EQUAL R|GHTSIN
 EVERYTHING BEING
 SOUGHT BY WOMEN
Campaign Organized to Sweep Away All Forms of Discrim- ination-lIIinois Is the
 First Objective
By Associated Press

Chicago, October 14.-To fire the first gun in the midwestern sector in campaign "to sweep away all forms of discrimination against women," Miss Anita Pollitzer of Charleston, s. C., secretary of the re- organized national women's party, has been organizing an Illinois branch of the party. Preparations will be made for representation of Illinois, as we'll as all other states, at national conference to be held at Washington, November 11-12, to frame legislative program.
 Illinois was selected as the objec tive of the first mission by national headquarters because "it was be- lieved that Illinois was in a position 10 affect the entire west and mid west" according to Miss Pollitzer.
 Constitutional amendments which the organization is seeking to have passed by all states to guarantee e equal political, civil and legal rights for women in each case will contain this clause. according to Miss Pol lItizer: This act will not affect laws regulating the affairs of women In industry" This clause was pointed out because the effect of the legis- lation proposed by the party upon le glslation designed to safeguard women in industry has been ques- tiened.
 Miss Poilitzer said that the su- preme court of the United States has repeatedly sustained special welfare legislation for women even when it was argued that such legislation was in direct violation of the fourteenth amendment to the United States con stitution.
 The legal discrimination which the party is assailing has it's roots in the old common law under which a married woman was regarded as a femme covere.' or covered woman, whose rights were vested in her husband while he lived, Miss Pollitizer stated. "Though the effect of this legal tradition from feudal times has been modified in some states by modern legislation, sur wives to varying degree" she add ed.
 Tn some states a man can dispose  Miss Polltzer, Laws often give a womsn's earnings. to her husband. all low him to collect dsmag ges for her in juries, and give him the earnings control and custody of their child The woman's party is organizing to fight this condition by changing specific laws and by changing tradi- ton"
 The party has organized twenty five professional councils, including a home makers council. Mrs. Mn nie Maddern Fiske and Miss Mary Shaw head the theatrical council Miss Zona Gale of Portage, Wis, the novelist, heads the yriters' council pr. Mary O'Malley, clinical director os St. Elizabeths hospital Washing ton, the physicians council, and Miss Emma Killett, dean of the Washing ton College of Law, Washington. the lawyers council Fourteen womer lawyers are compiling all state laws irt the interest of the woman's party Miss Pollitzer said, to ascertain the it gal status of women In all tho states.
