Women Workers to
Keep Worldwide
Holiday in March
By NJ. HARTLIEB.
(WOrker Correspondent

On Tuesday, March 8, the workers
of New York City are going to cele-
Drate the recent but very significant
international holiday, the Information
al Women's Day.
Since the year 1910, when this holt
day was declared at an international
conference of women at Copenhagen
under the influence of Clara Zetkin,
international Women's Day has been
celebrated in every country that
boasts of labor movement.
Thrice Enslaved.
On March the woman worker,
who is trebly exploited as a worker,
housewife and mother, dedicates her.
self anew to the struggle. The wo-
man worker is beginning to learn
that her problems are not peculiar
problems that can be solved in some
peculiar way. The woman worker is
fast realizing that her problems are
part of the problems Of the working
class as a whole, which can, and will
be solved only when the struggle OF
the working class will be fought out.
Most Exploited.
The woman, who is one Of the most
exploited workers in the present cap
italistic order, is falling in line with
other members of the oppressed class.
On international Women's Day the
great mass of the working class, the
working women, win review the les
sons that they have learned in the
process Of their struggle; solidfy
their forces, and, shoulder to shoulder
with their fellow workingmen, will
organize solidly for the abolition of
the illuminating, brutal and crush
ing system Of capitalstic exploita-
ton.

Il Dor Organizers. Attention.

Editor, DAILY WORKER wish
to cell to the attention Of the gen
eral public Of New York, and in par
ticular to the officials and organ
izers of the local labor movement
the fact that the construction work
on the subway is mostly done under
unfair and non-union conditions.
The blasters are working with nom
union drillers, non-union rockmen,
non-union laborers, non-union pow
der carriers and watchmen. The
hosting engineers on these subway
constructions are working with non
union pipefitters, non-union laborers,
non-union signal men, non-union
flagmen and non-union gasoline-com-
pressor operators.
Why didn't the delegates Of the
different so-called A. F. of L. unions
organize the men instead of giving
them the ha-ha?-A CONSTANT
READER.

Volume of Machine
Business Declines

The American Machinist reports
that the volume Of business placed
for machinery and machine tools for
the last week was somewhat below
the average. Inquiries for special
types Of machinery continue active,
but the orders are slow. Operations in
the automotive industry increased,
but was not reflected in the call for
new equipment. Activity around Chi
ago also slackened bit. New York
trading was quiet and only small
business was recorded. The Hard
ware Age records the same eondi-
lions in its field. Reports from its
various centers show very slow bust
ness.

Letters From Our Readers
Uncle sam-stingy Boss.

Editor, DAILY WORKER:-Have
you ever noticed the pinched, half
starved look and delapidated appear
ance of the drivers of our U. S.
Parcel Post (on horse wagons), who
are going about the city collecting
and delivering the U. S. mail?
My attention was called this morn
ing to these fellows, and so l spoke
to few of them in different parts
of the city.
They do not have to know any
thing, and need not furnish any
reference. In return for these cour-
tesies to them, their working hours
extend from II to IA day, for a
wage of $3.50; or in other words the
u. S. postoffice pays for an average
80 hour week of responsible work the
munificent salary of SIS.
Can the government find an ex-
cuse for entrusting responsible work
to the care of practical paupers :?
They have their nerve to holler
| 'bandit" whenever a pouch is stolen.

Gus other books on economics, inn

eral trips to Europe in the past few
years for the special purpose of
studying the changes that have gone
on in European economic and political
life since the great war; The two
courses given by him at the Workers
School are the result Of his investi-
cations and study.
British Decline Studied
"The Decline of the British En-
pire," which begins this Saturday, Feb.
II, p. M, and runs for three weeks,
deals with one of the most significant
developments in world history since
the opening Of the Goth century, a
development involving important con-
sequences for the people Of the entire
world as well as those of Great
Britain. The growth of the minority
movement in the trade unions, the

CONDOY PRAISES
ORGANIZATION OF
PASSAIC RELIEF
Herself Gives Shoes to
Prisoners Children

PASSAIC, Feb. 10.-Mrs. Sara A.
Conboy, International Financial Sec
rotary of the United Textile Workers
paid a visit to the strike zone and
presented new shoes and rubbers to
twenty-five children of the eleven
strike victims incarcerated since last
September in connection with the po-
lice bomb plot which, local strike
leaders declare, was intended to pre-
vent the American Federation of La
Dor from coming into Passaic. Five
of these men have recently been SEN
fenced to prison for three years each,
and another one is to be sentenced
next Thursday. They are all family
men, most of them with several small
children. Their families are in an
impoverished condition as a result of
the long strike and the prospect Of
facing the future with their bread
winners now behind bars are none too
bright.
This was Mrs. Cowboys first visit
to the strike zone and she spent the
DAY looking over the food stores, chill
dren's kitchens, clothing store and
picket line lunch counters operated
by the General Relief Committee Of
Local 1903, U. T. W., with the con-
tributions received from organized
labor throughout the country. She
was also taken to the picket line sta
tions and had a view of the pickets
at the two plants of the Forstmann
& Huffman company, and at the
plants Of the United Piece Dye Works,
the Gera Worsted and the New Jersey
Spinning, where the strike continues.
Mrs. Conboy expressed herself as
greatly impressed with the relief ma
ehinery and promised continued CO.
operation in raising funds to give re-
lief 10 the workers of the settled mills
who have not yet been returned to
work as well as to The strikers of the
five mills which still refuse to deal
with the union.

