NOW HERE'S A
PIECE TO READ
And ACT UPON
Correspondence, Funds
+. and Circulation

The Organizing of a corps Of volun-
tary correspondents is necessary If we
want to have real live T. U. E. L.
section in the DAILY WORKER. Not
merely a weekly section, but daily
section, dealing with the everyday
struggles Of the workers and the left
wing activities in these struggles.
This. In. turn strengthens the left
wing group. In fact the building up Of
the DAILY WORKER means the
strengthening of the left wing group.
The DAILY WORKER has just pas
ed its first birthday. Since the birth
OF the DAILY WORKER, the left wing
movement has made rapid strides for
ward. 1t is not merely coincidence
that the left wing in the labor move
ment has progressed rapidly during
this period This is largely due to the
fact that we have working class
daily to give publicity to the strug-
giles of the workers and Of the left
wing. Not merely to record the news
of these struggles but to fight in the
interest of and lead the workers in
the struggle.
Did you ever ask yourself the ques-
ton, what would we do without the
DAILY WORKER" You know that
the work of the left wing would be
greatly retarded without the daily.
No, the daily is not going out Of bust
ness. But working class papers, at
best, live a hand-to-mouth existence,
depending upon the workers as their
only support, and especially depend,
ing upon the left wing to organize
that support
The Workers (Communist) Party is
calling upon it's members to insure
the DAILY WORKER for the year
1925. Insurance policies are issued
from $100 up. The T. U. e. L. ma.
tional committee calls upon the mill
tants in the labor movement who are
not members of the Workers Party to
help to insure the DAILY WORKER
for the coming year. What can you
do? Have you taken out a policy?
What have you done to help to build
up the circulation of the only English
speaking working class daily in Am
erica? se--- s,a
u The DAILY WORKER strengthen
ed the Progressive Miners in their
fight against John L. Lewis, having no
organ of their own, the daily played
a. big part in unifying the struggle
upon a national basis, which resulted
in the left wing candidates rolling up
the enormous vote of $1,000 against
the reactionary Lewis machine.
In the struggles against class col
Elaboration and the expulsion policy of
the labor bureaucrats, the DAILY
WORKER has been a pillar of
strength and an incentive to the left
wing. In the needle trades, railroad,
metal, building, textile, no matter
where the struggle of the workers
takes place, the DAILY WORKER can
always be depended upon to play its
part well.
But what is the T. U. e. L. doing
for the DAILY WORKER? The cam
paign to insure the DAILY WORKER
for 1925 is a temporary but very vi.
tai one; but the building up of the
circulation, which is the real way of
insuring its continued existence, is
more than campaign in the strictest
sense. 1t is an activity just the same
as amalgamation, fight against expuls-
ions. etc. In fact, the activity of
building up the DAILY WORKER is
not an activity in itself, it is a part
of all our activities.
Let me ask the question again in
another way, what would happen to
many Of our activities If we had no
DAILY WORKER"
If you have not taken out a policy
TO insure the DAILY WORKER for
1926, do so now. Get the progressives
in your local union to take a subscrip.
ton. Bring the DAILY WORKER be-
fore your union by inviting the
DAILY WORKER agent to speak
there. Become a DAILY WORKER
booster. The DAILY WORKER is the
livest member of the 7. u. K. L., II
Is a member at large of every left
wing group. What is your group do
ing obuild up its circulation?
