Demand Qi; American Women. .1 ■ EVIDENCE BEFORE SENATE COMMITTEE. Jly Cable —Press Association —Copyright. . Australian and N.Z. Cable Association (Received April 13, 7.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, April 12. The Senate Committee heard a delegation of sixty-fife women welfare and social workers, and churchgoers, claiming to represent twelve thousand women, with a plea for the retention of the Enforcement Act, in the name of the wives and children. The delegates, in one minute speeches, argued that prohibition had the following results: Women’s homes had been bettered; men were saving money; and the school children were better clothed.
The delegation said they bore no figures or statistics. Their only messages was from the women of the nation against any modification, and for better enforcement.
Mrs Henry Peabody (chairwoman of the National Committee for Lav/ Enforcement) questioned regarding a section of the Enforcement Act, said. “I am not acquainted with that section. With all the' responsibilities I have, wo stand for tho strongest enforcement and the weakest liquor.” The delegates announced the organisation of a campaign of millions of women to bolster prohibition.
