MOSCOW WOMEN WORKERS ACTIVELY
PARTICIPATE IN SELF GOVERNMENT

MOSCOW, April 5.-Seventy-eight
women delegates assembled at the
delegate meeting OF the Moscow Tex
tile factory Freed Labour" to dis
cuss the coming elections to the
Soviets.
AS practically every tenth woman
worker in Russia is a delegate-the
delegate meetings are significant as
social unit in that they support the
party in carrying out the election
campaign by means of influencing
the masses of women workers and
workers wives to take an active part
in the elections, to help choose the
most worthy and most suitable mem
bers to the Soviets, and to combat
the efforts Of the internal hostile
elements, like the kulaks, nepmen
ETC., to get into the Soviets their
own people.
More Interest Shown.
The fact that in 1922 the per-
centage of women in town Soviets in
the RSFSR was 9.S per cent while
in 1925 the percentage was already
1915 per cent; women members of
village Soviets in 1922 was l per
cent, in 1870 1-2 per cent. shows
the increased interest that women
take in the political life of the coun-
try.
l asked the woman organizer of
this factory, how is il that these
women do not seem to be worried
about their home affairs? Have
they no children at home to take
care of? Mustn't they prepare
meals for their husband and family :?
Have they no house duties at all,
that they can leisurely spend 2-3
hours after work at a meeting?
Free of Home Duties.
The woman organizer of the fac
tory, herself from the weaving loom,
smiled and said
Before we could draw in our
women workers to take such active
part in the political and economic
life of our country, we had to free
them from some Of their house duties
and drudgery. We have, right here
in the factory, children's creches, and
every mother who is present in this
hall, feels quite certain that her child
is being taken good care Of by com

Nation Editor RapS
Fake China News in
Capitalist Papers

The deliberate lies about China
that have been flooding the capitalist
press in the guise of news stories
were scored by Lewis Gannett, asso-
ciate editor of the Nation, at a mass
meeting at the International House,
500 Riverside Drive, Monday night,
under the auspices of the Social Prob
lens Club of Columbia University
Frederick Moore, correspondent for
the New York Times, came in for an
especially strong drubbing at the
hands Of the Nation editor.
America hasn't any news service
in China to speak of" he said. "The
Associated Press has one man there
and depends on Reuters for the rest
of it's news" (Reuter is the British
news service, which corresponds to
the Associated Press of this country.
1t has been helping the British For
eign Office in its attempt to drag the
United States into war against the
Chinese Natialalist movement.)
The most colossal example Of the
KIND OF news we are getting" Can
nett continued, "came with the she'll
ing of Marking when our correspond
ents, particularly Frederick Moore,
of the New York Times, hardly no
tice that American and British gun
boats laid down a barrage around So

many Chinese are killed if Americans
are protected

petent nurse; as to cooking her
meals, why practically all of our
workers of this factory There are
400 workers employed) live in
workers communes; there are COM
munal kitchens, so there is no need
to worry about cooking the supper.
House cleaning is done by turns. To-
night every woman delegate is freed
from house cleaning duty, so as to
enable her to attend the meeting.
Instruct Candidates.
But | am anxious to follow the dis
cussions Of these delegates.
The chairman read the list Of in
structions to their candidate to Mos
COW Soviet; the following are some
Of the instructions:
Open another bath house in the
district.
Repair the children's creches and
kindergartens attached to the fac
tory.
Build more houses to ease the
housing problem of the workers.
Lower prices and better products
in the co-operatives.
Hasten the opening of a new
clinic.
Improve the street lighting.
Hasten the opening of another
communal kitchen in the district.
The delegate to the Moscow Soviet
is to report to his electors of this
factory once every six months.
A lively discussion followed.
Learn Politics.
After these instructions were ac-
cepted, many of the women partici-
pated in the discussion of the inn
portance Of the Soviet elections. 1t
was amazing TO watch these plain,
simple women folk, many of whom
have just liquidated their illiteracy,
and some Of whom still do not know
how to read and write, express their
views on this important political and
economic question of the Soviet gov
eminent. Two points were empha-
sized in their discussions: O) The
world bourgeoisie will Judge our
strength by the result of our cleo
tions; (2) the success of Soviet con-
struction depends on the people we
will send TO our Sovists.

FOREIGN MASTERS
IN SHANGHAI WILL
MISS old DAYS
Kicking Coolies Will No
Longer Be Luxury

WASHINGTON, April 5.--If extra
tertitoriality is doomed in China
and it seems so-we may as well be
saying Goodbye to the Shanghai we
used to Know.
This refers to the foreign city. Don't
MIX 1t with the native one.
The two are jam-up together, but
that's the only thing they have in
common.
Native Shanghai is just big Chi
nese city.
There are plenty others like it, 1t
may seem queer, to stranger, as
compared with New York or Chicago,
but not bit queer as compared with
Soochow OF Ningpo or Changsha or
many other places IN China.
There's only one foreign Shanghai.
1t has some small-ealibre imIta-
tions-one horse treaty PORTS" scat
tered along the coast or up and down
the big rivers-but to stack them up
alongside Shanghai would be like con-
trasting Podunk or Dinkyville juno
ton with Manhattan.
The international Town.
Shanghai's international. It's indie
pendent of everybody and everything
It's run by the foreign consuls.
They're mighty strict as to Chinese
residents. Everybody's agreed on that
proposition. Foreigners do about as
they please. They're answerable to
nobody except each to his respective
consul. 1t may seem as if this would
make the consuls bossy Not so. A
consul has too much sense to make
himself unpopular by annoying his
Cwn countrymen.
An American, for instance, is sup
posed to live in Shanghai subject to
American laws. He doesn't care the
flip of copper for any other laws.
He generally doesn't care much for
Americas, either. How, say, is his
consul going to make him pay any
attention to the Volstead Act!
If foreigner in Shanghai stops
short of murder or burglary, he isn't
apt to be interferred with.
All this will be changed if extra
territoriality goes by the board. The
foreigner in Shanghai, or anywhere
else in China, will be yanked up in a
Chinese court, if he does anything
contrary to local peace and good or
der.
To illustrate:
It always has been considered
among the God-given privileges of a
foreigner in China to kick 'rickshaw
coohe if he felt like. Frequently he
has felt like it.

LABOR SMASHING
BILL is BROUGHT
BEFORE COMMONS

LONDON, April 5.-The strike
smashing measure that the govern
ment die-hards have long been threat
ening to introduce came up for its
first reading last night.
The measure not only makes gen.
'eral and sympathetic strikes illegal,
but makes union members participat-
ing in them liable to civil damages,
Severe restrictions on picketing are
provided for in other clauses of the
bill.
The first clause of the bill de-
clared any strike illegal if it has "any
object in addition to the furtherance
of a trade dispute within the trade
ccrcerned." The penalty is a fine
not exceeding $1,000 or Imprisonment
no! exceeding two years.
Strikers, if the measure goes
through, will be forbidden to picket
houses or factories. Picketing The
home of a worker will be criminal
offence. The boycott and the expos
ure of any individual to ridicule OF
contempt" are also made criminal of
fences.
Political levies on union members
are forbidden unless workers contrib
ute written notices signifying their
willingness to contribute" Govern
rlent employees are forbidden to be-
long to trade unions unless such
unions are confined to civil servants
only and are independent of any out
side union.
