SENATOR Dill
URGES CONTROL.
RADIO HOOK UP

WASHINGTON, Feb (P-Greaterl
control over chain radio broadcasting
was urged today by Senator Dill, DEM
ocrat, Washington, at hearing be-
fore the senate interstate commerce
committee on the nomination of O. H.
Caldwell, of New York. as a member
of the commission.
Senator Dill, a co-aiJthor of the
radio bill under which the commits
sion was established complained that
by the hookups on chain broadcasting
the powerful stations we're able to con-
troll most of the desired channels dur
ing the best hours Of the day. Mr.
Caldwell replied that the commission
intended to investigate this. The SEN
ator said he was ready tn ask for ad-
ditional legislation If needed.
A statement by Mr. Caldwell that
he was receiving $1,000 year from
his former employers, the McGraw-
Hill Publishers, in addition to his sal
ary of $4,000 from the government
stirred spirited clash between Cou-
zens, republican, Michigan, and Wheel
er, democrat, Montana.
Senator Couzens answered Wheeler's
criticism of this circumstance with the
declaration that Caldwell's action was
comparable to senators receiving re-
tainer fees as lawyers while serving
in the senate. Wheeler denied he re-
ceived such fee but replied that
senator lawyers did perform some
srvices whereas he described Cald-
wells $1,000 as a "gratuity."
Mr.. Caldwell said the $1,000 repre-
sented the difference between his for
mer salary and present and he ac-
cepted with the understanding he
would return it to the publishing busi-
ness.
Charges of monopoly in the radio
broadcasting were stoutly denied by
Mr.. Caldwell in defending the alloca-
tions given by the commission He
did believe a monopoly of patents was
near at hand, but explained that the
commission was powerless to act in
this instance.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-03-14
By Fred Ellis

In the large industrial areas, as
many women as men participate in
the elections, and in some centers
women show a greater activity than
men. At recent elections in the
chemical, railway, food workers and
textile unions of Leningrad, there
was a greater percentage of women
voters than men. This growth in
political activity is also to be found
among the peasant women. In the
1927 elections, 80 per cent of the
peasant women voted.
The Soviet Government realized
that if woman is to become an
important factor in industry and gov
eminent, she must be relieved of
many of the irksome and wearing
duties connected with her household
and her children. AS result thou
sand of nurseries, kindergartens, and
children's Fairgrounds have been or
ganized, where children are left dur

specially trained for the work.

such laws for the protection of the

carry on her industrial and political
work without injuring her health or
that of her children. Women under

work. Night work is prohibited for
women except by special permission
of the Commissariat of Labor. In adj
dition to regular vacations and sick
leaves, women are relieved s weeks
before and weeks after childbirth,
with full pay. These social services
are also given to the wives of the
workers.
Not only are the hours of labor
much shorter in Soviet Russia than
in other countries (the Z hour day has
now been introduced) but conditions
of work are incomparably better.
Machinery is guarded, modern SAM
tary improvements are to be found in
the old plants as well as in the new
ones. The textile mills of Russia are
light, well ventilated; the workers
have short hours, can take occasional
rests from their work, and do not
know the speed-up system.

tionary days, working women were not
only very illiterate, but they had no
political or social rights whatsoever.
The Eastern women of the Caucasus
had no liberty of movement, had to
wear veil in public, were sold in
marriage jat very early age, and
had to submit to all kinds of degrade
ton.
Equality For Women.
It was Lenin who realized that
without women's help, socialism could
not be built up. He stressed the fact
that if women were kept out of social
and industrial life, if they were per-
mitted to go their ignorant way in
the narrow round of their domestic
activities, one half of humanity would
lag behind and keep the country from
developing as fast as it might. The
Soviet Government therefore placed
women on an equal basis with men
and gave them every opportunity for
development and social activity.
Women in Industry.
Until 1927 there were very few
women in the trade unions and they
rarely held any office. At present of

Farmer-Labor Youth Clubs and Labor

party exists. The League believes
that such clubs will be great help
in modelling the youth for the Labor
Party movement.
Other demands for the toiling youth
which the League will raise in the
elections include the 6-hour-day, 5-day
week for all young workers, demand
which takes into consideration the
needs in health and education of the
young workers and the unemploy-

of youth replacing adult workers at

By PAULINE ROGERS.

The figure of the woman is looming
larger and larger in the Soviet Union.
She has gradually raised herself, with
the encouraging help of the Soviet
Government, from the cowed back
breaking position of czarist days, and
now stands erect, fearless in facing
the new ideas of the country and de-
termined to help carry them out sue
cessfully. Today the women of the
U. S. S. R. participate actively in the
work of the trade unions, the CO.
operatives and the various branches
of government. They are to be found
at meetings of all important commit
tees in the factories, in the local So
viets, in the higher executive bodies,
in. the schools, universities, and in the
clubs. They participate in the organ
ization of nurseries and kindergartens
and have representation on all COM
mittees connected with children's or
CARNATIONS.
This is particularly remarkable in
view of the recent backwardness Of
the Russian women. In pre-revolu-

