SESSION LIMIT FAVORED WASHIXGTOX DELEGATION FOR SUFFRAGE ACTIOX. IS Programme to Be Extended if 60 Per Cent of Members of liotli Houses Desire. SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 20. (Spe cial.) By a vote of 13 to 6, members of the King county state legislative delegation,' which caucused in the Jaw office .of Representative E. Heister Guie last night, decided that if they were called in special session to ratify the equal suffrage amendment to the federal constitution they would limit the work of the session to the suffrage question unless 60 per cent of the membership of both houses e greed to take up extraneous mat ters. The original pledge circulated by equal suffrage workers was a flat agreement to consider the suffrage amendment and nothing 'else. In to night's . meeting several members sought either to remove the qualifica tion that 60 per cent must agree to take up outside matters or to take on a proviso that a soldiers' bonus bill be included. Argument of the big majority of the members was that al ready there is considerable opposition by outside members to any special ses sion and that an extra meeting would be impossible without an agreement to limit its work. Any matter of sufficient importance to prlong an extra session could at- tract, they support of at least 60 per cent of the members to get it pre Benled, argued the majority that voted for this limitation. At the same time they insisted the original pledge of the suffragists should be amended bo that emergency matters outside the suffrage amendment could be considered, if found necessary. Senator Renick, Representatives Al len, Conner and others declared that there would be no opposition by the members to a meritorious bill obtain ing signatures of 60 per cent. Repre nentatlves Frank Cotterill and S. A. Hull said they would support a flat declaration in favor of considering the equal suffrage amendment alon and Mr. Hull at one time tried to limit the session by a number of days Finally Mr. Hull and Mr. Cotterill voted against the resolution. give suggestions to country shippers.
