Your Interest in Latin America

fight ended, with demands partly won and an
organization established where there never be-
fore was one.
In the threat of war which hangs over b.
livia and Paraguay, the working class women
have stood with their men comrades in the
revolutionary labor unions and the Communist
Parties, vowing to paralyze both nations with
a general strike and armed revolt if the CAPT.
talist politicians, who represent u S. imper
ialism in Bolivia and British imperialism in
Paraguay dare to declare war.
In country near in Panama, the tradition
of the Renters Strike and revolt of October
10, 1926 is red letter day for the working
women who battled the Yankee troops armed
with bayonets that were called in by the lackey
government of Panama. And only recently
in Panama City, the working girls have formed
a union affiliated with the revolutionary union
center.
Working women of the United States, you
will not be doing your first simple task if you
do not, right away, establish correspondence
with the revolutionary working women of Latin
Amrica Individual workers, and working
women's organizations, write to the striking
women workers of Rosario, of Montevideo, to
the revolutionary women of Panama
Letters to any and all groups may be sent
through the Confederation Sindical Latino
Americana, Gale Olimar 1914, Montevideo,
Uruguay. Or through the following papers:
"La International, Independence 1854, Buenos
Aires, Argentina; or to LA Justicia, Gale
vi 1929, Montevideo Uruguay" or to the Pan
ANA women workers union as follows: "Sin-
dicato Femenino, Catalina G. Palacios, Apar-
tado 1893, Panama City, Panama"

NEGRO WOMEN WORKERS
AND INTERNATIONAL
WOMENS DAY

en- must work are oppressive to the last degree.
They are forced to perform the most mental
tasks for unbelievably low wages, even less
than the white women workers. They are sub
jected to humiliation, insult and outrage. They
toll long hours in vile sweatshops, in the needle
trades and similar industries for the paltry
wage of $1S and S12 a week As domestic
workers, they must slave II and Is hours
day. Many of them are forced to leave their
own children to roam the streets daily at the
risk of their lives, while they are out under
the pressure of this capitalist system forced
to care and clean for the children and the
families of the rich. The terribly exploited
Negro women must be organized in the revou-
tionary unions of the Trade Union Unity
League and united with all the class conscious
workers to fight against the evils of society
unemployment, low wages, grinding toll.
Against povery high rents, segregation, racial
persecution, imperialist slavery and war, the
trebly oppressed Negro women workers must
be modified shoulder to shoulder with the
white, brown yellow workers of the world.
The freeing of Negro women as well as white
will only be accomplished when we do away
with the present capitalist system of oppres-
sion and explotation-and establish a workers
and farmers government like the Soviet Union.
International Womens Day should be utilized
to the full to accomplish this and thus to
hasten the solidarity and emancipation of all
the toling masses of the U. S. and the whole
world under the leadership of the Communist
Parties.

By HARRISON GEORGE.

NEVER must the working women of the
" United States forget the duty, as workers
of an imperialist country, of every fraternal
aid to their toiling sisters of Latin America,
oppressed and exploited by the same capitalists.
Not merely because of abstract duty, but of
genuine class solidarity based on the material
foundation of common class interests. For the
workers of the United States cannot be free so
long as the workers and peasants OF Latin
America are subjected to the imperialist yoke
of Wall Street.
For example, do the working women who toll
by thousands in the packing houses of Chicago,
know that their class sisters in the great meat
freezing plants of Swift and Company at Ro-
sario, argentina are now on strike against
wage cuts, speedup and long hours? Do they
know that the Argentine mounted police, pro-
tecting the interests of Swift and Co., have
Brutality beaten the women strikers who have
been the first and bravest on the picket line,
while the strike committee has several women
workers actively directing the strike
These are facts-proving that the Latin
American working women are IN the battle
'front.' and against the same bosses as exploit
us here in Chicago Remember, too, the brave
women of Colombia who led the strike of the
banana plantation workers and who now lie in
prison for fighting the United States Fruit Co.
In Uruguay, in the same industry, the wom
en- and girls struck bravely against the pack
ing house bosses who drive them to such
speed in steamy rooms that one girl fell dead
at her work. And not before the strike lasted
several weeks and seven workers were shot
down by police on the picket line was their

