Call to Organize for
Int'l Wonens Day

international w OnleIlS lay takes
place at a time when throughout
the capitalist world tens of millions
of workers are unemployed. In the
United States alone there are over
million jobless; at least 2 million
of them are women. These millions
of workers are now exposed to
starvation without the barest neces-
sites of life. Mothers must watch
daily the suffering of little children
compelled to go without food, to go
to school with torn shoes and cloth
ing and to live in cold unheated
houses.
While these millions of workers
trod the streets daily looking for
work and fill the bread lines, while
their wives and children are starv-
ing and being thrown out Of their
houses, the bosses and the govern
ment are piling up billions of dol
lars in profits out of the sweat and
blood of the workers.
Unemployment, low wages and
further wage cuts, naturalization,
speed-up have forced women and
children into the mills and factories
by the millions.
Since the imperialist war of 1914
women have entered all industries
and are now working in the steel
mills, ammunition plants, electrical
plants, etc., doing the same kind of
work as men for nearly half the
wages.
Negro and Latin American women
are exploited even more than white
women workers. They are forced
to do the dirtiest and hardest work
for an unbelievably low wage. They
are Disseminated against and segre-
gated in the factories so that the
bosses can erect artificial barriers
between the workers and keep them
from uniting in a common struggle
against their oppressors.
The capitalist system lives upon
the misery and starvation of the
workers, it breeds unemployment.
To fight unemployment the workers
must first of all fight the capitalist.
system. Only when capitalism is
overthrown and a workers and
farmers government is established
like in the Soviet Union, can unem-
ployment be wiped out in the United
States.
The bosses in their greed for prof
it's shift the whole burden of the
economic crisis upon. the shoulders
of the workers. The bosses are pre-
pairing another imperialist war in
order to secure new markets and to
attacl, the Soviet Union, the work
ers' fatherland. In the coming war
women will be called upon not only
to run industries, but to take up
arms as provided for by most i'm
perialist countries in their militari-
cation program for women as well as
men.
Women workers, of all races, the
capitalist system means misery and
war for you. The only way to do
away with the misery and imperial
list war is to abolish the capitalist
system. Prepare yourself to turn
the coming war into a war against
the capitalists and defend the Soviet
Union.
The Communist Party is the only
Party that fights in the interests Of
the working-clas women and men,
Negro and white The unemployed
and employed women workers of the
United States must recognize that
it is only the Communist Party and
the revolutionary Trade Union

eddy capitalism and unemployment.
