A New Book

The pay envelopes of the workers
soon showed that the victory cry of
no wage reductions was fraud. The
actual results Of these wage cuts and
readjustments amount to more than
Is per cent during the year 1886.
Two usual excuses were advanced
by the bosses for cutting wages: (1)
The lowering of the cost Of living;
l2) depression in the industry.
These could absolutely not be applied
in this case. because, according to
government statistics the cost Of liv-
ing has increased.
On the other hand the general con-
ditions in the country have improved,
and the clothing industry is on the
upgrade as well. 1t may be said that
according to reports by the clothiers'
association, the Advance and Presi-
dent Hillman, the clothing industry to-
day is in much better condition than
1t was in 1924.
And yet wages were reduced. The
reasons offered by the employers are
as mysterious as those by our union
officials.

This coming May offers a good OPP
portunity for the Chicago clothing
workers to replace the many dollars
that vanished from their envelopes in
the last two years.
1t is to be recalled that the manu-.
facturers in the past as well as today
are taking advantage of every oppor-
tunity to increase their profits at the
expense of the workers. They cut
wages, they made readjustments,
they reconstructed the garments, in
fact they have done everything to re-
duce the cost of the workers.
The Chicago Amalgamated Clothing
Workers should make demands of the
employers of at least Is per cent
increase, because the conditions in the
industry have improved and the cost
Of living has increased.
The loss in wages increased during
the past two years, thru the means of
readjustments, was so enormous that
the standard of living among amalga-
mated workers has gone far below the
standard Of 1924

CARNATIONS, like fraternal, benevolent

be reached. Help in strikes will have
to be organized jointly with men and
women workers. Kitchens will have
to be established to take care of strik-

duration. The children Of these pro-
letarian women will have to be train
ed to take part in the struggles of
the workers instead OF being used in
imperialist wars to help the bosses

z. The work of the existing left

consciously directed on the path of
developing left wing movements. The
Trade Union Educational League as
a national left wing center must be
broadened and attract masses Of trade
unionists to its banner.
To Undue the party membership
with such a conception the articles
were written. The task Immediately

in this direction. To do this all party

The success of this campaign by the

place on the subject, but by the ac-
tual number Of party members who

NEEDLE WORKERS

Agreement Means Wage
Cuts and Speedily
By a WORKER correspOndent

Since 1919 the Chicago clothing
workers agreements with the manu-
facturers contained the clause that
each year during the life of the agree
ment (Which is three years. each
party has the right to open the ques-
ton Of wages, generally depending
upon the conditions Of the industry
at the time.
Negotiations on that question gen.
orally take place during the months
of February, March and April
The Advance reports the organiza-
ton is going to take advantage Of this
clause by making some demands upon
the manufacturers. Just what the de-
mands are is still mystery to the
membership. The same report has
also gone to the locals from the Joint
Board
The last agreement signed May /,
1925, to run till 1928, was supposedly
the same as that of 1922-1925. That
is what has been told to the general
membership. Particularly on the
question Of wages. No reduction Of
wages was to take place in any form.
But the true facts Of this new agree
ment readily showed themselves dur
ing the year in the shops and in the
pay envelopes Of the workers.
No sooner did the ink dry upon the
signatures of both parties than wage
cuts either direct or thru the medium
of readjustments took place. And in
some cases, more than once in the
same shop.

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Feb. 81 (By

couriers on train in Latvia, the Lat
Wan minister for foreign affairs has

sincere regrets of the Latvian govern

The Role of Members of the Workers
Communist Party Who Are Housewives

Comrades working among women viii
have to bear in mind that the shortest
way to the development of the full
consciousness of the proletarian wo-
men is thru participation in their daily
struggles-the things that immedi-
ately concern them, in their homes,
thru their children, the struggle with
high rents, high cost Of food, unem-
ployment, school conditions and many
other problems that they face daily.
The comrades must learn by grades
and stages to bring them to the more
general working class struggle and
from thence into the general party
campaigns where their class and Com
munist consciousness develops very
rapidly.
In order that this work among wo-
men shall be made easier, the general
party membership must give full con-
sideration to the problem Of work
among women. This is necessary too,
in order to create the proper spirit
and outlook in those comrades who
are charged with the responsibility Of
work among women.
Let us build a powerful Communist
Party in the United States which will
lead the workers in their struggles TO
a successful revolution which will
establish the workers power upon the
ruins of capitalism.

We sit about one foot apart from
one another. We cannot sew without
hitting one another's elbows. For the
examiner to pass between the tables
he has to disturb the workers; either
they raise in their seats or are pushed
aside.
When entering the shop the sitting
air stops your breath. This is caused
by the steam from pressing machines,
poor ventilation and the over-crowded
room.
Tho there are sufficient windows in
the place to work under natural light,
yet we are forced to work the whole
day under electric light, because the
windows are thick with dust. They
appear as tho they never had been
washed. The floor is swept about once
in three days and then only to pick
up the rags that are trimmed away
from the garments, while dust and
dirt remains on the floor.
For about 60 or 20 women working
in the shop there is but one toilet and
that is out of order most of the time.
And when it is in order it is not fit
for human beings to use.
These conditions in the shop cause
many workers to contract colds and
other diseases that unsanitary condi-
tons bring about. Complaints have
been made about these conditions to
our business agent, Sol Kramer, but
thus far he has not made any at
tempts to remedy them.
We demand that our business agent
enforce the union laws for sanitary
conditions. We need a larger and
cleaner shop and demand that the
bosses and foremen stop splitting on
the floor, and we want towels and
soap to wash our hands.

WITH the reorganization of the
party, comrades who are house
wives will play an important role.
They will have the task of doing Com
munist work among the masses Of pro-
letarian women. They will have to
learn to lead gthese masses toward
Communism. This task will require
a great deal of study, in order to I'M
derstand clearly the party's policy and
program on work among women and
to correctly apply it.
Comrade Lenin said that the prole-
tariat cannot win or hold power with
out the participation of wide masses
Of proletarian women. We must bring
our message to the working woman
in the factory and to the housewife.
We must make them understand that
the woman of the working class has
no interest apart from the man
worker. That if she wants to better
her condition as a woman of the work
ing class she must struggle shoulder
to shoulder with the man worker
against the bosses and the landlords
and we must gradually lead them to-
wards full class-and political consci-

A. To work successfully in the I'M
ions it is necessary that our forces
be organized. For this purpose we
must organize party fractions in each
union where we have members. The
fraction is purely party organization
composed Of party members only. 1t
is not public organization.
5. The main task of our party frac-
lions in the unions is to organize the
left wing and progressive forces into
a movement against the bureaucrats
who are agents of the capitalists in
the labor movement and get the i'm
ions to adopt class struggle policy
instead of the present prevailing pol
icy Of cooperation with the bosses.
In the building of this left wing move
ment the actual conditions existing in
each union must be taken into CON
sideration and program elaborated
which fits these conditions and will
embrace the largest number of work
ers willing to fight for it. Abstract
propaganda will not do this. Our
point Of departure for the initiation
of left wing movements must be the
primary tissues confronting the work
ers-wages, hours and working condi-
lions.
Away From Seetarianism.
The work of party members in Lnese
left wing movements is to carry on
vigorous work to break away the
trade unionists from their craft pre-
JUDGES. This propaganda work, plus
the pressure of capitalism constantly
growing greater on the workers will
destroy the craft union psychology
and bring them to revolutionary
viewpoint.
6. Sectarianism in this left wing
work must be avoided as a plague.
1t must be ever borne in mind that
the main thing to achieve is a move
ment of workers against the capital
