MUTINOUS OIL
BARON OUSTED
BY TWO TO ONE
Powder Maker Agents
Crush Chain Builder

WHITING, Indiana, March T.
Rockefeller has won back the Stan,
dard Oil of Indiana. Tho the votes
will not be officially tahulated fol-
some time, Col. Stewart, Reckefel-
ler's rebellious vassal. manager OF
the Indiana company, comedies the
victory to the Rockefeller dynasty.
In a meeting surcharged with per
sonal determinations between the
two oil giants the shareholders voted
to elect in his place VIM. Merriam
Burton, former president of the
company and inventor of the patent
ed process for cracking" crude oil
The general atmosphere was that
of a Rotary Club. Stewart called
the speakers and officers by their
nicknames as he introduced them,
But then the fight began.
The Memorial Building which
IVES built with 100000 of Rockefel-
Ter funds was closely guarded
against anyone entering who did
not own stock OF carry a proxy of
a stakeholder.
The stage in the auditorium was
fl ed with leather chairs and a
microphone to carry the voices of
the wrangling financiers to all
parts of the building, to the lounge
rooms and gymnasiums where the
overflow crowd was to be seated.
The trouble between Rockefeller
and Stewart, which Rockefeller
eamouflaged as "purity campaign
because of Stewards connection with
Teapot Dome, was really over the
Indiana company's insistence on
competing with Rockefeller owned
OF. companies in Kentucky, Spain,
and the Near East.
Rockefeller, as a stakeholder in
Standard Oil of Indiana, was also
disgruntled over Stewards allan :
with Sinclair in the Teapot Dome
business.
History OF Crime.
In November, 1921, Stewart aided
Sinclair to form the Continental
Trading and Oil Co., which bought
oil from A. E. Humphreys of Tex.
as at $3.50 barrel and sold it to
Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Co.
and Prairies Oil and Gas Co., imme-
diately for S1.75. A profit of 49,
100000 was created, of which Stew
art is said to have got S700, 900.
Some of the rest was used to bride
cabinet officers and other officials
and the rest just disappeared. Stew
art was tried for perjury and con-
tempt of the Senate during the in
vestigatlen but could not be con-
victed.
Barber Votes Childs Out.
William Childs, founder and owner
of the s37,000,O00 string of Childs'
Restaurants, was thrown out OF con
troll by heavier money bags yester-
DAY. in the annual stockholders
meeting in New York. 1t is known
that DUPONT capital, entrusted for
action to a stakeholder named Will
lam 7. Barber, held proxies and
owned stock outright to the amount
cr 90 per cent of the total. and
voted III its own board of directors
and the officials that ehiIds dis
charged a few iaonths ago.

Meeting in Newark at
8 o'clock Tonight

Workers of Newark are called
upon to attend a mass meeting
where plans for aiding the silk strik-
ers of Summit, N, j., will be worked
out. The meeting, to be held under
the joint auspices of the National
Textile Workers Union and the In

The silk strikers in Summit have
been wagiDg q heroic battle for
many months against the silk bosses
of that city. The small town au-
thorities. anxious to protect their
open-shep "benefactors" and very
agile in offering the local police and
courts for the use of the bosses,
have been conducting a vicious ter
ror of arrests and jailings.
Recently. the National Textile
Workers Union took over leadership
Of the strike. The unions leadership
was ought by the workers, who had
ordered the traitorous officials of
the Associated Silk Workers Union

Sharing the common fate with
their sisters in other countries, the
Chinese women have since time i'm
memorial been ruthlessly oppressed
economically, politically, socially
intellectually, and otherwise, They
We're bound from cradle to grave by
cruel customs and absurd conven,
tions which, for instance, demand
that girl when young must obey
her parents, when married must
obey her husband, and in case hel
husband died, must obey her SON
Again, as a wife, the Chinese woman
was liable to be divorced by her
husband on any of the following
grounds: disobedience to husbands,
parents, baroness, adultery, envy, in
durable disease, talkativeness, and
theft. And divorce of course was
absolutely a one-sided affair. A
myriad, such instances may be
enumerated. In short, the Chinese
women have been an oppressed and
exploited class.
The causes for this are not far
to seek. Old conservative philoso-
ply, superstitious religion, blind
public opinion, all have been respon-
sible for the dirty deal given to the
Chinese women. But fundamentally
the reason has been economic. 1t
was the economic dependence of the
Chinese women on their husbands
that kept them in feudal subsection
and exploitation.
New Era.
But a new era has been opened up
in the life of women in China. After
the war, industrialism has had 9
steady growth in the Middle King
dom. New theology, radical thoughts
have penetrated the wall of deae
tradition, and there has awakened
new generation of womanhood
Nowadays thousands of girls have
left their kitchens and harems ane
work in factories or study in schools
This is not all, this younger set oil
the Chinese women has become part
of the driving force of the revolu-
tionary movement in China. Right
after the World War, in 1919, CIR

