In the summer Of 1880,
the section for housemaids at the
labor exchange ceased to exist.
The industrialization of the coun-
try had caught up the women in
its course. They were given any
number of recommendations to
get work as housemaids, but they
refused all of Them"

ANSWERED BY ROSE KAMINSKY
Dollfuss is a fascist who fought against
the courageous Austrian workers and with
the help of the Socialist leaders won.
Mussolini is an Italian fascist who or
ganized dictatorship in Italy and at
moments notice is ready to kill any
worker who fights for his rights or iber
ties.
Hitler is German fascist who day by
day is killing thousands upon thousands
Of rebellious workers
The three countries in which fascism
exists are Germany, led by Hitler; Italy
by Mussolini; and Austria by Dullfuss.
The Communist Party and its organiza-
tons are the real fighters against fascism.
QUESTION ON RELIGION
The children of the Soviet Union can be
brought to church by their parents, il
their parents so wish. However, there is
no church, school or religious education
for them to attend. They are taught
science in school instead of religion, so
that they grow up with clear scientific
minds. Then when they are 10 or so,
they can embrace religion If they want
to then.
