piece OF legislation that has ever been
offered in Congress will be introduced
within a few days simultaneously in
the House and the Senate.
1t is known as the Equal Rights
bill. and is backed by the National
woman's Party. 1t seeks to abolish
at one stroke all political and social
disadvantages of women.

vided in the bill:
All political offices to be open to

Government commissions and special
bodies, such as the Interstate Com
merce Commission, Railway Labor
Board, and Federal Power Commis-
sion.

a department of public welfare.
The right of women to choose their
nationality regardless OF the national
ity Of their husbands.
Equal rights for girl students TO
scholarships in this country and to
foreign schools and universities
Mothers to have equal rights with
fathers in the control OF minor chill
dren.
Wares for women workers equal
to those of men in the same class
OF wark.
Active suffragists declare they
will get this bill through the pres
ent Congress at any cost. and assert
that the national suffrage amend
ment is meaningless thing until
the proposals contained In the bill
are enacted into law.
The bill will be introduced In the
House by Representative Fess, Re-
publican, of Ohio. and In the Senate
by Senator Curtis, Republican, of
Kansas.
