.:WOMAN'$ PARTY"
STARTS NEW DRIYL
Demands Absolute Sex Equality' in
Federal Service
"BIAS" CHARGE MADE
Organizing, Women in Government
Departments to Fight ' for its
Platform
Washington, Oct. 81.-An effort is
being made by the National Woman's
Party leaders here, who are nearly
all former "militant" suffragists, to
start 'a bliglight within the govern
i ent civil service for absolute equal
ity of women and men employes, with
regard not only to compensation, but
as to recognition of eligibility for
positions which are to be filled,
whether by promotion or by em
ployment of new personnel.
It is declared by- spokesmen for
the woman's party that hundreds
of women workers in the 'govern
mont departments here attended
and participated enthusiastically in
a meeting in the party headquarters
when impassioned speeches were
made , against the alleged existing
system of discriminating against
women employes of Uncle Sam.
Mrs. Isabelle Gill, one of the sec
retaries of the woman's party or
ganization, is said to have partic
m'aly stirred her audience by call
ing for "an incessant drive," like
that of war workers, to charge the
conditions which are regarded as
giving men the advantage in fed
eral employment. S'ie charged that
discriminations against women be
gins with the civil service exami
nations, which, she said she had
reason to believe were stricter for
women than for, men, and that wo
men were being kept out of ad
ministrative positions and of the
higher-paid places because of their
sex.
After Mrs. Gill had spoken, a tem
porary organization to inaugurate
the drive or "gar," as some of
them call it. In this temporary
organfzation there is a woman- rep
resenting the female workers in ev
-ery department of the government
-- it is asserted. . The following plat
a form ,settihg forth the demands for
which the drive is proposed, was
adopted at the meeting and given
out for publication:
"We demand that all examinations
in the civil service shall be open to
women .on equal terms with men; that
a single register shall be kept of men
and women from which appointments
are made in order of rating, regard
less of sex, an dthat no new ewamina
tion shall be held until this eligible
list iust be supplemented.
"That women shall no longer he
exoluded -from executive, adminis
trative, and high-salaried positions,
and that there shall be no discrim
inations against women in (a) ap
pointment, (b) assignment, (c) ti
tle, (d) prompotion, (e) salary.
"That there shall be a special
board or committee in every- subdi
vision of each department and in
dependent organization, of which
women shall have equal represen
tation with men, to fix salaries
and to pass on all reorganization
appointments ,assignments, ratings,
promotions, demotions, transfers
and dismissals.
"That there shall be no discrim
t' ination against women because of
marriage."
The last paragraph of the plat
form comes into direct conflict
with a policy which has been adop
ted in some of the branches of the
federal service to discourage the
employment of women Whose hus
bands arc also oin the government
rolls, I or arc elsewhere employed
and capable of supporting their
wives. There have been instaiices
here in which whole families have
been on the government payroll In
clerical capacities. WheCier or not
the government should permit hus
band and wife to be on its payrolls
at the .same time is not necessar
lly a question of sex -discrimination,
whatever may be the case as to
the other planks in the newv wo
man's party platform.

COTTON BEING HELD, I$. CLAIM
Columbia, Oct. 31.-Announcing
that $14,000,000 worth of cotton had
been added to the stock in State wa're
houses in October, which he declared
an indication that farmers of this
State are not selling their product
now, J. Clifton Rivers, State ware
house commissioner today issued a
statement, in which he made plans
for extending the operations of the
State warehouse to receiving all non
perishable farm products,. and - pro
ducts-that are made so b ycanning or
other process.
The State warehouse are now
receiving for storage grain, peas,
velvet beans and other products,
which according to Mr. Rivers' state
ment, can be stored and receipted for
as efiectually as cotton.
"In the near future," the state
ment goes on "the commissioner
expects to put on a special inspec
tor for this work, who will be
able to develop plans to carry out
the law as recently enacted, en
larging the scope of the State
warehouse activities so as to in
clude any farm product which by
its nature is non-perishable. This
plan will work in connection with
agencies now instituted in this
State for diversified agricutlure
and be a part in the plan for im
proving the marketing organiza
tions of the State. The system is
working together withb the Cotton
Growers' Co-operative Association
in this State in the storing of cot
ton at their assembling points and
properly receipting and caring for
it until needed for concentration
and sale. This gives the associa
tion the benenit of the State re
ceipts which epables themi to. prop
erly finance their organization and
also gives them the benefit of the
State system of inspection counrt
ing and reporting on their cotton."

