Women Advance in Vi In the national districts and re- publics of the Soviet Union, where not long ago women were still at the level of slaves, and served as articles of purchase and sale, the enfranhisement of women is ad- vancing with gigantic strides. | Among the Khirgiz, 2,000 women were appointed members of the village soviets in 1933, comprising 30 per cent of the entire member- | ship of the village soviets, The former poor peasant woman Kotchevnitsa Tugunbaeva actually occupies the post of assistant chair- man of the Central Executive Com- mittee of Khirgiz. A large number | of other women occupy equally re- | sponsible positions. In 1930, no more than 427 women worked in the enterprises of Tadjikistan, | while in 1933 there were 7,150, In | Tadjik industry there were 2,300 | women shock brigaders, and on the | collective farms there were 2,500. The whole Soviet is summing up these data of victory for women |in articles on International Pro- letarian Women’s Day. “Pravda,” organ of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, gives a number of examples of the participation of women in socialist construction: It says: “The collective farm as a system has awakened to new life many Millions of the masses of women of the nationalities of Middle Asia, Kazakstan, Transcaucasia, the Tar- tar republic, Bashkir, Buriatomon- golia and the far nortn—women who until recently were slaves, wearing the veil, bought and sold as brides, locked up in harems, etc. Equal Rights and Powers “The women workers, the women collective farmers, are getting a firm footing.

This is bril- | liantly displayed by the heroic fights | of the Austrian workers and their | Wives on the barricades of Florids- dorf, “This was also displayed by the proletarians of Paris in the struggle against the fascists and the police| ot France; by the unemploye women of Britain, participants in the Hunger Marches, by the Polish women weavers, and the Spanish peasant women, “Are all these not vivid signs that ‘the idea of storming capitalism is ripening in the minds of the mil- lions of the masses of working women’?” Concluding the article, Prayda writes: “Against the bloody fascist regime! For Soviet rule! Such have been the slogans of the wide masses of the working women of all capi- talist countries, demonstrating on March 8 their readiness to fight. “For the fulfilment of the na- tional economic plan, for the mas- tering of technique, for the model carrying out of the spring sowing, for a cultural, well-to-do life—such are the slogans of the working women and the women workers of the collective farms of the Soviet Union, guided by the great party of Lenin and Stalin, for March 8. “Long live the international Com- munist Women’s Day!” An editorial in “Izvestia,” organ of the Soviet Government, em- Pphasizes the great difference in principle between the proletarian women’s movement and the “upper class” “feminist” movement of the Nationalistic and Jingoist Speakers in Demagogic Mock Trial of Hitler Anti-Semitism at Madison Square Garden Cahan, Matthew Woll, American Legionnaire Among Speakers By EDWIN ROLFE NEW YORK.— Twenty thousand le filled Madison Square Gar- Wednesday night to witness a mock trial held under the auspices of the American Jewish Congress, and autonomy exists for all na- tional minorities, The presence on the same plat- form of Abe Cahan, representing the Socialist Party, and the worst reactionary and fascist elements in the United States—including | that we love our neighbor as our- | selves...” | And “piously,” pouring out verbal | | love indiscriminately in great | swathes, the mockery of this meet- | | ing continued to its ironic and dem- | | Edward J.

