California ERA vote blocked by Senate Rules Committee
The Senate Rules Committee rejected a third time a resolution to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment for women in California. After long hearings the all male panel sent the measure under submission by 44 to 0. Assemblyman Karabian said he would seek a discharge petition though prospects are dim. Several women’s groups urged protection of statutes for three million female workers, warning ERA passage could threaten existing laws.
