GERMAN HOUSEWIVES ' BARRED AS LABOR UNION < Prussian Parliament ' Holds They Must Be Designated as Employers or Employes. Berlin, Sept. 17.?The National Association of German Housewives kxs asked the Prussian Parliament recognize it formally as a laboi mion, but the request has'been de'because the organization's con dilution failed to . specify whethei the housewives* were employers 01 ' aaployes.

In relation to the association's activities, which extend virtually tc all towns and hamlets, with thous' ands of'members, there is much di^ evasion as to whether an attempt . -*31 be made to enforce full demands ftj strikes, lockouts or arbitration, ft is even suggested that the ultraradicals supersede the present conservative officials. There is a probability that husbands will be asked t* put thetr wives on a salary and reeogn^e woman's equality by shar!ing in the work of cooking, washing and caring for the children.
