THE HOUSEWIFE AS A FACTOR
IN THE SOCIAL REVOLUTION

Isprung up all over the country to feed
the strikers. Solidarity lends courage,
and the wife of the striker can easily
be drawn into organizations to become
an active, positive factor in the class
struggle.
The fact that the housewife can be
lorganized on the basis of protecting
the interests of her children was
proven by the mothers strike in Will
liamsburg, New York, when the chill
dren had to go to a distant school thru
dangerous crossing.
The Housewife and Cooperation.
The housewife is the great consumer
Of the world; it is she who has to
dispense the wages earned by the
worker to meet the needs of the fam
lily. We, therefore, find that the bulk
of the membership of consumers CO.
Operatives all thru the world consists
OF housewives BY organizing COOP

among the existing ones the house
wife's administrative function can be
developed (not to speak of the ire

medium for education). This is one
of the sure weapons used by the Soviet
State to develop the class conscious
ness of the women under Lenin's slo-
gan that every cook shall learn to

Our comrades have looked slight

1t has taken Passaic to convince
some Of them of the need for that
work. And yet the battle is only half

| Senator Norbeck of South Dakota,
who comes from farm state and for
the most part lines up with the Nor.
gan coalition of republicans and demo-
Gratis, played the most odious role in
his opposition to the bill. He contend
ed that it would benefit the workers
on the railroads to the detriment of
the farmers and after the bill was
passed submitted an amendment to
the title to read: "a bill to increase
the farmers working day from IA to
16 hours and to- reduce the railroad
mems working day from to 7 hours"
Other senators participated in this
sort Of low demagogy, calculated to
arouse antagonism on the part of the
farmers against the industrial work
ers.
There was not one man in either
the house or the senate TO arise and
expose the whole dIsgraceful affair as
a measure to cripple the unions which
the workers, thru years of struggle
and sacrifice, had built UP, and at
the same time to strengthen the hold
of monopolistic capitalism upon all
the roads of the country. No one de-
Tended the joint interests of the two
great exploited sections Of the popu-
lation, the workers and the farmers.
= How IT VIII Work.
ELABORATE machinery is to be set
IL up in order to carry out the provi-
sions of the bill. The first step is the
creation of the familiar company
union boards of adjustment which
shall "be created by agreement be-
tween any carrier or group of carriers,
or the carriers as a whole with its or
their employees" Certain rules are
laid down regarding procedure as well
as to limitation of time.
If such boards of adjustment, COM
posed of an equal number of repres-
entatives of the management and the
workers, fail to reach an agreement,
the matter will be referred to
bureaucratic board Of mediation crea-
ted by the bill. This board will consist
of five members appointed by the
president of the United States and
confirmed by the senate and their
salaries will be $4,000 per year each.
1t can readily be seen that in case
real representatives of the railroad

workers, instead of company tools,
masquerading as labor representa-
tives, succeed in getting on the board
Of the company the matter will then
be turned over to the agents Of the
government of the United States,
which exists for the one purpose of
keeping the working class in sub
lection and defending the interests Of
the capitalist class in general.
But even then the decision is not
final, for there is still further appeal
to a board of arbitration, provided for
by the Watson-Parker bill. The deci
sions of the board of arbitration are
to be filed with the federal district
court, which is directed to enter
judgments in accordance with the
awards, which Judgment shall be final
and conclusive for the parties"
THUS, IF THE WORKERS RE-
FUSE TO ABIDE BY SUCH JUDO
MENTS THEY MAY BE JAILED
WITHOUT TRIAL FOR CONTEMPT
OF COURT. This is the sum-total of
the great victory obtained for the
railroad workers by the Watson-Park-
er bill, which obviously precludes the
use of the strike weapon and other
wise delivers the unions into the
hands of the employers and their gov.
eminent.
In addition to legalizing Atterburys
union-wrecking policy and virtually
enforcing industrial CONSUMPTION, In
asmuch as it denies the right to strike,
it also serves to enable the government
to place the railroads on a war basis
in the shortest possible time. Like all
other important legislation of the gov
eminent provision is made for the
next imperialist slaughter wherein
the exploited workers and farmers will
be expected to defend with their lives
the right of their masters to exploit
still more slaves.
Certainly the performance of the so
called friends of labor" at Washing
ton emphasizes the necessity for labor
creating its own party so that at least
few voices may be raised in its
behalf in order to expose the nefarious
role of the LaFollettes and Wheelers
as well as the regular Morgan coali-
ton.