NEW YORK.—Seven Negro and white workers under the leadership of the League of Struggle for Ne- gro Rights, were arrested last night while picketing the bus transfer sta- tion of the Fifth Ave. Coach Com- pany at 125th St, and Seventh Ave., in protest against the company’s policy of discrimination against Ne- gro workers. The case was dismissed by Judge Grodsky when it cathe up last night at the Fifty-fourth St. night court. Of the 1,400 drivers and con- ductors employed by the company, not one is a Negro. President Fred- erick P, Wood stated to a delegation that “our policy has been not to hire Negroes and we will not change our policy.” The L. S. N. R. urges all work- ers’ organizations to protest against the discriminating policy and poor working dpnditions for the bus workers and the arrest. They issued a call for all unemployed workers to continue picketing the Fifth Ave. Coach Company at 605 West 132nd St., all next week and to report for picket duty at the L. S. N. R. office, 119 West 135th St. Citizen Given Right to Lynch Negroes By Miss. Senate (Continued from Page 1) vented the sheriff from deputizing the girl’s father for the job, as had been previously arranged. Senator Collins told the Senate that the father had “consented with reluc- tance to let the law take its course.” Passage of the bill adds an- other hideous chapter to a case already bristling with brutality and flagrant violation of every constitutional right of the Negro masses. The three youths, Ernest McGhee, 23, Johnny Jones, 23, and Isaac Howard, 25, accused of hol statistics, of previous indictments, exposing the commercialism and ex- ploitation of football teams for the financial purposes of respective col- leges. They especially attacked Notre Dame and Southern California. The last time they drew their swords in the gentlemanly brainy sport com- monly called “Statistic making” they ran a list of figures of prices paid football players that would make any businessman roll his lustful tongue. The professors stated, “Commer- cial football is one symptom, per- haps the most striking one, of the current in American life that sets away from intellectual ideals.” Maybe so. But that isn’t the college athlete's fault. The root of the trouble is the alumni. And behind that is the University trustees. And behind that is the business end attached to all col- lege education and procedure. And basic to it all, the capitalist sys- tem. Their attack is made directly against the $10,000 to $20,000 a year salaries paid football coaches, against the proselyting and subdiz- ing of college athletes; but when this austere, scholarly body, domin- ated by the business interests con- trolling the colleges, came to hitting the core, they fell completely short, or else were forced to look above the rims of their spectacles when they hit th nail on the head. IE professors ask, “How far do the profits from football teams go toward supporting college in- tellectual activity?” In some tases, some; in other cases, none. But after all football stars aren’t promised the world with a little fence around it for intellectual pursuit. Upon their graduation from high scnool, they are pam- pered, wined, dined in great fash- ion, introduced to big shots of the business world, and told, “that fellow I just introduced you to— President of Profit and Loss Stock Company . . .” “Harry,” gtoating, patronizing alumnus says, “This is Mike Tackle, all- state demon from Texas. Weighs 210 pounds and is sure All- American material. . . .” ete, And the poor kid goes batty over the glamor. He expects the world on a platter. He hears stories. If Scottsboro PROTEST MEETING Friday Evening, March 9th SPEAKERS: Joseph Brodsky Samuel Leibowitz William Patterson Richard Moore But exposes or no exposes, col- leges are still proselyting and sub- dizing athletes, giving them raw deals after they ate stuck in for “intellectual” mastery, and the bid for champion building coaches still goes on. Dental Mechanics Walk Out in N. Y. NEW YORK—The false teeth ine dustry was at a standstill yester- day when the 1,100 dental techni- cians in the metropolitan area went on strike for recognition of their union—the New York Dental Tech- nicians Equity—and increased wages, Notice to the men to walk out today was given by the Equity ex- ecutive board at a mass meeting in Irving Plaza Hall, 15th Street and Irving Place, Wednesday night. Frederick Randell, president, and Hugo Pollack, counsel, of the Equity and Leonard Darvin, executive sec- retary of the Dental Technicians Council of America, with which the New York organization is affiliated, wave the false tooth set fabricators their final instructions. Officials of the Equity do not ex- pect @ prolonged gnashing of un- sound teeth. The reason for this optimism is that the dental tech- nicians in the area affected are 98 per cent organized and that a num- ber of the laboratory owners have indicated their willingness to sign the Equity agreement, BENSONHURST WORKERS Patronize Gorgeou’s Cafeteria 221 86th Street Near Bay Parkway Fresh Food at Proletarian Prices Allerton Avenue Comrades!

Abraham Cahan, Socialist editor of The Forward, which has carried on a consistent and contemptible campaign of slander against the Soviet Union, the only country in the world where complete freedom ous speeches had been given to the press before the meeting opened. I read one paragraph of Cahan’s h speech: “The German Socialists call them- selves Social-Democrats because Democracy {s an organic part of their platform. And the Democratic regime they established in 1918 (over the head and bloody bodies of thousands of workers—of Leib- knecht and Rosa Luxemburg) was one of the wisest and noblest con- ceivable (shades of Scheidemann, Noske!) under the absurd and sui- cidal economic system. ealled Capi- talism." x declared, “who might question the right of the American Legion to participate in a meeting of this character.” There were, Mr. Neary. There are thousands of Communist and the country who, knowing the fas- cist and militarist aims of the American Legion, stand indignant at the hypocritical spectacle of American fascists spewing words, with a wink of the eye, “against” the German fascists. Neary wound up his speech by quoting the pre- amble to the constitution of the American Legion, announcing its purpose to -“combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses.” Mr. Cahan sat, unruffled, on the platform, And the New York Times re- ported yesterday, most of the speakers “made it plain... that the indictment and the Jay against Hitler and Hitlerism alone; not against ...