employers, many signing up in the
first two weeks. The employers
press was very soon compelled to
print the truth of the victorious set
Elements made.
Speaking for the General Strike
Committee, Rose Wortis, it's secre-
airy said:
"The victories won by the dress
lakers in this strike by which union
onditions have been established in
early four hundred shops marks
turning point in the long struggle
the left wing needle trades work
rs. This is the first of a series
strikes to be waged by the new
Industrial union against the sweat
hop in the various branches of the
'arment industry. The Furriers De-
artment will be the next to call
trike at the beginning of the new
eason, this summer. Our victory
has given encouragement to all nee-
die trades workers, and has resulted
in a tremendous increase in the
membership of the new union. It
is defeat not only for the employ
efs but for the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union, which
stands exposed as a company union,
reduced to impotence and bankrupt
morally and financially"
In commenting on the strike,
Charles S. Zimmerman, vice presi-
dent of the union, denounced the
I. L. G. w. U. for cooperating with
the employers and the police in try
ing to break the strike. "There
have been number of clear cases
in which it was evident that the |.
L. G. w. U. had framed up our
strikers" said Zimmerman. "Ben-
jamin Schlesinger has accused our
strikers time and again of being
gangsters in the effort to secure a
severe Jail sentence and heavy fines
for them, These charges have in
variably been proven groundless,"
Zimmerman declared that in ter
minating this strike the first phase
of the struggle has come to an end
but that the second phase will begin
Immediately. The gains made in
the strike will be backed up by
campaign to organize those shops
which have not signed agreements
with the union. This campaign will
continue thru the present season
and will be intensified at the be-
ginning of the next season in the
summer.
The gains made by the union in
clude the 40-hour 5-day week, the
minimum wage scale, recognition of
the union, the right to the job after
trial period of one week, no dis
charge except for misbehayior.

ana find it's base in the factories,
instead of among the housewives.
The social composition of the wo-
men in the Party membership must
become predominantly industrial.
Such changes will be an important
factor in the struggle against the
Right danger as it manifests Itself
in women's work, where it arises
largely from the backwardness OF
the women masses, the petty-bour-
geois elements in the Party, and the
mass organizations. Here is found
the sentimental, reformist, pacifist
theology which is dangerous OBJ
stacle in mobilizing the women
workers for real revolutionary
struggle.
Communists Will Lead.
The Party must be the leader in
the struggle of working women
against the war danger and for the
defense of the Soviet Union. The
growing antagonism between the
capitalist world and the Soviet
Union, the open conspiracy of the
British Empire against Soviet Rus
STA place a vital responsibility upon
the workers of all countries and
especially upon the working women
to organize for the defense of the
Soviet Union.
All these struggles of working
women against Imperialism, against
naturalization, for organization and
resistance to the bosses offensive
are part Of the class struggle as q
whole, the struggle of the working
class against the capitalist class
which is being waged by united
international proletarian front un-
der the leadership of the Commu-
mist International. Working women
must rally to the banner Of the rev
dictionary international Of thu
workers Of all countries on Inter.
national Women's Day, must joir
the ranks of it's American section
of the Workers (Communist) Party

American working class.

