ner at his meeting on October 18th?
Will the words Workers Party or
these three magic letters "Y. w. L.
be placed upon the banner at the close
of the DAILY WORKER subscription
contest? Who knows?
Comrade Maxim, the newly elected
DAILY WORKER agent of the Down.
town English Branch says HE knows
He claims there is no question about
it at all. His branch will win the
Red Banner. And he hands in half
a dozen subs to prove it.
But Comrade L. Hirschman of the
Harlem English Branch thinks he has
a word or two to say about the mat
ter, and slams in a list Of ten new
subs, just to show us what's coming
And he must be taken seriously, for
under his inspiring leadership the
Harlem English made the best record
in the DAILY WORKER drive a year
ago of any branch in the whole United
States, and they are now determined
to keep the laurels.
They'll have to go some tho, for the
Williamsburg English comrades are
also girding their loins for the fray
At the last meeting they elected Mar
eel Scherer as their DAILY WORK
Err agent, and he'll have the active
help of every member of that live
lbranch in the effort to put it. over the
top.
And the field will not be left to the
English speaking branches alone.
Among the various language branches
that have entered the lists there is the

has sold more subscriptions than any
other branch since the contest began.
This is due largely to the splendid
work of Comrade Lena Greenberg,
member of the Furriers' Union, who
has sold twenty subs for the twenty
day that the contest has been running.
She says that she's only just started
and to watch the "fur fly" when the
other members of the branch also
get busy.
Among the branches of the Young
Workers League there's also some
thing stirring. The best individual
record in the city to date is made by
member of the League, Comrade
Blocker, of Jewish Harlem No. 10,
who has 81 subs to her credit, and

shall win the day." as well as the Boil.

The contest is warming up. Ill
subs were secured in the last ten days
and the rate is increasing from day to
day. The total now stands at 2S6, Sc
cured by Sc comrades in rs branches.
This indicates what we may expect
when the other $500 members and
the other so New York branches pitch
into the game, as THEY SURELY
WILL before the final award of the
Banner.
The mark set to be reached in or
der to place the DAILY WORKER on
the New York news stands will be far
surpassed. Instead OF the mere 500
subs by October 18th, we therefore
now raise the slogan AT LEAST ONE
SUB PER MEMBER in EVERY
