working women are gathering at
conferences for the purpose of dis
cussing the problem of organizing
the unorganized working women
into trade unions and of building
shop delegate conferences. This is
an indication of progress amongst
proletarian women in the class
struggle.
The Communist International
plays a leading role in the activi-
ties of proletarian women in the
class struggle. The Russian Rev
olution and the establishment of the
Workers Dictatorship in the U. S.
S. r. is the only example of real
emancipation and equality for work
ing women.

LONG HOURS, LOW

Girls, Women Driven
Mercilessly
By MARY ADAMS.

To my question, "How are the
conditions in your laundry?" I re-
ceived a flood of protests and COM
plants from the Negro girls and
women working in this particular
laundry.
Conditions are terrible and we'll
nigh intolerable, they all agreed. The
pay is miserable. They get on an
average about $12 a week. In .addi-
ton, they are never sure of what's
in their pay envelopes. They are
constantly locked and never told for
what reason. In fact, they simply
get what the boss feels. like handing
out each particular pay day.
Slave 12-Hour Day.
"Our hours are not fixed. We
understand we should go home at
six. We start work at seven in the
morning, but often have to stay I'M
til seven at night, and several times
we were worked until eleven. We
had no extra pay for this overtime.
81 have never been able to get
definite agreement about wages"
added dignified woman, the best
worker in the place, 1 was told.
when l came told the boss l had
been getting $18 week. He said,
All right, come on. / will DO the
right thing by you" But at no time
have I received more than So. He
always puts me off with promises
when 1 approach him on the sub
ject."
Miserable wages, long hours, over
time without pay, uncertainty of pay
and many other evils are the rule in
the laundries.
Need leadership.
These conditions must be changed.
These girls and women show de-
sire to do something definite. They
lack leadership. The Workers Com
munist) Party and the American
Negro Labor Congress must supply
this leadership. The Congress has
helped to organize and give leader
ship to Negro workers in other in
dustries. We must supply leader
ship and inspiration to the thous-
ands of Negro workers who are be-
ing exploited under the most damn
able and inhuman conditions in the
laundries of this city.

Former President Glad to Be Rid

Northampton. Mass, March up,
Calvin Coolidge settled down con-
tentedly today to the quiet ways of
his New England neighbors.
Yesterday had been a day of
Homecoming. of an enthusiastic re-
ception from his fellow toWnsmen
and of poking about his half of the
frame double house on Massasoit

it should be. But today there was
time for throwing himself thorough

sitting in the highest office the ma
ton could offer. he frequently look
ed forWard-that of a plain, private
citizen.
For Mrs. Coolidge there were
housewifely duties which required
attention. When home has not
been lived in for eight years things
are bound to go awry-little things
which others may overlook but
which the mistress of the house no
tees at once and proceeds as quick
ly as possible to set straight.

lie able to indulge in her favorite
recreation of walking.
No Servants Under Foot
Odd jobs to be done about the

Getting out a few tools and attend

stantly are necessary in ones own

of pleasure to the former president
Only at infrequent intervals was he
able, as chief executive, to indulge
in this sort of thing. In an eXccu-
