pay. They are often segregated be-
cause of race prejudice, given infe-
rior and harder work and because of
their Ignorance" they are shame
lessly cheated, false computation of
wages, scales wrong, count wrong,
etc. At the end of the week "you
never know what you are going to
get; you just take what they give
you and CO." The report points out
that there is a strong feeling among
Negro women workers that they are
not getting square deal.
Since the Negro women are unor-
ganized they accept the most out
rageous conditions of employment.
They are not alone Disseminated
against because of their color and
often segregated, but they are made
to work amidst conditions the United
States government would not permit
its hogs to live under. Herded to-
gether in terrible congestion, in filth,
feted dust-laden, poisonous air, poorly
ventilated, still more poorly lighted,
these women work and often have to
eat in the same atmosphere.
The report points out, Confronted
with the need for food, clothing and
shelter and placed in an environment
which was unhealthful and sometimes
even degrading, they were seen to
nave lost themselves in the struggle
for bare existence"
The treatment accorded most Of
these workers is well expressed in
the words of one Of the managers,
"They are terribly indolent, careless
and stubborn, but we know HOW to
handle them. We give them rough
treatment and that quells them for
while" Yet another manager OBJ
serves, "You never saw group of
people so responsive to kindness? In
the main, these women are conscious
Of their industrial experience and
showed timidity which was a draw
back in acquiring assurance and

the legal work day. Overtime dis
permitted as much as desired" The
report tells how workers boast of
their thriftiness in beginning work,
before hours, after hours, and work
ing during lunch hour" One worker
puts it, "You just can't make ends
meet unless you do extra work and
often you are left in hole even at
that"
A typical case is cited indicating
how these Negro women live for the
most part. Rise at five, cook break
fast, dress children, prepare food and
attend to things about the house, re-
port for work at z, leave at $3.50, re-
sumo homework on returning home,
frequently continuing this work until
midnight, dead tired as a result.
One woman worker states ~ am so
tired when reach home / can scarce
ly stand up. My nerves are so bad,
jump in my Sleep" Another woman
complains, 'Pd love to go to the Y.
w. c. A.. but | am so ured at night,
l can scarcely go to bed. If go
out at night, l go where there is lots
Of life and lots of fun; I'd go to
sleep at lecture or club meeting"
Another case cited, 81 am so worried
and worn in my strength that / feel
at times as if can stand it no
longer. 1t is not alone the need of
money but the responsibility of being
nurse, housekeeper and wage Garner
at one time"
The average pay of the Negro
women in industry is about ten dol
lars a week. The minimum wage is
calculated at S16.50. When it is taken
into consideration that many of these
women have dependents and are
sometimes the sole supporters OF
their families, one wonders whether
slavery days before the civil wal
could have been much worse.
The frightful conditions under
which most of the Negro women work
add to the horror Of their wretched

speed so necessary in factory produc-
ton. Their patient trust and belief
in the better day that should come
to them as workers is pathetic"
The report points out that bad
working conditions and long hours
are a serious menace to the state,
that the prosperity Of a nation Is
endangered when its workers are be-
ing crippled with exhaustive labor.
Loss of human energy, due to excess
sive working hours becomes a ma
tional loss and is bound to lessen the
nations productive yield. The re-
porter, therefore, recommends legis-
lation for a higher standard of liv-
ing. inasmuch as a higher standard
of living will produce greater eff
cheney in production and greater
profits.
The report would have self-en-
lightened employers and the State
jointly work out an appropriate
award as compensation for Negro
women in the industries. It would
be sort Of benevolent industrialism
for greater efficiency and greater ma
tional progression the master class.
To that end is also recommended,
"a more conscientious training for
efficiency in public schools, thru fos-
tering of pride in achievement, in
creasing personal and family thrift,
and encouraging of constancy toward
given task, would ensure that
preparation for life which is the
purpose of all education"

