Women in Great
Britain Dislike
Ban On Jobs

(By The Associated Press)
LONDON, Sept. 16 — The Brit
ish government wants no Ruth
Bryan Owens in its foreign ser
vice.
A woman may sit on the throne
or in the House of Commons or
in the Cabinet—but diplomatic
and consular careers are to re
main closed to her.
“The time has not yet arrived,”
the government has announced,
“when women could be employ
ed either in the consular service
or in the diplomatic service with
advantage to the State or with
profit to the women.”
This decision was announced af
ter the question of admitting wo
men had been surveyed by a gov
ernment committee headed by
Sir Claud Schustter.
Well-known women were quick
to express their dissent with the
government’s announcement.
American-born Lady Astor said
“The old diplomacy has failed as
the chaotic state of the world test
ifies. The very desperation of
civilization’s plight should be
sufficient for us to insist that
these petty barriers of sex be
swept away to give place to the
larger and far mqre vital consid
eration of the best brains for the
job, wherever they may be
found.”
“In most foreign countries wo
men are admitted to these servic
es now,” said Miss Marjorie
Green, secretary of the National
Council for Equal Citizenship. “I
am afraid we are behind the tim
es.”
Governor James Curley won
the Democratic senator nomina
tion in Massachusetts by a large
margin over Mayor Robert
Greenwood of Fitchburg.
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. captur
ed the GOP nomination for gov
ernor, and Philip LaFollette, un
opposed for the Progressive Par
ty renomination, received more
votes than either the GOP’s or
Democrats in the Wisconsin gub
ernatorial race.
New York returns shattered
»the hopes of Townsend and
Coughlin candidates who sought
forty-five nominations to the U.
S. House in thirteen states.
Tammany set back New York
City independents by nominat
ing three judges and William
Brunn aldermanic president.
Portland Wins
From Seattle In
First of Series
SEATTLE, Sept. 16, — Port
land walloped Seattle 5 to 0 in
the first game of the playoff ser
ies today for the Pacific Coast
League Pennant.
The Beavers scored twice in
the third inning and the same in
the fourth, and then added one
run in the fifth inning.
The Seattle Indians threatened
in the third with the bases load
ed but Portland completed a trip
le play and stopped their chance.
Oakland defeated San Diego 6
to 3 in the first of their playoff
series.
Lady Snowden commented: “I
see no reason why all women
should be excluded from these
posts. It has not been suggested
that the average woman should
take up this work, but only ones
eminently suited for it.”
Work Too Difficult
“In the very large majority of
consular posts,” the government
annonuced, “officers have to deal
with a number of matters which
it would be difficult for the av
