both sexes, yet woman's task is in
finitely more difficult. Our effort
must therefore be redoubled.
Under private property rule, man,
the male, is the more favored sex.
Because of that, his status is some
what more elevated economically, So
ciologically and culturally. Woman
must beat back the tide of centuries
of discrimination, restriction and
backwardness. Woman to a consid-
cradle extent has yet to catch up to
her male co-workers, in order to
achieve the same degree of class
consciousness enjoyed by the longer
industrialized male.
Because woman is more new to in
dustry, because of historic and physi-
illogical handicaps, woman has devel-
oped somewhat slower. That does
not stamp her as inferior. She has
not had an equal chance for cultural
development and therefore she is
more eager to hasten the day that
will bring equality of opportunity for
development. The working woman
must be drawn into the class strug-
gle. 1t is necessary to facilitate the
awakening Of her class consciousness
so as to hasten the DAY of emanci-
patton. That is the meaning Of
MARCH 8TH. To that end the revo-
lutionary movement has dedicated

woman, for the freedom of mankind.

Power Trust Takes
Huge Excess Profit

WASHINGTON, March hudson
King, director of the National Pop
ular Government League, is getting
out a circular dealing with the loot
which the power trust is taking from
the American people. King has COM
pared the price paid for electricity
in the United States, under private
ownership, with that in Ontario I'M
der public ownership.
He finds that for domestic, COM
-mercial and street lighting, the
American people are paying $780,
100000 more than they would pay if
the rates were the same as in On
tario. = Allowing for. taxes, interest
on investment and other legitimate
costs, the total of excess cost of cleo
trfcity= to. the. American people in
I92T was about $500, 000, geo.
This explains in part the activity
of the power lobby in Washington
this winter. 1t also explains the
willingness of certain of the bigger
electric interests to make terms with
organized labor, which pays much of
this bill.

class.
Woman who for centuries has been
the double victim of the private

CHICAGO, (By MaiD At a strike
meeting of window washers, local 81,
Chicago Federation of Labor, the
strikers demonstrated strong de-
termination to win the strike. The
hall, tho it is large one, was far
TOO small to accommodate all the win
dow washers who turned out.
After five weeks of struggle
against the Chicago Building Man
egers' Association, no one of the win
dow washers is for a moment con-
sidering anything but the success of
the strike.
Every member of local 81 put him
self on record to stay out. Every
member of local 81 who is working
outside the strike zone, the Chicago
loop buildings, put himself on record
as willing to support the strike or
ganizationally, morally and finan-
cially, even tho it takes his last cent.
Strikers are on the picket line,
windows are still dirty. The pros
poets of winning are very good. Other
organizations are coming to the sup
port of the window washers daily.
Up to the present time twenty-four
arrests have been made. Strikers
meetings are held every day.

State and crowded theatre sof other
kids and older folks grown young
again kept bowling with him. Only
Charlie Chaplin can do this and does
persistently to confound the super
sophisticated critics who see his ge-
MUS dimming in each successive pic
ture.
It's Charlie of old in "The Circus"
The master of slap-stick Glowing in
a picture written, acted and directed
by himself. No memorable "bits"
are in this, perhaps, as in few 9th
er pictures, particularly "The Kid"
But neither are there any dull spots
in this hilarious comedy.
Poor sap, he breaks into the circus
IN a rush, with a persistent cop be-
hind him. His escape brings the cir
Gus audience to Mysteries and Char
lie to much needed job. His antics
make him the hit of the circus tho
boob like he is unaware of it
and he asks for raise in pay only
under provocation. He gets locked
in a lions cage and he becomes a
tight-rope walker. Both occasions
are unusually good comedy. He's
told to dust gold fish bowl and does
it thoroly, busting off live fish as
well. He tumbles and stumbles and
with his perfect mimicry added,
makes ''The Circus" lively, delight
full comedy that will shake the wear
mess of hard days labor out of
your weary bones.
A few spots of unnecessary senti-
mentality do not add to the picture,
but neither do they do it much harm.
Charles Chaplin in "The Circus is
Charlie of old, clowning to your
hearts content, in derby, cane and
old shoes and turning corners at high
speed on one leg, making children
out of grown-ups. "The Circus" is
not the best that Chaplin has done.
A number of his films have been bet
ter. 1t is, however, an enjoyable
good evening, with a lot of good
hearty laughter. And that's rare.

Call Labor Party
Conference in Arnold, Pa.
by C Worker Correspondent

by Worker Correspondent
ARNOLD, Pa. (By MaiD.-The
working masses of this district are
beginning to realize that nothing can
be expected from the old capitalist
parties, Republican or Democratic.
They understand that the only way
to get rid of starvation, unemploy-
ment, low wages, injunctions, evic-
tions, tear-gassing, clubbings by
state coassacks, and the Coal and
Iron Co. gangsters and all the ter
rorism of the courts and judges who
are turned loose to smash the unions
and drive wages down and down is
to build their own Party.
They realize that only a Party of
their own, that is a Labor Party can
help them in their struggle for bet
ter conditions, for strong unions and
better life generally.
So they have called conference
at which they elected a prominent
Labor Party council made up of
trade unionists, especially miners.
The council has issued a call to all
local unions and labor organizations
to send delegates to the next general
conference of the Labor Party in
Arnold, Pa, where elections of can
didates to the various offices will
take place Every working man and
woman is invited to attend without
charge.

