' DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 1929 wage Three London Police Raid Communist Papers and Printers for Anti- Imperialist Articles HUNTING ‘REDS’ FOR INFLUENCE ON ELECTIONS Try to Find C Comintern | Orders on India (Wireless By “Inprecorr”) LONDON, March 8.—The police | are apparently seeking grounds for| the prosecution of Communists for agitation for Indian independence | and publication of the program of | the Communist International. De- tectives have repeatedly visited the| employes of the Workers Life, en-| quiring the name of the author of an article charging that the British authorities in India committed pro- vocations against the Bombay strik- ers. Raid Printers. The police have also visited the directors of the Modern Books, pub- | lishers of the Comintern program, and the printers who worked on it. The government is obviously at- tempting to link up Communist anti-imperialist activities with Com- intern instructions thus providing a new Red Scare as an election stunt, | designed to serve the double pur- pose of, first, justifying the inter- vention in Afghanistan, as a safe- guard against “Moscow propagan- da” in India, and secondly, to dis- credit labor’s intention to resume relations with the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. Belgian Communist Deputy Hits Clearing of Imperialist Tool BRUSSELS, March 8.—Only the Communist delegate in the Belgian chamber of deputies protested against the whitewashing report wheih Premier Jasper introduced about the secret military treaty be- tween France and Belgium to in- vade Germany and Holland, The premier’s report followed the} line already worked out by the Belgian secret service agent, Franck, who recently “confessed” that he forged the treaty at the command of the German secret service. The indignation which has swept) over the masses of not only German and Dutch workers, but also the! working class of Belgium and France over the revelations and the| clumsy attempt to excuse the treaty on the word of a Belgian spy, con- tinues unabatted. Tokio Police Attack Students Honoring Slain Labor Deputy TOKIO, March 8,—Police attacked and broke up a parade of 100 stu- dents of the Tokio Imperial Uni- versity, who paraded around the university hospital singing revolu- tionary songs while doctors were examining the body of Senji Yama- mota, workers’ deputy in the Diet, killed two days ago by a chauvinist assassin. Gallacher, British Communist, Arrested LONDON, March 8.—The yellow reformists and members of parlia- ment, Arthur Henderson and John Whaetley, have called in the police to dispose.of Communist hecklers at a recent meeting, thirteer® Commu- nists being arrested, including Wil- liam Gallacher, a prominent Com- munist leader. All were charged with “acting in a disorderly manner” and Gallacher was further charged with “obstruct- ing two constables in the execution of their duty,” their duty being to take Guy Alfred, an “anti-parlia- mentary Communist,” so-called, to the police station. This charge is brought under the “Crimes Act” of 1871. Soviet Ice-Breaker — Icebound in Baltic BERLIN, March 8 (UP). — The Russian icebreaker Truver, due at Kiel today, sent an S. 0.

Rumania Communist Leader Near Death from Hunger Strike (Cable to I, L. D. News Service) BUCHAREST, Rumania, March 8—The leader of the Communist Party of Rumania, Nobrogheanu- Gerea, who has been sentenced to 8 years in prison by the military courts, is near death after a hunger strike which has con- tinued since Jan. 26, Gorea stated when brought be- fore the courts that he would not eat until he was either freed or until he died. Gerea has been hunger striking as a_ protest against the Rumanian white ter- yor and against the persecution of workers and their organiza- tions. Gerea is near death.

Is Great Eve By SONIA CROLL Note—The writer has just re- |turned from a three years’ stay in |the Soviet Union and this article is| based upon observations made at International Women’s Day meet- ings. ar eke * International Women’s Day in the Soviet Union is celebrated by hun- dreds and hundreds of thousands of women, A real holiday spirit pre- vails. And a spirit also of pride| which comes with achievement, for International Women’s Day in the| Soviet Union is made the occasion| for thousands of women graduat- ing from one or another of the special courses or schools provided to raise their cultural and political Hundreds of women are pro-| moted to more responsible and more skilled jobs. Hundreds of hitherto completely illiterate women make their first speeches or conduct their first large public meetings. Nur-| series, kindergardens, communal living quarters and dining rooms are opened, machine-equipped laun- dries, In short, International Wom- en’s Day in Russia is the occasion for putting into practice the behest of Lenin that “every cook must learn how to administer the govern-| | ment.” To achieve this under the dic- | tatorship of the proletariat. and to emancipate women from the petty enslaving household drudgery, it is necessary to build those institutions | which’ will liberate her from them and leave the woman free to take| her place in society as an equal. Fill Club Rooms, Theatres. Every factory and mill, every en- terprise in the Soviet Union has its club room, or if it is too small, sha.es one with a nearby institu- tion. These as well as all the thea- tres are filled to overflowing with women and their families on Inter- national Women’s Day. In the first years of the revolu- tion International Womer.’s Day was | celebrated mostly by recognizing | women as an equal, by acts designed | to encourage and stimulate the masses of toiling women to the realization that they were now free| and no longer the slaves or play-| things of their menfolk; that they] were no longer bound and oppressed by feudal and capitalist customs and | traditions. They had to be aroused and equipped to utilize the freedom! they had won struggling side-by- side with their class brothers of the proletariat and poor peasantry} against their common capitalist enemy. Cultural, Political Education. But now it is no longer sw much a question of arousing the mass of toiling women to the consciousness | of and desire to utilize their new status of equality, but a problem of | finding ways and means to equip them to raise their cultural and political qualifications for participa-| tion in all spheres of life in the} Soviet Union. | Unlike capitalist parties and gov-| e: iments, the All-Russian Commu- nist Party and the Soviet Govern- ment were not content with merely passing laws giving woman equal suffrage, The Soviet Government not only threw open the doors of all economic, political and social insti- tutions to the women of the toiling classes, but took concrete measures to enable this hitherto most back- ward and suppressed section of the Russian people to make use of these privileges for themselves and for the new free socialist society. Special Women’s Department. Just as soon (a few months after the October Revolution, early in 1918) as the All-Russian Communist Party realized to what a great ex- tent the old order had held back and prevented women from developing their mental and physical capacities and how this illiteracy prevented BLADDER PAINS | YOU CAN AVOID ins—suffered needlessly—in blad- Many y a der and kidneys—their passages and outlets —can be safely relieved with India’s ancient remedy—Santal ek Good also for sore membranes, an aid to OPAL Gatarth and to better control “Saga? of functions.

