climbed from $4,000 to 1sa 900. OF
work no mention is made. And
bread? The monthly total of wages
has sunk from $4,000, 900 schillings
to S6,000.O00 schillings! Mass misery
strikes everywhere.
1t is one year now that our dead
lie in their msss-graves, that those
imprisoned languish in dungeons.
Fo~ one year we have felt the AFRO
gance of the victors.
Bnt we forget nothing, comrades!
The Gays OF Februar7. 1894. were
a penetrating lesson Then we not
only buried our dead but at the
same time we buried Illusions also
and errors. An entire epoch in the
history of the Austrian working
class movement was completed. The
g. eat mass of Austrian workers was
convinced that socialism could be
at aimed peacefully along the road
of bourgeois democracy. Democracy
was dynamited by the fascists. They
taught the Austrian working class
on the battlefield how democracy"
nurses dictatorship to brutal pre-
portions. No ether choice is pos
sibie than between the dictatorship
of fascism and the dictatorship Of
the prolesarlat! The fascist regime
has demonstrated how victorious
class deals with the conquered.
Truly. we shall meet like with like!
Between fascism and the working
class no cancellation is possible, only
implacablc struggle. Every step to-
ward ccncilia ion will be bitterly
fought by the working class. as will
every illusion thrown forward by
the reformists.
The first anniversary of the Feb
ruary revolt finds the revolutionary
Austrian workers united in their
decision to wage relentless strug-
gle against faEcism.
The prolsfarian parties, the
Schutzbund. tire youth organizs-
tions, and the Red Aid have organ
lied in revolutionary united front
to carry en- he battle against every
form of fascism.
Therefore. on this day of remem-
brsnce of our defeat. we feel neither
beaten nor dispirited, but rather
like those who are certain OF ~
preaching victory. Therefore, we re-

DURHAM, N. C-Not long ago a
friend got me to reading the Daily
Worker. I have noticed how work
erS from different places write
about the conditions and what they
are doing to better them. For long
time I have been a socialist and
active in unemployed work in
Durham. But for some months our
unemployed organization has been
inactive. I want to write now about
the present situation.
A little While ago certain Mr..
Vonn was employed to look after
mules and horses by the Durham
relief administration. He resigned
this job to become farm superin-
tendent for multi-millionaire,
Re- H, Wright of Durham. The Re-
lief Administration soon after
claimed it had no more relief ade-
quate to pay the usual rate. Mr.,
Vonn, working through the relief
officials. got them to arrange TO
send lis relief workers to grub new
ground for this millionaire at a dol
lar a day.
We were told to meet the truck
at the old post Office and we would
be driven out to grub the new
ground. About IS or 20 of us met
there that morning. The workers
got to grumbling among themselves
about having TO grub new ground
for a millionaire at a dollar a day,
Some one said: I'VE should not be
forced to work for a millionaire at
a dollar a day. The word Just
kept going around. The more they
thought the more determined the
whole bunch IVES rot to do it. So
Wien the truck came no che would
go.
Because I have a record for or
ganizipg the unemployed, the relief
officials blamed me with this and
are discriminating against me. They
have also refused to give coal, as

When he got out Of the hospital
he went to a country home for
eight months. The conditions there
were very bad. He had to work as

This immigrant, from far-away
Roumania, has seen eight presidents

is useless to go back to his native

who wanted him to go back to

a citizen, but I have worked here
for thirty years. Therefore, I have

Southern Prisoner
Appeals for Aid

The following are extracts Of a
letter received from a class-war
prisoner in Birmingham, Ala.
Il am Fred Walker confined now
to the city jail Of this city, and
also on the chain gang for two
months. have been on the hard
est gang this city got and with the
meanest or dirtiest guards they
have.
In Alabama they put hell on a
Negro, and when they find him put
ling up a fight for freedom. they
give him hell, so that is what I
am catching.
i am sick, down with rheumatism
and lumbago, and this hard job
got at inhuman work will soon kill
me. So send some money down
here and help me get out of this
tough gang.
The guard had me beat up lest
week for nothing. SO write me at
once and just see what you can all
do at once.
This comrade is serving six
months on the chain gang. In ad-
dition to that he will have to pay
500 fine in order to gain his free
dom. If he is to serve out his SEN
tence. it would mean an additional
200 days added to his sentence.
The international Labor Defense
has put this comrade on their re-
lief role, and have sent him some
money. They are appealing Tor
fumes to free this comrsde and
combat the general reign Of terror
now raging in Alabama.

But the local organizations, al
though they were militant. acted
quite weakly because they were not
headed by leadership that was
armed with a clear understanding
of the relationship of class forces.
Great confusion exists even amongst
the most militant mattresses because
they see beyond their petty bosses,
but not with clarity, and do not have
any hatred against their boss who
works with them and is eeonomi-
oally almost as bad off as they are,
in fact many are right on the verge
of ruin. This confusion was greatly
offset by the resolute position taken
by the other unions.
This confusion can be overcome
by 2 conscious mass education. mass
meetings, and a clear class program
which will create a firm revolution
airy consciousness which the small
business elements will be forced to
cater to. What We failed to do be-
fore and at the time of the strike
we should do now. We must make
them understand that correct tao
tics are for the workers to remain
firm and to go forward in their
fight against poor conditions which
means resisting all attempts of the
amall business men TO pass on their
burdens caused bv the capitalists on
to the backs of the workers and at
the same time helping lead these
business elements into fight
against capitalism, for unemploy-
ment insurance, against war and
faseism.

