COMRADE VOIKOFF A REVOLUTIONIST Comrade Voikoff, Soviet minister to Poland was shot to death by a czarist plotter in Poland. Com- rade Voikoff was walking to the railroad station in Warsaw (capital of Poland) with Comrade A. P. Rosengolz, when the murderer ran up and emptied his revolver into the body of the representative of the Russian workers. Comrade M. Voikoff was a revolutionary fighter who had given his whole life to the cause of the workers. He took part in the gréat Russian trevolu- tion and later occupied high posts in the Workers’ Government. In 1924 he was named minister to Poland. , It is quite clear that this act is a result of a united campaign of attack on the Workers’ Soviet Government by their, as well as our enemies, the capitalists powers led by England and America. The British government is directly responsible for the murder of our comrade because they have given money, incited and protected these assassins. The workers all over the world, but especially the Polish and Russian workers are wild with anger over the murder of their comrade. Big protest meet- ings are being held all ‘over the world. We, the workers’ children, of America, also protest with all our might against the murder of Comrade Voikodff which we see as a part of: the big attack against the Soviet Union. We, at all times stand ready to support and defend the only workers’ government. “Eipiedliztes— Patriarch. Cruel in his oncoming impotence He would usurp his patriarchal powers In bulldozing those—his children— In sadistic fashion To give wild outlet To a stagnant passion. Priest. Solemn as a still-life there he stands Talking in a monody of tone Instilling love of peace in time of peace— But soon his voice is changed to higher note-— He now exhorts his fellow-men to tote A gun and shoot the enemy “Tt matters not who e’er they be.” Profiteer. With one hand he pulls the strings of government; The other rests upon his caponed paunch, A well-contented leer upon his face. Knowing naught of human sorrows and emotions He spends his energy amassing fortunes To be gamed with—. The world is his—Caesar’s— Z Unromantic Caesar’s—And ‘he laughs— (And well may he) For Caesar had to fight to gain his lands By arming men in legions and in bands; While he ’thout e’en a military cape Rules the world by pulling ticker-tape.

Sans Me eas Pioneers of America and Farmers’ Chiidren a st | Organizing the Chinese Workers A typical scene in the Forcign Concessivus at Hankow. (Continued from page 6) The League of Women’s Rights is a middle-class organization, not touching the workers or the peas- ants, with a membership of 200 to 300 at Canton. The Organization of Women Revolutionaries is said to be a sort of rival of the League of Women’s Rights and has 50 members. The Women’s Freedom League, which receives help from the Kuomintang (the People’s National Party), has 35,000 members, of whom 13,000 are in Canton. Of the members 40 per cent are students, 45 per cent workers and 15 per cent veasants. They have 29 circles in the town of Canton and 26 clubs in the province. They have held their first congress ~-which is claimed to be the first women’s con- gress to be held in China—at which 24 delegates represented 12 districts all over the province of Kwangtung. At this congress a resolution was passed urging the formation of a women's organiza- tion fer all China. They have also held three clec- tions for their executive committee, which changes every six months. A monthly paper is published in Chinese called the “Ray.” The Women’s Freedom League claim that they have aroused much interest among the workers, as they were the first body to oceupy themselves with questions affecting working women. They realize how much there is to be done, how far behind the Chinese women are in education, customs, and their mode of life. Some organization, no doubt of a political nature, is being established in all girls’ schools. There are organizations "" *2minists.in several provinces of China; at ++ Peking there is a body, calling itself the Central Organization of All Women’s Organiza- tions in China, which is nearly dead.
