Women Workers in China

The growing exploitation of the
workers by foreign and national
capital, coupled with the growth of
political consciousness among the
Chinese working class, have resulted
in confronting the working women
in China with the task of assisting
in the struggle Of the working class
for political and economic emanci-
patton.
The Chinese woman has long since
realized that the strength of the
working class consists in it's solidar-
ity and organization.
The first organizations of women
in China were the Women's Unions,
modelled after the women's organ
izations in Europe and America.
49S,OOO Women Organized.
There are women's organizations
in the Human province with about
100000 members, while in the rest
Of China there are 238,0OO members
in the women's organizations Who
are the members of the Women's
Unions? Hitherto they constituted
mixed organizations with pre-
valence of the intellectual and petty
bourgeois elements of the towns
and only IN Human the members
consist mostly Of agricultural and
industrial working women and
housewives.
The objective of the Women's
Unions is to gain formal political
liberties for women, and it is only
the cultural and political backward
ness of the working women which
keeps her in the organizations.
Since 1922 a wave of strikes swept
through China, and having orig
mated upon economic grounds, the
strikes naturally assumed a political
character. In the course of three
strikes there were special demands
raised by the revolutionary trade
unions on behalf of the working
women. Some of these demands
have been partly granted by the
employers.
Strikes Educate Women.
These strikes had tremendous
educational influence upon the work
ing women. Their class-conscipus-
ness aroused, they took an active
part in the strikes and quit the
feminist organizations, forming
their own special trade unions, or
getting into line with the general
trade unions of the workers.
Altogether there are now $4,000
women organized in the Chinese
trade unions.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-08-11

During the New Bedford strike, it is commonly
said, the small store-keepers and petty business
class generally has been friendly to the strik-
ers, due to the fact that the cruelty low wages
of the textile workers were already too small
to enable the workers to supply their families
with even the necessities of life, and that the
proposed new 10 per cent cut would play still
more havoc with the trade of the small mer-
chants of the community. A friendly attitude
of this sort on the part of the small merchant
class, while it lasts, is an advantage to the
striking workers. But it has it dangers, too.
The petty capitalist class has none of the stead
fast qualities of the genuine Wage-working
class, does not see with working class eyes, and
by the nature of its class character wavers be-
tween momentary sympathy with the work
ers Gin situation like this) and the real bust
ness men" of the community, the mill owners.
1t is quite consistent that the words above
quoted from the Nation" appear in the same
editorial column which begins with an endorse
ment of the socialist party major issues of
peace, Freedom and Plenty" and wishing Mr..
Thomas ''every success in his effort to persuade
people :" etc.
Can anybody find a line of distinction be-
tween the socialist party and this camp of lib
eralsm, with its disguised and filthy strike
breaking propaganda IN It's standard organ OF
which the Reverend Thomas, socialist party
candidate for president, is a contributing edi
tor?
The Fall River police and mill owners are
now following precisely the advice of the INA
ton" The Fall River police are not too leni-
ent at the beginning of the strike there The
same degree of brutality that began in New
Bedford in the thirteenth week, is beginning in
Fall River in the first week. The Fall River
strike has only just begun and the troops and
police have already drowned the six-year-old
boy of one striker and crushed the body of the
pregnant wife of another; the Nation edi-
tors need not fear any inconsistency here.
Why do the uniformed thugs of the state
and the mill barons act in this ruthless way in
Fall River? Because they see in the Fall River
strike the extension of the struggle that began
and continues in New Bedford. Because they
see that not only is the Fall River strike grow
ing with the coming out of the Algonquin Mill,
but the movement Reorganization is spreading
to Rhode Island and even to North Carolina
There is the genuine movement that can, with
the fearless and intelligent left-wing leadershlp
be brought to its crystalization in great ma
tional textile workers union.
Textile workers, depend on yourselves. Keep
up your mass picket line.
Build your new union

Demands in 1926.

