She spoke of Mr> Kobertson, Colorado's woman Senator, who was directly instrumental in placing on the Statute Hook such laws as the* minimum wage tor workers, and the* cutting down of the- hours of child labour.

Resolved: “That thi" meeting desires to draw attention to the fac t that, while* the masc uline ideal of woman demands pu r ity, the laws whic h have been placed by men on the Statute Hook of the* Dominion pic scribe for offences against the' person and purity of girls and women, a scale of punishments, which are not only much lighter than these prescribed for offences agam-t property, but •which are in many case*" quite inadequate for the protection of that which men profess to prize* in women. We therefore urge* that such amendment" of the* Crime*" Act be* made by Parlia ment at the* earliest opportunity as will rai'C* the age of consent to twenty one yea/s, and provide jade quate punishments tor offences against the person and purity of girl" and women.” “That step" be taken to remove all artificial disabilities imposed by law upon women.” “That a message of sincere sympathy with the women of England who are labouring tec obtain the vote, be drawn up and forwarded by Secretary.” Oct. 22.
