WOMEN VOTERS AVOID
PROHIBITION LAWS
FEAR OF AVALANCHE OF MOR-
ALIZATION MEASURE HAS
NOT BEEN JUSTIFIED.

The fear used to be expressed that,
once women had the vote, an ava
ianche of moralization laws would
sweep the land. This fear has so tar
NOT been justified. The two national
organizations of women have shown
great finesse in avoiding prohibitive
laws. Their present interest lies else
where. writes Edna Kenton in "Ihe
Forum"
AS a matter of fact and worthy of
note the New York State League OF
Women Voters went on record last
January as favoring amendment OF the
New York state law prohibiting dis
semination of birth control intorma-
fion. No one knows yet whether wo-
men are conservative or revolutionary,
for no test has come. !. ,
So far politics has not been purlhed
no sane~minded person supposed 1t
would be. But, just because the wo-
mans vote is still an unknown guam
tity, it is enough to give pause to local
politicians at least. There is no data
available regarding women's influence
on local issues that makes any asser-
tion regarding it interchangeable.
But it is not rash to say that a de-
batable candidate for purely local
Office is likely to be less certain OF
election now than in the good old
days when the gang gathered to vote
and the respectable citizen stayed dis
gusted at home. This may be purifi-
cation of politics; it may be also con-
sidered in terms of common-sense
use of the ballot.
Data is also lacking on how gen.
orally women vote. Absolutely no sta
fistics are available, and one guess is
as good as another A careful correla-
ting of expert opinions. however,
tends toward the conclusion that wo
men vote in about the same ratio as
men, as interestedly or as Indifferent
fy. No more than his or her life's in
Gerest the exercise of the franchise.
Seventy-ive years of working for
Che vote have done this much at least
for women's sense of justice and their
sense of humor They are not likely to
offer opposition to any son of Mary
land who. revolving against that an
cient statute which makes a married
woman not responsible for felony,
other than treason or homicide. when
committed in her husbands presense,
shall present a bill to. the Maryland
legislature which states that felon
is a feon, irrespective of sex or of
marriage.

SCANDALS OF 1925" WILL
NOT SHOW AS PLANNED
Unable to Get Cast Together in Time
For Performance.

"The Scandals of 1925" an amateur
theatrical which was to have been pre-
scented in Dawson under the auspices
of the American Legion on Wednes-
day night, will not be given at that
time, and possibly the date will be
cancelled altogether.
The reason for the postponement
or cancellation of the date of the
show was due to the inability of the
Montezuma people to assemble their
cast. The picture booked for that day
will be shown at the Palace theatel
as usual.

LABOR LEANINGS
Speech Makes Great Hit
with Seattle Audience

SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 3.--Robert
Minor spoke here at the Painters
Hall at well attended meeting. He
brought out clearly the Communist
position in the coming presidential
elections, showing that we are out for
class party made up of industrial
workers and dirt farmers. He de-
fined the LaFollette movement as a
middle class business mems compact
ito win certain opportunities to com
pete with the large Wall Street bust
ness interests"
The LaFollette progressive move
ment, with the senile theory of bust
the trusts" he said, 'is essentially
akin to the Roosevelt progressive
movement Of 1912 (which, by the way,
was led at first by LaFollette). It is
also essentially like the Woodrow
Wilson movement of 1916, when Will
son led the sentimental but unthink-
ing masses into new democracy Of a
kind of which we got plenty. When
we see the democratic party now
evaporating, and its venal politicians
flooding into the LaFollette orgauiza-
ton, we can, indeed, see an extreme
likelihood that the LaFollette move
ment will simply replace the dying
democratic party and will be the sec
ond capitalist party in the future.
"But it is a desertion and betrayal
of the dirt farmers and wage work
ers-and these must build their own
party, freed from the capitalist in
terests."
He spoke for one hour and half
after which he answered many ques-
tions. The audience seemed pleased
and stayed long after the meeting,
discussing Minors speech. A number
of them took out cards in the Workers
Party.

Area Branch No. /
of Young Workers
Has Good Meeting

The first business meeting of area
branch No. 1 taking in the downtown
district showed the possibilities of in
tensive work among the young prole-
tarians in this district. The routine
business of the branch was disposed
of in about three-quarters of an hour
(the branch executive was on the
job. A meeting of all comrades work
ing in Davis Dry Goods company was
form nuclei there. Davis employs
1890 workers of whom 5000 are young
workers receiving from $1,000 to
$1,000 per week. Young workers there
complain about their paltry pay, speed

the fact that they are not allowed to
sit down during working hours. There

thousands of young needle workers
pass on their way home, besides SO
copies of every issue of Young Worker
were pledged to be taken by members
and every one of our fifty members
pledged to raise at least $500 for the
Young Worker Campaign fund. This
was done in response to the campaign
conducted by the national office to
increase our circulation to 10000 and
raise campaign fund of $4,000 pre-
paratory to making our semi-monthly

After the business meeting com.
rades of the branch gave short talks
on their shops. Reports were heard
from the department stores, clothing
shops, mail order houses and every
where it seemed our comrades were
carrying on agitation among the young
and adult workers. All discussions
during this prediction period lead
to the present election campaign and
our members found good opportunity
to bring forward our party's candi-
dates and our platform.

COW. since the housing shortage is SO
acute that the Moscow soviet is de-
porting all useless merchants and pet
;y-bourgeois traders.
A typical Bourgeois Trick
BY getting on the list OF "unem-
ployed" unable to find congenial work,
this element manages to stay in the
city while engaging in furtive trading,
making and selling illegal liquor,
snluggled goods, and so on, and even
receives the fairly adequate unem-
ployment relief while doing so.
Naturally, when caught, they get
sharp justice from the workers courts
which usually sends them to some
town in the provinces or across the
Urals to Siberia.
The Causes Of Unemployment
Rehabilitation since the allied in
tcrvention was defeated, the increas.
ing proletarization Of the former par
asite causes and the return to the
cities Of great numbers who went back
to the country during the famine
years, all contributes to the real
problem of unemployment
Especially as the pace Of reviving
industry, while very fast, cannot keer
step with the tremendous increase Of
population as noted above.
Few Real Workers Unemployed
But that Soviet Russia takes care
Of her workers, and that few real
workers are compelled to fall back
upon the unemployed relief, may be
seen by the figures showing the char
actor of these listed as unemployed.
No less than 75.6 per cent belong to
the former parasite and intellectual
classes, intellectuals accounting for
SG.3 percent, and unskilled bourgeois
and green peasant types for 1913 per
cent. Only 24.4 of the listed unem-
ployed are actual workers, and these

preciate having a problem" Of this
