' A well - attended metting under the au pices of the Ross Women's Suffrage Society which is non - militant , and non - party , wa held in the Town Hall on Tuesday evening when two excellent addresses were delivere the important question of Women ' Suffrage by Mrs. Harley , the president o the West Midland Federation , who presided and Mrs. Swanwick , M.A .. of the Nationa Union Executive Committee . on The CHAIRMAN ( Mrs. Harley ) , said she wished to congratulate the Ross Branch or the progress they had made during the year . It was , certainly a most healthy baby , and she hoped it would go on to maturity and become n very flourishing society . doubling and trebling its member- ship during the coming year , hecause as they were no doubt aware , they were just coming to one of the most important years in their fight . She should like first of all to state that the National Union Women's Suffrage Society was non - militant , and they stood for constitutional methods , and did not approve of violence . They were formed to educate the electorate of this country on this question . and she believed that me were now coming to understand and to see the reasonableness of their claim ; and they also believed that there was now the good sense in the men that they were fast coming to see that women should be enfranchised . This was not a party question , and she would say it was now only a question of when they should be enfranchised and how many wo- men would hecome enfranchised . After sneaking of the three classes of people that their society had to deal with - the wob- blers . those who were convinced that the principles of the society were good but would not come out and ioin them , and then the convinced anti - suffragists - she proceeded to explain why women should have the vote . This question of woman suffrage , said Mrs. Harley , was the vital question of their lives .. For those who were engaged in philanthropic work , rescue work , or in the labour work . it was most important that women should have the vote for how could they pro- ceed with such work until they had got in the root of the evil , and it was only by giving women the vote that all such work as this could be of real value . And if the women of this country were given the vote she was confident of this . that the poor people would soon have better homes to live n . and that the world would he made much righter and better for men to liven ( hear . hear ) . They did not want to control the Government . hnt they did want to have a voice in that legislation which vitally affected . the lives and welfare of women ( applause ) .. There was the great problem of the housing question , the protection of the young girls who were going out in the world the unre milk question , all of which greatly affected and interested women . whilst ther would also be able to do a great deal to try and im . prove the social and moral lives of the neonle ( hear , hear . All these questions were of the greatest importance to women , and she di hone ther would all join the local society and come forward to do the best they could to help on the high ideals for which ther were now fighting . She was now going to . pronose this resolution : That this meeting calls upon the Government to introduce mensure for the enfranchisement of women . " and she would ask Mrs. Swanwick to second it ( applause ) . Mrs. SWANWICK , who spoke for over an hors on this subiect , gave some very clear and strong reasons why women onght te have the vote . After sneaking on what she termed the " physical force argument . " by which it was considered he some that mon neht to govern women and that the other half of the notion - the women - should have . no voice in the affairs of government - shel said that this physical force argument was invented to " dish " the women , and until they took into consideration the women it rns impossible to have representative govern . ment , and she verily helieved that the whole course of things would change for the better when the women did have a voice in these matters . Continning , Mrs. Swanwick spoke rith great emphasis on the marriage laws the laws of parentage and maintenanc which she described as bad , in fact the com mission that had been sitting had now - horted for an equality in these things . There were many things , she said , that wer entirely out of the province of men . and it was quite time that the women of England stirred themselves m to stand for their jusf rights . In conclusion , she referred to the lady factory inspectors and the action of the Government in not giving greater support and help to the 14 lady inspectors who now had to look after over 2.000.000 women - a thing which could not be done , and rot ro help was forthcoming . She also criticised the action of Mr. Asquith through breaking his promise to the National Union to get the measure through for the enfranchisement of women , and urged unon them to make this question of women suffrage a real issue at the hert General Election . At the close of Mrs. Swanwick's addresé questions were invited . and a very successfil meeting concluded with a hearty vote of thanks to Mrs. Swanwick and the Chairman .. UP TO THE NECK IN TAR . THIEVES ALARMING EXPERIENCE . A remarkable story is told of two men in Messrs . Cammell Laird and Co.'s shipyard at Birkenhead . They were caught in a tar - pit , and faced with the possibility of death by slow suffocation . At the Birkenhead Police- who court it was explained that the men underwent the ordeal were Charles Smith and Wilfrid James Walden , who Were charged with thefts of brass . It appears that in crossing the shipyard in the dark the two men had not seen a tar pit , which is six feet deep , and had stepped into it . They immediately became fast , but rather than call out for help they endeavoured to struggle for safety . Gradually , however , they sank deeper and deeper , until they were almost waist deep in the tar . Becoming alarmed at their plight , the men then called out for help . In the deserted neighbourhood in which the pit is situated , however , the cries at first went unheeded , and the mat Bank until the tar had reached the neck of one of them . It was at this critical juncture tha their cries for help were leard by some of th workmen on the Corporation destructor These men rushed to the scene , and speedil Bet about the work of rescue One of th would - be rescuers , in his eagerness to rende assistance , also fell into the pit , and ha sunk knee deep before he was hauled out by his comrades . The work of rescue was by m means easy , but with the aid of plauks Smit and Walden were got out of their unfortunat plight , The latter , on finding himself free at once bolted , and suspicions were aroused with the result that Smith was given int custody . Later the tar - pit was searched and a quan tity of brass was found . Walden was arreste and charged along with Smith with havin been found on the enclosed premises Messrs . Cammell Laird and stealing 54b . brass , the property of the firm . When th men were called before the Birkenhead magi trates a timekeeper stated that it took th rescuers three quarters of an hour to ge them out . Had they not been found the would have been suffocated , as the pit w very deep . It was covere Sergeant Hopley said the pit was searche and an overcoat was found . with tar , and the pockets had to be cut i order to remove the brass .
