WOMEN IN THE
LEGISLATURE
WORK HARD
HELENA. Mont.. May 8— “What
was women’s work in the sixteenth
legislative assembly?” Mrs Maggie
Smith Hathaway, representative in
the lowerhouse, was asked by the As
sociated Press. Mrs. Hathaway’ and
Representative Emma Ingalls, of
Flat-head, county were the only wo
men in the assembly.
Mrs. Hathaway won laurels as a
parliamentarian and presided several
times over the committee of the whole
house.
“Women’s work was two fold.” she
replied, “We prevented passage of bad
bills, as well as repeal of good bills,
and we put some good bills over.
“I began to feel like a detective,

for ‘jokers’ in innocent looking legis

“For instance, I discovered an act
to repeal the age-of- consent law. I
killed it. quickly. There was another
vicious measure dealing with juvenile
delinquency, that would have consign
'd juveniles to common jails, perhaps
long terms while awaiting law.
We also had that axed.
“.My great task,” Mrs. Hathaway
continued, “was to prevent perniciou>
amendment of the Mother’s* Pension
Act, which 1 wrote four years ago.
Amendments as offered would practic
ally have nullified the law. We won
this fight, too."
Mrs. Hathaway spoke of the pro
hibition act passed by this assemble.
“When tin* measure was introduced 'it

“she said.” it was all right, but the
senate extracted some of its teeth and
by the time the house got through
with the law, it ceased to he a prohi

•*As passed, it is purely and simply
a liquor man’s protective act. It re
peals tin* best feature of the Annin
prohibition act. passed two years ago,
and even in a measure repeals the pro
hihition amendment, as sanctioned bv
tin* people, on referendum.”
Mrs. Ingall>’ Vocational School hill
was passed with an appropriation.
Mis. Hathaway put through her hill
for Americanization of the schools and
her measure for equal pay for wo
men in men’s work. Tin* latter is said
to b»* the first law of the sort put on
