SUFFRAGETTES "TURNED DOWN."
"lime*" and "Sydney Sun" Services.
(Received April 18, -8.30 a.m.)
LONDON,- April 17
Pandemonium reigned at the teach-
ers' conference, when the announcement \va< made that a ballot had defeated the suffragettes "sympathy" resolution- by sixteen thousand votes, the conference again determining that the subject was outside its scope. Miss Froud declared that the conference had made suffragette; members feel like serfs and muzzled persons. Apparently they did not want to face the men and women with backbone and courage in the union. Miss Hewitt said the conference was sitting on a safety valve, and it ought not to go out to the civilised world that the union had decided that the . enfranchisement of two-thirds of its members Avas a subject-unworthy of discussion.
