The door Of marriage She must be
made to understand that by acting as
strikebreaker, she is helping those
who are fighting against the working
class for the preservation Of the bour-
geois social system. The Workers
(Communist) Party must do its ut
most to overcome the sluggishness,
the individualistic psychology of the
working women and to awaken feel
ings of class solidarity among them.
Because of the peculiar situation of
women, because of their political back
wardness, a special means of approach
must be used. We have special de-
partment of youth (the Y. w. La be-
cause we know that in this way our
Communist work will be more efec-
tive among the young workers. The
Y. w. L. constantly brings before the
party special plans for more effective
work among the youth of the coun-
try. We organize unemployment coun-
ellis during acute unemployment per
iods; we organize protection of for
eign-born councils, etc. Acute unem-
ployment comes with the re-occurring
capitalist crisis, but the problem Of
the women of the working class is
continual. 1t is necessary to have
q special apparatus in this work. In
Russia, after the overthrow of the
bourgeoise, we see the important and
effective work carried on by the spe-
ciaI women's departments of the Rus
ian C. P. The fact that the c. l. has
instructed all of it's sections to create
apparatus for work among women,
n itself is evidence enough to prove
the necessity for special work among
women. The women's department in
the party will take the initiative in
pressing for action on questions relat-
ing to Communist work among wo-
men.
Do We Need a Separate Women's
Organization
Some of us believe that the Com
munist message applies to women in
a very peculiar way. ''The women of
the workingclass will not enter Com
nunist Party, but they will become
members of a separate women's orr
ganization independent of the party"
say some of our comrades. therefore,
it is necessary to carry on our Com
munist work among women thru such
q separate women's organization"
First, a separate women's organize
ton cannot have the win to action,
the centralized organization as that
of a Communist Party. Second, how
can we expect to win the sympathies
Of the women of the workingclass for
our party, if we (the party work with
these women on issues related to their
very life in the name Of an organiza-
ton other than the Workers (Com-
nunist) Party? This separate organ.
zation win absorb all the sympathies
and gain all the influence of these wo-
nen, because it will take up the issues
'elated to their very life. 1t has beer
he experience of our comrads in 9th
countries. that women become ths
rdent advocates of Communism, once
hey realize that the Communist Par
~ is with them in their daily needs.
The Comintern is opposed to the form
alton of separate women's organiza-
tons. The following is an extract
from the theses of the Third Congress
of the C. l. on women's work: Being
earnestly opposed to the separate or
ganization Of women into all sorts Of
parties, unions, or any other special
women's organizations. :" Also
from the theses of the third confer
ence of Communist women: 'In Hol
land and Norway the remaining separ
ate organizations Of Communist wo-
men were successfully iiuuidated."
Forms and Methods Of Work.
The c. e. C. of the party made a
decision that all political work among
women be carried on in the name Of
the Workers (Communist) Party;
that every unit Of the party beginning
with the branch up TO the C. +. C.
