Mine Women's Conference Lays
Plans for Carrying On the Strike

for. We women must fight against the war that
is coming 1t is our sons who go to war and
get killed. And we never get anything out of
war. The workers in Russia have a good gov
eminent and the bosses want us to fight against
them" This was the speech of Rosie Lenoff
who has taken militant part in the struggle
against starvation.
Mrs. stefanic OF Maynard, Ohio, mentioned
the fact that the government and its tools are
for the bosses and against the workers. When
a scab's wife threatened workers wife with
butcher knife the sheriff refused to do anything
about it. But every morning women are picked
off the picket line, beaten up and held on high
bond
Comrade Mitchell, a Negro woman from Dill
lonvale, Ohio, asked that the women all stick
together and fight, I'VE got to do little more
fighting than we've done up till now" she said
Other comrades also took part in the dis
cussion. They told of company stores where
prices were twice as high as in ordinary stores
and where guards were placed at the entrance
of the towns, treating the miners almost as they
would slaves From Provident section came the
report Of the girls who had been taken to jail
and beaten u ply the deputies for daring to
go on the picket lines.
The conference fulfilled its purpose well 1t
laid down plans for the work of the women in
structed them to build new auxiliaries them
selves and, by the discussion and exchange of
experiences, taught them new ways of work.
The women went back to their tows with more
enthusiasm and spirit and more willingness to
carry on the fight.
Already the results Of the conference are be-
ing felt. Today, the day after the conference,
one OF the most militant women in the Dillon
vale section, delegate to the conference, was
picked up by the state deputies for modifying
the women on the picket line and for activity
IN relief work. She was taken first to Dillon
vale and then removed to Smithfield. From
there she was taken to Steubenvil1e the county
seat Of Jefferson County Ohio, from where she
sent us a note telling us of the threat to send
her to Columbus state prison of Ohio In her
note she called for more activity on the part
OF the women in carrying on the fight Further
results Of the conference could be seen by to-
days demonstrations against capitalist wars
where women made up large part of the
crowd and took an active part in the demon
strations

The Second International
Prepares for War

james Keir Hardie, the we'll known So
cIalist and independent Labor member of the
House OF Commons ON behalf of the English
Social Democracy ard 100000 trade unionists,
said that the English laforing classes were try
ing to create united Socialist Party to fight
nlilitarisin by all the means at It's command.
II the statesmen did not obtain pesco for
Europe, he declared, then The International
Social Democracy would do so."-Scpt Is 1913
Preparing for the Attack the Soviet Union.
Socialists, Vandervelde said, must renew the
demands they made at the last congress in
Hamburg-first, the restriction of PREPARATIONS
to the direct damage done to civilian popula-
tons; second the cancellation of all other war
debts: third, the quickest possible termination
of military occupations, and fourth, disarna-
ment. The International, he said, was
firmly resolved to put an end to ornaments
military alliances and hostile groups Of pow
ers."-N, Y. Times July g. 1881
As the preps rations of the capitalists for
war become quite open the socialists try TO fool
the masses with phrases against war The
present phrases of the Second International
are to cover up their active participation in
the capitalist war front. Smash the united
front of the socialists and imperiaIists against
the Soviet Union. Defend the Soviet Union.

Does it Surprise You?

The Chicago Tribune regularly has spells OF
horror at its periodical discovery that in the
Soviet Union there exists a proletarian dictator
ship.
Just recently it had another attack OF shivers,
over poor Nine. Krynin," whose husband is
SUCH a respectable old skinflint that, after
deceiving the Soviet Government by going abroad
on its business entrusted to him, with the I'M
derstanding that he return refused to return
on the thin excuse that he feels better in this
climate" and plays melodranitcs by wiring Ber-
nard Shaw and Lady Astor to please rescue his
wife from the Red Terror
There is liberty in the Soviet Union but only
for workers who are concerned for their class
interests-not any abstract liberty. There is
liberty in the United States-but only for cap
pitalists and those who support capitalism.
1t is question of dictatorships- capitalist or
proletarian And please don't get some nonsen-
steal notion about liberty in general" mixed up
in either case. If you do, you will be forgetting
there is no liberty for workers in the United
States and likewise falling in the bourgeois press
trap and becoming surprised because there is
not any liberty in the Soviet Union for enemies
of the workers
dictatorship is a dictatorship-and don't
forget it!

