Protecting Womanhood

American capitalism and it's middle-cass
agencies like the ku klux khan, rotary clubs and
other collections of hangers-on exhibit always a
wordy concern the sanctity Of the home, pro
lection of womanhood, etc. mob can always be
gathered to beat up or lynch some unfortunate
migratory worker fresh from the construction
camps who has made the pardonable mistake of
approaching some enameled beauty in the age old
fashion.
But at the state capital of Illinois the chivarous
character of the babbittry is being tested by the
lagitation for legislation limiting the hours for
female labor to eight. Loud Outcries come from
the white slavers. Long hours are good for women,
they say. The head stOolpigeon of Wrigley, the
millionaire chewing gum manufacturer, is on the
job and tells of the moral influence of long hours.
The poor working girls become pleasantly fatigued
by long hours of labor, says this madame and are
not inclined to trife with the dangerous male of
the species.
Nor is this cleavage between bourgeois ethics and
practice confined to the capitalist proper. The
southern landhoIding aristocracy exhibits the high
regard for the morals of working class women and
disregard for their persons. The rulers of Missis
sippi or Alabama-we forget which just at the
moment-not long ago lowered the age of consent
from II to H. but they courageously continue to
lynch Negroes for merely looking at white
woman. -
Shorter hours for women and men, abolition of
child labor all improvements in the conditions of
the working class designed to give the workers
more leisure and control their lives, meet with
the bitter opposition of the capitalists disguised by
solemn ethical slogans which capitalist society is
so ingenious in inventing. When propaganda fails
force is used.
The outer citadels of capitalism are staunchly
defended. viii the master class stop at anything
to defend its inner arsenals?
The lessons of the last eight years say no in
clarion tones, but the Communist parties alone
have learned these lessons and alone teach them to
the working class.

New Election AS
Fascist Quarrel

ROME, Italy, March 26.-The cla-
NOR for new elections is growing here,
as month follows month with Premier
Mussolini still absent from public ac-
tivity and the division in the ranks
of the fascist growing sharper every
day.
Mussolini's appearance in public
did not have the effect of reassuring
his followers that be Is returning to

All of which is all right with us, Charley, but we
are not advertising experts. We are Communists
and know that world war can start that does
not drag in Great Britain as a potential if not
active rival of American imperialism. The middle
class elements who gasped at your utterances may
also swallow your suggestion that Great Britain
and America should unite to crush Soviet Russia
but the working class of both countries have diff

British workers you can get for five shillings, the

which we hope you will not delay on our account.

Cleaners Strike
Put Off on Plea
of Bosses for Time

The strike authorized Sunday night
by the cleaners, dyers and pressers in
more than 300 Chicago cleaning and
dying shops was again postponed by
the union officials yesterday when the
Master Dyers' and Cleaners .Associa-
ton asked the Cleaners and Dyers'
Union to enter into further negotia-
tions looking to settlement.
The executive committee Of the I'M
ion had been authorized by a meet
ing of the union to carry on nego-
tiations with the bosses and If set
Element efforts failed, to call a strike
on Monday. Monday, Tuesday and
part of Wednesday the executive COM
mittee conferred with the bosses rep
resentatives but did NOT arrive at a
settlement.
Wednesday afternoon they issued
another call for strike to begin
Thursday morning. But late Wednes-
day evening they received a letter
from the employers offering to go on
with the conferences if the strike
call was cancelled. After consider
able debate the strike was postponed
pending the outcome of the confer
ences.
Yesterday the settlement talk went
on all day. At the close neither side
would say anything further than that
the conference would continue today.
Ben Abrams, manager of the union,
said: 81 don't know; there may or
there may not be strike. We have
arrived at no settlement with the
bosses"

Strike Relief and the Party

The Hartford local of the Workers Communist
Party of America has collected $171.05 for the
Willimantic textile strikers-the largest sum yet
turned in by any one grOupp for this purpose
The money was collected by house canvass and
this is the most important thing in connection with
it. There is a thousand times more propaganda
value in money given from sources of this kind
than in donations made out of the treasury
Not only the striking workers who receive the
very welcome strike relief are made acquainted
with the role of the party, but workers who are
not involved in the strike told of the struggle
the demands of the strikers and themselves brought
in contact with Communist activity.
They see the Communists at work doing one of
the thousand and one necessary daily tasks of the
working class movement-tasks to which no partic-
ular glory is attached and on which the limelight
does not shine, but which do not escape the atten
ton of intelligent workers.
This is one of the ways in which the party &C
quires mass character.

Wall Street is going to drive British capital out

capital with his destruction Of the Railwaymen's
Union, the discharge Of 10000 of its members and
the preparations for the return Of the roads to
Wall Street. 4GaatoG

British Imperialism is the greatest propaganda
machine in the world.
Thru the Federation Of British Industries, with
its close connection with the foreign Office, goes
out the message of empire in many forms.
Every middle-cass and capitalist Briton is an
agent of British Imperialism. They can talk about
the friendship of the two great Anglo-Saxon ma
tions without batting eye while American and
British business interests cut one anothers threats
in every quarter of the globe where there is loot
to be had.
These remarks are called forth by the speech Of
Sir Charles Higham English advertising expert,
made at luncheon given in his honor in the La
Sale Hotel yesterday.
Sir Charles predicted new war within ten
years but not, of course, between America and
Great Britain Japan will attack America and
Germany will attack France. Japan will descend
upon the Panama Canal and the Pacific coast
with a swarm Of airplanes. She wants TO capture
the United States because il is so rich
Having scared the babbittry present with this ter
rbe picture Sir Charles proceeded to get down to
business. The business Of the imperiast Briton is
TO take a crack at the most dangerous immediate
enemy TO British supremacy whenever there are a
bunch Of numbskulls around with their mouths and
ears open. The noble advertising expert devoted
few words to the German reparation question

speed up production.

The new agreement is about to be
signed. Don't wait till it is too late.
Let your voice be heard at the next
meeting of your local union against
policy of collision with the bosses.
We. the left wing, in the Amalga-
mated workers make the following
recommendation for the new agree
ment.
I. Direct Negotiations With Bosses
We oppose the present method Of
secret diplomacy with the bosses, in
wage negotiations. The successful
way to-carry on such negotiations to
win the demands of the workers is
thru committee composed of repre-
sentatives elected from the local I'M
ions. With the members kept in
touch with every development, de-
termined struggle for the demands
of the workers is assured.
2. Forty-Hour Week.
Development Of machinery, while
bringing bigger profits to the boss
es, is throwing hundreds and thou
sands into the unemployed ranks. The
fortyrhour week, with pay for forty
four giving more employment to the
workers, would also aid in relieving
the unemployment situation.
8. Week Work as Against Piece Work
Piece work speeds up production;
breaks down the standard of wages
and health of the workers; divides
the workers against one another and
plays into the bosses hands. Hence,
demand week work with maximum
standard of production and minimum
scale of wagesl
4. Demand Genuine Unemployment
WagesI
Capitalist industry lives and pros
pers on the exploitation of the work
ers. We demand that at all times,
in and out of work, that the workers
are adequately maintained. The pres
ent scheme of unemployment insur-
ance of our officials is totally INSULT
cient for our needs. Demand full
maintenance of the unemployed at the
