Communist Speaker Wildly Greeted
at Conference Of Peruvian Workers
$4,000 Workers Plan
Battles for Wages
and Bread

LIMA, Peru (By MaiD The clash
of the workers in the mining region
of Cerro de Pasco followed the hold
ing of a conference of the Workers
Confederation on November 5th.
There were Ill delegates, represent
ing $4,000 workers at this conference,
of which 10000 were Indians; 5000
unemployed.
When a representative of the Per-
uvian Communist Party spoke at this
conference he was greeted with wild
applause. The Communist Party
heretofore illegal in Peru, is coming
out into the open, despite the fascist
regime of Sanchez Cerro.
The Workers Confederation confer
ence decided that it would call con-
gress of all workers on January Is,
1881, to formulate a program Of
struggle against the Peruvian bour-
geoisie and their imperialist support
ers.
Immediate economic demands for
higher wages, better conditions, social
insurance for all workers, were put
forward by the conference.
Special demands for land for the
peasants, and a struggle against the
feudaI landlords was put forward.
?; was especially stressed that the
workers and peasants (most of whom
are Indians) must unite in their
struggle against the bourgeoisie, rep
resented by the Cerro government,
and against British and American
Imperialism.
There is a strike going on in the
North of Peru against the Standard
Oil Co.
Recent reports from Lima, Peru,
state, that the recent battle against
the so-called Civilian Party, was car
ried on by a large number of workers
under the leadership of the Com
munist Party. The Communist Party
is leading the struggles of the PERU
Wan workers and peasants, and de-
spite attempts of Cerro to keep it in
illegality it is forcing itself into the
open.
The Civilian Party represents the
cleft wing" of the bourgeoisie in the
Cerro government. There is now an
open struggle going on between the
workers on the one hand, led by the
eminent and the so-called Civilian
Communist Party, and the Cerro gov
Party.
The minister of the interior was
dismissed by Cerro because of his
"mishandling" of the labor troubles

BERLIN, Nov. 26. - The Labor En-

employed workers in Germany. There
has been an increase of 100000 since.
The Ruhr mine owners intend to
end the existing wage agreements
and they are demanding reductions,
in the wages. The arbitration deci-
sion of the Breslau metal workers
provides a 5 percent wage cut on
fixed wages and a rs percent cut on
piece work rates.
The arbitration decision providing

even more glaring.

even more glarlng.
Furthermore, it is generally admit
ted that since the beginning of the
crisis the health hazards and death
rates of working class children have
considerably increased.
In contrast to these conditions in
the United States, there are the low
cred death rates of children of toll
ers in the Soviet Union. Under the
car, Russia had one of the highest
infant mortality rates in the world.
In l9ll-l3, 27.3 per cent of the chill
dren died in the first year of life,
or, in other words, barely three out
of every four born lived to be one
year old BY 1926 this rate had been
cut by the governments measure of
social protection for the mother and
child, to 1877 per cent, and 1t has
been further reduced since then.
Death rates of women from child
birth has been likewise reduced. The
mortality rate of adult working pop
ulation has been cut in half. Further
more, while the situation for work.
ers' children in capitalist America is
rapidly growing worse, in the Soviet
Union, where the workers and pea
SAINTS rule, conditions for their chill
dren - worlsing-class children ar
constantly improving.
Some of the social measures which
are bringing about the new life of
the Soviet's children are the follow
ing:
Every working woman receives two
months of rest and full pay before
the birth of her child. After the
child is BORN. she remains two weeks
in the hospital, with competent
nurses and physicians at her dis
posal, all at the expense of the gov.
eminent. She receives a free layette
for the child and is granted two
months more Of rest with full pay.
For the following nine months she
receives rs per cent extra on her
wages to cover the expense of child
nursing. On returning to work, she
finds nursery for the baby stu
ated near her place of work, or she
leaves the child in a nursery at the
workers cooperative, where she
lives. During working hours, mothers
are given ten to fifteen minutes every
three and half hours to feed their
babies.
Two thousand health stations, in
addition to the nurseries, have been
distributed throughout the industrial
sections of Russia, where the latest
information on child hygiene, train
ing and nutrition are available. For
illiterate mothers, brightly colored
pictures give the same information.
Also, public Fairgrounds for workers
children, practically unknown before
the revolution, are now spread over
the entire country, running into the
tens of thousands.
In addition to these tractors, the
higher wages, better living quarters
and generally improved conditions OF
the working class naturally have a
direct affect on the health and
physique of the younger generation.
These changes are reflected in an
increase in weight, height and chest
measurement of the children.
In Soviet Russia new day has
dawned for working class youth.

