Caffnoy Resolution in Councils
Urges State Convention to
Change Constitution
AVOID INDEPENDENT FIGHT
Copies of a Councllmanie resolution
advocating Immediate revision of the
state constitution by a etate convention
are being prepared today for presenta
tion to members of the lawmaking
bodies when they convene at llarrls
burg next week.
JoscpT P. Gaffney, chairman of the
Joint Codncllraanlc committee on legis
lation that prepared the resolution, dis
claims any intention of interfering with
pending legislation that will be of aid
vto Philadelphia.
No mention is mado of the Woodward
charter revision bill, but the action of
..Councils yesterday in approving the
resolution generally believed to be a
covert effort to break down the strength
of the revisionists.
The plan for a state convention
would cover a period of several years,
and it will be argued that provisions
providing for proposed changes in the
municipal government could best bo in
corporated in a new constitution. Thh
scheme Is the one long agitated by City
Solicitor John P. Connelly and by other
foes of the charter revision measures.
The Gaffney resolution is carefully
worded so as not to draw opposition
from the independents. It recites , that,
while the city and county of Philadel
phia aro co-extensive, considerable con
fusion exists, as the functions of gov
ernment are' administered by various
boards, commissions and 'officers who
exercise governmental functions sepa
rate and independent from the munici
pal government.. Ono government,
clothed with the fullest power, for home
rule is declared to be imperative. Acts
of Assembly and piecemeal amendments
of tho constitution are declared to be
but temporary expedients, nnd that the
real form ot government for tho. city
of Philadelphia con be obtained by re
vision of tho present constitution.

"Whereas, the present law, which

fifty-four hours n week, is not an
adequate safeguard for women against
the fatigue and strain of modern indus
