Soviet Women Workers Make Great Strides Forward
Ten Million
u S Children
Are Starving

Ten million children in the United
States are not getting enough food
to keep them alive and healthy, ac-
cording to the Washington Child
Conference, which also stated that
there are three million consump-
tive children.
Children must have air, food and
sunshine to keep them healthy.
Millions of American children
don't get enough food and many
live in old unsanitary tenements
and cellars and slums where air
and sun cannot penetrate.
A mother is fighter. Mothers
will fight to provide food for their
children. They are militant fight
ers on the picket line.
Nine million working women in
the United States don't work in
factories and laundries because
they like to slave nine and ten
hours a day, leaving their children
in the streets; they work because
the children at home are hungry
and waiting for the $40 or $40
which the work of mother or big
sister can bring, and because hus-
bands and fathers and grown sons
are unemployed, or their wages
too low to live on,
The answer of the mothers must
be: demand for good warm food
and clothing for all school chill
dren.
Working women and mothers of
the country will go further than
this. They will demand immediate
relief and unemployment insur-
ance. They will organize into ma
tionwide councils of the unem-
ployed and put up a fight with the
men for the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill. The working
women of this country, native,
Negro and foreign born will also
fight for better shop conditions:
for better wages and against the
killing speed up.
The women of the working class
know how to battle. They will show
their colors on March 8, Interna-
tional Women's Day.

We must, on the contrary, call
the masses of laboring women to
the support of the working class
struggles all over the world. We
must say "You women cannot stay
away from our struggle! You

Plan to Draft Women for War
The capitalist state is already
preparing laws making compulsory
the service of women during the
coming war. AS in the European
states in 1914, the women will have
to replace men in the armament
industry.
While fascism considers the
woman worker equal to the man if
the question is to crowd the fac
tories that manufacture cannons
and shells, it doesn't consider the
woman worker fully equal to man
when it comes to wages.
Working Women Will Resist
The woman worker is forced to
slave today under the oppression
of the capitalist state and the
opium of the church. Tomorrow,

Prepare For
March s in
q r m a n y
By EDNA STAINS

In Germany the capitalist class
tries at the expense of the work
ing class to liberate itself from its
desperate situation. The toiling
masses are exploited till they bleed
through unemployment, rationale
cation, reduction of wages, taxes,
and the costs of the Young Plan.
The women suffer especially I'M
der these conditions. The female
workers in the shops work under
inhuman conditions and starvation
wages. Every day women break
down at their machines. Twenty
year old girls are replaced by girls
of 16 and II who receive smaller
wages per hour on account Of an
agreement between the bosses and
the trade union fake leaders.
In agrarian districts women
work twelve hours and more daily
for starvation wages. How great
the suffering is we can see from
the fact that in Upper Silesia wom-
en- sell their children to be able
to buy some necessary furniture
or clothes.
Unemployment Funds Taken
Away
In the war industries (chemicaD
women are in a majority. After
three or four years they are no
longer able to work on account of
the steady inhaling of the poison
Gus air. Nothing remains for
them but starvation, because the
capitalists took away the unem-
ployment funds for women with
the assistance of the socialists, us
ing the lie that the women are
house-workers in the first place.
The fascists who before the
September elections had been pos
ing as the friends of the working
class, introduced a motion in the
German Reichstag for labor-ser-
vice year for women between the
age of 20 and 81 years. They
would force young women of the
working class to work one year
long for wages of 80 pfennigs
(about cents) daily to scrub and
clean the dirt for the ladies of the
bourgeoisie. The girls would then
be substituted by men who would
have to work for the same low
wages.
Joining Communist Party
However, the working women of
Germany are joining the Commun-
list Party in increasing masses and
also the Rotten Frauen und Maed-
chenbund to participate in the
struggles of the men.
In this sense we are preparing
for the Eighth of March (Interna-
tional Women's Day.. In Ger

pressed and exploited women

mands for free workers state.

