DETROIT, Mich. - A coun-
Gil of working women was or
gained at Warren Township

school board and placed the
following demands:
That workers children be
given hot dinners in school;
that the gym of the school be
given to the Workers Athletic
Club for use (this demand was
already granted; that workers
of Warren Township be allow
ed to use the gym for an open
forum on Sunday.
The answer was that the
board would have to write to
Lansing, Mich, before they
could grant any of the de-
mands.
At the last meeting of the
Working Women's Council of
Warren Township, a commit
tee was elected to go to the
school board and demand an an
swer, and if the demands are
not granted, then the council is
going to call mass meetings
and organize to appear before

monstration.

Not only in actual war units like
the Red Cross and the new aviation
corps, but in 40 patriotic societies,
women are prepared for war and
particularly for war against the
Soviet Union. The Women's Patri-
otto Conference on National De-
tense met recently in Washington,
claiming to represent 100000
women. This conference included
the American Legion Auxiliary,
the American War Mothers and
the Daughters Of the American
Revolution. Aiming frankly at

organized in opposition to the Sow

Naturally, in such situation til
face a special attack, and this has
not delayed in developing. They
have been subjected to the most
vicious wage cuts, speed up, and
lay offs. Now there is a definite
move to drive whole categories of
them out of industry altogether.
This is being done as one of the
typical fake capitalist remedies"
against unemployment. The slo-
gan is that all women who are
omply supported by their hus-
bands wages or by other family
income must get out of industry
and be supplanted by male work
ers.
A. F. of L. Endorses Bosses
Maneuvers
This movement is quite wide
spread. For example, Governor
Aliens unemployment committee
in Massachusetts seems to think
that this is a very important way
to contribute to the liquidation of
unemployment. Of course, the A.
F. of L., which reflects every re-
dictionary move of the bosses, sup
ports this Inaneuver also. The.
Women's Trade Union League.
joins in the attempt to drive the
women from industry. Various
local bodies of the A. F. of L. do
the same, rs for example, the
Cedar Rapids Federation of Labor,
which openly endorses the bosses
plans.
The alleged purpose of this lat
est scheme is to eliminate "pin
money" workers and give their
employment to deserving heads of
families. But this is nonsense.
Aside from being one of the many
ways for showing upon the work.
ers the burden of maintaining the
unemployed, it is also very def
mite part of the employers ra-
tionalization program.
Older Women Driven From
Industry
It is highly significant that it is
the older women workers who are
being driven from industry.
Whereas just ten years ago the
census showed that over sixty per
cent of women workers were aged
from 25 to As, now the rule is
not to hire women workers over 81
years. old. AS also in the case
Of men workers, the capitalists
want only the most active and
strong. But, typically, they cover
up this brutality with hypocriti-
cal pretenses of promoting the
welfare of the workers.
Our Party and the Trade Union
Unity League must, of course, take
up mllitantly the defense of the
women workers from these at
tacks. We must unreservedly fight
for the right of all women, mar
ried or not, to work in the in
dustries. We must put forward our
whole program of special demands
for women workers. The fight of
women for the right to work is
one of the most fundamental as

emancipation.
