THE question Of the organization and develop
L ment Of the struggle Of women workers be-
comes more and more important with the deep
ening Of the capitalist crisis It has been one
of the serious weaknesses OF the TUUL not to
have paid far greater attention to this vital task
International Women's Day on March 9Th must
mark turning point in this respect and ini-
tate real organization work of the revolution
airy unions among the great army of women
toilers
The woman worker constantly plays a more
important role In industry Through the ra-
tionalization process, and through preparations
for the capitalist war, increasingly large num-
bers of women are being brought into industry.
This is true not only of light industry, but of
heavy industry as well. During the years 1920
80 there has been an increase of 100000 women
workers. as compared with an increase Of 100000
from 1910 to l920-during the World War period,
One of the principal aims of the employers in
bringing such large masses of women into in
dustry is to beat down wage standards by COM
Polling these unorganized women to work for
lower rates even than the poverty wages paid
to unorganized men workers. Since the begin
ming of the present crisis, the wages OF women
have gone down 30 to 40 per cent. There has
also been a frightening Of their hours, in
creased speed-up. They have suffered acutely
from unemployment,-abo 100000 women
workers are now iobless. They are the victims
Of poverty, and restitution In its worst forms.
OF course the Negro women workers suffer most
acutely from all this exploitation and poverty.
They are Disseminated against in every way,
and are forced to do the hardest work at low
est wages,

Every comrade Of this district as a memorial
to Comrade Simrns should pledge himself to
bring in at least one new member to the Party.
Every Party Unit and YCL Unit must see that

aanoap&ishs6 the socialist revolution, which
commences With the passing OF the means Of
production na<naSy, ths land, the factories,
works, etc. into the hands Of society, into the
hands Of the State. The basis OF exploitation
OF man by man Is the ownership by some in
divsdual 1t the nnsanS Of production and nom

pie into classes and breeds exploitation We
know that In regard to big industry and the
land the transfer OF the means Of production
to the ownership c6 our workers' State is COM
pSstsd long ago. Tbs sams process will now
Be finally completed IN every ether economic
field as well thus achieving the abolition Of the
causes that breed class differences and explota-

and the complete abolition OF the causes which
breed class differences and exploitation, mean
also the liquidation Of classes altogether If
there are no capitalist elements, /. G., no ex-

are completely hquidated, of what classes can
one then speak? Then one can no longer speak

capitalist elements the task of the second Five

Of course the liquidation of the capitalist ele-

with the overcoming of the desperate attempts
at resistance on the part Of the kuaks and the
bourgeois elenasnts generally. Tbs class strug-

especially in certain spheres and certain periods
become considerably more acute The complete
liquidation of the capitalist elements is possible
only on the basis of the complete carrying out
Of the policy OF the Bolshevist attack, which
overcornes each and every difficulty, which
unites round the working class tbs broad masses

and against all rgeois-capitalist elements
In interpreting the question of the abolition
of classes there still exist not few elements of

1t is their job to cover up the bosses war prep

more they speak of mo more war" "disarma-

Strong Bond Between
George v and Scotland

When the lord provost handed to
King George the keys Of Edinburgh,
the ceremonial required his majesty
to say, in returning them, that the
key could not be in better hands,"
The British rulers were celebrating
the thirty-eighth anniversary of their
wedding in Edinburgh. This was fit
ting, because it is due to two wed
dings that the keys Of the city were
handed to them at all.
If the Tudor princess had not mar
ried a king Of Scotland, James vi of
that country could never have been
Elizabeth's successor under the title
Of James of the United Kingdom, Of
Ireland and the Dominions Beyond the
Seas. And if his daughter had not
married the elector palatine the house
Of Hanover, from which George V is
more directly descended, could not
have come to the British throne after
the death of Queen Anne.
Because Of their marriages George
V bears the blended blood of the royal
house Of England and Scotland. His
Plantagenet ancestors Through John
Of Gaunt) were repeatedly chased out
Of Scotland. His Tudor ancestors
didn't dare try to conquer the Draw
ilk of Caledon. His Stuart ancestors
were the Scots well-beloved. Because
of that strain they forgive him his
Hanoverian blood.-New York Times.

young work horse from N. w. Race,
Frostburg, a few days ago.
Rev. E. E. Campbell and family re-
moved from Bittinger this week, going
to their new home in the State of
Ohio. Rev. Campbell faithfully served
the three Lutheran congregations
of the Bittinger pastorate for period
of eleven years and was forced to re-
sign the work because of i'll health.
During his pastorate here, Rev. Mr..
Campbell made many warm friends
and did much effective work among
his Pensioners, who regret his re-
tirement from the active ministry and
removal from the community.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITsCHERT

The hypocrisy and buck passing
tendencies of some of the European
diplomatic poker players, supposedly
gathered at Geneva to help the dis
armament movement, was exempli-
fled again recently in the outburst of
Premier Andre Tardieu, of France,
against the proposals of Hugh S. Glib
son, the American representative, that
the disarmament conference get down
to business by outlawing some of the
aggressive weapons of war. This sug-
gestion of Mr.. Gibson was made evil
IDENTIFY on the theory that the way to
get something done was to do some
thing, and that such proposal would
be practicable now that all nations
have agreed to eschew aggressive
warfare.
In his reply NJ. Tardieu is said to
have pounded the table and grown
red in the face, declaring it was use
less to prohibit big cannon, great
tanks and other implements of often
sive warfare because the scientists of
the various countries would then in
vent pocket cannon to replace the big
guns, and so on, and it was useless to
try to save money by abolishing GER
tain kinds of implements of war be-
cause the money would then be ex-
pended in developing other imple-
ments.
If this is the true situation in Eu-
rope then there is little use to talk
about limitation of armament, and all
the efforts of our own government for
disarmament have been in vain. Per-
haps the best thing to be gathered
from M. Tardieu's outburst is that the
people of Europe are not so anxious
for peace as some of our own verdant
pacifists would have us believe.
M. Tardieu's remedy is to make the
League of Nations a real super-state,
give it big offensive armament and
let it enforce peace. Under this meth
cd the United States, in case war
broke out between Italy and France,
would be obliged to accept the judg-
ment of the League as to which side
to join and then to furnish its full
quota of men, money and ammunition
for the picnic. The plan is of course
a very good one from M. Tardieu's
standpoint owing to the fact that
France, through its allies in Europe
dominates the League and the World
Court and would have the power and
pleasure of designating just which
side we should join in case of trouble.
It is to be hoped that some steps
for just and efficient limitation of Of
fensive armament can be taken at
Geneva but it is becoming more and
more doubtful whether anything of
the kind can be accomplished.
Maybe some of the European ma
tions could be induced to junk a few
rusty cannon if Uncle Sam will agree
to cancel the war debts, join the
League of Nations and furnish plenty
of men and money in case trouble
breaks out on the dark and bloody
continent.