OF the factory is woman, PimiT
into the room, a rather stocky
woman, with firm, heavy steps,
smiles lighting up her serious face
as she saw the workers delega-
ton. We looked at her eagerly.
A woman director of a factory!
A woman who symoolizes, in a
way, +he new life If freedom, of
equality, of glorious activity and
accomplishments, which the pro-
letarian revolution has opened up
for the women in the Soviet
Union.
Seven Hour Day
In clear though gruff voice,
she told us about the factory. How
they were working seven hours a
day, whereas before the revolu-
ton the women toiled ten hours
daily; how women workers were
being modified through socialist
competition for the fulfillment of
the Five-Year Plan in Four Years,
and were becoming active enthu-
siastic participants in production;
how illiteracy among them was be-
ing wiped out and their political
understanding raised through dis
cussions, classes, circles. She told
us about the factory nursery and
the Kindergarten, where the work
ing mothers could leave their chill
dren under the care of trained
nurses and instructors; about the
complete liquidation of unemploy-
ment, the seady rise in wages.
A Worker All Her Life
AS for herself, she, the director
of a factroy, was a working wom-
an. She began work in 1913, in a
metal factory. She joined the
forces of the proletarian revolu-
ton in 1917. In 1919 came the
call for duty on the front, in the
war against~y,the counter-revolu-
honary white guard armies, backed
by foreign inaperialists. This in
iomitable woman worker was mob
Ilized, and served almost two years
on the front. At the end of 1920,
she returned to work in the same
factory, taking an active part in
its leadership. In 1929, she was
appointed the director of the Red
Textile Factory.
A working woman, rising step
by step to one of the highest posts
in Soviet industry! A working
woman almost illiterate before the
revolution, now trained under the
proletarian dictatorship to guide
the life and activity of a textile
factory in Moscow!
While the director Pimina was
speaking about the factory prob
lens, another woman worker en-
tered the room. She came in with
complete self-assurance. No cring-
ing here, no fearful chances, no
class barriers! AS one worker to
another, size spoke to the director,
using the familiar "thou."
''Tell the American Workers"
"Look," said one working woman
to US, her eyes glowing with spirit.
"Look what the Soviet Union has
done for US women"
Tell the American women
workers about us" said another.
"Tell them they must organize and
fight against capitalist exploita-
ton. Tell them only the proletar-
ian revolution can free them from
slavery"

OCCUPATION FORCES
 PREPARE FUR WINTER;
 NO HOPE FOR PEACE

MUKDEN, Nov. 16. (R = Colder weather is settling down or the Manchurian trouble area and win- ter clothing is being issued to the Japanese troops in Manchuria.
 This supplying of the army with winter clothing and the disposition of troops in all three areas who are holding communications sys- tems in an iron grip, is considered to be Japan,s answer to the League of Nations Council to it's hope for winter peace.
 Winter quarters are being pre- pared for the soldiers in all areas and indications were that military authorities expected winter-long occupation of the territory.
 The officials predicted that the occupation would last at least sev- eral months.

GOOD RESPONSE GIVEN GALL FOR FINANCING
 HANGAR AT SEWARD

It is announced today that the Aviation Committee under the aus piceS of the Seward Chamber of Commerce has secured $2200 of the necessary $3,0OO estimated neces- sary to build an airplane hangar on the Seward aviation field.
 Seward residents or business men who have not yet done their bit in aiding this community enterprise, are reminded that their contribu- tion will be accepted by members of the committee, composed of O.. M. Brosius, John w. Blase, Charles Lechner and Elwyn Swetmann.
 It is also desired at this time to call attention to the fact that these contributions to the local aviation hangar fund are not to be consid- cred as a gift but rather as strict business investment. The money will be refunded at a later date together with accrued interest.
 Contributions of $25, $50, S75, $100 or more will be accepted and 1t is the desire of the Aviation Com mittee to secure the whole amount immediately so that they can call a meeting and perfect plans and specifications of the hangar and to call for bids.