the great masses of working wom-
en-"
The bourgeoisie realizes the i'm
portanee of working women as a
revolutionary factor and is using
every possible method to delude
them and turn them aside from the
revolutionary path. The church is
one of the chief instruments of be-
fuddlement, and it's influence over
great masses of the most backward
working women, particularly in
America, is dangerous reactionary
force.
The schools and the strong influ-
ence exerted by them on the family
through the children, the bourgeois
press, the "moyies" and the radio,
the women's organizations, pacifist
and patriotic, all these influences
are being used to keep back the
working women from the revolution
airy struggle.
Socialists Try to Betray.
The socialist party, which long
since abandoned all pretense at lead
ing the working women in the class
struggle, is now seeking to revive
| its influence over them. The Brus-
sells international socialist confer
ence this year, as well as the Amer
lean socialist party convention, have
taken steps to win over the working
women to their false slogans of re-
formism and pacifism.
The Workers (Communist) Party
of America has a great task under
these conditions to win the masses
of the working women for the rev.
dictionary class struggle and for
the Party. The leading task of the
Party in the work among women,
is to organize them for the struggle
against the war danger and imperi-
alism and against pacifist illusions.
The working women must recognize
the necessity of revolutionary
struggle against the war danger
and the transformation of capitalist
war into civil war, for the establish
ment of the proletarian dictatorship.
| The Workers lCommunist) Party
must devote all efforts, during the
International Women's Day Cam
paign in the month of March, to
laying the foundation for work
among the broad masses Of working
women, to building up an effective
Party apparatus for this purpose
in all districts, to conducting an
theological campaign, to convince all
Party members of the Importance
of this work. All remnants of pre-
JUDGE against work among women
must be done away with in the
Party, all remains of social dem
ocratic views in Understanding the
Importance Of women's work. Ener.
getic efforts must be made to reach
women in industry particularly, tt
penetrate large factories in which
women are employed, to draw then
into shop nuclei, to organize factor,
circles and working womep's dele
gate conferences, to build new fight
ing unions including women workers

yociferously when he urged the dele
gates to stand solidly behind the
present Central Executive Commit

that although he was unable to ex-
press himself in the best English,
he knew how to fight in the class
struggle and how to express his
support of leadership deserving
the unfailing loyalty of every Party
member because of its correct poll
teal line.
Andanov, worker from District

on the role of the South in the econ

coming imperialist war. His speech
ended with the same sentiment re-
garding the Gee as was expressed
by the other speakers.
When Lovestone entered he was
greeted by prolonged cheering,
elapping, waving of banners and the
singing of the International. His
report, which combined two points
on the agenda-1) the report of the
Gee on the political and economic
situation, the activities of the Party
and the tasks facing it; and p the
report on the Right danger and
Trotskyism-lasted three hours and

THE CHINESE WOMEN
AND THE REVOLUTION

first signal of revolt Of the younger
generation against the old.
At the same time, thousands of
women began to pour into factories
and work side by side with men. In
1922, during the Hongkong sea
mems strike, which was the first
successful proletarian revolt against
capitalists and imperialists in China
the Chinese women gave moral and
material support to the strikers
The Chinese women, both workers
and students, played very impor-
tant role in the textile workers
strike in 1925, a strike that was fol-
lowed by the notorious massacre OF
May Both in Shanghai, and the Sha
Men massacre near Canton. These
massacres were conducted by the
British imperialists, in which hum
dreds of Chinese workers were MUIR
dered in cold blood. Many Of the
strikers were women. In the same
eventful year, the famous Hong
kong strike took place. In this
strike, the Chinese women helped
not only with propaganda but with
financial and material contributions
When the Kuomintang began its
campaign against the Peking gov
eminent in 1926, the Chinese wom-
en-, thinking that the Kuomintane
would fight against Imperialism and
capitalism, joined in the campaign
with cheer and hope. They served
not only as nurses, clerks and secre-
tafies, but acted also as propagan-
dists, orga lizers, and even in the
actual fighting.
Betrayed By Kuomintang.
But their hope was not realized
After the Nationalist turned thei,
back definitely on the revelutionar,
movement, and began to conciliate
with capitalists and imperialists, the
Chinese realized that in order te
fight against oppression and ex'
ploitation, they must fight with the
workers and peasants. Many young
Chinese women are now loyal anc
daring comrades. During the Can
ton uprising many women workers
were arrested and killed by the re-
dictionary militarists who treated
women Communists in the mos
barharous manner. 1t was reported
that more than five hundred womer
workers fell in the uprising. Bu1
the white terror still failed to stol
the revolutionary movement of the
young Chinese women. They keel
on working for the revolution.

As his car raced up a steep grade, Obadiah gained a glimpse of the fine structure that housed the Tor rfngton hospital He pulled up at the curb and went inside.
 The superintendent, in her in- maculate white uniform and cap, greeted Obadiah courteously, but with unmistakable surprise.
 "Dr. Wells, whose summer home is near here holds eye clinics on Tuesdays and Thursdays for pa .tients who cannot afford to pay, she said in response to his inquiry However, the records are kept temporarily in my office. Whom did you come to inquire about?'
 "Sundown, a half-breed Indian, from over Mohawk Mountain way. He's been over here during the past month. Sundown's failing is night blindness"
 The superintendent looked up.
 "Oh, now I know" she exclaimed, annoyed at her failure to recall the half breed. But he isn't a charity patient