NEGRO women who entered indus
~ try during the war are fast
learning that their lot is still "the
last to be hired and the first to be
fired" According to a report just
issued by the Woman's Bureau at
Washington on the NEGRO Women
in Industry" geat number of Negro
women are being eliminated from in
dustry and those remaining are most
ruthlessly exploited. Their hours of
toll range all the way from eight to
sixteen hours a day and sometimes
longer; their pay is miserab.y small
and the conditions under which they
work are most brutal.
The report covers a survey of $50
industries employing 1850 Negro
women. The purpose of the investi
cation was made in order to create
a better understanding and greater
sympathy among employers Of Negro
women with the aim of thereby rails
ing the standard of living. This
humanitarian aspiration is strongly
coupled with repeated emphasis upon
the fact that a higher standard OF

census as well as the new congress
sional investigation and reports of
the government. The volume, Estate
and Revolution" will comprise the
most important studies of Lenin on
this theme: "The State and Revolu-
ton; The Proletarian Revolution and
the Renegade Kautsky; and Mater
ial on the Question of the Prole-
tartan Dictatorship.
The concrete analysis of our i'm
perialist period led Lenin to the con-
ciusion that the working class
must conduct the fight for the
dictatorship of the proletariat. But
at the same time Lenin recognized
that the working class itself is not
and cannot be entirely uniform, tina,
Imperialism itself has the tendency
to divide the working class thru buy
ing one part and suppressing the
other. The fight for the dictator
ship of the proletariat can be waged
by the working class only if it is led
by a revolutionary party which,
against the sectional, regional, ma
tional and temporary interests of the
working class represents the COM
mon, general, international and per-
manent interests of the working class
as an entity. No one has had a clearer
view of the role of the Communist
Party in the revolution than Lenin.
The book, Shaping of Bolshevism,"
will present the writings of Lenin
which crystallized and made conscious
the Party of the Bolsheviki against
the Mensheviki.
Lenin from the beginning saw
clearly the two dangers which
the revolutionary party of the
proletarians faces: opportunism ano
sectarianism. The volume ''The
Struggle Against the Second Inter
national" will present selections from
brilliant essays and articles of his
which appeared under the title:
Against the Stream" Ut is a pity
that we cannot print in our Lenin
library the mastery articles of Zinc
view which appeared in the same
period and in the same book The
volume of our library entitled "'Left-
ism,' An Infantile Malady of Com
munism" gives Lenin's ruthless
struggle against revolutionary
phrases and for revolutionary real
ism.
The party of the proletariat,
cleansed of opportunism as well as
of revolutionary phrase, must begin
its difficult march towards seizure of
power. The Party must in the first
place win the confidence of the ma
jority of the working class and then
it must organize the armed revolu-
ton itself. The volume of our IL
brary, "The Organization of the
Revolution" will give those writings
of Lenin which he wrote during the

period of mastery maneuvering from
March to November, 1917, and his
analysis of the lessons of the armed
uprising in 1905.
But Lenin saw clearly that the
revolution of the working class does
not take place in a vacuum, that the
revolution is never the achievement
of a single class, but that it is al
ways a mighty mass movement OF
the various classes of the suppressed
and exploited. With wonderful clear
ness Lenin recognized-an this rec
ognition is one of the chief pillars of
Leninism-that the proletarian revo-
luton in our imperialist period is
accompanied by the revolt of the
ruined lower middle class, the re-
bellion of exploited farmers as well
as by uprisings of suppressed ma
tions and oppressed colonies. Lenin
again and again repeated-and that
is another principal pillar of Lenin-
ism-that the victory of the social
revolution is impossible if the prole-
tariat does not form an alliance with
all non-capitalist elements, especial
ly farmers and with the masses of
the oppressed nations and races. The
volume "The Working Class and the
Farmers" will give the most i'm
portant writings of Lenin on this
theme, such as; "The Attitude of the
Communists to the Middle Farmers"
"The Working C'ass and the Farm
ers," the "New Economic Policy in
Soviet Russia (The Tax in Kind)."
The volume "The Suppressed Peoples
and the Social Revolution" will con-
tain those pioneer essays of against
the Stream" in the self-determination
of nations, and Lenin's other studies
on the question of nationalities.
That viii be the contents of the
Lenin library. 1t is only a part of
the tremendous riches of Lenin. But
we hope it is a picture of Leninism.
It mirrors the train of thought of
Leninism.

struggle. We are forced to man.
euver. We are forced again and again
to give concessions to the great
masses of workers and exploited
farmers who today are not yet Com
munists. Our Party is facing great
dangers in this maneuvering. One
danger is that we see only the masses
and forget the revolution: the dan
ger of opportunism. The other dam
ger is that we see vnIy the idea of
the dictatorship of the proletariat
and dogmatically turn away from the
masses: the danger of sectarianism.
Only a Communist education can OBJ
viate these dangers for our Party.
THE Lenin library will be a means
to this Communist education.

