Under Workers Govt
Dear Sister:

Dear Sister:
The railway workers union and
tn eworking women TO the Piati-
hatka station send you their fervent
greetings.
In our country thee women enjoy
the same rights as the men. The
working woman, no matter where
she works, is she performs the same
work as the man, receives the same
wages as the man. For the con-
finement period, working women re
ceive their full wages through the
insurance organizatinos. When that
period is over they come back to
work, their place is kept open for
them. Every woman, no matter who
she is, receives in time of pregnancy
a supplementary allowance, and also
an allowance for the baby in the
course of 9 months.
Working women with small chill
dren can leave their children in the
public creches if they have no means
Of keeping them at home. When
going to work the mother takes ner
childr to the creche. There the chill
dren are kept clean and given the
best of care. In the clubs there are
also special rooms where mothers
can leave their children after work
ing hours if they want to attend
meetings, lectures and entertain
rlents. In our station we haven't
got these things and many of our
women are very passive as they
have no place wheer to leave their
children.
We have clincis where doctors ad
wise mothers how to take care of
their children, how to bring them up,
how to look after them in case of
illness, how to prevent sickness, etc.
There are also nurses who look after
the conditions under which children
live at home. hese nurses visit the
homes where there are babis, they
teach the mothers how to keep them

position indicates the walk-out is
cutting deeply o the profits OF the
companies, and to take cc-trol Of the

officialdom and conduct it by means
of rank and file strike committees.
The T. U. U. L. demands that rep

who have already in several in
stances refused to handle scab oil,
the garagemen, who have to fill cars
with the scab oil, and the other
truckmen, who are being appealed
to by the bosses to take strike
breaking jobs, shall be drawn into
the conduct of the strike.
Bosses Admit Loss.
The company officials announcing
their plan of attack through the
courts admitted that the strike was
heavy blow to them. One said:
"The surrounding transportation
prob lem oall industries and to
the large proportion of the people
Of this city depends upon an ade-
quate supply of oil and its products.
AS it stands now, the companies
concerned have been put to an enor-
nous loss, causedby the extra ex-
pense of operating and difficulties
overcome in furnishing their pro-
ducts to consumers. The city has
been put to greatly increased ex-
pense to afford protection to its resi-
dents and workers"
This last refers to the use of police
and gunner against the pickets and
the residents and workers" men
toned are the company scabs.
Strik- = Want to Fight.
The strikers, although subjected
to a constant gassing of defeatest
propaganda from their officialdom
were still very mihtantly determined
on carrying through the strike at
the last meetings. Many of them
are beginning to realize that their
chance of victory depends on their
Selling control of the strike and
spreading it through at the industry

official treachery.

Wortis, of the Needle Trade Work
ers' Union, and others.
A flood of expressions Of solidar-
ity with the International Labor De-
tense that defended the strikers and
contended at the utset of the trial
tina fair trial for a worker is i'm
possible in a capitalist court, has
come by mail to the office since the
antics of the prosecution lawyers
and the malice of Judge Barnhill.
Food Workers Solidarity.
Michael Obermaier, of the Anal
gamated Food Workers, stated: "No
worker in America can believe after
the Gsstonia trial at Charlotte that
a worker can receive a fair trial in
capitalist court" He declared the
solidarity of the food workers with
the defendants.
W0rtis Assails Trial.
Rose Wortis, recording secretary
Of the Joint Board of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union,
said, "The trial in Gastonia has DEM
onstrated more clearly than any
thing else that these militant work
ers are being triad not for murder
but because they dared to come into
a reactionary South to organize and
lead the workers against the oppres-
sion Of the ruthless textile barons."
GAS far as the needle trades work
ers are concerned, we stand solidly
with them and regardless of the bit
ter struggle that we have to wage
daily agains the bosses and the com
pany union in our own trade, we
shall encourage every effort not only
to bringabout the release of the Gas
tonia prisoners, but to see to it that
the militant struggle which they
have started in Gastonia may bring
about the organization of thousands
of exploited textile workers into a
powerful National Textile Workers
Union"
Foster Exposes Prosecution.
William 2. Foster, of the Trade
Union Unity eague, which wrote a
great page in the history Of the
working class at the Charlotte con-
ference, declared "The action Of
Judg Barnhill, in permitting the
violently prejudicing speeches and
questions of the boss-owned attor-
neys, merely proves the contention
that the T. U. U. l.. made at the trial
opening, that no worker can get a
fair trial in capitalist court.
"The present period is one in
which the workers are steadily ris
ing against the conditions of speed
up, wage-cut, and unemployment.
There will be more arrests. Even
today hundreds of workers are ar
rested in various cities of the land.
They have now learned that they
cannot receive justice in a capitalist
court. They have learned that only
mass protest will force the bosses to
free them. Tie International Labor
Defense is an organization which
most ecectively rallies the workers
to vast demonstration of protest and
they forced the freedom of Is of

