WOMEN WORKERS
IN RED CAMPAIGN
100000 Women Are
Exploited In u. S.

One hundred eighty-two delegates
representing 50 shops, SO fraternal
women's organizations and Is Party
units, assembled Saturday afternoon
at Irving Plaza Hall, to organize for
the communist campaign.
The necessity for greater activity
for the red election campaign
among the working women of the
shops and factories, Offices and
stores, was stressed by Comrade J.
Louis Engdahl, communist candi-
date for Northumberland of
New York State and Comrade R. B.
Moore, communist candidate for At
torney-General Of New York State.
In addressing the conference, the
speakers pointed to the lessons of
the German elections, where the
Communist Party of Germany re-
ceived IS per cent of it's vote from
men, while it indicated a large
growth of the communist vote in the
shops and factories, particularly in
the heavy industries, it also indi
Gated that the revolutionary work
ers must pay more attention tc
propaganda among women workers.
There is a great field for com
munistic activity among the ten
million workers engaged in gain
| full occupations, the delegates
from various organizations pointed
out. In New York, there is enorm.
GUS exploitation among the girls ant
women employed in the department
stores, in the various offices, in the
candy factories, in the needle trades
and other industries.
TIL conference unanimously
adopted a resolution endorsing the
commnig campaign and pledging tc
mobilize the workers in the shops
and the membership of the fraternal
women's organizations, for mass
propaganda for the communist plat

Detroit Charity Head

Jobless Army Growing
Must Fight for Relief
Through Class Action

DETROIT, Sept. 22.-"This win
ter will be one of the worst that
relief agencies have faced in years,
the present economic situation being
the worst since 1907 and possibly
since 1898" It wasn't a Communist
who said this, but William J. Nor
ton, executive president of the
Children's Fund of Michigan in an
interview recently with the Detroit
News.
The same Mr.. Norton who adds
that "few people realize the serious
ness of the situation" also takes oc-
casion to attack the demand for
unemployment insurance, especially
the bill presented by the Commu-
mist Party. His purpose in pointing
out what is undoubtedly true, that
this winter will be the worst ever
faced by the American workers, is
to arouse the bosses to resistance
against militant workers. The first
plan that Mr.. Norton has is to in
crease the bread lines, and to speed
up the miserable charity organiza-
tons that fatten on crisis.
The 100000 unemployed do not
need Mr.. Norton's word to know
that winter is going to be hell this
year. Most of them have been
unemployed for six months or over.
What is more, every day reports
come from all over the country tell

665 at work-and many of these

workers will suffer acutely this win

starvation wages. Wages dropped rs

CANTON, Ohio, Sept. 22.-The
workers in the Hercules Motor Co.
in Canton received a wage-cut of
from 20 to so per cent. Most of
the work is piece-work and the
wage-cut even affected the skilled
mechanics, day hands, etc, from
$36-$37 a week down to $17-S1s
a week; day rates from 35 to &C
cents an hour.
Speed-up and the introduction OF
new machinery, besides the fact
of the general economic crisis, has
resulted in the laying off of 600
men, and thus instead of 900 as
the formal force only 300 are now
employed.
The workers, Immediately after
the wage-cut, came to the Metal
Workers Industrial League and
asked for assistance. Meetings
were held with workers of the
shop, where they exposed the wage
cuat and at the same time issued
a series of demands.

every day and the workers have
endorsed the demands. A good
number of them already have