aid SANDING, although the official del
egation to the Havana Conference
failed in this respect.
The popular help of the Mexicans
is far more important than official
support, because it shows that the
people as a whole are bitter enemies
of imperialism, although the govern
ment invites Morrow, Lindbergh, and
the White House jester, Will Rogers,
into Mexico to parade the goodwill
of the United States.
Not only in Mexico, however, was
there response to the call for aid. In
the other Latin-American countries
prompt action to raise funds and to
build united fronts followed the APP
peal. In the United States, too, the
success has been encouraging.
All over the Latin-American CONT
nent, the slogans "Help Sandino!"
Down with Imperialism are on the
tongues of the masses, and find the
support of all labor, peasant and pro-
gressive organizations.
The success of the slogan Hands
Off Nicaragua" proves that there is
a common feeling in all Latin-Ameri-
can countries. 1t shows that the peo-
pie disclaim and denounce the actions
of the representatives of Wall Street
who spoke at the Pan-American Con-
ference in the name of their govern
ments. The support that SANDING
finds is the best proof that these dele
gates do not really represent their
countries.
The united front, under the leader
ship of the active and class-conscious
Mexican section of the All-America
Anti-Imperialist League, is fact.
Never has there been so broad a
united front, never SO good spirit
in the mass meetings Of the Anti
Imperialist League
But the Mexican workers under
stand that it is not enough to help
SANDING with money. They join not
only the united front, they join also
the All America Anti Imperialist
League, which is now real leader
among the Mexican and Latin-Amer-
lean peoples, and which will be pow
+, err tomorrow, even if the Mexican gov
eminent should sell out to Wall
Street. Eighteen new locals of the
Mexican section of the All-America
Anti-Imperialist League have been
formed. No better illustration can be
lgiven Of the success of this campaign.

Milfay Hosiery
Workers Fight
for Unionisrn
(By Federated Press)

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 10. (FP).
Full substantiation of the main griev-
ances of Milfay full-fashioned hosiery
strikers is given by the printed report
of the citizens committee which is
staging an attempt to mediate the
dispute. Owners of the Milfay firm
completely rebuffed efforts Of the
committee. Investigation of the stu
alton is now sought from the New
York state industrial survey commits
sion.
Milfay workers were locked out
last November when they refused to
sign yellow dog contracts. This is
the big issue, declares Carl Holder
man, organizer for the American Fed
Grafton of Full Fashioned Hosiery
Workers and executive board member
of the United Textile Workers. Other
grievances Of strikers which the iciti-
zens' committee lists includes:
20 hours per week for knitters, in
Guiding IA hours each for days Of
the week; 2 machines per operator
and no helper to assist after $50 p.
M; arbitrary filming system which
made a considerable pay cut each
week for minor infractions; no hear
ing for those fined; lack of ventila-
ton and proper sanitary conditions,
lowering vitality.
Demands of the workers, now or
ganized in the full fashioned hosiery
workers union, are for recognition of
their right to organize; abolition of
the 70-hour week and installation of
the 48-hour week; end of the filming
system; reinstatement of leaders as
well as rank and file of locked-out
workers.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-03-14

the $4,000 members of the textile
union 55 per cent are women. In
every other industry there is steady
growth of the number of organized
women in the unions. In 1924 women
constituted 10 per cent of the total
union membership, in 1927 the figure
has grown to 1877 per cent Besides
thousands of women hold executive
positions in their trade union organi-
cations.
There has also been considerable
increase in the number of women oc-
cupying leading positions in industry.
Everywhere in the Soviet Union
women are being promoted; they act
as foremen, masters, assistent direc-
tors and even directors of trusts and
syndicates. In Leningrad alone, in
the past three years, 657 women were
placed in higher positions in in
dustrial management. Women are
even beginning to use their initiative
and often devise ways and means of
increasing production and of sub
stituting modern methods for the old
ones still in use in some Russian
plants.

MEXICO CITY, Mar. 13-When
General SANDING asked for medical help
through his representative in Saliva
dor, DR.. Samora, to enable him to
help the heroic fighters wounded in
their fight against brutal Wall Street
intervention, the Continental Commit
tee of the All-America Anti-Imperial-
list League headquarters in Mexico)
Immediately published an appeal. This
appeal, addressed to all anti-imperial-
list and progressive organizations,
asked for the formation of a united
front to start vast propaganda cam
paign against imperialism as whole,
and to raise money to send to San
dino to support him in his fight, no
matter how many marines are landed.
This is the first time in the history
of the fight against American impe-
rialisrn that such an appeal for prac
teal and real solidarity has been
made, and it success was so great
that SANDING can be assured of the
support of the people, especially the
workers and peasants, not only of his
country but of the others where dol
lar diplomacy Expresses the masses,
and where other Sandinos are await
ing the moment to rise against illegal
foreign intervention.
Mexico first responded splendidly to
the appeal. In one week the "Comite

and it found the support of the ALI
America Anti-Imperialist League, then
of the Association of Central and
South America, and the Antilles; the
Brussels Congress; the Workers In

League; the Anti Clerical League, one
of the most important organizations
in Mexico; the foremost leader of the
anti-clerical campaign, the, we'll
known Sonora Bella Sarraga, an old
leader of the Freethought movement;
the International Labor Defense; the
Patriotic Union of Haiti; the National
Peasants League; International School
Teachers Union; United Party Of
Railroad Workers; Mexican Commu-
mist Party; Mineworkers Federation.
Since this time, organizations and
individuals throughout the entire
country have joined this united front;

Election Demands Of Young Workers

ployed, another demand which would
help to alleviate unemployment; a
minimum wage Of $50 for every work
er; protection of young workers in
industry thru abolition Of night work,
underground work or dangerous oc-
equations; also effective accident
compensation.
Vacation With Pay.
Another demand is four weeks
vacation with pay every year, some
thing that is offered those young
workers who attend the c.. M. T. c.,
but otherwise never enjoyed by the
large mass of working youth. The
League also makes demands in favor
Of the apprentices as well as for voca-
tional training, demanding work
schools with paid attendance in the
factories for all young workers be-
tween the ages Of Is and IS.
The election program of the League
will also contain special demands for
the youth as they are effected by
unemployment, which will be dealt
with separately.
