the fact that, while in 1920, one-fifth
Of the American working class had
become members of unions, only
one-ffteenth of the working women
had been organized in the basic or
gans of class struggle-the trade I'M
ions.
Moreover, this slim percentage Of
organization is bulked largely in a
few industries, such as clothing,
leather and shoe, and the transpor-
tation- industry; and with the trag-
ic losses of all unions since 1920,
much of this was lost, barring per-
haps the single exception Of the re-
tanned membership of women I'M
ionists in the clothing industry.
Unionize All Women Workersi
It is the clear duty of Commun-
lists and militant unionists, in those
industries where woman is engaged
as a co-worker, to, demand admit
lance on equal footing OF these
women as fellow workers in the
union, where such admission is now
denied, and where no disability to
membership exists, to press the
matter of unionization of all wom-
en- workers as a first requirement
for militant struggle against the
employers.
1t is notable that the highest per-
centage of unionized women TO the
number employed in the particular
craft, is in the professions such as
actors, musicians and teachers, par
ticularly the actresses, while whole
armies Of factory operatives, DOM
este servants and the terribly ex-
plotted hospital nurses, whose SYM
pathy for human suffering is ex-
plotted by supposed phiIanthropic
institutions, are wholly without the
fundamental protection Of all work
ers, a union.
No One Cares But the Communists.
The bringing of organization to
these millions of workers must be
the work of the Communists. No

tion of the pToletariat develops its

must yield them sdch null recogni-

must not forget the remark OF a
leader of the Communist Interna-
tional, that the problem of woman's
participation in the struggle as an
equal is to convince men of its
necessity, and to abolish the herit-
age of capitalism. of the myth of
woman's inherent disability.

TAILORS' UNION
HOLDS The FORT
in PARKERSBURG
Scabs Hired, But Only to
Be Fired

Especial TO The Daily Worker)
PARKERSBURG, W. Va, March 4.
The fifth week of the lockout of the
Journeymen Tailors' Union by the Ma
tional Wooden Mills Of this city, finds
the situation unchanged, the tailors
holding out one hundred per cent
strong for recognition of the union, be-
fore they will return to work.
The officials Of the mills have offer
ed to pay the union scale Of wages if
the men and women will return to
work as individuals, but the union
members seem to see thru this spider
and hy trick and will not be guIled by
such rosy promises. er
seabs Let Go.
After frantic advertising for help
the mill was enabled to open a few
weeks ago with about twenty-five
scab workers, but it appears that they
proved unsatisfactory and were let
out after the first week. The manage
ment then tried to have the work
handled by out of town firms, but it
is said the workers in factories where
the work was sent, on hearing of the
lockout here, refused to handle the
work and once again the bosses are
trying to get workers for the factory,
but without apparent success, only a
few responding to the advertisements
for help.
The Journeymen Tailors' Union is
receiving the moral and financial sup
port of the railway and other unions
here, and as the National Wooden
Mills cater to the trade of the work
ing class, who all seem to be on the
side of the locked-out union, it is
easy. to foresee, with the spring trade
opening, the mill owners cannot hold
out much longer.

A De Luxe BUS

Suburban Motor vehicIe Co.

Al de luxe bus service between
Washington, Cherrydale, Lee

has been instituted by the Alex

The company has purchased five

from Georgetown to Fairfax.
AS soon as the widening of M

the buses will come the entire dis

Arlington county with a direct
transportation service, without
transfers, to mid-city via M street
and Pennsylvania avenue.

These three lines-the old and

The extension of the Lee High

from Lee Heights through Falls
