judges and jurors. Until they are final ly rCpresenuted t-hroughout, the entire structure of the institution there al ways will be grave doubt as to whether women ever receive exact justice in the courts." In .the adimihistration of laws on divorce and offenses against morality, the report said, women are "more often the victims of injustices than the present legal psychology compre hlendi." Replying to tihe question raised in an address by Mrs. Nora '3. Barney, of New York, as to whether women ere willing to forego the "special rivileges" accorded them in the laws of many states, es-pecially as to "the usband's responsibility for his wrife's debt," Miss White said: "Absolut'ly equality is my answer." No vote was taken on the adoption of the report, however, mtich will, come up for approval at a later ses sion as a resolution.
