INTERNATIONAL WOman's Day
4 March 81, must this year be a
most intensive, determined and ef-
fective mobilization of the women
against fascism and war, and the
capitalist system that brings them
into being.
War is at the gates. This morn
ingS paper says that Mussolini has
modified $4,000 troops against
Abyssinia. Japan hampers with Outer
Mongolia. creeping nearer and
nearer to the borders Of the Soviet
Union, doing its best to provoke the
Soviet Union into war. The Soviet
Union. pursuing an answering
peace policy. will not be provoked
to an attack. but will defend its
Soviet garden against the war
mongers. No matter where the first
spark Of war flames, it will soon be-
come an attack Of all the imperial
lists upon the workers fatherland.
What is there to be done to
" awaken the consciousness Of all
women that they must, as Lenin has
said, organize against wav before
war breaks outl Too many people
do not quite believe that the war
DANGER" means that blood, horror,
death. is ready TO pounce any day
uron millions of workers throughout
the world. If they did, they could
not 90 about their homework, their
work in the shops quietly They
would speak constantly to all work
ers. they would gather their shop
mates, the housewives together into
meetings ard organize them into
committees to agitate and organize
in the neighborhoods and shops
against war. They would issue leaf
lets. plan mass meetings. They would
watch every move Of the war mon
gers and be ever on guard.
IN the PREPARATIONS for Interna-
l tional Womans Day, which was
initiated by Clara zatkin, who was
above all things a fighter against
imperialist war. women must see
how many anti-war committees they
can organize, They must comb"t
the war propaganda Of Hearst and
others in their own homes-make
of their sons and daughters class
conscious anti-war fighters. Then if
the bosses dare to ask the workers
to fight against their brothers, the
organized workers will know that
there is no question but that they
must direct their guns against the
boss class which sent them into war.
THE Women's Committee Of the
1 American League Against War
and Fascism. 213 Fourth Avenue.
New York. N. Y, has just published
in English. the Manifesto of the
international Women's Congress
Against War and Fascism." the
document adopted unanimously by
the women attending the Congress
in Paris August 4. 5. 6. 1884. 1t sells
for three cents, and should be read
widely. One Of the things it says is.
1--WE, the women. see humanity
threatened by an unprecedented
calamity. 1t is our duty to oppose it.
to place ourselves against it. This is
our mission. We call on all women
throughout the world, all organiza-
tions which oppose fascism and war
and invite them to join without de-
lay in the ranks of the fighters for
a great and just cause"

Win Reduction i'm
Water Rates
BY a Farmer Correspondent

BRISTOL, S. D.-The workers
here, by using mass pressure, forced
the City Council to reduce their
water rent and permit them to work
out their past due rent.
Previously. the users of drinking
water he'd been compelled to pay
the entire cost, Of not only pumping
drinking water, but also the cost
of paying fire protection to those
who own the buildings. Now the
workers only pay for the water they
use at the rate of five cents per
hundred gallons. This will mean
ten to twenty cents per month in
stead Of one dollar as it was before.
The city had plenty of money to
decorate the main street with COL
ored lights at Christmas time to
help the merchants sell their wares,
but felt unable to furnish a drink
Of water to the children of the I'M
employed workers This is the usual
thing under the profit system
everything for the bosses the work
ers are only cattle to be exploited.
We workers must change this the
same way as the workers in the
Soviet Union did and make this
country truly a country Of, by and
for the workers and the poor farm
ers.

Defense Claims Innocence
The hearings, as IN the first
group held in March and earlier
this month, will be fact-finding
sessions, the government attempt
ing to show by competent evidence
that the violations charged actual
ly occurred. Respondents in the
cases have the privilege OF intro
ducing evidence. questioning wit
nesses and otherwise taking the
opportunity Of presenting their
cases for the record. No decision is
reached at the hearings. The for
NAL record is prepared by a court
stenographer and forwarded to
Secretary Of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace for final action. the ma
tional citrus market agreement
providing him with power to re-
woke or reissue licenses Of the res
pondents.
"A. w. Cameron. defense counsel
in the earlier cases. has asserted
that his clienta purchasers and
packers Of citrus fruits, have sold
their products outright to truck
drivers. that his clients knew no
thing Of the ultimate destira ions
Of the trucks and that therefore
his clients vVre not shippers. but
merely statesmen who sold their
wares to any customer who might
desire to purchase the fruit. II is
expected that a similar defense
will be offered for respondents in
the coming hearings.
No denial has been made where
fruit complained of as being illegal
by the government was actually
shipped in a railway freight a
the respondents accepting the
charges and virtually admitting
they were the shippers. Counsel's
profession of his clients lack Of
knowledge as to what disposition
their customers made Of the fruit
after purchasing it referred TO
