26 WOMEN IN FIGHT FOR EQUAL RIGHTS Cemand Constitution Shall| Bar Discrimination in Law Between Sexes. A fight for an equai rights amend-| ment to the Constitution to do away | with all legislation discriminating for or against women will be made during the special session of Congress by mem- bers of the National Woman's Party Recalling that the woman's suffrage amendment was passed during an ex- traordinary session of Congress called by President Wilson for consideration of the peace treaty and the League of Naticns convenent, Mabel Vernon, ex- tive secretary of the party, observ Of course, this session is primai for farm relief and tariff, but we fe: that there will be plenty of time fcr consideration of this amendment that | is of such importance to so many women." 2 Branches of the Woman's Party in every State are working through their local organizations, she says, and are approaching their Senators and Repre- sentatives in an effort to gain support for the proposition. Curtis Classed as Favorable. Vice President Curtls was a stanch friend of the amendment when he was a member of the Senate, introduced the resolution there and obtained a hear- ing for it by the judiciary committee. Now that he is Vice President, the sup- Porters of the amendment have heen forced to look for another Senator who , will act as sponsor of the proposal dur- | ing the coming session. ; Representative Magrady, Republican, Pennsylvania, who introduced the reso- lution in the House at the last session, has promited to introduce a similar one in the Seventy-first Congress. Only one of the eight woman mem- bers of Congress, Mrs. Katherine Lang- ley of Kentucky, has definitely pledged her support and vote to the amend- ment, though none of the others has declared against it. Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen, newly elected Representative from Florida, and Mrs. Ruth Pratt, new member from New York, have both said that they were in favor of equal rights, but_they both have objections to proposed changes in the industrial protection now given woman workers. Mrs. Florence Kahn, Representative Car Theft Ring Sent Stolen Machines to Greece, Police Aver By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 26— ‘Wholesale exportation to Greece of high-powered motor cars stolen on the streets of Greater New York was alleged yesterday by detectives who questioned Louis Sciner, 44, of Queens Borough in connection with the shipping of the cars. The police said 36 cars, valued at $125000 and stolen during 1928, had been shipped from Brooklyn to Athens on vessels of the Fabre and Greek lines. The American Minister to Greece has been requested to trace the cars and attempt to recover them. from California; Mrs. Edith N. Rogers, Massachusetts; Mrs. Pearl Oldfield, Arkansas, and Mrs. Mary T. Norton, New Jersey, have all indicated they are friegldly to the proposition, but are -committal on the matter of sup- porting the amendment. The amendment would automatically repeal all State laws giving protection to woman factory workers, such as shorter working hours and freedom from night work. The Woman's Party believes that if there is to be protec- tion, it should be effective for men and women alike, Miss Vernon explains, and that women should not be prevented from getting good jobs by a law which would prohibit their working the same hours that men do. The National League of Woman Voters is opposed to the measure, main- taining that women in industry want the protection afforded them by the State laws. |WOMAN FREED OF MURDER Burma Jackson, Colored, Acquitted on Trial by Jury. Burma Jackson, colored, who claimed she shot in self defense, was acquitted of second degree murder yesterday by a jury in Criminal Division 2 of the Dis- trict Supreme Court. Her shooting of James M. H. Young, colored, at her home. 505 Q street, the night of December 10, 1927, arose out of a quarrel over another woman. She testified in court that Young refused to leave her apartment when so ordered and threatened to “put her in the morgue.” To escape him she ran into her room, where Young followed her. In fear of her life, she testified she shot him. Young died four days later in Emergency Hospital. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C. TUESb'AY, MARCH 26, 1929. GREEKS CELEBRATE FLAG ANNIVERSARY | 108th Anniversary of Raising Col- ors of Independence From Turkey Commemorated. Commemorating the 108th anniver- sary of the raising of the flag of in- dependence, the first outstanding step in the revolution which freed Greece | from Turkey, 1,000 Greek residents of Washington gathered in the Knights of Pythias Hall last night. George T. Thomaides, local attorney, eulogized the Greek heroes who formed the secret soclety whose members had but one purpose, to free their country from the yoke of the Turk. Tribute was paid to Daniel Webster, whose ac- tivity was the principal cause of the United States assisting Greece at the time of the revolution. Hercules N. Papamaniolis, editor of the Greek newspaper Estia, also spoke. Members of the St. Sophia Church and School, under whose auspices the cele- bration was held, presented a program of recitations, music and playlets. Similar celebrations ~were held throughout the United States by Greeks. Plans for a celebration com- memorating the 100th anniversary of the actual freeing of the Greeks to be he:g in Greece next year are being made. NATIONAL TH.EATER ENDS MUSIC CLASH Agreement Is Reached With Mem- bers of Union Regarding Num- ber to Be Employed. By agreement with the local mu- ! sicians’ union, the management of the National Theater Players will employ seven musicians during the first week of April, five for the remaining days of that month and three throughout the Summer. This arrangement terminates the long dispute between the union and the theater management over the hiring of musicians. In a statement made pub- lic today, the theater management said it does not need the musicians and can- not use them, but feels obliged to en- gage them to avoid a general walk-out of stage hands and scenic artists. -— ‘The French press is enthusiastic over the proposed Dover-Calais tunnel under the English Channel.