Thieves Tempted by
Bronx Jail Gates

Thieves visited the Bronx county
Jail in the Bronx supreme court build
ing at Third avenue and 161st street,
yesterday morning and attempted to
walk off with one of the bronze gates
of an entrance to the basement. This
was discovered when A. Wyman, Gus
todian of the building, came to work
in the morning and noticed that the
paddock had been broken open.
1t was his belief that a general Jail
delivery had not been planned, but
that the burglars had tried to pry
the bronze gate from its hinges and
sell it for junk. Bronze in worth "a
cents pound and this door weighs
about 400 pounds.

PROHIBITION TO
Be MAIN ISSUE
AT CONVENTIONS
Butler Says Republican
Party Must Be Wet

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Prohibi-
ton is to be controversial issue in
both the republican and democratic
national conventions next ycar-per-
haps the big issue.
This was unive ally accepted in
the capital today Y leaders Of both
POLITICAL parties. They deplore it, or
most of them do, but say they do
not see how it can be kept out.
Tho democrats, of course, have been
headed for a wet-and-dry fight in
1923 ever since Madison Square Car
den, and the republicans had been
congratulating themselves that they
would "let the democrats hang them
selves" on the hooks of that controv-
ersy.
Butler Now Wet Leader.
DR.. Nicholas Murray Buffers as
sumption of the leadership of the re-
publican wet wing, and his assertion
that no man can be elected in '28 who
does not take stand against the
Volstead law, has changed the party
outlook. Republican drys, headed by
Senator Borah (R) of Idaho, fairly
fell over themselves today in their
eagerness to accept DR.. Buffers chal-
lenge to thresh it out in the repub-
lican convention next year.
"The republican party, as a party,
should Enthusiastically declare itself on
this question:" said Boyah, "and
shall contribute in every way can
to force the issue to final conclusion
in the next convention"
Senator Willis to the Rescue.
"Dr. Buffers prophecies may be
lightly passed over" said Senator
Willis (R) of Ohio, the Anti-Salcon
Leagues champion in the senate.
Heretofore his political prognostica-
tons have been as faulty as his po-
litical leadership has been disastrous.
ellis announcements on the 18th
Amendment are eagerly quoted by
every lawbreaker who seeks to cover
his misdeeds with a cloak of borrowed
responsibility"
The keeness of the wet-and-dry
controversy somewhat oVershadowed
today the other bold prediction Of DR..
Butler that President Coolidge's
Common sense" would prevent his
attempting to buck the third-term
tradition. A good many republicans
in congress agreed with his predic-
ton, though most Of them did so pri-
vately.
VIII Coolidge Run Again?
Senator George II. Moses (R) Of
New Hampshire, YES an exception to
the rule of those who would only
comment privately.
81 do not think President Coolidge
will run for a third term" he said.
81 base my opinion on the same rea-
sons given by DIR. Butler and upon
other fundamental reasons not stated
by him. 1 do not, however, assume
to speak for the president"
A complete and impenetrable silence
prevailed at the White House con-
corning DR.. Buffers comments on the
third term and upon prohibition. Mr..
Coolidge has ignored all questions put
to him concerning these matters.

LORE'S ATTACK
ON COMMUNISTS
is REPUDIATED
Food Workers REFLECT
Delegates He Ousted

Amalgamated Food Workers Local
No. 164 (Bakers), listened to long
TRADE against the Workers (Com-
munist) Party and The DAILY
WORKER by Ludwig Lore, and then
rebuffed him by voting to send back
to the Volkszeitung Conference the
same delegates that Lore's group had
already refused to seat.
Called To Answer.
Lore came to the local meeting to
explain why the bakers delegates
were kept out. Instead of explaining,
he engaged in lot of arguments like
this:
eve must get rid of this nest Of
the Workers Party" "The problem
fundamentally is a Macht Kampf
(struggle for power)." "The DAILY
WORKER is dictated to by Moscow"
"The DAILY WORKER came to New
York to live off the Back of the
Volkszeitung. "These delegates
came to the conference with instruc-
tions from Workers Party caucus"
Immediately Corrected.
This last statement caused one of
the expelled delegates, Brother Au-
miller, to call Lore a liar Aumiller
stated he was not member of the
Workers Party.
Aumiller told of squads Of fake
delegates sent to the conference rep
resenting the many branches of the
very weak International Working
mems Association founded in Ameri-
ca by Lore, apparently as an insult
to Marx and Engels, who founded the
historic organization by that name.
Past Policy Different.
Brother Rosenberg, an active men,
Der of the union, tore the mask from
Lore's policy when he reminded him
how he himself created a caucus when
he was trying to put out of the edi-
torship Bella Low, and put himself
in. He also showed that Lore on the
one hand SCOTS at the Workers Party
as bankrupt" and on the other hand
resorts to the almost reckless, split
ting tactics to avoid having any of
these suspected Workers Party in
fluenced persons in his Volkszeitung
conference.
Who Pays?
Brother Fotis put the question very
clearly, "Who shall determine the
policy of the Volkszeitung If we
give our money and energy for the
paper we have a right to help de-
termine the policy of the paper and
all attempts at separating the pub
hshing association from the confer
ence is the bunk.
In his closing speech Mr.. Lore said,
81 am in favor of instructions but
from the right party. (He means the
International Worl1ingmens Associa-
tion?) If think the instructions are
not in Conference with the political and
economic conditions, will not accept
them. Shades of NapoleonD Bur-
HARM at the last enlarged executive
asked Boris Reinstein to investigate
my record, and he reported that |
was an independent Communist"
docs he really think that the c. /.
has nothing else to do but waste its
time with the likes of him?)
None Of the members could stomach
his stuff and after listening to his
long TRADE decided unanimously to
allow the expelled members to re-
main as delegates to the Volkszeitung
conference. Lore and Winter went
away from the meeting totally dis
credited.