bring the conspiracy before the CON
ventions for fear representatives of
the rank and file might ask embarass-
ing questions regarding the union
heads flirting with the notorious labor
hater, Atterbury, who has for years
devoted his talents to union-smashing.
Alfred p. Thorn, a corporation law
yer of considerable reputation, who is
counsel of the association of railway
executives, made The first draft of
what is now known as the Watson
Parker bill. In testnying before the
house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce Thorn inadvertently
exposed the vile manner in which the
labor officials betrayed their members.
In the report of ther hearings on page
109, Thorn testified:
shortly after the adjournment Of
congress the matter (of relations
between the roads and their en-
ployees) was taken up again, but it
was impossible for time for these
gentlemen (the labor fakers) to
have a conference because of a
series of annual conventions of the
labor organizations, which began in
the Spring and finished in the early
summer Of 1925. AS soon as these
were out of the way the matter was
taken up again, this time in a more
representative and authorized FORM"
Meanwhile unofficial" conyersa-
tions with certain labor leaders were
being conducted In these preliminary
negotiations Daniel Willard, who,
with the connivance of William H.
Johnston, head of the International
Association of Machinists, had intro
duced system of company unionism
(known as the B. & o. plan) on his
railroad, was the go-between.
Thorn, the railroad attorney, further
testified that a subcommittee was ap-
pointed to go into the situation with
the representatives of the railroad
unions. This subcommittee for the
employers consisted of Atterbury, as
chairman, Crowley, Markham, Holden
and Willard, all railroad presidents.
The committee for the railroad
unions, whose names should be re-
membered by all railroad workers for
the despicable role they played in this
affair, consisted of William B. Premier

BY RAY E. BENNETT.

NEW YORK, May 19-If the worker
is exploited, the housewife is doubly
SO. His long hours put upon her
shoulders the entire burden of main
tanning the home and rearing the chill
dren; his low wages have to be
stretched by her to provide him with
energy for continuing his work and to
feed, clothe and shelter the children.
She has to face the squalor of the
home, its grind and the suffering that
comes from the realization that her
children are underfed inadequately
clothed and sheltered, poorly taught;
that they are being won over into the
enemy's camp in the schools, the rec
reation centers, thru the press and
the movies.
The Housewife and the Glass Struggle.
The brunt of strike, after all, falls
less on the worker, in spite of his
suffering, police clubbing and gangster
blows, than on the housewife, who
has to face the empty larder and hun
CRY childrens eyes. This has been
the reason why the working-class
housewife, being unorganized, has
acted as a reactionary force in strikes,
often keeping workers from striking
or forcing them into a premature set
Element.
Organized, however, they present a
different picture. When woman
knows that her children will be fed
in a kitchen run by other mothers and
clothed by them she will make her
man hold out for better conditions, and
will actively participate in the strike.
See how the housewives have turned
out on the picket lines in Passaic and
brought their children with them.

gency kitchens that have suddenly

gineers; David B. Robertson of the

men; L. e. Sheppard of the Conduc-
tors, and one Doak, a vice-president
of the Trainmens organization.
At meeting of the joint committee
held at Thom's Office in Chicago on
December q, 1925, the bill, substan-
TALLY in the form in which it was
passed, was adopted, ready to be turn
ed over to the political lackeys of the
railroads at Washington.
The Senate Alignment.
THE bill, known as House Resolu-
ton No. 9463 was introduced and
adopted by the house of congress,
with the so-called friends of labor"
voting with known agents of the rail-
road barons. Then it was sent to the
cave of the winds known as the United
States senate where the so-called in
surgents, Wheeler, LaFollette and
Frazier, joined hands with James e.
Watson, William H. Butler, Irvine L.
Lenroot, George Wharton Pepper,
Frank B. Willis and Reed Smoot, to
put over the Watson-Parker swindle
against the workers on the railroads.
Not one voice, during all the debates
in the senate, was raised in behalf of
labor. Just as the officials of the
unions and the railway presidents in
the preliminary stages of the con-
spiracy were one against labor, so on
the floor of the senate the heroes of
the defunct LaFollette petty bour-
geois third party were one with the
Wall Street brigade.
The thirteen senators who opposed
the bill did so not because of their
desire to avert the blow aimed at la
Dor, but for various other reasons.
Senator Reed of Missouri opposed it
on the ground that it might be dis
advantageous to the smaller railroads,
particularly those lines running out of
st. Louis and Kansas City to the
southwest. He. viewed it as a "con-
spiracy" between the railroad owners
and the unions to impose high rates
upon the public and also force the
smaller roads into mergers with the
larger ones, thereby increasing mono
Ipolistic holdings of railroad property.