New Pamphlet of Prospects of
the Revolution in China

THE revolutionary wave in China is rising.
This is phenomenon OF unusual slgnl1i-
canoe to the development of the worldwide
revolutionary struggles Of the working class
and oppressed peoples in the colonies. 1t is
of the utmost Importance for the American
workers to have a correct4Marxist understand
ing of the events that are taking place in China.
Although there scores of old publications
dealing with the Chinese revolution, up till
now, a good Marxist analysis of the current
happenings in China has been lacking.
Comrade R. Doonping's excellent pamphlet,
"Militarist Wars and Revolution in China"
which has just been off the press few weeks,
answers this need. 1t is revised edition, with
some new additions, of a series of eight long
articles which appeared in The DAILY
WORKER some time ago. The value OF this
pamphlet is clearly pointed out by Comrade
Earl Browder in a forword in which he said
the following: ~
"The events of 1927, the period of the be-
trayal of the revolution, were described in
booklet ("Civil War in China" publihed by
Labor Unity, 1927 in the form of the notes
of an American participant in some of the
events of that time AS the author Of that
descriptive pamphlet, which dealt with the
treacherous events at the time they were hap
penrg / wish to recommend the present book
let as the first analysis of these events and their
consequences which has yet appeared in the
English language 1t is a permanent con-
tribution to the political literature on the Chi
nese revolution. AS such it is contribution to
the world struggle to overthrow the rule of
Imperialism" November 81, 1929
The pamphlet costs only Is cents per copy
and is on sale at the Workers Bookshops thru
out the country The readers are also advised
to read Comrade Browder's pamphlet, "Civil
War in Nationalist China" published in 1927,
which will provide the reader with the histori-
cal background in order to have better uned-
standing of the events discussed in the
pamphlet.-B. R.

Soviet Women Workers Meet
With Foreign Delegates

THE International Women Workers Trade
Union Committee met with the foreign wom-
en- delegates visiting the U.S.S.R. to study the
achievements Of Soviet Women workers. There
were ten women delegates from Germany and
Austria, eight from Britain and: America and
six from France.
Many of the delegates described yividly the
position of the women workers in their home
countries and drew attention particularly to
defects in trade ,ufion3actiytiess as carried on
among the women workers. Ia French dele
gate declared that in the event Of war the men
and women workers Of France would take the.
rifles offered them and turn them against the
oppressors of = the working class.
Comrade Moirova on behalf of the I. w. W..
t. U. c. drew the attention Of the delegates
to-the fact that in appraising the achievements
of the women workers in the U.S.S.R it must
not be forgotten that when the workers took
over power sthe Russia Of the cars was a
vastly different place FROM what it is now,
and it was only by comparing conditions then
and now that one could get any real measure
of the achievements attained by the Soviet wom-
en- workers. sAs &c, 7,a-
After depicting in vivid colcrs the revolu-
tionary situation and the way the masses were
driving to the left, Comrade Moirova pointed
to the necessity of giving their revolutionary
enthusiasm and energy the needed lead in the
proper direction. She stated that the movement
could record an influx Of workers into the Red
trade unions as well as into the. Communist
Parties of the different countries She con-
sidered that it was also most important for
the Red trade unions and the Party jointly
to organize self-defense, the need for which was
felt by every woman worker taking an active
part in the fight for their class.
The working class struggles must not consist
solely in winning material improvements, the
delegates pointed out, but must aim at winning
power for the working class and ushering in
the Dictatorship of the Proletariat the world
over. To accomplish this aim, women work
ers must organize more and more of their fell
low workers and carry on the fight with the
energy they have already displayed.

Women Steel Workers and tn,
War Danger
BY ANNA ROCHESTER.

IRON and steel industries EMPLOYED more th.r
10000 women workers at the time of the ,s,,
census I920-an increase of 137 per cent over
I9lo. The next census will certainly show =
lar greater number of women EMPLOYED in this
nasic war industry, for the boss class has dis
covered that with the increase of machine.
women as cheap labor supply can be used not
only IN light but also in heavy industry.
RAD one-third to one-half less than men
workers Tor the same job, women and Young
covered that with the increae of machines
III hours day, Sd hours week in the great
pennsylvania steel industry and longer in other
steel states. Where men coremakers in foun.
aries earn 70 cents an hour, women earn onlv
"A. cents. The usual pay for women in the steel
industry ranges from IS to 40 cents an hour.
worker employed by the Wheeling Steel
Corp. at Wheeling, w. Va, writes that women
at that plant earn $3.50 for 1918 hour work
ing day. Six years ago there were practically
no women workers in this plant and now there
are practically no men. Girls push their own
trucks full of steel to their working places.
Employment of women workers in such
war industry as steel is highly significant. In
an imperialist war the master class sends man
workers to die at the front while thew them
selves as owners profit stupendously from the
vastly increased demand for war materials II
so far as production can be carried on bv wom-
en- workers more men can be released for
slaughter in capitalist armies. 1t was proved
IN all capitalist countries during the great i'm
peralist war of 1914-191S that women could be
used in practically all the production processes
OF munitions and explosives plants Similarly
women are now employed in other chemical in
dustres in electrical plants and in iron and
steel manufacture.
Glass conscious workers realize that in
creased exploitation of women in basic war in
dustries helps the imperialist preparation for
war against the Soviet Union. Only the Com
nunist Party, the Trade Union Unity League
and it's affiliated unions are fighting the war
danger. Steel workers, both men and women.
are beginning to realize the true meaning of
war preparations. They are beginning to or
ganize in the Metal Workers Industrial League
under the leadership Of the Trade Union Unity
League. esssEx xs2Exx Y X
