The delegation from the west has
succeeded in overturning a long es

hearing directly from the steering
committee.
Already the steering committee
has given decided encouragement to
the proposed legislation, and, what
is more, a vacancy on the steering
committee probably will be filled by
the appointment of Representative
Nolan of California. This would
give the west the control of that
committee and its powerful Influ

by many as certain.

Utah and one of the western dele

proposition from appropriations for

he has stated, is not returned, while
the bond money will be repaid with

MARRIED WOMEN ARE
TARGET OF UNIONS
(Continued from page 1)
labor organization is said to passed
the last few days at the statehouse
Investigating conditions, and found
that as many as 20 women whose
husbands are regularly employed at
good wages are on the state payroll.
In many instances these women are
said to be receiving as much as $100
a month for their services, while
their less fortunate sisters are un
able to obtain even the most hum
ble employment.
This same question was previously
considered by several of the labor
organizations of Ihe state, and upon
one occasion an effort was made to
have the legislature pass a law mak-
ing it impossible to employ married j
women at state Institutions in case
where their husbanus were physical
ly able to provide for their support.
Before this bill was formally present
ed to the legislature it was submitted
to the attorney general who held that
such an act would be unconstitution
al In that it would deprive married
women of their right to work.
Conference is Planned
Because of the ruling of the at
torney general It is now proposed by
labor to call thg officials into con
ference and Impress upon them the
justice of giving employment to sin
gle girls and women who have per
sons dependent upon them for sup
port in preference to those whose
husbands already are earning a sal
ary sufficient to provide for their
support.
It Is understood that the labor un
ion responsible for the move has
sought the co-operation and support
of numerous women's organizations
of the state and that these latter or
ganizations have promised to send
delegates to the conference.
