Comment: Reprinted in: The Partisan, April 1934; Burkom ,Selma and Williams, Margaret, De-Riddling Tillie Olsen's Writings, San José Studies, 2.1, Feb. 1976, pp. 65-83.The open attack against fascism and socialdemocracy associates this poem to the third period of US Communism, when American Communists considered Liberals and Socialists enemies of the revolution.The text is introduced by a quotation from San Francisco Chronicle (Feb,15,1934) in which it is mentioned the government decree under which Dollfuss closed indefinitely all Austrian schools to keep the children off the dangerous streets.