THE March issue Of the Working
Woman, which is a special In
ternstional Women's Day issue. will
contain the names Of the winners
Of the recent Working Woman prize
letter contest. The first and sec
ond prize letters will be printed.
Women wrote from every corner OF
the country telling what they would
do if their husbands would not let
them attend working class meet
ings. Answers came from farm
women, from women in the shops,
as we'll as in the home, working
clags women and professionals. Let
tiers we're written on the basis Of
personal experience, homely, prac-
teal letters-others attempted 10
give the social and political basis
to tbs husbands attitude toward his
wife. Many of thsm told Of hus-
bands who had finally been won
around to the point of view that it
is duty Of a class conscious
worker TO involve his wife in ac-
Invites for the ostterment Of the
conditions of her class.
ONE woman wrote: The sanctity
v and peace of the home is the
most important thing Of all. If you
love your husband, you will please
him, no matter what he requires. "
The majority of the women, how
ever, were of the opinion that
rather than have such peace
where the wife submits to the ideas
Of her backward husband, they
would rather have no peace. other
women told how when the meeting
night came along, despite their hus-
bands protests, they simply went.
One woman said she had to bring
the meetings to her house to con-
vince her husband that married
women with children had the right
to take their places in the fighting
ranks Of their class. There were
many schemes as to how to bring
the backward husband to an I'M
Outstanding of woman's role in the
class struggle. One woman read her
husband sentences and paragraphs
out of Lenin on the woman ques-
ton. He finally admitted he "had
never seen it that way"
EsIUE must beware of the signs of
" fascism," wrote one woman.
The oppression Of women is typical
Of fascism, she said. Fascism makes
a wide propaganda that women's
activity must be confined to the
home, to child bearing, The nus
band who refuses to let his wife
participate in working class activ-
ity is the victim Of fascist theology.
The letters show that the Work
Ing Woman hit upon q very tender
SPOT in the personal attitudes of
many men toward their wives. The
letters, If compiled. would make a
very vivid document bespeaking the
growing demand of women to be
organized to fight for their eco
nomic and political rights. THE

band. In the kitchen" said an
ether, eve grow old before our time,
without having done anything for
ourselves
The lstters show how very ripe
is this period for the organization
of women. They lay task upon
every class-conscious woman, as
well as man. They bring the task
of bringing into the ranks of the
unions, the Unemployed Council,
the Communist Party, the thou
sands Of women whose lives have
taught them, the only way out for
them is through greater working

United Action Forged by Heroic February Struggle in Austria

Meeting in general conference,
the representatives of the Commu
unist Party of Austria, the Revo-
Iutiorary- Socialists, the Schultz
bund, the Independent Trade
Unions, the Young Communist
League and the Socialist Youth.
as well as the delegates from
sport organizs tions and the Aus
trian Red Aid, resolved to carry
through a program Of united ac-
items in connection with the anni-
versary of the February struggles.
The conference decided to issue
the following appeal to the Aus
trisn proletariat, to the inter-
national working class, and to the
parties and sections of the Second
and Third International
To the workers and toilers of
Austria!
One year has elapsed since the
February struggles. One yea since
the whole world hung on the thun-
der of cannon roaring out of red
Vienna to the workers Of all ma
tions. And just as the days of the
Paris Commune Of 1871 remain I'M
forgotten in memory of the working
class, so the struggle Of the Schultz
hund in 1884 is now part of the
history Of the international prole-
tariat The battle ended in de-
feat, out CT which the red flag, now
more than ever red with spilled
blood, few high in honor.
Much was lost by the Austrian
workers during those days; Freedom
and their civil rights, strength and
organization. A great deal, how
ever, was preserved: Our proleta-
rian honor, our proud defiance, our
faith in socialism,

Pay Cut so Percent
On Relief Job
By a Worker CORRESPONDENT

NEW ORLEANS, La-On the re-
lief project at 205 Chartres Street
the Negro women make quilts for
121a cents an hour, working from
6 a. m. till 2 p. m. with fifteen
minutes for lunch.
One crew Of a hundred have to
put out forty quilts, sewing by hand,
in the eight hours that they are
required to STAY on the job.
The rate Of pay on these Jobs
has been reduced from s2.1o a day
to 81. Even those who have not
had their monthly budgets reduced
because they get more days have
had their expenses raised. About
81 per cent of the workers have to
spend fourteen cents a day on car
fare. ALI the relief projects in this
city are arranged so that most of
the workers have to spend carfare.
1t seems as if the relief work is run
for the benefit Of the Public Utili-
ties as they get the biggest part of
the relief money.

Victory Against

LAS VEGAS, New, Nov 12. cJP)-
District Judge James Dysart today
had decided against the Associated
Press in lawsuits filed by the news
agency against two Nevada daily
newspapers.
The newspapers we're the Las
Vegas journal and Tonopah
Tlmes-Bonanza. The dispute arose
over designations from the news
agency which we're filed by the de-
fe.1dant publishers.
A general demurrer filed by at
torney Charles Lee Hersey, for the
two dailies, was sustained by the
court. The decision said in part:
Defendant contends that the
complaint does not state a cause of
action, for the reason that the con-
tract as alleged lacks mutually, and
for the further reason that the final
power Of determining defendants S
rights under the contract is left ex-
clusively to the judgment of the
board Of directors of the plaintiff
corporation. and therefore GUSTS the
courts of jurisdiction. and this there
fore contrary to public policy.
