Prepara tions will be made for representation of Illinois, as well as all other states, at a national conference to Abe held at 'Washington Novoniber 11 and 12 to frame a legislative program. Illinois was selected as the objec tive of the first mission by national headquarters, because "it was ibeliev ed that Illinois was hi a position to affect the entire west and midwest," according to 'liss Pollitzer. Constitutional amendments which the organization is seeking to have passed by all states to guarantee equal political, civil and legal rights for women in each case will contain this clause, according to Miss Pollit zer: "This act will not affect laws regulating the affairs of women in in dustry." This clause was pointed out because the effect of the legislation proposed by the party upon legisla tion designed to safeguard women in industry has been tiestioned. \liss -Pollitzer said that the siupreme court of the United States has repeat edly sustained special welfare legis lation for women even when it was argued that such legislation was in direct violation of the fourteenth amendment to the 'United 'States con stitution. The legal "discrimination" which the party is assailin; has its roots in the old- common law under which a married woman was regarded as a "Femme couverte," or "covered wo man," whose rights were vested in her husband, while he lived. Miss 'Pullit ier stated. "Though the effect of'this legal tradition from feudal times has been modilled in some states by more modern legislation, it survives to a verying degree," she added. "in some states a man can dispose of his wife's inherited property," said Miss Pollitzer. "Laws often give a woman's earnings to her husband, al low him to collect damages for het injuries, and give him the earnings control and custody of their child The woman's party is organizing to light this condition by changing spe ci-icl laws and by changing tradition.' The party has organized 25 profes sional councils, including a home makers council. Mrs. Minnie Mad dern Fiske and Miss Mary Shaw head the theatrical council; Miss Zong Gale, of Portage, Wis., the novelist heads the writers' council; Dr. Mars O'.Malley, clinical director of St Elizabeth's hospital, Washington, tht physicians' council, and .Miss Emma Gillett, dean of the Washington Col lege of Law, 'Washington, the law yers' council. Fourteen women law yers are coniling all state laws ii the interest of the woman's party Miss 'Poilitzer said, to ascertain thi legal status of womer in all th states.
