First, it applies for and receives a temporary injunction against the New York Joint Board through an application which reads like the indictments drawn up by the department of justice experts against wartime radicals. The right wing has made a deeper unity with the government agencies and bosses.

The attempt to blackmail and intimidate class war prisoners is of the same character. Every day brings additional proof that the left wing in the trade unions is fighting against forces so corrupt that they, are poisoning the whole labor movement, forces that are doing the dirty work for the bosses and the government formerly done by private detective agencies and department of justice agents. To support the left wing in this struggle is the plain duty of every worker who is for trade unions free from boss control. International Women’s Day The DAILY WORKER, on International Women’s Day, greets the host of women who are carrying on the class struggle against difficulties which the development of capitalist society has made more for them than for their husbands, fathers and} brothers. The first task of the women of our party, the most conscious section of the working class women in America, is to interest, organize and bring into the trade unions, housewives’ leagues, trade union auxiliaries and other working class organizations, the women of the masses who as yet take little part in the strug- gles of the workers. In the United States where the women of the working class are still susceptible to the propaganda of the ruling class agencies and as a whole take but little part in the labor and revolutionary movement, careful but energetic Communist work among them is doubly necessary. International Women’s Day should mark the beginning of a new period of fruitful activity in this important field. No better example of the concrete application of the Com- munist program for women can be had than the freeing of women by the Russian revolution. This and the advance of women in revolutionary China should be brought to the attention of Ameri- can working women on International Women’s Day to show them that freedom for women, as for men, comes only through struggle De Valera and Irish Freedom Mr. Eamon De Valera, president of a faction of the once powerful Sinn Fein party of Ireland, arrived here last Saturday to testify in a suit between the Free State government and Irish republicans over the goodly sum of $2,500,000 which was con- tributed to the republican cause by Irish republican sympathizers | but which miraculously escaped being spent before a gang of Bets column mishaps since it first saw light of day in The DAILY WORK- ER, but as far as I can recollect, the doubt the wisdom of dwelling on this | theme.

The fact is that the DeValera wing and the opposition faction of the for- mer republican party of Ireland are not * revolutionists. They are con- fining their activities to mouthings against the Free State government, and completely ignoring the needs of the workers and "peasants as well as the anti-imperialist movement on a world scale that is sapping the foundations on which the British em- pire is built. A revolutionary na tionalist movement in Ireland would hail the Chinese struggle, it would support Mexico and Nicaragua against American imperialism and it would make common cause with the land.

Mr. De Valera was greeted at the dock by a horde of law- yers, priests and politicians. He rode up Broadway at the head of a procession and was photographed shaking hands with Mayor “Jimmy” Walker, who knows that more votes can sometimes be made with a clasp of the hand than with a thousand wags of the tongue. ' As Mr. De Valera gallantly stood before the cameras and the beaming eyes of stalwart and friendly members of the Bomb Squad, he might have allowed his memory to step back a few years to the time when he arrived here during the Black and Tan war. The mayor's office was not then so friendly. The occupant left by a fire escape lest he might offend the British government by receiving De Valera and lest he might offend the Lrish voters by refusing to receive him. Nothing has changed since then ex- cept the situation in Ireland and De Valera. At that time the exigencies of politics forced Mr. De Valera to be a “revolutionist.” Today, he is the mildest of parliamentarians because a sufficient body of middle class opinion in Ireland favors such a course and De Valera is as obedient to the middle class will as a eunuch is to the Bey of Algiers. Mr. De Valera refuses to enter the Irish parliament in Dub- lin because of the oath of allegiance requirement. Can anybody imagine James Connolly, a real revolutionist, refusing to take a seat in parliament for the same reason? Connolly would have broken an oath taken under duress with as much alacrity as he would crack King George’s neck. Connolly would have entered parliament to sound the message of revolt to the four corners of Jreland. De Valera trims, evades, dodges and refuses to say what policy he has in mind that would benefit the Irish masses. He strains at the Free State gnat and swallows the capitalist camel.

This week Gorovaja Shalton granted a diploma to the first woman marine architect. Soviet Russia has established the following rules regard- ing women in industry: the prohibition of night work, and overtime, motherhood protection and care, and exemption from taxation. In America we find on the contrary that while women are praised by Fourth of July orators as the “salt of the earth” and the “foundation of the republic,” these words of flattery are simply « sop thrown to them in order to keep them from protesting against their conditions. America yives women flattery and a 54-hour week, soft words and starvation wages. The DAILY WORKER has eulisted itself in the cause of the women workers, for the organization of the unorganized women workers, for the passage of social legislation for women in industry and the home, for the removal of all dis- crimination against women workers, for the establishment of the same basis of equality in society for women workers which is found in but one country today, that is Soviet Russia, The DAILY WORKER has thus won itself the staunch- est loyalty and devotion of women throughout the country.