The Shanghai working women in
1926-27 raised the following de-
mands: Higher wages, shorter
working hours, prohibition of night
work, prohibition of child labor,
Sunday rest, pregnancy vacations,
sick benefits, school for children of
working men and women and finally
the freedom of the trade unions.
Women First to Strike.
After the suppression of the
trade unions by Chang Kai-Shek,
when hundreds of revolutionary
working men and women were muir
dered and the work of the revolu-
tionary trade unions was driven I'M
foreground, the first strike which
raised the banner of the struggle
against the Kuomintang traitors
was the strike of 600 women in the
silk industry in South China. They
asked for wage increase of 20 per
cent. They were joined in a soil
darity strike by 5000 in the ma
tional and 5000 women in the for
eign cotton mills.
In June, 1927, a fresh strike broke
out of 5000 women in the national
silk spinning mills in Shanghai.
The strike went on for 16 days. The
cause of the strike was the dis
charge of 300 women in one of the
mills. While protesting against
wholesale discharges the women
asked for 20 per cent increase in
wages, shorter hours and the pay
ment of wages twice month. Va
rious police measures undertaken
by the employers and efforts to get
settlement by arbitration brought
no results. The women strikers
firmly held their ground. The man
ufacturers had to yield and the
workers gained: % slight in
crease in wages, (2) shortening
of the working day by As minutes,
t3) part payment of sick benefits,
20 cents extra for Sunday work and
20 cents a week for the time of the
strike, (4) the right to have rep
resentative organization oil the
union in each factory.
Other Strikes Called.
|. Besides these big strikes, there
was a number of strikes in minor

enterprises which ended either in
compromise or in partial victory for
the working women. In 1927, on
March %, that is before the sup
preston of the revolutionary trade
unions by Chang Kai-Shek, the
Shanghai Trade Union Council in
cluded among the general demands
a special point dealing with women
and child labor: Equal pay for
equal work, the prohibition of night
work for women and children, va
cation of six weeks for prospective
mothers, etc. The struggle for
these demands is still being carried
on by the Shanghai working women,
and their example is followed by
the working women throughout in
dustrial China.
Fight Against Old Prejudices.
Besides striking for economic and
political demands, the Chinese work.
ing women are struggling against
old prejudices. 1t was by their in
sistence that a decree was issued by
The national government prohibiting
the Gripping of women's feet. The
Chinese working women take an ac-
tive part not only in the trade union
movement, but also in the political
struggle against foreign capital and
the indigenous bourgeoisie, as well
as against the brutal and reaction
ary Kuomintang government
Fight With the Men.
In the course of the counter-rev-
dictionary coup d'etat in South
China, when thousands of working
men and working women were slain
in defending the interests of their
class (about 238,000 working men
and working women persisted under
the white terror, the working wo-
men fought shoulder to shoulder
with the men ON the bsrricades.
They handed shells and munitions
to the men, organized their feeding
and shielded the revolutionaries
from the brutal assassins of the
national government, paying for
this with their own lives. Women
were engaged also in laison service
between the different workers
fighting squads. and they agitated
at workers meetings for rebellion
against the national government.
The Chinese, working women are
steadily becoming more militant and
are consolidating their ranks for
the final knockout blow to the Chi
nese bourgeoisie.

Johnny Madeiros Goes Swimming

A Massachusetts ''cossack" is an important
fellow He can prance around the street on
fine horse, paid for by the State, and anyone
who gets in his way does so at his own peril.
It's fun-to a cossack-to see all these
miserable strikers duck and run to keep out
from under the iron hoofs
Big and little. Men, women and children
they all have to run. No chance against
horse. Makes a man feel powerful, to sit up
high on a saddle in fine uniform, gun on
his hip, and make 'em scuttle to cover.
The little ones are funny. Wednesday at
Fall River a strikers kid-six years old-got
in the road An officer had little fun-rode
at the kid Had to laugh the way that
kid took fright and ducked through hole in
the fence! He splashed into the water on the
other side of the fence. Ha, hal Didn't know
the river was right there.
The officer pranced his horse on down the
street
Johnny Madeiros was drowned.
Well, what of it. The Judge is o. X. This
is mill town, this is Fall River. A Bosses
town No Bolshevism here. Law and order.
No strikes here if the troopers can help it.
Johnny Madeiros was not bosss son. Just
mill workers brat. Any story will do.
"Just thought he was swimming" says the
officer.
All O. K.
But the picket line grows stronger, and every
working man and woman from the mills is
more determined to beat the beastly bosses
and their troopers, and their judges. Hold the
picket Incl
