The National Association of German Housewives has asked the Prussian Parlalment to recognize it formally as a Isbor tfnion, but the request was denied when It was teamed the organization's constitution had failed to specify whether the housewives were employers or employes. TiiS rejection of the request dis closed differences of opinion among the members of ths various branches, some asserting that women who did their own housework were em- ployes, while housewives having maids or other hired help were employers. Objections, particularly by peasant members, to classifying married women whose household duties were performed by servants as "pro fessional wives, brought about an attempt to evade the Issue by the use of ths words "professional call Ing," Instead of laborers, in the con stitution.

DEMOCRATS ARE IN CONTROVERSY OVERCHAIRMAN Intensive Contest Going on Within Party to Bring About Harmony George White Willing to Re'sign- Oklahoma May Get Job, DAVID I.WRKXCn Vir ioe Mar-uaiette). Washington, Sent.

If. Hoott 1'er. rls, former member of t'ongress from Oklahoma, may be the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee. George the present chairman. Intends to resign if all the factions can sgree on a new chairman who shall not have been identified w.ith the quarrels of the past.

Tbe name of Mr. Ferris is being urged by his friends for that very reason. He was not: present at the San Francisco convention, where the rift between the McAdoo and Cox forces developed, and he has not taken part in the controversies that have developed since that convention. The' public may not know it bul inside the Democratic party the eon-test over the selection of a chairman has going en with the same intensity as might occur on the eve of a national convention. The struggle for control of the party machinery so as to influence the convention of 1924 In Its choice of a Democratic nominee for the presidency has benat bottom responsible tor the Impotence of ths Democrats since their Overwhelming defeat last autumn.

Although every consideration of strategy would seem to Indicate that the party forces should be harmonized for the good of the party instead of the interests of any Individual, the fact is the factions are as fsr apart as ever and pulling in all directions. George Whits, the present chalr-msn. holds the whip hand. He announced some time ago that he was esger to retire. He has dona a creditable Job ss national chairman as the party will discover when the record of his work is disclosed, bul he doeen't went to continue In the management of the party's Interests.

The Job was originally forced upon him. But George White can continue If he likes until after (he next national convention in 124. It is not customary for the national committee to pick a new chairman between presidential elections unless one resigns, snd although the McAdoo forces probsbly have a majority on the national committee. It Is unlikely thst thev would compel White to reelsn. Considerations of a rmenr would prevent s'ich tact.
