The great majority of the working

natural development of capitalist So

With the evolution of machinery
and the simplification of the technique
of production a new era was born. The
value of the skilled worker (the hand
tool worker) decreased to a very low
degree. Squadrons of men are dis
charged daily, and replaced by women
and children. The low wages of the
men forces the women into industry.
The exploiter delights in exploiting
the weakness of women; not only her
wages are less, but she does not be-

conditions prevailing, which fact may

their position. Social legislation is a
matter that ought to attract the at
tention of all revolutionary workers
and all adherents of the Red Inter

put up fight for the daily interests
of the working class, fight for par
tial demands, without of course for
a moment forgetting our final aim.
The Congress will open in March
1878. So that this Congress may
treat all questions exhaustively and
so that all organizations affiliated to
the Red International of Labor
Unions may benefit by the approach
ing Congress, it is requisite that all
organizations should discuss the
agenda in detail at their district and
provincial sessions and submit their
suggestions to the Congress. We
must not come to the Congress
empty-handed, nor improvise our
suggestions on the spot. We must
approach the Congress with a collec-
tive expression of opinion; we must
collect and study the experiences of
the last few years and inform the
others both of the good and of the
bad side of our activity, Of our sue

giles, women have written glorious
pages of heroism. Splendid figures are
those of Vera Zasulich, Vera Figner
and Rosa Luxembourg, who was muir

ialism while raising her voice of pro-
test and challenging the working
class to unite their forces against i'm
perialist war. Clara Zetkin too,
whose name is dear and beloved to the
class conscious proletariat the world
over, is a grand old daughter of revo-
luton, and an internationally known
leader of the working class. AS far
back as 1910, convinced of the vital
necessity for the organization of
women, she directed the formation Of
the Socialist Women's Conference
which was held in March of that year.
The main slogans of this conference
were: Organization of the working
class as a WHOLE" Eight against pre-
paration for capitalist war;" Equal
pay for equal work." "No sex discrim-

Participate in Struggle.
In the 18th century, a working
women's movement arose during the
period of the French Revolution.
Women played an outstanding role,
fought on the barricades under the
leadership of Rose Lakomb, Endien,
Chabrie, REM, Odei. A march on YER
sailles was made. Several important
organizations of women were created,
as the Club of Women Revolutionists.
During the American Revolution,
when America fought for independ-
ence from British oppression, women
were active participants. Mercy WEEP
per symbolized the spirit of these
women who made striking liberal de-
mands, demands more radical than
those of George Washington.

Continued from Last Issue.)

Among the numerous items on the
agenda, there is also one which re-
fers to the fight against Fascism and
the Fascist trade unions. This ques-
ton is of all the more Importance,
seeing that under our very eyes there
is in some countries a political and
in other countries an organizatory
fusion of Fascism and Reformism
The Reformists are very fond of put
ting Bolshevism on the same level as
Fascism, ON the grounds that both
of them are inclined to resort to force
in fighting their opponents. This
demagogic comparison must not dis
courage us. For US the main question
is against whom this force is en-
ployed. Fascism employs force against
he workers. Bolshevism against the
bourgeoisie. Meanwhile the CO.
operation between the Refornists
and the Fascists become daily more
apparent apart from the fact that
the American trade unions are in no
way to be distinguished from the
Fascist ones, we see this cooperation
in Italy, where some of The most
prominent Reformists simply placed
themselves at the service of the
Fascists. In quite number of other
coun. ries we see the reactionary
Fascist Governments making use OF
! the Social Democrats and Reformists

munists and the revolutionary trade

fight, it is a serious, organizatory
and daily struggle. In those coun-
tries in which the Fascists have sue
lceeded by force in embodying 8

workers in their organizations, oul
organizatory work must be in
creased, special attention being paiG
to the object of saving these workers
from the demoralizing influence Of
the Fascist trade unions. Very fire.
quently backward workers who arc
disappointed in the Reformist and
Social Democratic leaders, go over to
the Fascist trade unions. Such de-
velopments are to be observed in
Germany, and it is therefore our duty
to pay serious attention to this point

and to set up a practical programme
moralization.
This Congress will also have to
work out a serious programme in
regard to the fight for social legis-
lation. None of the promises were
kept, which had been given i'm
mediately after the war by the Re-
formists and the intimidated bour-
geois governments. There is hardly
trace of all the achievements of
the reformist- bourgeois bloc in re-
gard to social legislation. The last
few years have been characterize
by the robbery of a series of elemen-
tary achievements CT the working
class. In many countries the eight
hour day has become little more than
a matter Of fiction. 1t will be neces-
sary, moreover, to work out a de-
tailed programme in regard to the
protection of women, the protection
of the youth, night labor, unemploy-
ment, relief in the case of invalidity,
sickness, old age, etc.
All these questions appear to be
perfectly lucid. But the actual task
before us does not consist in the
recognition by the leaders of the
trade union movement of the useful
ness of social legislation, but
rather in the fact that a sys-

numerous photographs, excellently

Short pithy articles and action

class war in terms which should be