A Peach of a System, This!

The Federated Press of July 2s sends US this
one:
Los Angeles-Thousands OF trees Will be
uprooted in order to save the California peach
market from over production. A control board
of Gamers and growers has decided to limit the
1881 crop to 100000 cases, using 10000 tons of
fresh peaches The ordinary surplus is about
$4,000 tons of first-class fruit The price can
ners have offered this season is $3.50 a ton for
the peaches packed, figure allowing no profit
to growers. Enough orchards will be destroyed
by agreement to bring production nearer the de-
mand"
Now, isn't that perfectly lovely with
peaches that are fit to eat selling on New York
fruit stands at 5 cents eachl
Please note that what little the capitalists can
do to organize capitalism" is a shameless rob-
berry of the workers.
Then remember that the fascist Matte VOL
and the social-fascist Norman Thomas and his
socialist" party are great advocates Of organ
lied econorny"-but without any revolutionary
overthrowal of capitalism by the workers.

By FRIEDA TRUHAR,

Women's Organizer N. NJ u, District 6.
THE District Conference Of the Wonens
1 Auxiliaries Of Eastern Ohio and Northern
West Virginia laid plans for the building of new
auxilaries and the strengthening OF the auxil-
iaries already in existence. Mary Smith, OF the
Western Pennsylvania District of the National
Miners Union, brought greetings from the
women there and gave report on the condi-
tons generally in the strike field. She stressed
the need for the women to participate in the
picket lines and play an active part in the
strike work Frieda Truhar reported on the
local situation and showed the weaknesses in
the work She pointed out the future tasks
of the women in this strike. Many Of the strik-
ers' wives and daughters participated in the dis
cussion, telling of their experiences and ex-
pressing their determination to carry on the
struggle. A district committee of is was elected,
composed OF the women who are taking a lead
ing part in the strike in this district Mary
Donaldson, Negro woman from NIcKinleyville,
West Virginia, was elected district president and
Ella Sepus of Yorkvile, Ohio, was elected district
secretary.
Mrs. Thomas of Warwood, W. Va, said, in
part Il went down into mine and 1 am sure
if you women went into mine and saw what
black holes they were you would fight even
harder so your husband at least gets something
work. They took my husband to jail. And I
told that sheriff I would go out and take the
place Of my husband, and I did"
Mary Karel Of Maynard said; Our picket
lines are still going strong. Our Wonen's Auxil-
iary is functioning well and We have good soup
kitchen. We go to the farmers to collect and
they help us. for they know this is their fight
as well as ours. Conlrade Tokar and are picked
up every day almost and threatened because we
go on the picket line. But we know this is our
fight and that is the way to win it."
Julia Tokar, also Of Maynard told of the
former betrayals Of the United Mine Workers
Comrades, this is our chance to win. John l..
Lewis has sold us many times and sold us cheap.
But he will never do it again. We are wise to
him now. Only the National Miners Union
leads us in our struggle"
Comrades, we must know what this strike
means. We are fighting against starvation. If
we lose this strike We might as well all jump in
the river, for we will have nothing left to live

In the Cotton Markets
(By Thomson & McKinnon)

NEW YORK, May 29.-In the alb
sence of any new development an
advance of about 20 points in the
cotton market this morning may
safely be attributed to technical
reasons. After so drastic a de-
cline, something further in the way
of an advance could easily occur
without the aid of anything in the
way Of constructive news.
The weather is good. Showers in
Texas appear to be working to-
ward the east. Sloan of the Tex
tile institute is doubtless right in
expecting great publicity for cotton
during the first week in June, ma
tional cotton week.
Merchants all over the country
may be counted on to take full adj
vertising advantage Of the occasion.
We feel that the textile trade is
fully prepared for slack business,
so are the stores, and for chat rea-
son are i'll prepared for anything in
the way of a crop scare.
Cotton should be very active this
summer. We expect to see it a fine
trading medium with the major
movement subject to weather condi-
tons.
