WORKING WOMEN RALLY Y TOMAYF RST STRIKES, DEMONSTRATIONS! 4 By ANNA DAMON, | May Day, 19380, finds capitalism in is United, States and the world over in a very | serious ¢ It is no longer able to provide a living for the workers. i In the’ United States there are over 7,000,+ | 000 wnemployed worke: of which 2,000,000 | are women, walking the streets daily in search for work and unable to find it. With their de- pendénts, thes: jobless millions make a total of at least 20,000,000 starving workers, thrown out of their homes into the streets; dependent on charity, crumbs thrown to them by the ruling class to‘keep them alive. This so-called country of “prosperity” has not ‘even got the meagre government tinemployment insurance that other capitalist countries like England and Germany have. The American working class, especially’ the Negro workers, among whom the "percentage of unemployed is almost double that among the white workers, is today facing misery and starvation imposed upon them by the capitalist boss class. The capitalists are attempting to solve the economic’ crisis at the expense. of the working class.» The conditions and standard of | of the’American workers are becoming wors daily,» Wages are being cut, hours being creased; the vicious stretch-out, speed-up s; tem is beirig used to the breaking point. Inthe United States we find the largest number of industrial women ‘workers in. the world. Over 2,000,000 are married women with far laving for the >$ to support ar- jean and CNeeta women receive even lower wages than: the white women and work under conditions of slavery.

The change of composition of the labor power in production has still another angle. While in the past women’s wages, especially married women’s, have been consideted more or léss as a supplementary income to’ the husbands’ low earnings in order to help cover the family ex- penses, today women’s wages frequently be- come the main incomé and the husbands’. part- time earnings and such benefits as he derives from private and fraternal organizations be- come the. supplementary income.
