workers who read them the picture
of each conflict, identified by de-
tailed knowledge Of the course Of
that conflict and the strategy and
tactics employed.
The Communist daily press can,
therefore, be what a Communist
press must be, only when its pages
are filled with news furnished by
worker correspondents workers
who know of what they write, be-
cause they write Of worklngeiass
history which they help to make.
The Communist daily press Is a
weapon--a weapon whose keen edge
Is used to cut great gaps In the
walls Of the capitalist system, to
cut down the mercenaries Of the
capitalist state, to strip their corps
es Of the eamoufIase with which the
capitalist press covers them, to
show them to the workers in their
nakedness as they really are--cIass
enemies, the janissarles and JaekaIs
of reaction.
The Communist daily press must
have, in every industrial center, In
every agricultural district, at least
one worker who makes II his busI.
ness to furnish the news Of the class
war day by day. The workers Of
America have had enough Of the
pstronizing recording Of their strup-
giles by kindly intelIeetuaIs and half
baked college boys whose greatest
fear is that some day the workers
will do away with capitalist tyranny
and robbery and leave them nothing
to write about.
In the coming year, the second Of
the DAILY WORKERS existence,
every effort must be devoted to
welding a chain Of worker cores
pondents stretching turnout the
United States, with links in every
place where workers sweat and
fight, chain that slowly at first,
but with ever increasing tenslty and
speed, will stransIe the lies and
ISLANDERS of the capitalist press in
the Threats OF the Vermin who write
them, chain that will show with
unerring accuracy TO the working
class the hills and valley Of capital
Ism that they must ascend, explore
and conquer before the commun-
lst papers can send hurting from
their humminu presses the news
that bleeding, fighting, tired and
wartworn but uneonquerabe work

world capitalism, set up It's own die

THOUSANDS HAIL
DAILY WORKERS
first BIRTHDAY
Many CelebrationsHeId
Prove Huge Success

Thousands of Workers Party
members and readers of the
DAILY WORKER are rejoicing
today that the DAILY WORKER
celebrates the splendid achieve
ments made in behalf of the
working class and the Com
munist movement during the
first year Of its existence.
The DAILY WORKER is one
year old today, and the militant
workers rejoice that for the first
time the workers are led by a
militant Communist daily news
paper printed in the English
language. r.
The Chicago builders of the DAILY
WORKER met last night in Imperial
Hall at the first birthday party of
the DAILY WORKER. The DAILY
WORKER staff attended, and com
posed an oral newspaper as part of
the entertainment.
Big New York Meeting.
The New Star Casino was jammed
with thousands of workers Sunday
afternoon and evening, at the com
bined Karl Liebknecht memorial and
the DAILY WORKER birthday cele
bration. Great enthusiasm greeted
the speakers who told of the accomp
lishments Of the DAILY WORKER
during the past year and the triumphs
which are expected in the coming
year.
The proceeds of the celebrations
will go toward the fund now being
raised to build the DAILY WORKER
To- 1925. Arrangements for the Chi
ca : celebration were handled by e
an Ettee Of three, made up Of Gus,
shI \ lses Natalie Gomez and Emma
Bias, fhmidt.
One year ago today on North Hal
sted ST., in an overcrowded, rented
plant, the DAILY WORKER was born.
The pennies contributed by the thous.
ands Of Workers Party members bore
fruit in the establishment OF the first
English language Communist daily
newspaper. The sneers of the enem.
les OF the militant working class were
even then only partially silenced. The
opponents and false friends Of the
Communist movement said, "The pa
per will last only a few months"
In Midst Of Big Campaign.
But at the end of the first year the
DAILY WORKER is entrenched in
the working class movement to the
dismay Of the enemies of Communism.
1t is daily necessity for thousands
of workers and poor farmers, helping
them carry on their everyday strug-
giles in the shops and fields and mines
against their bosses, the open shop
pers, and the entire capitalist class.
The first birthday of the DAILY
WORKER finds the paper in the midst
OF a successful campaign to raise
funds to make the paper even stronger
during 1925. The DAILY WORKER
is the rallying point of the militant
workers and the American Commun.
list movement In the first year the
DAILY WORKER has shown itself as
necessary and permanent weapon in
the capitalist class and the establish.
ment of the rule of the workers.

Rawlins is fast becoming a sport

at the opera house was witnessed a
glove contest between several local
would-be pugilists. An admission

who gave up their shekels wallowed
time so they say. On Monday even
ing ii was quietly whispered about
town that a prize fight would take
place outside of the city limits be-
tween n couple of darkies. A large
crowd wendell their way up through
the cut and out onto the fiat three
or four miles, more or less, to see
the so-called fun. A circle was formed
ed by the master of ceremonies, who
no doubt is well posted on Marquis
