GERMAN HOUSEWIVES
BARRED AS LABOR UNION
,Pru..ian Parliament Holds They
Must Be Designated as Employ

Berlin, Sept. 1.-THE National
Association of German Housewives
has asked the .Prussian Parliament
to recognize it formally as a labor
union, but the request has been de-
MIL because che organizations con-
sk7tution failed to specify whether
the housewives were employers or
zmployes.
The rejection disclosed differences
IF opinion among the, members Of
The various branches, some assert
ag that women who did their own
Asusework :werei employees, while
housewives having maids or other
hired servants were employers ys.I
Objection, particularly by peasant
nembers, to classifying married ewo-
mem whose household duties were
Rerformed by servants as "profes-
sionaI .wives,". brought about an sat
teupt to evade the issue by the use Of
ne words professional calling" in
stead of Iaborers, in the constitution.
The Parliamentary spokesman stat
ID that "an organization must justi-
II under the statutes by it's activi-
tses the right to be- designated as
composed of professionals"
In relation to the associations ac-
iyities, which extend virtually; to
m towns and hamlets, with thous-
ands of members, there is much dis
euzsion as to whether an attempt
viii be made to enforce full demands
By strikes, lockouts or arbitration.
H Is even suggested that the ultra
radicals supersede the present con-
seryative officials. There is pro-
liability that husbands will be asked
TO put their wives on a salary and
recognize woman's equality by shar-
ing in the work of cooking, washing
and caring for the children.

CONFERENCE BASED ONLY
ON TRUTH. AND REALITY"

Dublin, Sept. 1S.-Sinn> Fein
wants an Irish peace conference
based on "truth and reality,"r Presi-
dent De Valera telegraphed Premier
Lloyd Geogse Saturday.
De Vaera's message was short,
but it was hailed here as keeping
open the door to conference be-
tween Irish and British representa-
tives.
De Valera's telegram was a reply
to the one sent by Lloyd George
from, Gairaoch, Scotland, in which
the British premier said that com
ference would be impossible If Irish
emissaries insisted on attending as
representatives Of a Sovereign" ma
ton. Lloyd George said he would
not abandon this principle.
De Valera. in his reply said:
"We have not asked you TO aDan-
don any principle. Our one object is
a conference on the basis of truth
and reality, to secure the results the
VITO islands ardently desire"
De. Valera's message was in reply
to one from Lloyd George sent ear
lier in the day in which the premier
reiterated that the Irish delegates
could not be received at a confer
ence as representative of an inde-
pendent state, on the ground that al
legiance to the king was the basic
fabric which holds the British en-
.pire together.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Internal
Revenue. Bureau Officials frankly &C.
knowledged today that heads Of fam.
lilies, on filing Of notification with To-
cal revenue collectors, may manu-
facture 200 gallons of wine yearly
for. home use.
.Treasury regulations making effec-
tive such provision of the law were
issued by Internal Revenue Com
missioner Roper with the approval OF
Secretary McAdoo in October, 1918,
and because of the general lack of
public knowledge respecting the pro-
vision, Congress never has enacted
legislation multiplying it, officials said.
The law applies specifically to ex-
emption from payment of tax, offici-
ais pointed out, but in its applica-
ton makes manufacture Of wine at
home possible, provided the manu-
facture is by the head of family
and. the wine produced be not sold or
otherwise removed from the place Of
manufacture.

Regards for Her Chill
dren.

NEW YORK, April 2o.-Intimate
affairs in the life Of Mrs. Helen FL
wood Stokes were related ~ her
mother. Mrs. Emma Miller, on the
witness stand today In the-trial OF
the divorce suit Of W. q. d. Stokes.
The incidents were introduced to
show that Mrs. Stokes was an ideal
mother to her children and to refute
charges that she could BY any
chance have had any relation with
one Of the correspondents.
Mrs. Miller said that when she
heard of the marriage OF her
daughter to lthe millionaire she
said, she has thrown her life
away"
Hal Bnlig was never more at
tentive to Helen than to Beatrice
and Marcella, my other daughters.
His attitude toward her was that
of brother to sister," said Mrs. Mil
Ter.
This was her reply when she was
asked by Mrs. Stokes attorneys to
describe the department of Billig,
one of the correspondents.
Mrs. Miller also said that Hal Bill
lig and his mother had visited the
Miller home in Denver for months
at a time and she was so enabled
to note the relationship existing
between the young man and her
daughter. With several emphatic
mods, Mrs. Miller characterized as
absolutely false" the testimony of
Juliette Gassner. q one-time nurse
to the Stokes children, who had
stated that she had seen Billig en-
brace and kiss Mrs. Stokes on the
stairway Of the Miller home.

LONDON, April 20.-According to
authorities on the situation the
British government has no fear OF
not being able to keep the nations
coal needs supplied, even If the
strike continues The normal out
put of coal in Great Britain is from
200. 900. 900 to 25o.000.ooo tons. Ex-
ports are about 100,00o,000 tons
There is plenty OF coal obtainable
from mines all over the world, even
IL the British mines are closed in
definitely. There is enough on hand
in England to last for three months
If the present system of reduced
consumption is maintained.
The chief trouble is that many
manufacturing plants had only a
small supply on hand when the
strike was declared. Yorkshire
wooden mills possessed only a
weeks supply.
The government is planning to
start community kitchens for the
sale of hot food, thus economizing
household coal.
Both sides are marking time
pending Fridays conference. The
South Wales men have instructed
their delegates to press the national
miners federation to accept Frank
Hodges resignation.
Lord Gainford, who is leading the
owners. said the owners new offer
would probably mean an average OF
ten shillings over the prewar wages