KAREN DISPATCHES REPORT BITTER FIGHTING AT

TOKYO, Nov. Is. (F General Nah Shen Chan, commander of the Chinese army, is reported to have attacked Japanese troops at Tahsing and that bitter fighting was in progress.
 The report of the battle reached here just as the government had it's eyes on the League of Nations Council session due in Paris today and the government announced that the League of Nations may not save it's face at the expense of Japan"
 y The governments position was made clear by a spokesman for the foreign office who conferred with the foreign minister. The report of the Battle at Tahsing was con- tained in an urgent message from Harbin saying that severe fighting was in progress. The foreign of- flee, through it's spokesman, said that, we scarcely expect any reso- lution or decision adopted by the League of Nations will help mat ters. We have often stated that we can't visualize anything such as settlement being reached that way"

CHICAGO. Nov. 16. (P-The rob- ping of banks may have paid in the good old days but now bank employ ees are better trained to resist any such attempts.
 The loot in bank robberies at present for the most part appears small. In dozen robberies throughout the nation during the past week, the average loot was only $500 cash, and two bandits were killed and one wounded. One bank official was wounded.
 Besides the above casualties, many of the robbers were taken.

RAILROAD EXECUTIVE,
 COLUMBUS HA|LE DIES
 AT H0ME: IN ST. LOUIS

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 16. t41-Colum- bus Halle, Fl years of age, former president of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway, died at his home here Saturday.
 MT. Halle began his long railroad career in Texas as a clerk for the Houston and Texas Central Railway in 1880. He had grown to manhood in Virginia where, after completing his education, he became a teacher in a small country school.

 When Columbus Halle was elect ed president of the Missouri, Kan sas and Texas Railroad in Decem- Der, 1928, he had behind him an experience of 46 years as railroad man.
 It was said that few men ever assumed the presidency of a rail- road better prepared for his parti- cular job than was MT. Halle. He had served as a general officer of the Katy" lines s years, during 20 of which he had been vice presi- dent in charge of traffic.
 MT. Halle was born at CarloWville, Ala, September 8, 1860. When he was boy his family moved to a plantation near Staunton, Va. The son was educated at Staunton Male Academy, Hampton-Sidney College and the University of Virginia. He was 19 when he was engaged as country school teacher at $25 a

GRANDI BEING RUSHED FROM NEW YORK BECAUSE FEAR
 OF DEMONSTRATIONS

NEW YORK, Nov. Is. (P) As Dino Grandi approached the New York hafbor, Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh waited with plane to pilot him to the United States cap- itol, at Washington, D. C., where Grandi is to begin a conference with President Hoover.
 Col. Lindbergh was at Savannah, Ga, enroute to Miami, Fla, to take over the command of a huge air. liner when he was recalled to New York. He said that there had "been a change in plans"
 When Col. Lindbergh arrived in New York, it was made known that the State Department had request ed that the inaugural flight of the huge liner, to be piloted out of Miami by Col. Lindbergh, be de- layed two days in order that Col. Lindbergh be able to fly the Italian Foreign Minister to Washington.
 Lindbergh will leave Washington for Miami to fly the big airplane on its inaugural voyage over the Caribbean Sea. ---s..--
 Dino Grandi is being taken di- rect to Washington because it is feared that if he remains in New York or delays along the route that there may be demonstrations by or ganiaztions in America who are opposed to the Italian form of gov ernment. It was planned to take Grandi off the ship at quarantine and then take him via route, not made public, to Washington.
 Grandi, in Italian political cir cles, is next to Premier Benito Mus solini and it is often that he is pointed out as being a likely suc- cessor to the fiery Italian leader.

PARIS, Nov. Is. R)-France and Germany have reached an accord on the handling of reparations and credits after two weeks of exceed ingly. difficult negotiations.
 The gist of the agreement is that France will accept simultaneous consideration of private credits from them in Germany and war debts while Berlin agrees to the appointment of separate organisms for the study of the two questions.
 Thus two inquiries will be carried out simultaneously. One will b. by the consultative committee of international law which will be strictly limited to the role assigned to 1t under the Yonng plan. name ly, the limitation whereby Ger many's capacity to continue war debt payments must be determined. The other inquiry will be confined to foreign creditor banks and Ger many debtor banks to work out a method of converting short time credits that will be acceptable to creditors and yet won't bankrupt Germany.

HARRISON HOT SPRINGS, B. O., Nov. 16-There is silver lining to clouds that envelope the salmon canning industry.
 This was agreed to by over 100 leading American canners and fish cry executives attending the an- nual meeting of the Association of Pacific Fisheries here.
