Eugene Speicher's prize picture is
prominently placed in gallery H. 1t is
a striking piece of realism rendered In
a manner which, however, is not alto
gether pleasing and distinctly less pow
erful than his realistic Interpretation OF
"Jonn Hommel-Quarryman," which
occupies place of honor in gallery g,
where have hung in previous years the
most notable pictures shown in these
always notable exhibitions. Eugene
Speicher is essentially painters paint

invariably dull and heavy and without
charm.
Next to Mr.. Speichers prize picture
hangs a painting by Miss Catherine G.

portrait of himself standing before

by Frederick j. Waugh, flanking an ex-

In gallery I of conspicuous interest
is Cecilia Beaux's portrait of Dean
Bratenahl of our Washington Cathe-
dral painting in which the intangible
personality of the individual dominates
physical aspect, something rarely
achieved in painted portrait. Here,
too is Albert Groll's dramatic picture
"Christodel Monte" an interesting va
ration from his familiar desert pic
lures. Here are two works by Charles
W. Hawthorne, "The Captains Wife"
and "The Boy" the latter peculiarly
significant for the same quality found
in the portrait of Dean Bratenahl, but
rendered quite differently.

It is impossible even to think Of
italian business women without taking
Fascism into consideration Strange is
the comparison between the activities
and the morale of these daughters of
Italy, the mother of all Latin races. and
the women of her offshoots, France and
Belgium. For whatever else may be
said, one meets In Italy the most exhil-
arating and the most exhilarated group
of business women to be found on the
Continent today. How much Of their
enthusiasm and vigor is attributable to
the women themselves, how much to
Premier Mussolini, none can say
They are fired with a freshness, q
spirit and a confidence which makes all
things seem possible. And perhaps not
without cause. For Italian women hold
administrative positions in business and
| philanthropic concerns, are practicing
medicine and law and, dn fact. are In
practically every line of work.
Under the Fascist regime both men

American influence.
One would expect to find similar re-
straints among the business women of
Belgium, for theirs also is Latin
country and temperament. And one
does-only more so. For Belgium has
no great mecca for tourists, largely
American, from which foreign customs
and ideas may radiate. A hundred
thousand Americans live In Paris and
100000 visit France each year. These
must have very definite and TAR
reaching influence upon French stand
ards. Because Belgium Is not subjected
to this or a similar influence. her
women seem much more tightly bound
by the strictly conventional life.
There remains here definite traces
Of the old social frown upon the woman
who works. Many do work-because
they must-but there is a somewhat
npologetic air about the whole thing
A young American girl who married
a Belgian man became restless and
wanted to enter business. But because
of the social disapproval she could not
begin in Brussels and was compelled
10 seek easier entrance in Paris. Aft
er she had established herself there
she could return as a journalist to
Brussels.
However, the business lives, if not
che regulations, of husbands are shared
bv some wives. They are bankers, shop
Keepers, journalists, publicists. Many
women, unmarried because of the war,
teach. A few, like Nine. de Munter-
Iatinis, are attorneys.
on the whole, however, one is i'm
messed with the seeming apathy OF
fhe Belgian women. King Albert is a
wise and broad-minded ruler. The
Queen has made personal sacrifices for
the advancement of her sex. 1t would
seem a propitious time for the advance
.nent of women in the business world
perhaps their evident interest in Amert-
can organization may point the way to

ment for the whole state is 1000
the politicians, the police, and the
entire city administration is con-
trolled by the Amoskeag Mills, and
the election inspectors are challeng-
ing the signatures wholesale.
The action of the New England
authorities in trying to keep the
Workers (Communist) Party off
the ballo tbs a reflex of the New
Bedford and Fall River strikes and
the activity of the Party and it's
membership in these bitter labor
struggles. The Communists in both
cities have given leadership and en-
couragement to the militant rank
and file in the fight against the mill
bosses. AS in other states the au-
thorities are not interfering with
the socialist parry, which is support
ing the reactionary bureaucrats of
the Textile Council of New Bed
ford, who enjoy the protection of
the police in their policy of betray-
ing the strikers.
In the election campaign conduct
ed by the Workers (Communist)
Party turnout the country, Trach-
tenberg said, the mask is being torn
from the ugly face of capitalist
democracy. In violation of their
own laws, the capitalists are at
tempting to keep the Communist
ticket off the ballot, lest the exploit
ed workers should be able to vote
for a Party that stands for their
real interests. The difference in at
titude of the employing classes to-
wards the revolutionary Workers
tCommunist) Party. on one side and
the purely parliamentarian, pacifist
socialist party, on the other, is a
tribute to the progress being made
by the Communists in modifying the
workers for the class struggle.
The prospect of a well-organized
political party of revolutionary la
Dor, with program that calls for
the organization of the unorganized

lied workers, as well as the organi-
cation of the militant workers into
the Workers (Communist) Party, is
giving the ruling classes attacks of
nerves. The attempt to keep the
Party off the ballot will only have
the effect of increasing the activi-
ties of the members, Trachtenberg
said, and making them more deter
mined than ever to fight to put the
Party ticket on the ballot, to keep
it on until election day, and to wage
a militant election campaign be-
tween now and November, with the
object in view of strengthening the
Party for the struggles ahead.