Midy, the originator. |t.2 broad masses of women |trained and drawn of constructing the only society in| Hee tight CP nt in U.S.S.R from benefiting by the new proletarian attitude toward them and from lend- ing a hand in the building of the |mew order, the Communist Party es- tablished a Department for Work Among Women. This department assists the working and peasant woman to become literate so that she may more quickly help to build the new life. Through this depart- ment the Party teaches the toiling woman to herself build those insti- tutions which will liberate her from petty household drudgery. This de- partment for work among women, Lenin said, will lead to the com- plete eradication of the old life. Today there is no sphere of econ- omic, social or political life i 5 |which women do not actively par- ticipate and play a leading role. In the Soviets, in the trade unions, in the co-operatives and in the Com- munist Party itself, the number of |women members, as well as those | holding responsible positions, is con- stantly growing. This is also true of the number of skilled women workers in all industries, trades and professions except in those where the employment of women is for- bidden on account of health and welfare considerations, such as un- derground mining, etc. Women in Trade Schools. This progress is achieved thru raising the cultural and _ political Jevel of tens of thousands of wom- en yearly; thru the trade and pro-| fessional schools which must admit a definite percentage of women. This percentage is agreed upon by the workers thru the trade inion bodies in the industry involved; thru. women delegate meetings, where women elected by their fel- low working and peasant women receive an elementary political train- ing and then enter the various Sov- iet trade union and cooperative or- ganizations as “practicants.” The best and most developed of these! women are finally drawn into the ranks of the Communist Party. Thus the women are themselves which complete equality can really |be achieved—a Communist society.! The women of Soviet Russia won| the right and opportunity to. make themselves equal members of soci- lety thru fighting on the barricades |side by side with their proletarian brothers. They know from bitter experience in two revolutions that the old czarist and capitalist oppres- sors did not give up their rule with-| out an armed uprising of the op- pressed people. gle against the united attack of the mighty forces of world imperialism during the terrible years of famine and civil war. They know that as long as capitalism exists outside of | Russia, their fight for the right |to build a society where there will |be no oppressed, no inequality, no exploitation of man by man is not yet finished. In the resolutions adopted at the International Wom- en’s Day meetings in Soviet Russia it is never forgotten to call ‘upon the exploited workers and peasants throughout the world and to the women especially to follow the ex- ample set by the toilers of Russia, to take power into their own hands. Not a meeting adjourns without calling upon the world proletariat and peasantry to be on guard |against the war toward which the ‘imperialists are heading. SMITH {SAYS WON’T RUN.

(By Mail). —The grain collections between July 1, 1928, and February 1, 1929. throughout the U.S. S. R. ‘amounted jte 6,446,000 tons, or 66 per cent of |the program for the year, against |6,418,000 tons for the same period last year. In January, 1929, the jgrain collectidns declined, owing to unfavorable weather conditions |which madg it difficult to bring grain to the storing points. The press points out that this year the grain collection campaign is being carried out without resort- ing to extraordinary measures, and, in view of the bad crop in some dis- tricts, of Ukraine and Northern Caucasus, considers the general re- sults of the campaign for seven months as satisfactory. In the opinion of authoritative circles the abundance of grain in |Siberia, Kazakstan and Volga re- | gions, where the collection campaign has not yet fully developed, creates good conditions for the full realiza- tion of the yearly plan. Official Repott Says British-Indian Labor | Lives Most Miserably LONDON, March 8.—The British- |Indian government has published a |book entitled “India, 1927-28,” which though disguising to the ut- most the conditions of the masses | under British imperialism, is foreed ito admit in veiled language that |these conditions could hardly be worse. In part it says: “The economi¢ conditions under which large sections ot the popula- tion, rural and urban, of the country have to live, are ‘often as bad as they can be. Millions of agricul- tural laborers live on the very mar- | gin of subsistence.” In comment on housing conditions in Bombay, where 800 out of every 1,000 babies die in infancy, the dwellings of the poorest paid work- ers are constructed out of “a few scraps of dirty sacking, eked out by the sides of kerosene tins.” And these conditions are those under which half the population of the STAR CASINO British’ empire exist, George Weiss contributes an excel- lent poem, “San Quentin.” ‘There are many striking photographs in the March issue and the usual fea+ |tures are contained in it.
