DUNEDIN WOMEN'S FRANCHISE LEAGUE.
[BY telegraph.— association.) Udnedin, Monday. At a mooting of the Women's Franchise League it was decided to congratulate tho executive of the Women's National Council on the successful manner in which the business was caaried out. Mrs, Hutton was appointed to confer with the other officers with a view of having the next Convention in Dunodin. It was resolved that the Government, having committed themselves to the principle of equal pay for equal Work, should supplement their policy by increasing the capitation grant to enable the various education boards to carry this principle into effect in the payment of pupil teachers. The following resolution was also passed: "That the Executive Women's Franchise League consider the sixty years' reign of our Queen to be a royal proof of the ability of women to fulfil high administrative functions to the satisfaction of a great empire, and they would respectfully ask the Premier to take some means while in England which might help to dispel the lamentable ignorance of British legislators with regard to womanhood suffrage in New Zealand."