Department of Justice in Washing

In the State of Kansas the war on
the Communists was not confined to
an attempt to throw the Party off
the ballot. Leading members of the
Workers (Communist) Party were
arrested, including Hugo Oehler,
District Organizer for District 10,
who has done splendid work in get
ting the Party ticket on the ballot
not only in Kansas, but in neighbor-
ing states. Oehler was arrested with
others and charged with violation
of the criminal syndicalism lew,
their particular offense being con-
Quoting open-air meetings in front
of the Cudahy Packing Company's
plant in Kansas City.
In Texas, the assistant secretary
of state ruled the Party off the
ballot on the ground that at is not
shown that the Workers (CommNn-
ist) Party is state political organ
ization, having polled in the last
election more than 10000 votes and
less than 100000 votes for its nomi-
nee for Governor of Texas"
Texas Discrimination.
That the Workers iCommunist)
Party is being Disseminated against
in Texas is shown by the fact that
the steps taken by B. H. Lauderdale,
chairman of the Party State Execu-
tive Committee, were the same as
those taken by the American Party,
organized by former Governor Fer
guson in 1920. Of course, the Amer
lean Party was not working class
party, while the Workers. (Commun-
ist) Party is.
In Springfield, Mass, the local
authorities refused to accept Com
munist petitions for filing, and the
election committees everywhere in
the state are protesting high per-
cehtage of the signatures. This
compels the Communists to collect
three or four times as many sigma
lures as the legal requirement.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. 7-Ameri-
can oil investors and corporation
heads are rejoicing today over the
decision of DIR. Jose Manuel PUG
Casauranc that henceforth in its
dealings with the American and
other oil companies the Mexican
government will consider oil as a
public utility.
The oil interests interpret this as
an end to the petroleum war be-
tween the government and the for
eigners which the Mexican supreme
court in number of rulings had
already gone far to decide in favor
of the Americans. They further
see in it a virtual surrender of the
petroleum resources of Mexico into
the hands of the powerfully en-
trenched American exploiters and a
complete abandonment of the prin-
ciple of the right of the American
people to the sub-soil products
around which the entire struggle re-
volved.
Secretary PUG Casauranc made
precise explanation of a number of
points involved in the present rul-
ing. He declared that in lieu of
submitting oil claims, drilling per-
mits, or pipeline franchises or.other
petroleum company documents to a
rigorous examination, his depart
ment will accept company decu-
ments without reservation, consid-
ering them legally drawn up" He
stated further that if they were not
so drawn it was the business of the
courts to decide. Prompt action in
granting favors to American cor
porations was also promised by the
secretary, and he assured them they
would be accommodated with all
legal facilities.
Approximately 100 applications
for confirmatory concessions are re-
ported to be pending at the present
time.

Workers (Communist Party a

interests of the capitalist class.
These fascist organizations are

Fascists Active in Nebraska.
In Nebraska the American Legion
and the Veterans of Foreign Wars
are leading the fight to throw the
Workers (Communist) Party ticket
off the ballot. The Communist petit
tons were filed after a convention
held in Omaha on Aug. 49,. which
wa sattended by the required mum
Der of citizens, and the required
number of signatures were collected.
Six hundred and Eighty-three per-
sons signed the roll, which was 1873
more than was necessary according
to law. Tho the law says that 500
persons must be present at a meet
ing to launch new party, a SUI
preme court decision of 1912 held
that all of them need not be physi-
cally present at the gathering and
that if they sign the rosters of mem
bers subsequently, that is sufficient.
The Sun, of Omaha, carried news
story on August 81 which declared
that in default of a protest filed
within five days, Secretary of State
Marsh would have no other recourse
but to accept for filing the petitions
of the Workers (Communist) Party.
The posts of the American Legion
and Veterans of Foreign Wars at
Lincoln then protested to the secre-
tary of state, and at the Legion con-
vention, held in Grand Island on
Aug. 20, R. A. Kirkpatrick, chair
man of the Americanization Com
mittee of the Legion, spoke on the
menace" of Bolshevism and de-
clared that a grave danger confront
ed the Legion.
This attack followed on the heels
of Governor Adam McMullen's warn
ing that Communist propaganda was
making great inroads among the
youth of Nebraska.
"Here in Nebraska" Kirkpatrick
said, 'for the first time we have the
Workers Party on the ballot. Also
16 other states have this party to
deal with politically this year."
