They say, if we demand equal
wages for women, the capitalists
will employ men. Thus they divide
the working class into "men" and
women" competing with each other
on the economic field and maintain
as Theresa Wolfson does in her
book, "The Woman Worker and the
Trade Unions" that "the intensifi-
cation of economic competition be-

In other words they accept the

even those half hearted attempts, in
the so-called backwardness of the
women, the temporary nature of
their participation in industry, lack
of interest in organization and in
many other invented natural" char
acteristics of women workers. The
long and short of it is that the A.
F. of l.. bureaucracy does not want
to organize the over nine million
women workers any more than they
want to organize the rs million I'M
organizable workers, men and wom-

interested in drawing high salaries

for future action. 1t is day when
the proletariat tests its leaders in
the fire of the struggle. 1t is there

on all other economic and political
problems of working class women.
The labor bureaucrats have pushed
the women problem" from pillar
to post for years.
1t evolves therefore upon the left
wing members of the trade unions
and upon all progressive workers
to take an active part in fulfilling
this task under the leadership or in
the spirit of the Communist Party
of America which stands for full
equality Of women. The Communist
Party points to Soviet Russia, the
only country in the world where the
working and peasant women enjoy
every possibility for taking an equal
place with men in society. In Soviet
Russia about three million women
are members Of trade unions at the
present time while there were only
1,449,000 women members of trade
unions at the end of 1923, an in
crease of over 100 per cent. These
figures alone explode the abb of
the A. F. of L. bureaucrats that
women are too difficult to organize
but the figures grow even more sig
nificant when one recalls that Soviet
Russia's population is predominant
ly peasant, and that women's par
ticipation in industry is compare
lively new there.
On May Day this year we must
take cognizance of the period of de-
preston which has set in in the
United States and of the four mil

against Mrs. Helen Tufts Bailie OF

charged with having conducted
herself in way calculated to dis

program and who exposed the

was maintaining against liberals

betrayal of the interests of the
working class, for it's division into
"men" and women" into skilled and
unskilled workers, into Negroes and
whites, into organized and unor-

for collaboration.
May Day on the contrary is the
international holiday of the world
