SUFFERING REAL
 FLOR|D|ANS SAY
Legislature to Meet to Provide
 Relief in Crisis

Washington, Oct ? dP>-A rift In the lute of the campaign to assem- ble q S5.000.000 relief fund for hur- ricane victims was apparent today with the direct charge of John Barton Payne, chairman of the Am erican Red Cross, that officials and real estate men of that state had nullifed the effort by continued at tempts to depreciate reports of suf- fering and damage.
 The charge was characterized as amazing" by Governor John w.. Martin, at Sebring, while Mayor F. C. Romfh of Miami and Frank B. Shuts. chairman of the executive committee of the citizens relief con- mittee, declared that the need is acute and genuine" and Senator Park Trammell at Lakeland said that a special session of the legis- lature would be necessary 10 relieve suffering and rehabilltate the state.
 Chairman Payne said that, despite the efforts to minimize the damage. which he attributed to Governor Martin, Mayor Romfh and others, he felt duty-bound to continue the campaign for funds. Of the S5,CoO,- 900 estimated to be necessary a tritte more than s3,O0o,oo0 has been col lected.
 Red Cross officials In Florida, he said, had reported the greatest re- lief crisis in the United States since the San Francisco earthquake and fire, listing 5000 homes as destroyed and 1S,OOO families poverty-stricken, despite the efforts to minimize the losses.
 Persistent reports that the need as set forth by the Red Cross does not exist, James l.. Fieser, vice. chairman of the Red Cross, report cd to headquarters, have hampered relief work greatly, while Chairman Barton declared that the "poor peo- pie who suffered are regarded as of less consequence than the hotel and tourist business in Florida.
 Real estate people, here and else where" he continued, "have given out repeated statements to the effect that the damage was slight; that Florida had been practically unaf- fcCted."
 As an example Of the lethargy overhanging the Florida relief cam paign, in the Red Cross noted that only S3,000.000 had been raised to date, as compared to the S1l, l,00O,oOO contributed for the Japanese earth quake victims, the first $2,O0O,0OO Of which had been subscribed in the opening days of the collection.
 Mir. Payne's statement was con- tained in telegrams to C. c. Pinck- nev, chairman of the Richmond, Va. Red Cross chapter and in corres- pondence with Mayor Romfh, Pinck- ney wired that Richmond officials were considering with drawing S1o.0no check sent to Miami on the strength of a letter signed by Mayor Romfh giving as his conviction that a "very exaggerated idea of condi- tions had been created
 Mayor Bright of Richmond order cd the check held up until he learn- cd "Who is right-the boosters or the relief workers"

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 1.-THE Women's
Guild of Empire is "out to educate
women and teach them that they
must think for themselves on in
dustrial problems, and not be led like
a flock of Sheep" declares Lady
Muriel Gore Browne, the newly
elected president.
The guild is pledged to combat Com
munism and prevent strikes and lock-
outs by means of arbitration. But
Lady Muriel also says one of the
chief objects is to secure the secret
ballot for men in all industrial
disputes.
Would End Strikes.
This, we believe. will end strikes" 4"
Lady Muriel declares. Most men do
not want strikes and would vote for
a peaceful settlement by arbitration.
But 1 go still further. I think women
should have the right to vote in labor
disputes. They suffer more by strikes
than the men. 1t is they who have

family on meager trike pay. There

Lady Muriel says the Women's
Guild has launched a nationwide
campaign which is gaining strength
every day. and hopes the movement
may be made worldwide. Both Lady
Murel and Mrs. Drummond, the
creator of the guild, later hope to go
to America and enlist the wives of
American workers in similar move
ment.
Often in America.
Lady Muriel is no stranger to
America as she has been there many
times. She is a daughter Of the
seventh Earl of Dunmore, who was a
lordin-waiting to Queen Victoria. Her
mother was Lady Gertrude Coke.
daughter of the second Earl of Leices-
ter. Her brother. the present Earl Of
Dunmore, won the Victoria Cross for
gallant deeds in the South African
war. SO there is fighting blood in
Lady Muriel's veins. Her husband is
Col. Harold Gore Browne.
Lady Muriel became interested in
woman suffrage as a result of the self
sacrifice which she saw women of all
classes make during the Great War.
After women obtained the ballot she
allied herself with the Guild of En-
pire and has since held Office and per-
.sonally managed campaigns to Obtain
funds for the movement.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON June 12.-Copies of the
Murillos, Rubens and Velasquez In
the Dulwich Gallery will never be
worked off on succeeding generations
as originals because the officials IN
control of the gallery will not permit
artists to make copies on canvasses
the same size as the original pictures.
Americans visit the Dulwtch Gallery
in large numbers during the tourist
season and seem to be more familiar
with the masterpieces than British
visitors are. The gallery is attached
to Dulwich College. 1t was established
in 1910, with pictures originally col
lected by a Polish king.
At the national gallery in London
students are not allowed to make
copies of pictures until their canvass
has been stamped by a gallery official
in such a manner that the copy will
always be clearly branded as such.
