"The Safety Valve,"
DEFEATED SUFFRAGETTES
CREATE PANDEMONIUM.
[By Electric -telegraph— Copyright] Timks and Sydney Sun Services. (Received 8 a.m.) London, April 16. Pandemonium reigned at the Teachers' Conference on t'he announcement that a ballot had defeated the resolution expressing sympathy with the suffragettes by 16,000 votes, the conference again determining that the subject was outside its scope. Miss Proud declared that the conference made suffragette members feel like serfs and muzzled persons. Apparently it did not want to face men and women with backbone and courage in the union. Miss Hewitt said the conference was sitting on the safety valve and it ought not to go out to the civilized world that the union had decided that the enfranchisement of two-thirds of its members was a subject unworthy of discussion.
