SEEKING BAU.0T
ROME, Jan. 7.- Italian suffragists
today launched a new movement for
the wresting of their right of suf­
frage from the present parliament.
Since the death two years ago of Lady
Marescettl, the founder of the move­
ment, and who all but succeeded in
attaining the deaired end, the move­
ment in Italy has been practically
dead.
Now the women have new grounds
for hope. During the recent elections
the socialists having declared for wo­
man suffrage, the women took an act­
ive part in their support. They were
instrumental in increasing the social­
ist block in parliament from twenty-
five to thirty.
Premier Cfolitti is dependent on the
socialists for his majority in parlia­
ment, an«! in return for this it is
necessary for him to concede to the
socialists certain legislation which
they desire. The women have already-
charged a committee of the latter
with the drawing up of the suffrage
bill, which they will have introduced.
