4 | THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, AUGUST 1, 1927 WITH AN ORGANIZED WILL, THE WORKING WOMEN CAN FORCE THE BOSSES TO ACCEPT UNION CONDITIONS The strike of the two big firms, | Pechter and Messinger has ended; but | that does not mean that we baker | women must sit down in our homes, return to our daily house work and become obedient slaves. I say no! This must not be, because the battle that we have carried on with Pechter and Messinger for the last two months have taught us baker women a great deal. Many of us have suffered under the hands of paid gangster and have also learned how to battle against the bosses, how to go in t lines and how to carry battle suc- cessfully.

As soon as they dispersed one group, a new group appeared, a third and a} fourth one. Pechter then saw that this play was for the devil, and be- cause of this he was forced to accept the union agreement, (even though everybody knows that the settlement is not satisfactory) and stop the strike. Pechter was forced to bow, because the women appeared every- where to stop his scab work. From this battle, which the women carried on against the baker bosses, | Pechter and Messinger, it can be seen that the workingclass housewife | plays a big role in the labor move- ment. Our baker women should re- | member that our battle has not ye' Current Events = onan ended. We must not throw away our weapons, because we have to battle many other Pechters and Messi in our daily life. We women mus conquer all exploiters, because we feel them the most. Fight for Label. At the annual conference of the United Workingleass Housewives, held on the twenty-fifth of June, a resolu- tion was passed for carrying on agi- tation for the union label in Greater New York.

Women Must Rally. In the name of the Baker Union, Local 500, we print a thanks to all women councils for their active part in the past bakery strike and we hope that they will continue their agitation for the union label. The boss, Gott- fried says, “that he does not need the union label,’ therefore, we women must see to it that he settles with the union. Formerly his was a union-shop, therefore we must demand that our grocers do not keep Gottfried’s scab bread in their stores. Wg hope, that our work will be rewarded with suc- cess as at Pechter’s and Messinger’s. At first Pechter and Messinger were conceited and would not give in, but thanks to the public, wha demanded union labeled bread, they were forced to settle with the union. We, women must organizes in order to force the baker bosses to come across with the demands of the workers. ELLA ZELNICK. A baker woman.

And | these are the comrades who pretend to political farsightedness! I too | must, however, devote a few words to this. question. Everyone of us is able to understand that among the enorm- |ous arsenal of defensive weapons at the disposa] of the international la- ‘bor movement, the Anglo-Russian | Committee is only one among many.

The comrades of the Opposition advanced an urgent de- |mand that the Anglo-Russian Com< mittee should be dissolved. We re- | selves that the British section of the, Anglo-Russian Committee would help much during or before the war, but that in the given historical sit- uation, under the given circum-| | stances, it is better to avoid a rup- pression in view of the various other “yuptures” which we have to record.

After the war, their activities continued in the hopes of bulwarking their attack on the Bolshevik Revolution, * So today Karl Kautsky renews the attack on the Proletarian Dictatorship of the Russian workers and peasants, openly joining the forces of world imperial- ism in the new war against the Soviet Union.

The doddering Kautsky, who is spending most of his declining days in Vienna, did not hesitate to give his encouragement to the Armenian traitors. “Contrary to the opinion of some of my comrades, I believe that it is very probable that the Bolshevik dic- tatorship will not give way in any other manner than to ' a formidable uprising of popular masses. “T believe it would be false and dangerous to condemn such an uprising as counter-revolutionary.” He concludes by declaring that he would oppose any move “to call upon the social-democracy of the world to defend the Soviet Union.” Thus Kautsky, the renegade, descends to the level of the British imperialist agent who murdered the Soviet | ambassador, Voikov, at Warsaw, Poland; he associates himself with the creature who threw two bombs, wound- ing scores in a Workers’ Club in Leningrad; he becomes the ally of Chamberlain’s provocateurs who caused a railroad wreck near Minsk, that resulted in the death of the provincial head of the “G. P. U.” and one other comrade; he also has his hand upon the incendiary torch that seeks to destroy factories and workshops within the Soviet Union so laboriously built by emancipated la- bor in Russia during the present period of reconstruction, Concerning Kautsky’s role in the present struggle, as revealed in his article in Vorwaerts, Pravda, the central organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, points out that, in the face of the imminent war danger Kautsky has consented to become the mouthpiece, .to voice the wishes of the British reactionaries, especially when he alludes to the necessity of an uprising against “This viewpoint of Kautsky,” says the Pravda, “is the same viewpoint that is now held by the entire clique standing at the head of the German social-democracy. They are the ‘heroes’ of the Fourth of August, 1914, and are attempting to duplicate that role in the present “There are two tendencies taking place at the present time in the camp of the Second (Socialist) International. One of these tendencies is that of Otto Bauer, who stands for the defence of the Soviet Union, in words, and the other is that of Kautsky, who insists upon sup- port, with the deed of an insurrection, to the reactionary aims of the imperialists and their allies, against the Soviets. This is no more than a division of labor in the ranks of the social-democracy. “THe Russian mensheviks accept the phrases of Otto Bauer and the deeds of Kautsky. A united front, begin- ning with the British reactionaries (the Tories) on the one hand, down to the mensheviks, is being built. The | social-democracy is preparing for its next August In the quiet reading rooms and extensive libraries of the Marx-Engels Institute, at Moscow, however, there is being prepared material that is continually shattering jin the minds of the workers of the world, the social- democratic illusions fostered there by the traitors of the Second (Socialist) International, by the Kautskys, the Bernsteins, as well as the Scheidemanns in Germany, and others of their breed in all capitalist countries. * * * Here revolutionists like Edmund Peluso are ever busy upon this intellectual battlefield, the head of the Marx-Engles who exposed Bernstein’s effort to falsify Marxism.
