C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1922 .: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.

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.

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.

"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."

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."

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.

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.
