WOMEN DISAPPOINT
OUR LADY ASTOR, NJ. l.

LOND0N-(By Mail TO United
Press. LADY Astor is disappointed
in women.
And she told them so in speech
which she made to masses of them
at the opening of the Engllshwoman's
Exhibition.
Il am glad that the days of the
clinging. dependent woman are over,;'
she said. When was a child I used
to read about herones who tainted
at the sight Of rat and wondered
II would grow up like that"
However, while admitting that wo-
men have outgrown these puerilities
she deplored their lack of logic in the
matter of dress.
This Is testing time for women,
she continued, "but when walk down
Bond street and see the way they
iVoo, 'hihh tHcy nave utcu leSttu
and have failed. What should we
think IL men changed the length of
their trousers every year?" she asked.
Lady Astor appealed to the women
to dress more senslbly. as men do.
Her idea seemed to be that If their
skirts reached logical conclusion,
their brains might get there some
day, too.
Another grudge which Lady Astor
has against women Is their absolute
lack of loyalty. She declared that
women would not vote for women,
just because they were owmen-
whereas men never fefrained from
voting for a member of their own
sex merely because he was of that
sex.
Judging from opinions expressed by
members of the audience, most of the
women there were entirely in accord
with Lady Astor. They agreed that
in the main women were foolish crea-
lures.
That is why they vote for men.

UNIONIZE INDIA, is PLAN
OF BRITISH LABORITES
BY Webb sIiller.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON--(By MaiD-A gigantic
labor union is being organized in In
da by leaders who frankly state that
they will attempt to use the strike
weapon to obtain political indepen-
dence for India. Ben Spoor, British
labor Member OF Parliament, who is
going to India in the dhGl fclc Of
emissary of the English labor Party
and as a delegate to the ITdia Na-
tional Congress, which meet at Nag
por, December Is, is very optimistic
about the spread OF unionism in the
lard of the Rajlh.
''Thc Labor Federation of India is
two-bladed sword with which the
Indian workers can sever the ties of
British rule an deconom;c slavery at
the same stroke, declared Spoor to
TIE United Press. "The Federation
viii speedily enroll millions of work
crs, as all that is necessary is to.nr-
ganize the different castles, which are
themselves really iron bound unions,
simply awaiting leadership.
The strike is = rev weapon in In
dian hands, but they are beginning
to feel its power. whi:h accounts for
the epidemic Of GtrilIeS now breaking
over India. | have no doubt but
that India will see the growth OF the
biggest centralized union in the world
within the next year or two and it is
natural that direct action should fol.
low along the lines nf struggle for
political freedom. The British Laoor
Party is in closest accord with the
aims of the Indian labor movement
and am empowered to extend them
our iiaternal greetings and promise
of assistance
The National IrdiaH Congress, one
OF the biggest political organizations
in the world, with membership of
over seven millions pledged 10 work
for Indias freedom, has pledged its
resources to aid the laborites, accord
ing to Secretary BLIZZARD. of the Brit
ish Committee OF the Congress.
"The fact that some of our mem
bers are in the capitalist class will
not prevent us extending cooperation
to the Indian labor movement" he
said. 1--WE expect the Labor Fedora
tiOn OF India to become our most ef-
fective ally. We have backed Gandhi
and his non-violent non-co-operatlon.
ut naturally this is a slow way of
arousing the national consciousness.
India is unquestionably lin the mood
for radical organization to assume
leadership"
