SOCIALIST" PARTY THROT-

DEMANDS

they are unskilled and semi-skilled workers.
The attitude of the A. F. of L. is that women
belong in the home-but capitalism has driven
them into the shop, thus destroying the much
boosted of American home" The women and
young workers who have been organized into
the old unions have demonstrated that they
are among the best, most militant fighters.
AS the backbone of the new revolutionary
unions of the Trade Union Unity League, the
young workers and women workers are prov
ing to be the best troops of the working class.
In all the strikes of the past two years, the
women workers and young militants have been
to the 'front.' as in the strikes of the miners,
auto workers, textile, shoe, food, garment and
agricultural workers. The working class house
wives have not been less militant, assisting
their husbands and sons on the picket-lines,
fighting the scabs, police, etc.
Socialists" Afraid of Militant Young Workers.
The fascist A. F. of L. and social-fascist
socialist" party union leaders are afraid of
these militants They know that they will not
tolerate the betrayal policies of these treach-
erous leaders. All over the world, in the
strike struggles in the capitalist countries and
in the revolts and revolutions in the colonies,
China, India, Indo-C China, youth and women
are shock troops, fighting against the fascists
and social-fascsts.
Then the 100000 working class house
wives who with their children suffer hunger
and misery when wages are cut, or when the
breadwinner is thrown out of his job. What
about these women?
These tens of millions of young and women
workers are being brought into the working
class struggle, shameful exploitation, unem-
ployment and the danger of war are opening
their eyes. These two sections of the work
must be protected and only the Commu-
mist program of struggle ensures adequate
protection.
Women Workers and Young Workers in the
Soviet Union.
Compare the position and safeguards for
young workers and women workers in the So
Wet Union, with their condition in the United
States and other capitalist countries.
Equal pay for equal work and no night
work for women and young workers, six hours
a day for young workers, two months leave
of absence before and the same time after
childbirth for women-this shows how work
ing class government protects youth and
women.
Young workers, women workers-white and
coored 1t is not astonishing that the social
fascists say nothing about you in their plat
form. The social-fascists stand for the capt.
talst class, as the third party of capitalism.
They fear the rising militancy of the workers,
especially of the young and women workers,
white and colored, those who are in the front
ranks on the picket lines, in demonstrations, in
strikes against wage-cuts, in the fight for the
Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill of the
Communist Party. They fear you because
you are learning the meaning of imperialst
war and the truth about the Soviet Union
Repudiate these social-fascist traitors!
Join the revolutionary unions of the Trade
Union Unity League! Join the Communist
Party and Young Communist League! Sup
port the Communist program of class against
class! Vote Communist!