5000 ON BREAD
LINE in SEATTLE
Served Miserable Stop,
Stale Bread
(By a Worker Correspondent

SEATTLE, Nov. 24.-There are
nearly 5000 unemployed workers who
are forced to eat at the rotten soup
line in this city. The line is run by
the Volunteers of America, the same
grating outfit that received over
$4,000 from the local Communist
Fund. The workers eating at this
soup kitchen have to stand in line
for hours to receive a small tin bowl
of soup and piece of stale bread.
On interviewing some of the workers
in this line I found that there were
masons, carpenters, machinists, in
fact workers Of practically every
trade.
AS to the uality of the soup served,
the following incident may give some
light. Two workers in the line were
attracted by hungry dog that was
standing nearby. Feeling sorry for
the dog and wanting to test the quail
ity of the soup these two workers
procured bowl which they set be-
fore the dog. The dog took one smell
of the soup, threw up its nose and
went trotting down the street.
Workers! Even dog will not eat
the slop that the bosses throw at us.
We brag of the fact that we are hui
man beings and supposedly superior
to the common animal, but here we
see a dog that knows better than to
eat the poison that the bosses OF
Seattle want to give the workers. 1t
is time that we got together and
showed the bosses Of Seattle that we
do not want their rotten Slop, but
real unemployed insurance.

McKEESPORT, Pa.,-When I was

there were rumors that every worker
in the mill must give one days wages
to the Welfare Fund for the unem-
ployed, Lots of workers are mad
about it, if you refuse they will take
it out of your pay just the same.
The Welfare Fund is run by our
crooked Mayor George H. Lysle,
Senator w. B. Manseld, owner of
the Daily News paper and others.
Why take one days wages from the
workers for The unemployed. Why
don't our Mayor Lysle give the I'M

The $4,000. in stock he got was
this way. He got that as a present
from the U. S. Steel Corp in 1919
strike, which he helped break. And
why don't the preachers in McKees-
port give to the unemployed. They
got $500. from the U. S. Steel Corp.
Fellow workers let's wake up for
once. The bosses don't care for our
health in the mills. all that is in their
heads is how to make profits the
fastest way. Don't give a cent to the
Welfare Fund, let the bosses do that,
we must make them do it.

CHILDREN-W WHERE THE BOSSES
RULE AND WHERE WORKERS RULE

While Hoover, at the conference
on child health and protection was
spilling hypocritical phrases about
American children, Solomon Mac
Kenzie, Negro worker of Brooklyn,
N. Y, was notifying authorities that
one Of his children was dying Of star
walton. When the physician, DR..
Guidiotti of Holy Family Hospital,
reached the Mackenzie home at 557
Warren st. he found the baby, Err
skine, dead. Death was due to mall
nutrition, the doctor said The ten
months old child had starved to
death.
Mackenzie said he had been out
of work for eleven months and the
family had nothing to eat except
what working-class neighbors, who
are also very poor, have been able
to give them. There are five other
children, including Ursula, twin sis
ter of the dead baby. The rent has
been unpaid for some time, so evic-
ton is not far off. The lights have
been cut off and Mackenzie fears the
gas will be turned off soon.
A few days ago the Daily Worker
reported the death Of another baby,
Frank Perrone, who also died OF
"malnutrition" This baby's father
was a shoemaker, likewise unem-
ployed for several months. Unfor-
tunately, Erskine Mackenzie and
Frank Perrone have many hundreds
of companions among the children OF
the workers and Impoverished farm
ers of the United States. Pellagra, a
dread disease which attacks not only
the body but finally the brain as
well, and tuberculosis, both recog-
nized by medical authorities as dis
eases of poverty" are taking a heavy
toll of the children Of the 100000
unemployed, as we'll as of those whose
fathers and often whose mothers are
toiling in the textile, mining, steel,
tobacco and other Starvation wage"
industries.
Deaths from starvation and its at
tendant diseases are especially high
among Negro children, because their
fathers and mothers are forced into
the worst jobs at the lowest pay.
Negro Harlem's infant death rate is
one and half times that Of the
infant death rate for New York City
as a whole. According to DR.. Wini-
frid B. Nathan, who made this study,
the higher rates in Harlem are due
to poor sanitary conditions brought
on by congestion Of population, to-
gether with the poor nutrition and
living standards" which he attributes
to poverty and ignorance" In other
words, due to specially intense ex-
ploitation Of the Negro toilers, a
Negro child in Harlem has less than
a 2 to 3 chance to survive
The death rate Of Negro infants
in the Southern states is even greater
than that of Harlem's. Thirteen per
cent of Negro infants in South Caro-
lima die before they are one year of
age, while the death rate of Negro
mothers at childbirth is four times
the rate of such deaths in the coun-
try as whole. If direct compa-
rison between the death rate of
mothers and infants
could be made with those of the cap
italist class, the difference would be
