DAILY WORKER distribution.
Worker Correspondents can
enter the distribution con-
test and vice versa.
1t Is of course understood
that the reason for encourag-
ing the writing of worker
correspondence is not merely
to give the militants an OPP
portunity to express them
selves and the experience so
that they may write coherent
ly. The reason for the crea-
ton Of worker correspond
ence system is so that the
DAILY WORKER may not
only become the organ of the militant
working class in its ultimate goal but
also that the DAILY WORKER may
become the organ of all of the work
ing class in its broadcast political and
industrial struggles and in the every
day struggles in the shops and the
unions as well.
For this 1t is necessary for the
DAILY WORKER to be distributed
particularly in the shops and unions
about which Workers Correspondence
stories are written.
Worker Correspondence avails little
unless it is directly connected up with
distribution. But Worker Correspond
ence in the DAILY WORKER which
is followed up conscientiously and
energetically with the sale of the
DAILY WORKER will yield results
for the Communists press and the
Communist movement which are be-
yond measurement.
In some places, and to a small
degree, this connection has been
made. In order to make the distribu-
ton of the DAILY WORKER an in
tegral part of the system of which
writing correspondence is the other
part, the DAILY WORKER announces
the contest between Worker Cores
pondence distributors which is to be
held at the same time as the other
contests mentioned above. The con-
ditions are simple. individuals or
groups may compete.
Workers in small cities or those
who work in places where there are
few employees will have just as good
chance in this contest as workers in
the biggest cities and shops Those
who do the best work under the con
ditions which they must face will be
declared the-winner.
Rules of Workers Correspondents
Distribution Contest
At the same time as the Worker
Correspondents contest is held an
other contest will be conducted to de-
velop the distribution of the DAILY
WORKER in the cities and shops
about which the Worker Correspond
ent's are writing. Prizes of SIS worth
of literature will be given the win
ners.
1. The first contest will end on
July and a new contest will there
upon be started Immediately to end
two weeks later. These contests will
be continued every two weeks during
the summer at least
with the exception of paid employees
of the Workers Party and its sections
and professional writer.
3. The prize will be awarded to
the individual or group of individual
which accomplishes the best results
toward increasing the circulation of
the DAILY WORKER on the basis of
a Worker Correspondent story appear
ing in the DAILY WORKER.
4, The results secured will be
measured in the light Of the special
circumstances; that is what advant-
ages are taken Of the opportunities for
securing new readers for the DAILY
WORKER by reason of the Worker
Correspondent stories. For instance:
If story is printed in the DAILY
WORKER concerning a shop which
has 1000 employees and on the basis
of this story 100 copies Of the DAILY
| WOAehA<AN dAC boAu anu new ouD-
scriptions secured while in another
shop which employed 100 workers 80
copies Of the paper were sold and 8
new subs secured, It would be con-
sidered that the comrades in the small
Ter shop were more successful than
those in the larger shop.
5. II is not necessary for the con-
testant in this contest to write the
Worker Correspondence himself.
He may proceed on. the basis OF a
story written by someone else in his
shop or union or he may work in CO.
operation with Worker Correspond
ent.
8. Entry into the contest must be
made at the time an article OF Worker
Correspondence is sent into the
DAILY WORKER. This is to be done
by sending along with the story an
order for copies Of the issue in which
the story is to appear which are to
be paid for In advance at the rate
