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.