was Marxism. In the Twentieth
Century, Leninism. Leninism is
Marxism applied to the present i'm
perialistic period of capitalist society.
Lenin was an orthodox Marxist.
During his whole life he fought
against eclecticism which wanted to
complete" Marxism from various
philosophical systems, such as Kant
ism, Machism, Dietzgenism Cor in
the latest period), Freudism. Lenin
considered Marxism as a complete
outlook on life. Marxism was for
Lenin the method of analysis and
Interpretation of society. If we want
TO understand Leninism it is neces-
sary to learn to know Lenin's inter-
probation of the Marxist method of
inquiry. The volume "Marx and
Marxism' of our library will COM
plete Lenin's essays and articles on
Marx and the Marxist method.
With the weapon of the Marxist
method in his hand, Lenin carried
out the fundamental task of Marx
lists, the concrete analysis of the con-
crete facts Marx for the first time
discovered the essence of capitalism.
Lenin for the first time discovered
the essence of imperialism, the final
stage of capitalism. In Capital"
Marx analysed for the first time the
revolution of agriculture thru the
capitalist method Of production. Karl
Kautsky in his "Agrarian Question"
explained the revolutionary effect of
American competition on European
agriculture. But Lenin was the first
who gave a concrete Marxist analy-
sis of Russian and American
agriculture in two of his works:
1.-THE Agrarian Question in Ameri-
ca" and agriculture in Russia. "
Marx and Engels for the first time
analysed the role of state power in
class society, and showed that by
the development of capitalist society,
inevitable necessity goes thru the die
tatorship of the proletariat to a
Classics and state-less society. The
decadents forgot and passed in silence
over this basic fact. Lenin's inquiries
then again brought the questions of
state and dictatorship of the prole-
tariat to the consciousness of the
working class. Our Lenin library
will have three volumes which give
Lenin's concrete analysis of these
basic facts of our period. The vol
ume, Imperialism, the Final Stage
of Capitalism" This book of Lenin
was never printed in English COM
pletely. Only the first half has APP
peared. The volume ''The Agrarian
Question in America" is especially
timely for US today in the midst of
the agricultural crisis in the United
States. Lenin's analysis is based
upon the 1910 census, but we will
bring it up to date by using the 1920

THE Central Executive Committee
Il of our Party made an important
decision to publish a Lenin library.
The Lenin library will contain ten
volumes, together about 1000 pages,
ten volumes of uniform size. Each
volume will have an explanatory pre-
face and notes. Seven of these vol
umes have never been published
before in the English language, and
three exist only in incomplete
editions.
A Lenin library! Ten volumes of
Lenin's writings! One hundred thous-
and copies of Lenin's works in Eng
lishl A hundred thousand soldiers
of Leninism! A hundred thousand
Communist fighters in the United
Statesmen native-born, but English
speaking. 1t is a great, an enormous
undertaking. 1t is the surest sign
of the growth and strengthening Of
cur Party, that we can venture it. 1t
is a sign of strength and it will be
a source of strength.
The ten volumes of the Lenin Ii
brary viii be the following:
1. Marx and Marxism.
2. Imperialism, the Final Stage Of
Capitalism.
8. The Agraria Question in
America.
A. State and Revolution.
5. The Shaping of Bolshevism.
6. The Struggle Against the Sec
ond International.
z. "Leftism"-An Infantile Malady
of Communism.
8. The Organization of the Revolu-
ton.
9. The Working Glass and the
Farmers.
10. The Suppressed Peoples and
the Social Revolution.
What was the governing principle
in my selection (our Central Execu-
tive Committee has honored me with
the editorship OF the Lenin library
of precisely these writings of Lenin
as his representative works?
Lenin's complete writings would
make up, not 1000 pages, but ten
times as much. The task in the Sc
lection was a double one On the
one hand, to give a good picture of
Leninism. On the other hand, to omit
everything which would not be I'M
derstandable to American workers.
The CHIEF aim of the Lenin library
is to give a complete picture of
Leninism for intelligent working
men. Lenin was not only the great
est statesman of our period, but at
the same time the greatest scholar,
in social science. Lenin was the
only Marxist who added a new story
to the magnificent edifice of Marx.
