SUFFRAGE MEET ITALY TO MAKE REJECTS “EQUAL RIGHTS’ BUNK Reactionary Patty to|Imperialism ‘Lead a Split PARIS, June 1.—With the refusal of the International Suffrage Alliance to ‘admit the representatives of the Na- tional Women’s Party of the United States, the alliance rejected this party as an affiliate because of its champ- foning of one of the most reactionary programs ever couched in the deceit- ful language of reformism—‘“Equal rights for women in industry.” This was not accomplished after eS bitter fight by the American League of Women Voters, who opposed the admission of the National Women’s Party. The women of the league ex- posed the nature of the “equal rights” proposal, which is, to abolish all pro- tective laws for women and girls in industry, permitting them even when pregnant, or naturally weaker phys- ically than men, the “equal right” to work long hours, at night work, for wages from which the abolition of minimum wage laws would take the bottom out. The National Women’s Party suc- ceeded in walking off with a split by taking a small section of the British delegation. When this withdrew, the leader of the British delegation de- manded that the conference give a vote of confidence in its executive, which carried by large majority. The National Women’s Party was refused by a vote of 49 to 123, and after the vote of confidence in the executive, the conference rejected the direct proposal of “equal rights.” Globe Encircler Is on — Way Across Russia MOSCOW, U.

Italy’s population is growing at the rate of 500,000 a year with no sign of it being chacked in the future. The African colonies are unsuitable for Italian, agrictlters. exnioitation._und though Mussolini is putting in a claim for a share in the loot of the Riff, this also is mining land. It is the general opinion that Mus- solini, when he goes to the meeting of the league of nations council this fall, is going to vote against the ad- mission of Germany into the league unless France and England agree to give Italy a “mandate” over some of the former German colonies. “Nations must think imperially if they really wish to get on in the world,” were the words of Mussolini, in the senate yesterday.
