such circumstances the working wo-

the greatest hardships, facing hun

with their humble belongings.
This is the protection that demo

In capitalist America the working

consequence is that when a working

ton. Often the working women give

Il AIDES first" they say in Amer
~ lea.
Let us examine as to where the
working women come first.
She is first 10 work longer hours
for less pay than men get for the
same work. This is not because the
working women want to work longer
hours for little pay. It is because
the bureaucrats in the American
labor movement do not consider that
the working women need to be or
ganized in trade unions is small
compared with the number of wo-
men in the trades. We might as
well say that the working women in
America are not organized at all.
The reactionary labour bureaucrats
turn their attention to the organizing
of working women only when the
women in great numbers invade the
particular trade, and the breakdown
of the union is threatened In most
cf the unions where the working wo-
men are organized, they are not or
ganized on an equal basis with the
men.
This is the way women are treated
in Democratic America.
Let US analyze the way in which
democracy is put into practice for
working women in America. A re-
view by the Secretary of Labour
Davis in Washington and the studies
made by the Women's Bureau of this
denartment on wages, hours and con-
ditions of working women in indus
try in several States Of America
prove that the women work long
hours for little pay.
In Mississippi, only percent of
The working women work s and less
hours per day. In Tennessee only 6
percent and Delaware only Is per
cent have a working day of s tours
or less. For the long hours of toll
IN Mississippi the earnings per week

FREEDOM IN THE SCHOOLS

At school the class was having a
lesson in history about Abraham
Lincoln. The teacher said that he
was a very great man because he
freed the United States from slavery,
and added that he was not as Lenin,
the hypocrite, who wanted to free
Russia in order to become rich and
famous.
My friends boy, 10 year old, stood
UP Immediately and said: "The writer
ef this history is big liar. Lincoln
didn't care So much about the slaves.
He wanted to help the northern CAPT
talists. They couldn't stand compe-
tition with the southern capitalists
On account of the cheap slave labor
there. But Lenin not only wanted to
free Russia, he wanted to free the
whole world from capitalist slavery.

S1075, while the great bulk of Negro
women work in canneries at weekly
expense of $5.25. The Negro woman
is less paid than the white woman
for the same work.
Another important study made by
the Women's Bureau was of 1895
women, who suffered injuries in ac-
cidents during employment in Jersey,
Ohio and Wisconsin States showed
that Is were killed, 536 suffered per-
manent disability. In an interview
with 2S5 of those women to learn
what adjustments they have been
able to make as to indemnities, medi-
cal rehabilitation, few of them have
secured satisfactory indemnities.
The working women are the most
oppressed of all workers and are the
prey of the capitalist greed in the
United States. American capitalism
thrives on exploitation. Who cares
where the profits come, from women,
from children, and who cares if they
are injured or killed on the job
When working woman is injured
on the job in America she must sue
the boss to get indemnity, an expen-
sive process. The low wages re-
ceived by working women in America
make it impossible for them to hire
legal aid, and in America there is no
other way of arguing a case in the
capitalist court. The boss has the
money to hire the best lawyers, to
pay the doctors to testify against the
injured workers. And above all, the
capitalist Judges are at the service
of the boss.
When working women, if they get
sick or injured on the job, they suf-
fer untold misery in America.
How different are the conditions
Of the working women of America
with the working women in Soviet
Russia where the workers are the
rulers of the Government and the
MANAGERS of the factories where they
work! In Soviet Russia the WORKING
women are organized in the trade
unions together with the men on an
equal basis, with equal pay for equal
work. The working women in Soviet
Russia receive all benefits together
with the men workers, full pay dur
ing sickness and injury, free medical
attendance, vacation with full pay
from 2 to A weeks. The special needs
Of the women are taken into con-
sideration. Special provisions are

To The DAILY WORKER:
| want to tell you a little story
about Slocum, as / see you have al
ready printed something about the
rotten conditions here.
1t seems that they are what they
call "just overcrowded" here. There
are about 1400 here now, altho more
are coming every day. So some of
the latest arrivals are being put into
the cellars like sheep, next to the
toilet. You see they don't even have
to worry about any board of health
out here. The truth is they are all
freezing, as there is no steam heat
there, of course. But they will get
lots of heat when they get to the
tropics.

get to our outfits, as l am glad to
see that there is one paper which is
willing to print something besides re-
cruiting bunk about the service. We

MORE ABOUT sLoCUM.
CONTINUED from last Saturday,

Continued from last Saturday.
The casuals time is taken up con-
tinuously from six in the morning
until practically six at night. This
does not include the K.P.s who work
longer. Not only do the men get long
hours of drill, but rather than let
them rest, the officers take up any
spare time during the day by mon
otonous talks.
Old Barracks.
The barracks here are so bad that
even some Of the officers are COM
planning, altho there is no rush to inn
prove things. There are about 40 to
80 men in each barrack, and about 80
per cent of the men have colds be-
cause the building is so old that it can
never be properly heated. The bar
racks were erected in 1888, and Of
cheap material ct that.
This explains why the "two blan-
kets" mentioned are not enough for
the men, as hey might be in we'll
built, we'll heated buildings.
Fear of Officers.
The casuals are always in fear of
the non-commissioned officers as well
as the commissioned officers. This is
because the recruits are never told Of
their rights, even tho some of the
regulations are supposed give them
certain rights, at least to mako COM
plants. He is always threatened by
the officers, and they hammer away
at him until he becomes like puppet
and afraid to look an officer in the
eye. This is his first lesson in be-
coming "a good soldier"
Passes are very limited, especially
at Slocum. Out of about 100 men
only four or five are allowed to go
to town, and these only if they pass
inspection, know their general orders,
special orders and all the orders Of
the post.
Afraid of Desertions.
The reason they are especially strict
in giving the casuals passes is be-
cause they know that a large num-
Der of these men would desert if they
go to town. First, they are all new
recruits, and the conditions at Slocum
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-03-05

are SO bad that many would give a
lot for chance to get out. Second,
they are all waiting for shipment for
their "three years" in the tropics, and
the army doesn't want to give them
any chance to make getaway before
they get them to their outfits. The
biggest proportion of the men receive
no passes from the time they come
mere until their transport leaves,
whether it be week, a month, or
longer.
More later. The worst is yet to
come, the trip down. According to
a previous serviceman here it is trip
worth describing.

Is he in a maze. a blind alley,

What is freedom? No two die

generation agrees as to who shall

on killing Indians and breeding
slaves. We shall get little insight
into freedom from the law courts;
we must look deeper. Can We find
a biologic concept for freedom? Is
there a goal, as it were, to creative
evolution?
Our vision is so limited! We
know so little Of life. Who shall
