...great steel pier at Atlantic City the General Federation of Women's Clubs last week held its 18th biennial convention. The Federation heard William Green, President of the A. F. of L. (against child labor), Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania (for prohibition), Minnie Maddern Fiske (against the use of furs of animals* caught in cruel steel traps) and many another worthy man and woman. The Federation also passed resolutions for the beautification of highways, for a federal child labor amendment, for support of the 18th Amendment and Volstead Act.† In addition it decided to found a permanent "legislative bureau...
