tCopyrsht, 1881, by The Associated Presso
MOSCOW, July 7-Woman's role is
becoming increasingly important in
Soviet Russia's campaign for indus
trialization and agricultural develop
ment.
Due to the shortage of labor, which
grows more acute as each additional
stride is made toward fulfllment of the
five-year plan, their services are being
required more and more extensively, not
only in various professions and clerical
capacities, but as actual manual Ia
borerS.
In factories, in fields, in all forms
of industrial and agricultural work,
they labor side by side with the men,
receiving the same pay and the same
privileges for the same work.
Relieved of Home Duties.
To encourage wider induction of
women into the ranks of workers, the
government is making special efforts to
provide facilities for relieving them OF
all domestic drudgery. Extensive meas
ureS have been taken for the care OF
children in day nurseries and Kinder
gartenS. Communal dining rooms are
made available both to them and TO
the husband. Communal launderleS also
are provided.
when approaching motherhood fac
tory and agricultural workers are al
lowed four months cessation from
work, with full pay; office workers are
given three months.
A woman operator of a Moscow
tramcar was asked how she liked the
work in comparison to household
duties.

do things and see the achievement of
actual results. Besides, they like us

contribute also?
Children Cared For.
"Our two children? They are being
cared for by expert nurses and are
being educated in kindergartens under
better advantages than we otherwise
could provide for them. They are in
finitely better off this way. My hus-
band? He feels about it exactly as

planned that The salary is about 80

and that this. combined with her hus-
bands income, permits Lnem 10 main

order and prepare necessary meals.
Government figures show that In
1880 2.975, 283 women were engaged In
productive work in the Soviet Union
and that 900 took active parts in
political work. The addition OF l.
soc, 900 women to this number Is con-
templated for 1881.

are operators and conductors on tram
cars and autobuses. In the agricul-

in the fields, but as drivers and me-

picture is the same.

 T know of at least one case, a bright young Jew, who had super intended the construction of a can ming plant. There were the usual number of six months engineers on the job.

 "The system of education, both in the schools and through the mo- vies, apparently has but one ob- iect-to brutalize the mind and teach bloodShed and revolution. Pictures are shown which literally run with blood. These are for the younger a generation, and cannot help but have the effect such as was revealed when two children stole two chickens from my wife. A droshky driver witnessed the theft and followed them to school I was told of the incident by my wife, and accompanied the droshky driver to the school house. He ex- plained to the teacher what had happened and pointed out the children. They had the dead chick ems hidden under their coats. Thru the interpreter I asked them if they thought tht was the right thing to do They stood like dumb animals gazing straight at me, evidently in capable of understanding the diff ference between right and wrong. The other children laughed and guyed them for being caught. The nearest think I can compare these children to is dumb oxen. can imagine what will be the result of this brutalization.

One day I dropped in and the waiter told me the cook would prepare me a good American meal. It consisted of cabbage soup, potatoes, bread and tea, but no butter. At the end of the course we were served fowl. It was a medium sized bird. I asked the waiter what it was. He Tapped his arms to indicate that 1t was a wild fowl. We ate it, and it tasted about like any poorly cooked fowl. Finally I again asked what 1t was. Again the waiter flapped his arms. Just then flock of crows arose from the courtyard.
 "'What name him?' asked the waiter. When I told him. he re- piled: That's him!' That is the first and only time I have eaten crow, and it cost g rubles-$15-36."

Big Increase in

Demand Relief

PRAGUE.-During the last three
months unemployment in Czechoslo-
vakia has increased, according to Of
fetal figures, by about 80 percent.
Demonstrations Of the unemployed
workers are becoming more and more
frequent and violent collisions often
take place. In Aussig a demonstra-
ton of about 1000 unemployed work
ers marched to the municipal author
tiles in order to send a deputation.
The authorities refused to receive
deputation and the police immedi-
ately attacked the workers with great
brutality and without warning. Two
workers and a pregnant woman who
could not run fast enough were
knocked unconscious. A number of
workers were arrested and terribly
beaten up in the police station.
A great demonstration also took
place recently in Freistadt in SiIe-
STA. The police failed to break up
the demonstration. Severe collisions
occurred in Podebrad where the dem
onstrating unemployed broke through
a police Gordon and drove the police
back.

PEKING. - The Chinese newspap-

They admit that the anti-red drive
he collapsed. Instead of defeating
and annihilating the red troops the
Kuomingtapg armies have suffered
a series of reverses at their hands,
whereby the red troops have captured
great quantities of arms and ammu-
milton. Certain points are in possess
sion of the Kuomingtang troops, but
their tenure is not secure. The stu
alton in the province of Kiangsi is
similar.
Here the Marking armies have suf-
fered debacle at the hands of the
red troops as a result of which the
9Th and 18th Marking divisions were
surrounded and disarmed. The red
armies in the south of Kiangsi, in
the northwest of Fukien and in the
south of the province of Hupeh are
still indicated and occupy large
stretches of land. AS a result of this
wretched military situation the Chi
nese hourgeoisie is very depressed.

new YORK,
Editor, Daily Worker:
The /. r. T. News, a paper pub
lished by the Interborough Rapid
Transit Co, on Dec. gath, published
an account of the voluntary dona-
tiens to relief funds for the unem-
ployed. 1t read as follows;

Following suggestion that orig
mated with the general committee of
the IRT Brotherhood and those in
clerical and executive positions not
affiliated with the Brotherhood have
donated to the fund one days pay
during the month of December as
their contribution for relief of the un-
employed in Greater New York"
First let us understand that the l..
R. T. Brotherhood is not an employees
union altho it is represented as such
but rather it is union for employees
controlled by the company and hid
Ing under the pretense of Brother
hood of the employees. Whenever,
for proof of this, existing conditions
make absolutely necessary the as
sistance in any way of any employee
or whenever the IRT feels it their
duty to punish any employee for some
assumed cause the so-called Brother
hood makes a pretense at defending
the worker. In extreme cases even
going to the expense of mimic legal
fights. OF course in the majority of
cases the company wins.

In 1881 the production of starch and
syrup will increase by 65qo. NIacaroni
production will increase in 1881 by
5196. The total yield of the Soviet
fisheries for 1881 is estimated at %
