This is war talk. The roar of the British
hon echoes the shrek of the American eagle
The historical analogy Germany before the
tragedy of 1914" is correct. Whereas for
number OF years before the war the pivotal
point In the world situation was the an
tagonlsms between England and Germany,
today the central point of imperialist conflict
is between England and the United States.
The British field marshal, however, in
spite OF his War-like rejoinder to the iingoism
OF Coolidge, cannot entirely free himself
from the practice, now become almost
habltual through long usage, of resorting to
pacifist deception, by bringing UP the cues
ton of the League of Nations and the KEEL
logg pact. AS for the league only the veriest
dolt believes that it was conceived as any,
thing other than weapon with which to
realize an ambitious dream of world i'm
perialism. The Kellogg pact was partly an
attempt to offset the disarmament proposals
OF the Soviet Union that exposed the pacifist
pretenses of the capitalist statesmen of the
world as hypocrisy. That part of the pact
we are sure would meet favorable response
even from Field Marshal Sir William Robert
son. But there was another motive involved
IN the Kellogg proposal; that was another
step toward securing the leadership of world
reaction That part of the pact was directed
against Brltaln's nlaneuvering in Europe; an
effort to align European nations on the side
OF the United States as against England Ger
talnly every spokesman of either British or
American Imperialism understands the real
meaning of the Kellogg pact as another piece

E great ostentation and endless drivel about

Coolidge and the War-talk it evoked from the
other side of the Atlantic is a danger signal
for the working class. This preparation for
another world war must be relentlessly COM

Everywhere throughout the country great
mass demonstrations and meetings must be

farmers, must be aroused against the i'm

great basic industries, must be organized

leaders Of the Communist Party as
the instigator of his deed.
Della Maggiora warded this in
situation off with rage and declared
and repeated again and again that
the whole responsibility for his deed
fell upon him alone and that the
Communist Party had nothing what
soever to do with it.
A Great Speech.
During the hearing Della Mag
giora showed such a resoluteness
and courage that the judges and the
waiting public, kept, out by the mil
tia, could not get over the wonder.
Della Maggiora spoke over an hour.
He began by describing his political
past, how in his youth he had joined
the socialist movement and why he
later joined the Communist Party.
He then portrayed the condition in
his home town when fascism erected
its regime of terror, destroyed the
workers organizations, murdered
the best fighters of the working
class or forced them to emigrate.
Della Maggiora's brother was beaten
by the fascists. he himself saved
himself by going to France, where
he remained for some years. Re-
turning to Italy, existence was
made impossible for him by sys-
tematic persecution and provocation
We want to repeat Della Maggiora's
own words with which he pictured
his fearful existence in his home
town:

same burden as myself. We were M

War Talk

Thousands of facts, miitariSt, economic
and political, have been adduced to emphasize
the ominous approach Of another world catas-
trophe, wherein the imperialist nations of
the earth will endeavor to hurl millions upon
millions of workers and farmers into the
slaughter house of another war. The world
wide economic conflicts between the United
States and Great Britain, that the Commu-
nists have long analysed as containing the
germs of a new world war, were ignored I'M
til recently in the political utterances of the
statesmen speaking in behalf of the two i'm
periahsms.
1t is only during the past year and / n
that the language of diplomacy was inte-.
rupted by belligerent utterances from both
sides of the Atlantic.
With the election of Hoover came new
sharp turn of American imperialist agrees
sion, more brutal and cynical than ever be-
fore. The Coolidge Armistice Day speech was
an insoent challenge to Great Britain. This
White House puppet accustomed to drooling
weasel words and conceaing his innperialist
policies behind pacifist phrases suddenly
launched forth with snarling venenous at
tack upon the naval program of Great
Britain and proclaimed that the navy build
ing program of the United States must be
such as to make this country second to
none" There could be no doubt as to the
attack being leveed against Britain, for the
simple reason that that country is the only
one with navy that can equal the one main
tanned by the United States. The Baldwin
tory government was dumbfounded for a
time. It's position at home was so precarious
after the fiasco of the Anglo-French naval
accord that was withdrawn because of the
fierce assaults it evoked from the United
States and from the attacks of its political OPP
ponents at home that it dared not take up
the challenge and reply in kind to Coolidge.
1t did not take long, however, for it to be-
come audible through other than diplomatic
channels 1t selected as its spokesman not
a diplomat, but what passes in newspaper
fiction as "a plain, blunt military man." in
the person of Field Marshal Sir William
Robertson. Replying to Coolidge's utterances
on Armistice Day, the field marshal said:

The Wage Fight of the German Mill Girls
By Fred Ellis

This is fresh proof that the re-
formists are prepared to meet the
industrialists even before the fight,
for it should be stressed that the
wages of the textile workers in Sax
ony are the lowest in the whole of
Germany. 1t is great scandal that
the textile workers union has de-
manded lower wage advance for
the women than for the male work
ers. From this fact every mill girl
should recognize that the trade
union bureaucrats do not represent
their interests.
The demands for the working
women, as represented by the trade
union opposition at the German
Federation of Trades Union Con-
gress, were as follows:
Equal wages for equal work."
away with the women's wages
from the wage contracts!"
1t is only under these slogans that
just fight for the Improvement OF
the economic position of the women
workers can be carried on.

up the fight of these workers, too.
Instead of taking into account the

Chemnitz, the following demands:
"For male workers over 20 years
of age 10 pfennigs per hour; for
female workers over 20 years of

wage rates and supplements to be
raised in proportion; all other sup

Letter from Japanese Working Woman

When she first came to the mill,
she was strong, healthy young wo-
man. But after two months of work
in the mill she became i'll and suf-
fered with her lungs, as we all
do here. The company forced her to
continue at work, as they were anx-
ious about. the advances made to her.
1t was terrible work. The drops
of hot water from the steam of the
machines fell on her face and head,
while her feet almost fr6ze to the
wet, cold floor The rubber aprons
make the legs and body cold, and
they are also very heavy.
One day, when she was already
very i'll, Hissa was working without
her apron. When the overseer be-
gan to shout at her, she said that
she was not able to stand the weight
of the heavy apron, as she was very
i'll and could hardly stand on her
feet. The overseer flew at her and
began to beat her. From that day
on Hissa could not get up; she spat
blood until she died. There are
thousar1s of such cases.
UniOnize and Strike.
cannot describe our unhappy lot;
| should have to talk day and night.
The will and the ideas of an in
dividual being will not suffice to re-
lease us from this life, or, rather,
to save us from this death. We must
unite.
Last month we entered the trade
union and two days ago we began
to strike for an improvement of our
position and an increase of wages.
We are in difficult situation, but
we shall fight bitterly to bring the
strike to successful issue and to
vindicate our right to live.

Overseers Attack Girls.

That, however, is not the worst.
The overseers in our mill, impudent
scoundrels, can do just what they
like. Woe to the girl who does not
submit to them! She is put on a
bad machine and endless fines are
inflicted upon her. For us this is
such a menace that we are very I'M
happy. The company never takes
any notice of our complaints.
Listen again, comrades! For the
work in the mill we must buy a
pair of overalls at yen, SO sen; a
hat, a cape and rubber apron at
1876 sen. For all these things we pay
double prices at the shop belonging
to the company, so that these eX-
penses swallow up our miserable
pay. We can leave the mill on Sun
days only, but it often happens that
even on Sundays we are prevented
on one pretext' or another from 60
ing out, and we have to spend the
day indoors.
Sick Forced to Work.
If a girl becomes ill, she is not
permitted to remain in the hotel;
she has to go to work like the 9TH
ers; indeed, she must work still
harder than the healthy ones, for
the company is afraid through her
death to lose the advances made to
her and is therefore anxious to re-
cover as much as possible while the
chance remains. If girl is so i'll
that she cannot get out of bed, the
overseer goes up and drags her out.
Numerous girls die in the mill at
the machines.
There are only two ways out of
the factory: to the hospital or to
the graveyard. The hospital is so
terrible that we call it the sepulchre.
Nobody who enters there ever re-
tIrns. They give one cup of rice
per day there. When the attendants
bring the food, they hit the patients
en- the head as sign to sit up and
eat. We have no faith in the medi-
cines that are given there, for they
have never done anybody any good.
Health Ruined Rapidly.
Our sleeping quarters are dusty
and dirty, and ray Of sunshine
never finds it's way in there. They
are like terrible prison. The girls
from the North all fall i'll here; this
year no more of them have entered
the mill. But the worst off of al
az the peasant girls, who are used
to the fresh air Of the fields.
l will tell you, comrades, the story
Of woman who wo.....cd along witt
Us. Her name was Hissa. She came
from the northeast of Japan.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-12-11

