The Congressional union does not
think the statement of the National
Atncnican Woman Suffrage Associa~
tion, that it "endorses" the Susan B.
Anthony Amendment. makes clear the
position of the National. as long as
that. association endorses also the
other federal suffrage amendment. re-
cently introduced by Senator Shafroth
and Judge Palmer. 4
The National cannot be on two sides'
of the fence at once. It cannot bel
for two amendments so different in
character as that proposed originally
by Susan B. Anthony. which would re-
move from the ballot the qualification
of sex. and the Shafroth Palmer
amendment which proposes that the
initiative and referendum be estab I
lislted in every state for the disposi-
tioll of the suffrage question by state
referendums.
The Congressional Union does not.
believe in taking two or more bites at
a cherry when it can be had for one.
There is but one way to secure
women suffrage, Union leaders think.
and that is for all suli’rage workers to
give up every other preposition and
get behind the direct Susan B. An-
thony federal amendment. 4
“What sui'fragists want to know;
said Miss Lucy Burns, vice chairman
of the Congressional union, today, “is
whether the National will work for
the Susan B. Anthony amendment and
for that alone.
“At its last convention in Nashville
the National passed a very vague res-
olution endorsing the Susan B. An-
thony amendment and any other meas-
ure which would forward that amend-
ment. 4
“The National has repeatedlyde-
ciared that the Shafroth Palmer
amendment would be a ‘steppins

“If the Siisfroth Palmer amendment
is to be a stepping stone to the Susan
B. Anthony amendment, it is access
sary‘that. it become a part of the fed-l
oral-4 constitution; that a number- of.
state campaigns be won under its
provisions; and the national strength
of women be thus increased to the
point where the Susan B Anthony
amendment may be passed through
Congress

Miss Burns. “to work for one amend-
mental-the .- tederaih constitution in
constitution twice in order to obtain
one reform is an unreasonable pro-
gram.
“if it were absolutely necessary,
even this laborious method might be
faced. But it is not necessary.
“It is already possible to secure
state referendums on women suffrage
through existing state machinery.
"We have‘already before us more
state referendums than in the opinion
of many suffragists we can effectual-
ly handle.
"Wily complicate the federal situa-
tion by the introduction of a compro-
mise bill in order to secure more rei-
ercndums. when there are already too
many? '
