TWO OLD LADIES.

Two old ladies, one, Mrs. Harriet
Taylor, 100, and one, Mrs. Rebecca
Croft, 90, both Americans and color
ed, died in Chicago. They,.will have
much to report on arrival in the
upper bright world. a. ... 3D.
When Mrs. TAYLOR was born, in
1928, Andrew Jackson had just been
elected President. In 1888, the year
of Mrs. Croft's birth, Martin Van
Buren. pet of Jackson, occupied the
White House. The debate on Slavery
VS.. Freedom had just opened up.
Colored Americans at that time had
not come to the title of Americans
but were slaves.
Get down your books and read
about that period. Have a family
discussion on the events between the
day of the birth of these ladies and
the day of their death. Discussion
is the bucket that brings up water
from the well of thought. Know
ledge is the rope.
These old ladies saw their race in
servitude; likewise in freedom. They
saw giants of their race emerge from
slavery and saw, also, the day of
little men. They saw Lee and Grant
contend and lived when Lincoln was
murdered for bringing them into the
circle of humans.
Imagine them answering questions
when they got easy in heaven. "What
is the latest news?" they were asked.
mot much" they must have an

Democrats were still scrapping over
whiskey and agreeing on slavery" ;

PULLMAN PoRTERs.

Two items touching Pullman por-
ters win interest you. One is about
a porter on far western train ar
rested for attempting an assault on
a woman passenger. The Associated
Press, or counsel for your prosecu-
tion, reported that a mob wanted to
lynch the porter. Promptly officials
of the city and county in which the
accused man was caught said no, and
nothing of the kind happened.
You knew that to begin with, that
is, you knew the A. p, entirely ig-
norant of 10000, 900 Americans. and
compelled to cater to newspapers
that own it, didn't tell exactly what
took place.
Keep in mind that everybody con-
cerned in this case except the poor,
unfortunate porter, belongs on the
side opposed to the porter's side. A
man not permitted to take a hand
in dispensing justice cannot get JUS
tice as dispensed by others. Think
then talk. w ls

of the working class are beginning
to understand that the struggle of
the men workers is their struggle as
we'll. There has hardly been single
workers struggle in which the
W omen have not taken part.
The class-conscious working wo-
men, together with the most advanced
section of the working men, under
great difficulties, have organized
working women into labor unions
These militant working women have
proven that the working woman can
be organized into labor unions.
The capitalists, in their renewed at
tack upon organized labor, look to-
ward the women workers as great
help in their campaign of smashing
the labor unions. The officials of the
American Federation of Labor do not
care to organize the working women
If this Indifference will continue,
then, of course, the tremendous sup
ply of women's cheap labor will break
the labor unions.
The Communists the world over are
helping the working class and peas
ant women to lift themselves out of
the morass of ignorance, persecution
and prejudices in which they have
been sunk for centuries.
The greatest accomplishment of the
Communist work can be seen in Soviet
Russia where the workers have over
thrown the cars government and
their own capitalists and established
the workers dictatorship. The Com
munists in Soviet Russia have proven,
by their living example, that the
working and peasant women can be
made to understand and to take re-
sponsibility as class-conscious work
ers.

of America stands ready to assist the
working class women in their en-
deavor to carry through the task of

We are fifteen girls employed in
the shop. We have to dress and un-
dress ourselves in that little room
the so-called dressing room. 1t is so
small that when two girls are in it,
the third has to stay out.
There is a small bed supposed to
serve emergency cases. But it is so
old that by the first effort you make
to sit down, it Immediately falls
apart.
Ever since I have been working
there, our dressing room has never
been swept. The sink, where you have
to wash your hands and have drink
sometimes, is so black that you can't
tell whether it was ever white or not.
AS to our coats, they also have
their place in the dressing roor..
Whenever you come in, you always
find coat or two on the floor. Two
or three coats are supposed to hang
on one hook because of lack Of space.
However the problem of dressing
ourselves in the morning is solved
quite easily because we do not all
come into the shop at the same time.
But what is taking place at noon,
when we all stop from work at once,
is indescribable. Every one of us has
to fight till we get our coats out.
Discontentment is seen on every face
as we go out for our lunch.
It is about time that we come out
openly and demand sanitary condi-
tons, just the same as we demand
higher wages.

proletarian and petty bourgeois
housewives organizations for sex
equality.
Of course, all this is only the begin
ming of working women's defensive
against the unbearable misery result
ing from capitalist exploitation and
oppression. On the International
Communist Women's Day, the big
reckoning with the social world and
with women's own actions in the
struggle against the present misery
and restitution must take the form
of more energetic struggle in this
direction. More must be done: On
this day women's will to defend them
selves must be transformed into wom-
ems will to take up the offensive
against bourgeois profiteering and
class domination.
On March 9Th, working women's
will to defend themselves must be
linked up with their will to take up
the offensive, and this must find ex-
preston in mighty demonstrations.
At the present juncture it is the fore
most duty of proletarian women, of
all women crushed and exploited by
capitalism, to establish a Red united
front against the imperialist war.
mongers. Hands Off the Revolu-
tionary Workers and Peasants OF
China!" must be the slogan thrown
into the face of the imperialists by
working women's united forces thru
out the world. No political and econ
omic encirclement, no blockade of the
Soviet Union, no armed attack on it!
The words of protest must be backed
by will to act, by preparation of deeds
capable of securing peace. Working
women must help the present mass
movements and mass rebellions tt
tear power out of the hands of the
imperialists. The imperialists and
their satellites have issued the libel,
Gus and threatening slogan: Against
Bolshevik barbarism." This slogan
must be eclipsed by the fighting slo-
gan of the workers: Overthrow OF
bourgeois class domination, seizure Of
power by the proletariat for the es-
Establishment of it's own dictatorship.
This fighting slogan must be on the
lips of millions of women.
Must Find Way Out.
| Proletarian women! When will yor
: find your way out of the blind alley
of democracy and reformism, wher
will you enter upon the rough anc
stony path of the proletarian class
struggle? Working women of al
capitalist countries, come out in ser
ried ranks onto this path! March 8tf
reminds you of your duty to bethinl
yourselves as class conscious human
beings. Join your revolutionary class

and oppression of man by man

member when the first Calk of form
ing a union came.
At that time, Decoration Day came
on Tuesday. The boss gave US half
a day off. When Saturday came, and
we were supposed to work until one
o'clock, the boss insisted that we work
all day, since we had half day off
earlier in the week. Some of the
workers objected. Others asked,
"What can we do? We are not or
ganized." That day we worked.
About year later, the press called
all the workers to attend the funeral
Of the victims Of the Triangle" fire.
The boss said it was too busy to let
as take the afternoon off. We all
went out for lunch and decided not
to return to the shop but to go to
the funeral.
The next morning When we came
to work, the boss told US that he did
not like the idea of our staying out
the day before. Our answer was;
'3The only thing you can do is either
take off the half days pay or dis
charge u.s."
Because of the fact that he saw
we were united, he did not dare to
discharge us.

Workers Int'l Relief
Aids in Class Fight

Women and children are the ones
who suffer most when natural catas-
trophe, strike, lockout or other econ
omic condition affects their lives.
At such time the first thought
is "bread" and the Workers Interna-
tional Relief answers that thought.
This organization gives relief in the
spirit of working class solidarity to
workers engaged in the struggle with
the bosses in strike or lockout or
other labor conflict.
Every working woman should be-
come member of the Workers In
ternational Relief, thereby helping to
build a powerful organization ready
at all times to function in the inter
ests of the workers.
