ters and Joiners in Chicago.
CHICAGO Feb. 25 .-—'l‘welve women.
members of the Equal Suffrage Asso
elation, swooped down upon a meeting
of carpenters and Joiners, last night,
took possession for an hour and made
ii plea to organized labor to join them
in their fight for the ballot.
Once there was a disturbance. Dur-
lug the time Mrs. Corinne S. Brown
was delivering an address to a group
of men near the door they became
noisy one of them was protesting,
against the invasion of the women
"It’s all bunk. They can t put it or
or me.” he declared. The suffragettc
in the chair pounded on the table for
order. and Mrs. Brown paused in her
peroratiom
"if that man wants to speak, let him
come to the platform and I will divide
my time. with him,” she said "There
should be a sergeant “at arms to keep
order. "
Members of the union hastened to
the scene of disturbance, and the dis-
senter was quieted His minority re.
port had been provoked by one of the
Women handing him a petition and
asking him to sign it.

can such a meeting be arranged? It
appears to be for Daubury to answer

at stake, none of the others appears to
have made a mine toward such an end

except to the people directly intercomd
in the trade. Newark and Orange, N.
.and especially the latter place, are
pretty seriously affected. but their sits
nations are not to be compared with
Danbury' s or that of Bethel. So It ap~‘
pears that if any move is to be made
from interests outside the hat trade to
restore peace within that trade and to
get the factories into operation again
it must be made by Dnnbmy, without
much prospect of assistance from the
Ollier' places. .
What Danburv can do further than
