Woman Fighters in Hamburg

DURING the great strike of Au-
Ogust, 1928, which brought about
the downfall of the Cuno govern
ment, the women of Hamburg proved
that they are not hindrance to their
men but ready to spur them on. Out
side the great docks they did most
of the picketing, forming a living
chain, hand to hand, closing all roads
to the harbor. They would not let
their husbands, sons or others be
sweated any longer for miserable
wages scarcely exceeding tips.
Womens Appeal Decisive.
Those Of the lockers who had not
made up their minds were decided
by this. And when the strikers
gathered in great mass meetings
outside the docks, it was the women
who led them in one vast demonstra-
ton through the town. Better die
fighting than suffer famine for the
sake Of SHINES and Co.." the women
shouted to the men.
And it was not "mere words"
When the Social Democrat" police
chief ordered the police to fire on
the strikers, it was the women who,
fighting bravely in the front. ranks
against the hired murderers of the
working class, spurred on their COM
rades to greater efforts.
The Second Great Struggle.
Then, two months later came the
greater struggle. In the early morn
ing of October %, the working class
districts of Hamburg became a bat
tlefield. Thirteen police stations
were taken by surprise and stormed
at the same moment.
The news spread like lightning.
The capitalists, all a-tremble, hur-
riedly modified their mercenaries.

For a WOmen's Section

MARCH 8 is very big day for the
working women of the world. 1t
should be big day for us in Amer
lea. Tho the celebration of Inter-
national Women's Day originated in
the United States, yet during the
past decade its celebration was very
sadly neglected.
Now that we are planning and
working more among the masses Of
women in America, we must also en-
large the celebration of information
al Women's Day. Today, when the
American working class is faced
with the probabilities of war, when
American Imperialism, like the
mythical dragon, lifts its head and
trys to demolish the little countries
Of Central America, such as Mica
ragua, when it continues to fight
with Mexico and China, it is high
time for the American working class
to say something. Especially so for
the mothers, whose sons will have to
fight the battles Of the imperialists.
On this years international Wo-
mems Day, March 8, we, the work.
ing women Of America, must raise
our voices against Imperialism and
the impending war.
The Lithuanian Working Women's
Alliance. with its two thousand men,
bers, heartily greets the. only Com
munist daily in the world in the Eng
lish language-The DAILY WORK
Err We cannot for moment forget
the Importance Of The DAILY
WORKER in all our struggles
against the oppressors. To substan-
tiate our good wishes we herewith
send ten dollars to The DAILY
WORKER.
As a suggestion we would add. IL
would be very good to have a Wo-
mems Section in The DAILY WORK
Err appear regularly.

Victory Is Certain

BY KRUPSKAYA (Lenin's Wife,
L ROM the conception of Lenin re-
4 garding the class struggle, there
arises his attitude to the women's
question. The proletarian women
form a section. of the working class
who, as a result of their conditions
of life and work, are generally on a
lower level of class-consciousness
than the remainder. Lenin always
emphasized that great attention must
be devoted to this section of the
working class, and that party work
among the proletarian women is of
the greatest Importance.
| remember one occasion in 1921,
when | went along with Lenin from
the Trade Union House, where he
had delivered lecture, to the Krem-
lin. On the way we met a great
delegation Of Mohammedan women.
Some of them still wore the "Tsha-
dra"-the veil which they wear over
the face when in the presence Of
men. They recognized Lenin. en-
braced him, tore off their Tshadras,
spoke to him, and wept. Lenin was
visibly touched.
He addressed a few words to the
Mohammedan women, and then we
proceeded on our way. After Lenin
had been walking on in silence for
some minutes, he said: "You see,
the most backward sections of the
toilers have advanced, these women
they are the most enslaved, they
are the rear-guard Of the whole
world. Now Socialism is sure of its
victory"
Yes, it is true; Socialism is sure
Of its victory.