Savage Slash at BomrgeOlsie
Is Channel Road, Plymouth

Even an almost endless profusion
of vaudevillian gems of humor" by
Alexander Woolcott proves unable
to submerge Guy De Maupassant's
savage hatred and irony at the ex-
pense of the bourgeoisie of the Sec
ond French Empire, in his famous
story "Boule De Stuff" freely adapt
ed into the play "Channel Road,
at the Plymouth Theatre.
What De Maupassant made into
swift-moving, sharp thrust at the
rapidly rising merchant class os well
as the already rotten nobility, be-
comes in Doolcott and George S.
Kaufman long stretch Of library
drama enlivened not one bit by col
lege humor and considerably weak
ened by choice bits of Woolcott's old
womanish sentimentality in the
handling of the subjects of patriot
ism and piety.
The time is 1S70-during the
Franco-Prussian war. The Prus-
slams are billetted in an inn near
Rouen. A coach brings to the inn
a party consisting of a flossy Co.
punt, his acidly spinster sister, a
merchant and his wife, and two nuns
who have been Mortified on the way
in finding that their fellow-passen-
ger is a prostitute, Madeleine Rous-
set. They avenge the horrible insult
to their dignity by snubbing Mad
eleine. The party is making for
the coast, bent on fleeing with its
wealth.
The Prussian military officials
abruptly halt the flight of the party
by depriving them of their safe
conducts. When the Prussian lieu
tenant casts amorous eye son Mad
eleiene, the prostitute suddenly be-
comes a figure of considerable i'm
portance to the tradesman and his
party. They see in her the instru-
ment which will permit them to re-
sumo their flight. If she submits
to the lieutenant, they will get away
Maupassant at this point brought
into play the full use of his scathing
and ironic genius, goaded on by that
peasant writer's hatred for the bour-
geoisie. 1t is to the credit of Wool
colt and Kaufman that that irony
and hatred is not lost.
Madeleine's heretofore stiff-neck-
ed coachmates suddenly warm up to
her, cajole her, try to bride her to
submit. The prostitutes National
Loyalty" (Maup, ssant's one weakness
was super patriotism) prevents her.
1t is the two nuns (nurses bound
for the front) who unwittingly be-
come the means of Madeleine finally
going to the Prussian's room, for
she does not want to hold them back.
The next morning finds the trades
mans party oil set to resume their
flight, and their frigidity towards
the prostitute. But the lieutenant
returns the safe conduct of only
the nuns and Madeleine.
Out of the welter of boredom,
cheap sentiment, and college humor
which is Channel Road" the per-
formances of two of the cast stand
out. They are Siegfried Rumann, a
German actor, as the lieutenant, and
Anne Forest, seen before in "Sev-
enth Heaven" as Madeleine. The
caustic irony of the lieutenant, a
thing easy to overdo, is delicately
handled by Rumann. Most of the
rest of the cast is wooden.
