Rx r. A.

ONE of the great principles of the
~ Soviet Revolution was that OF
complete equality of rights for women
and men. Politically, this has been
realized to the full. Legally, women
married or unmarried) are in exact
ly the same position as men. There
is no sex disqualification whatever.
Women are eligible for all govern
ment posts.
OF course this does not mean
women are taking an equal part in
the work of government Women are
eligible, but they have tremendous
handicaps to vercome-tradition
custom, and above all, illiteracy.
In Russia proper, where illiteracy
is no worse than in other parts of the
Union, nearly 70 per cent of the
women are illiterate-about three
times the proportion of illiteracy
among men.
The proportion of women taking
part in elections to the lower Soviet
organs, such as the county and vii
lage Soviets, is on the average about
IA per cent of the total electors vot-
ing. In the case Of provincial Soviets,
this proportion is only about 55 per
cent. In the elections for All-Russian
Soviet Congress, the proportions of
women voting was only 80 per cent.
Women have not yet learned to use
these political rights.
With such low proportions of women
voting, it is natural that the proper
ton Of women elected to Soviet con
crosses is very low. In 1892 only O.9
per cent of the total members OF the
district executive committees, and 90
per cent of the members of the prov
incial executive committees, were
women. The percentages during 1928
increased. but no exact figures are at
present available.
The government is anxious to at
tract proletarian and peasant women
to take more active part than ever
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-08-09

Then again in developing your pic
ture of Communist deputation offer
ing the crown to LaFollette you say
sarcastically that you realize, of
course, that this tactic leads Gin a
straight line to the Great Revolution,
the regime of Lenin, and the dictator
ship of the proletariat under the Boil
sheviks."
The tone makes the music This
little phrase of yours breathes so
much bitterness, malice and impotent
rage toward the Lenin regime and the
Bolshevih that we can't help feeling
that we are dealing here, in the per-
son of Boudin, with an enemy of the
Communist International.
Are we right?

stances showing the fight of the
Workers Party against the menace of
LaFolletteism and for a Farmer-La-
Dor Parry.
Third: The C. <. C. Of the Work
ers Party at first favored an alliance
between the Farmer-Labor Party and
the third party movement, provided
it breaks completely with the two
old parties, in order to maintain con-
tact with the working masses for a
continued fight against LaFoIIetteism
and for Farmer-Labor Party.
Read the following quotations from
the March thesis of the c. e. c.:
eff under the conditions set forth
above an election alliance, either
national or local, is made the Farm
er-Labor Party must maintain a dis
tinct organization and carry on an
independent campaign for its own
program and utilize the situation to
the utmost to crystalize in the def
mite form of an organized Farmer
Labor Party all those workers and
exploited farmers who can be brot
to the support Of a class party.
Turnout any campaign in which
we maintain an alliance with the
third party, we must constantly
criticize and expose It and its can
didates, show up the futility of its
program, and make It clear to the
workers who are reached by our
own campaign that the third party
will bring them no salvation and no
relief. We must make it clear that
the whole campaign is simply a
starting point in the struggle for
the establishment OF a workers and
farmers government"
What does this mean? 1t means
that the originally proposed alliance
with the third party movement has
been conceived as one Of the means
Of fighting the menace Of LaFollette-
ism This and nothing more.
Later on, after consultation with the
Communist International the C. e. c.
of the Workers Party has decided to
drop the alliance proposition and to
concentrate on exposing and fighting
LaFollette from two bases only-that

THE DYING SOLDIER.

A soldier Of the plumber bund was dying
on the job,
His breath was coming hard and fast his
heart could hardly throb,
His CUTS were hanging out OF holes torn
through with chunks of lead,
And every time he choked and gagged
the blood flew from his head,
Stiu In his agony he gasped the song he
loved to sing.
How glorious it is to die, to die for God
and King.
He left a wife and little ones. he left
them all alone,
His only care was for his God and King
upon tina throne.
The God and King were all he had. he
was OF peasant birth.
He didn't own a foot Of soil in all the
blooming earth,
And yet how rich he deemed he WAS
how dearly he did prize
His King that sat upon a threne. His
God up in the skies.
oh thrones and affairs. what Joy, what
happiness you bring.
That psalsss a peasant glad to dfs, to die
for God and King.