NO ALARM CLOCKS
 USEDBY ACCENTS
Nasty Breakfast and Rush for
 Train Not Known Then

Carl s. Neumann spoke on "The
 History of Clock Making" at the
 regular weekly meeting of the Xii
 wanis club this noon at the Burritt
 hotel.
 | MT. Neumann outlined the history
 of time keeping from the days of the sun dial to the present. trenlstorlc
 man, he said, had no need tor a time keeper, being entirely at leisure
 to accomplish the few simple things
 which We're scheduled tor his day. Later. however, with the advent of civilization. man found need for some article which could keep him informed concerning the passage of the day, and from this need evolved the sun dial. At first this was in- efficient, and events moved on to the water clock which employed the steady flow of water from one yes- sel to another to mark the hours These being bulky, gave way to sand glasses and later to candles and wicks, which burned steadily past marks denoting the hours of the day.
 To the monasteries, the old time
 refuge in medieval days, is laid the beginning of the gong clock. Need ed to inform the inmates concern ing the time of prayers and masses, the monks worked out mechanism which sounded the hours as they passed. The work clock" the speaker pointed out, comes from the French word 'cloche." meaning bell The further history of clock mak- ing. through the Nuremburg watch period until the evolution of the spring watch. was explained. The history of clock making in the United States brought the talk close to New England and as the firms which first made clocks in this coun- try were mentioned, New Britain and Berlin sprang into the limelight as providing the peddlers which first gave a market to wholesale clock making.
 John Hannon was hailed as being future benedict and a gift to the future Mrs. Hannon was presented by the club.

RUSSIANS WELCOME
 TRADE 0IL WAR
Think It Would Benefit Their
 Business

Berlin, July 27 (UP)-War in the oil business seemed welcome today to the Russian interests which have contracted to supply the Standard Oil company of New York and the Vacuum Oil Co., with oil for eastern markets.
 Nicholas solovioff. president of the Soviet Russian Naptha syndicate, with which the Standard of New York has a contract, directed a counter attack against the Royal Dutch Shell organization in an in terview here with the United Press Sir Henri Deterding. president of the Shell organization. condemned the Standard of New York for en- tering into agreement with Soviet Russia.
 The Royal Dutch Shell anti-Soviet campaign, Soloviofk said, already has proved ineffective. In the midst of what he described as Sir Henri's campaign against Russian oil and the naptha syndicate. Russia con- cluded new contracts with the French and Italian naval ministries, he said. It was presumed from this that the navies of France and Italy. both states being strongly anti-com- munistic. would operate in part on fuel obtained from the communistic state.
 Our answer to the Royal Dutch," said Solovioff, Twill be to increase production and export of Russian oil which already is twice the pre-war Russian exports.
 The Standard Oil company of New York henceforth will sell Rus- sian oil in markets where the Royal Dutch hitherto has marketed it's own bunker oil"
 Solovioff suggested that this con- flict of markets rather than moral issues had motivated Sir Henris ob- jections to the agreement.

Grand Jury Investigations Con.

Me Cray to secure appointment of a friendly prosecutor in Marion county or resign.
 It was alleged Jackson's faction offered McCray s10,000 for the prosecutor appointment and also of fered to guarantee that the execu- tive would not be found guilty of criminal charges in connection with his financial situation.

Joe. the Hotdog Man,
 Still on the Job

scarsdale, N Y. July 27 uP)- Joe, the hotdog man, paraded the streets of Scarsdale as usual today in his little wagon with dangling hell. and sold hotdogs to such law breakers as cared to buy. But coh- stantly he expected to feel the heavy hand of a policeman fall upon his culpable shoulder.
 The village board met last night and declined to repeal it's ordinance forbidding the sale of toothsome frankfurters on the streets. It was agreed. with Joe's consent. to make of him test case to discover wheth- CT the ban was constitutional.
 So sometime today Joe will be ar rested and will be listed on the po- lice blotter as Castas Hitalikides. And the battle to preserve the per sonal liberty Of the hotdog flend will be under way.