Bosses Behind
InsuranCeDeal
toGrab Wages
By a Worker Correspondent

(By worker Correspondents
The DAILY WORKER is a work
ers' paper and every day l read let
tiers written to it by workers from
different shops, so l thought that it
might interest you to know how in
surance companies try to squeeze out
some more profits from the saps with
the willing help of the bosses, of
course.
Today an insurance agent came up
and tried to induce the workers to
take out an industrial group insur-
ance. I remember year ago you ran
series of articles exposing the
fraudulent nature of this scheme.
The agent handed out an tan
nouncement" telling the conditions.
which were the following: You pay
in thirty cents weekly, and rest will
be paid by the company. I have a
slight idea, that rest of the balance
will go into the pocket of one of the
officials as commission. If you are
discharged before your sixtieth year,
then you lose all that you paid in,
and our factory changes it's employees
very frequently.
In case of sickness they very
vaguely promise weekly ten bucks
but you can never tell where the trick
is when all the conditions are very
indefinite.
The company lent willing hand
to the Hartford Insurance Co., which
comes out with this scheme. 1t is
one more way to make profits from
the little pittance we workers get.
It is clear at the same time, because
the bosses are let out of their duty
TO insure the men. Of course there
is no need to have state insurance
which comprehensively would insure
us who bear the brunt of the burden
of the society. What we need is state
protection on the job, when you are
sick or cut of a job. Of course you
cannot expect such laws from the
imperialist parties of this country.
We are out to build party which
will fight for the workers rights.

mailed to me by my son, a strillin
miner in Illinois. AS have not see.
it published in any of our papers i
struck me that you might not hav
seen a copy. Here it is and it will.
explain itself.
Mr.. Robert Fulton,
707 E. Walnut ST.,
Gillespie, Ill.
Dear Sir:
So you are on strike?
And because you are on strike you
think that we who work eight hours
every day in the week should sup
port you while you lay around and do
nothing.
Why are you on strike?
Because you are not man enough
to bargain with the world on your
own merit. You can not say to your
employer, 81 do so much work, and
so much better than such and such a
man and SO / should have more pay,
which should be the true basis OF IN
creased salary.
Instead you get in with a bunch OF
loafers who are too lazy to increase
their efficiency, and say "We'n lay
off for a few months, and then the
boss will realize how important we
are" And while you are laying Off
YOU live on the products of the labor
of others-parasite on the Nation.
Strike" is high toned name for
plain Ornery Laziness."
If your creditors all sue you, you
will have to pay cash for everything
you get-and to do that you will
have to work to live.
The first settlers of Virginia were
gentlemen who thought themselves
too good to work-the decree went
out, Those who would eat must
work" The condition is now re-
versed-the laboring man is now too
proud to work, and the same decree
will have to be issued against them.
Creditors victimized by lazy strik-
ers can put stop to this yearly loss
by merciIessly closing down on each
bad debtor who uses this way of
avoiding payment of his just obliga-
ton.
Yours very truly,
ELMER RICHARDS COMPANY.

In replying use back of this letter.
Editors Note: This reproduction
of a Company letter, published by
Elmer Richards in Chicago, is one of
those insidious doses of venom with
which the bosses hope to poison the
strikers and sap their morale.
Here they are attempting to at
tack the strikers working class self
respect by calling them loafers be-
cause they have turned against the
hell which the bosses have made of
their lives, and are fighting the
bosses for the right to get at least
as much to eat and as good barns to
sleep in as cattle get. In reality it
is the boss who is the "loafer," and it
is because the worker has found this
out and is threatening to drive him
from his privileged post as the true
parasite on the nation" that is on
the labor, and hence the life of the
workers, that the bosses are fright
ened and will not stop at any means
to defeat the workers, and whip them
back to slavery.)

Women Strike
III Umbrella
Shop for Raise
by a Worker Correspondent

f>N'NNN~'NN'S
Our. shop has been on strike for
two weeks. We all belong to the
Umbrella and Handle Makers Union
and worked at the Famous Umbrella
Shop, 80 East 21st St. We joined
the union years ago because we didn't
want to have to take our work home
in order to make enough money to
live on.
In our trade we get paid by the
piece and the very fastest can't make
more than $25, even though they
work ten and twelve hours of the
day. Most workers don't make more
than SIS, and some not even $12.
Then they take the materials home
with them and work until late at
night in order to make few dollars
more. In the umbrella stores, most
of the workers have to work until 8
to 9 O'Clock at night anyway.
There are over 1000 workers in
our trade, but most of them are not
organized. They work often in shops
of from 30 to 80 workers, and from
4S to so hours weekly. There are
many small shops, too.
Our shop is only a small one, just
seven of US, but every one is on the
picket line. We came out when the
boss cut our wages, and we will not
go back for any lower wages than we
were getting before the cut We will
fight until we get better conditions.