Women comrades! You must hear
how we live! We work the whole
day amidst tears and at night our
troubled dreams give us no peace.
What we have to suffer is more
than human strength can bear.
Terrible Food.
At half past four the overseer
wakes us up roughly, and at five
o'clock we are in the dining room
of the factory. Bad, cheap rice, such
as we never ate at home, constitutes
breakfast. The soup has neither
strength nor juice, it is merely salt
water. Then we get two or three
pieces of sailed turnip, and that is
all.
We cannot eat this stuff, for it
makes US sick. But one must either
eat or starve, and we must pay very
much for this food. If we come in
too late for breakfast, we are beaten
by. the overseer..
The days work begins. We work
the whole day in the sweat of our
brows. But we get only 70 to rs
sen. The unskilled girls, when first
taken on, get SIS sen.
No Pay at End of :, Month.
If we are working in the textile
section, on bad machines, we pro-
duce bad material which tears, and
for this we get blows and deductions
from our pay. Sometimes, as pun
ishment, a girl is put on unskilled
work at a wage of so sen.
I If, in spite of this, we succeed in
earning something, at the end of the
month we hardly have a few yen
over, for, in addition to the fines,
! the company makes various other
deductions from our wages for in
sufance, etc. And none of us has
the courage to protest.
Work 1874 Hours Daily.
We work from six in the morning
without interruption and without
anything to eat, until noon. At mid
day we are at liberty to eat, but
as the machines are still running
and work is not interrupted, one
girl must attend ito two machines
while the other girl gulps down o
little food. We have learnt to cal
at the run.
They do not leave us time ever
to drink a cup Of hot water during
hours. The canteen is so far away
that those working on the night shift
eat at the dirty machines.
In the afternoon we work or unit
six in the evening anG even longer
without minutes interval. The re
suit is working day averaging
thirteen TO fourteen hours.

The execution of Della Maggiora
was for the fascists of Tuscany an
opportunity to put on their war
equipment and terrorize the popula-
ton. For the shooting of revolu-
tionary worker the whole fascist
militia of a whole province was
modified. The city of Lucca, where
the trial took place and where Della
Mazziora was held until his execu-
ton, was in stage of seige.
His home town, Ponte Buggianese,
was decided upon as the place of
execution. About 600 black-shirts
were concentrated here. The inhabi-
tants of the place lived thru fearful
hours. Reports of reprisals of the
fascists bombarded the inhabitants
like bail storm. In the early NOR
ming Of October Is Della Maggiora
was conducted to the place of execu-
ton in the neighborhood of the
cemetery. His bearing made a deep
impression upon everybody. He
leaped from the auto briskly and
advanced to the execution spot with
strong steps. When they took off
his handouts in order to tie his
arms, he called out:

We recently learned some interest
ing details concerning the trial and
the execution of the Italian Commu-
mist, Della Maggiora, which we wish
to bring to the knowledge of every
body because it throws a lurid light
on the shameful justice methods of
fascism and presents a true picture
of the personality of the executed
Communist as opposed to the lying
reports of the fascist press.
The bearing of Della Maggiora be-
fore the fascist judges and before
the weapons of the execution patrol
presents him to us as strong-char-
actered and bold fighter, as a true
follower of his ideal.
As is known, the defendant was
not allowed to choose a defense at
torney whom he could trust. When
one of the two military lawyers,
who were assigned by the govern
ment to defend him, opened his talk
with greeting to Mussolini, Della
Maggiora arose from the defense
bench and declared that the defense
attorney was only speaking for him
self and that the defendant in no
way approved of it. When in the
further course of the trial the mill
tary lawyer INDUCED in new hymns
of praise to fascism, Della Maggiora
declared that he denied every re-
sponsibility for the declarations of
his attorney and demanded that he
e allowed to defend himself.
