Nowadays, they could not manufacture their goods, but at Jeast they should control the price and quality. ‘Women never give up until their objective is reached,” she declared. Reports from various standing committees were heard in the af- termoon session and delegates dis- eussed at length constitution de- signed primarily to protect con- sumers interests. With some slight amendments the constitution was ratified. The evening session opened with a speech from Judge Helen Gre- gory McGill, who complimented the League on its excellent work. “Qn principle we should be in favor of low prices,’ she said, “but we must be sure it is a fair price, allowing for fair wages and working hours.” “The Housewives’ League must be the watchdog of the city,” she declared. “It is a good thing for Vancouver that we have such an organisation. I wish the League the best of luck in the work which has not been tackled by any other organisation.” LABOR BACKED Support of organised labor in its fight to obtain fair wages and con- ditions 2nd instructions to mem- bers to patronise umion stores was ene important resolution passed unanimously.