THINKS EX-KAISER
IS KIND-IAEARTED
London, Oct. 31.-Princess Her
mine of Reuss thinks her finr.nce, the
former German kaiser, is one, of the
most generous, kind-hearted men that
ever lived and she is sure she is go-.
ing to be the happiest woman in the
world after their, marriage next Sun
day, That, at least, is what she told
thd', correspondent of the Daily Ex
prcs today.
"I know I love the kaiser," she
said. "Surely he is not so rich that
it can be said that I am marrying
him for his money."
The princess said a lot of other
women were anxious for the heart
of the former German emperor and
described how mad some of them
were with envy-and jealousy when her
engagement to William was noised
around the world }y telegraph and
cable.
"They did their best to hinder
our engagement by intrigue," she
said. "I had a hard fight. All of
my friends and so called friends
had their own plans. You know,
several prominent women including
the widow of Colonel Von Rochow
thought of marrying the kaiser."
Talks of Romance
In her most charming manner
the princess conversed with the
correspondent at the old Silesian
castle which is her ancestral home.
She told him a little about the ro
mance and of her plans for the future.
"It was like this," she said. "Some
friends, who were in attendance to
the kaiser and who knew of our child
hood attachment invited me to his
home at Doorn The crown prince
came to Doorn also and ira the friend
liest sort of way he chatted with me
about the affair of the heart. With'a
laugh he said: '"You know, my father
is a very good man, but sometimes
he is hard to g~et along with."
"A fewv weeks later the crown
princo came to talk to me again.
He said: "Now I have watched you
all this time ,and I feel It mny duty
to tell you my warnings were all
wrong. You surely know how to
manage people and the wvholo situa
tion hero."
MAY HAVE TROUBLE
Lon'dotn, Oct. 31.-The so-dalled
co-operative pact of governmental
conservatives and Lloyd Geor'ge and
the national Liberals seemed near
a smashup that may force Lloyd
George to carry out his throat to
wage a finish light on the men who
brought about his downfall. Tho
trouble seems to have occurred
'when conservatlve candidates bob
bed up to oppose the candidates of
Lloyd George carrying a banner in
places regarded as immune from
Tory attacks.

ITALY SAYED IS CRY
OF OLD ROMANS
Veterans With Dimmed Eyes Recall
Activities of Garibaldi
MANY WEEP FOR JOY
Triumphant Entry Into Rome Marks
End of Bloodless
Revolution
Rome, Oct. 31.--The triumphant
entry of Fascisti troops into Rome
today was the apotheosis of Italy's
bloodless revolution. Old Romans
who witnessed the entry- of the sol
diers of the King of Italy into the
capital of his newly welded King
doin on September 20, 1870, wept
for joy and vowed that October 31,
1922, will forever mark a great
epoch in Italy's national life. For
in 1870 they said Italy was born,
today she has been saved from Bol
sheviki.
The younger generation, which
in a few days accomplish the tre
mendous change in Italy's political
aspect, will look back upon the
country leader, as those veterans
with dimmed eyes recalled Gari
baldi.
The day broke clear and fine.
, "Facismo Sun"
"It is a Facismo sun" said a
sturdy youn gblack-shirted peasant
from plains of Piedmont as he led
the Piedmont contingent into Bor
ghese Park where 15,000 Fascisti, "
representing all the provinces in
the kingdom from Northern Vene
tia and Lombardy to Southern Ga
labria and Sicily assembled.
With military precision they
formed and automatically fell into
the places assigned to them mark
view ed youths with set,, determin
ed tlace, upon which shone the light
of victory, all weal ing the unbi
quitous black shirt, They were
armed only with riding crops ani
buldgeons, one man from Anacona
swinging a baseball bat.
Lined With Flags
Briskly they swun int L.ne
to the tunes of innumerable 'bands
the Roman contine, ..:L 1,ling; the
way along the Pii.'ian 1111 lRF:d
to the Piazza Del Popolo to the
Porto Del Popolo. T1'1; ,r-,.y ~f~ ;se
people entered .h Kingdom's capi
tal through the gate tf the pe'.ple
into the people's squar:. tren
marched down the Corso Umberto,
Rome's main street, lined with
flags.
Straight through the heart of the
city the procession continued, the
youths never looking to the right.
or left and acknowledging the ac
claamtions and cheers only by sing
ing Fascisti marching songs. Thus
they reached the monument of Vic
tor Emmanuel and the tomb of the
unknown soldier.
After the ceremony was conclud
ed at the tomb of the unknown sol
dier, the Fascisti proceeded to the
Via Nationale, Rome's national
highway, past the ruins of the ear
liest wars and reached the Quir
inial Square, where they were
formed in fre'it of the palace.
FIGHT BEING MADE
TO HALT SENTENCE
Columbia, Oct. 31.-A fight to pre
vent a sentence suspended "during
good behavior" being made operative
by court order was aired in the South
Carolina Supreme Court today. when
the appeal of Isreal Miller. of Chest
er, was argued. According to some
legal opinion, this case involves much
the same question that has been
raised by cour~t orders hlocking the
revpocation by the Governor of pa
"oieA issuied to run "during good
behavior."
Miller was convicted in Chestef
in March, 1921, of violating the
State prohibition law, and was
sentenced to one year at hard la
bor but was given the alternative
of payim ' a fine of $100 and serv
ing th~.ty days the remainder of
the sentence to be suspended dur
ing good behavior. Miller chose the
second couis~e. In January ,1922, he
was charged in the Chester munici
pal court with transporting liquor,
p. - entered a plea of guilty, serv
-g a thirty-day term as a result.
Ordered to Serve
Upon the expiration of his term,
the solicitor had Miller brought
before Judge Bowman, who, after
giving the prisoner an opportunity
to show cause why his suspendled
sentence should not be made op
eratic, ordleredl the dlefendlant to
serve the originmal sentence. Tt was
on appeal from this ordler that the
case reached the Supreme (',urt.
Points included in the argument
of de~fense vere that Judlge Bow
man was Without jurisdiction in
the case; there was no evidence
of other than good conduct except
his plea of guilty in the cIty
cotdrt andl thssolatedl instance, it
waIs contend(edl, did not constitut~e a
violation of the good1 conduct re
quirement; that the defendnnt (lid
not have a jury trial in the city
court, wvhich, it was claimed, was
his right.
We shouldn't destroy the wvooden
vessels. They will come in handy as
