"The Daily" and the Left Wing

E. L. in building up the DAILY
WORKER will be intensified.
The DAILY WORKER has some
times been criticized by some groups
of the. T. U. E. L., but tho in some
cases this criticism was justified, the
DAILY WORKER was never criticized
for not supporting the struggles Of
the left wing, but in over-valuing some
phase and undertaking others. And
this is an inevitable result, it must be
remembered of the lact Of WORK
Frs CORRESPONDENCE as a lead
which is not the daily's fault but the
fault of those among the workers who
are in the struggle and yet do not
write accounts of it for the Oily
WORKER. On another page the T.
U. E. L. is calling for this work. Make
the t. U. E. L. page living thing
that will stand out brightly in the
DAILY WORKER.
Just let us cite a few Of the left
wing fights conducted by the T. U.
E. L. since the birth of the DAILY
WORKER so as we can get it's proper
value in the everyday struggles of
the workers. Born on Jan. 13, 1924
the DAILY WORKER was of invalu-
able service to the Progressive Min.
ers' committee in the struggle against
the Lewis reactionary machine in the
U. NJ WI Of A. convention held Jan.
%, 1924
Here was a convention Of 1900
delegates, a numerically weak left
wing fighting against the strongest and
most reactionary machine in the A. F
of L. Some 500 copies of the daily
were sold every day and passed
around, and it is safe to say that one
half Of the delegates read the DAILY
WORKER every day. What tremen-
dous effect that had! 1t strengthened
the left wing thousand fold.
The first three days Of the conven
ton Lewis had his own way, he CAV

ficult phases of the electoral struggle
for our party. 1t would have been
sorely crippled without the aid of it's
Communist press.
1t was not merely matter of win
ming the exploited workers and poor
farmers away from the old parties ad-
mitedly the instruments Of Wall
Street rule. But 1t was during this
year that the developing middle class
movement under the leadership of La
Toilette for the first time reached ma
tional proportions, and entered the
national campaign as definite factor.
Our Communist movement was called
upon to expose before the city and
land workers the petit bourgeois char
acter of the LaFollette movement;
and to reveal its real nature as an
ally of the big capitalists.
This task would have been impos.
sible Of accomplishment without the
DAILY WORKER. Thru our Daily
new masses were not only made ac-
quainted with our movement, but were
educated in its principles and brought
into its ranks.

the delegates. After that, the left
wing steadily grew in strength, and
finally smashed the convention con-
troll of Lewis and forced him to ad-
journ the convention before the bust
ness for which it was called was COM
pleted. This victory of the left wing,
altho it did not smash Lewis control
of the union, nor was it able to put
a program over in the convention.
strengthened and crystallized the left
wing and weakened the Lewis ma
chine
Again in the fight in the Furriers'
Union against the reactionary Kauf-
man machine where many Of our
members were slugged, the daily was
on the job. In the struggle against

tinct group in the Carpenters Union
resulted in more than credible show
ing in the election. All Of these fights
were strengthened thru the fact that
we have a daily working class paper
in fact some of the fights would have
been impossible without the DAILY
WORKER.
The struggle going on now in the
Carpenters Union by the left wing
against the signing Of scab agree
ment by Hutcheson and Jensen, which
has resulted In the expulsion of five
members of the Local 1S1 of Chicago
and the fight Of the reinstatement of
the eleven expelled Los Angeles car
penters, are gradually rallying the
membership in support of the lef'
wing. Carpenters thruout the country
are writing for information on this
struggle, their attention being drawn
to it thru the columns of the DAILY
WORKER.
These are but few of the struggles
of the left wing that have been
strengthened and made possible thru
the fact that we have the DAILY
WORKER. Hundreds could be cited
such as the Pullman, Hegewisch, Pat.
terson, and the outlaw" anthracite
strike, the fight for protection Of the
foreign born, the farmer-labor party
movement, the release of class war
prisoners, for amalgamation, interna
tional unity, recognition Of Soviet Rus
sia, etc.
TIE T. U. e. L., in greeting the
DAILY WORKER, promises the full
est cooperation and support, and
pledges itself to help to make the
DAILY WORKER real working class
daily of mass power. Not in the
sense of editing. but in the sense Of
helping to bring the DAILY WORKER
to the workers, SO that 1t will be ac'
cepted by the masses as their paper
in the sense that the DAILY WORK
Err will become the theological leader
Of the workers in fact.

BY THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE
OF THE TRADE UNION EDU-
CATIoNAL LEAGUE.

THE past year has been very ac-
/ tive, yes, hectic, year for the
Trade Union Educational League.
That we have made progress is self
evident, just as that a great deal OF
the credit for the progress made is
due to the fact that we have had
daily paper for the past year which
has fearlessly fought in the interest
Of the working class. It has support
cd and given publicity to the policies
and tactics Of the R. /. L. u, of which
the T. U. E. L. is the American Sec
ton.
The daily has supported every strike,
every fight of the workers against
wage cuts, lengthening of working
hours. 1t has consistently, and insist
emily urged the workers to fight for
q higher standard of living, for a
shorter workday, against child labor,
against injunctions, in fact the DAILY
WORKER, the official organ of the
Workers (Communist) Party is the
only English language daily in Amer
ica that has at all times in all strug.
gies Of the workers, thrown its col
nmns open to them and their inter
nsts.
It would be an unforgivable mistake
II the 7. U. E. L. allowed the DAILY
WORKERS birthday to pass without
congratulating it upon the splendid
achievements of the past year. The
Trade Union Educational League, how
ever, considers that the success of the
DAILY WORKER is the joint achieve
ment Of the Workers (Communist)
Party and the T. U. e. L. We also
consider that the building up Of the
DAILY WORKER is joint task, and
we pledge ourselves that in the com
ing year the activities OF the 7. U

elections campaign. was best seen in
the large number of Special Editions"
ordered by the comrades in the big
industrial centers.
In this way hundreds of thousands
of workers and poor farmers were
not only awakened to the existence
of the Workers (Communist) Party,
and its program and candidates, but
also came in contact with their first
copy of the DAILY WORKER. Thus
new contacts were established that
will result in the future in the estab-
lishment of strong centers for the cir
culation of our Communist Daily"
The Opposition Is Powerful
1t needs the constant, daily hammer
ing of our Communist press to make
headway for our movement. In every
electoral struggle the capitalist
spokesmen have all the advantages.
The movie houses, attracting great
multitudes, are open to them. They
have their entrances to the schools,
the churches, in fact, few meeting
places Of organizations, whether of
workers or non-working class ele-
ments, are closed to them. The capi-
talist press is with them 100 per cent.
And in addition to all these mediums
for reaching the masses. they now
have the radio. It is against this
stone wall of opposition that the Com
munist press must advance to win
progress for our cause. But it does
make headway.
At many of the meetings Of the
major candidates, during last falls
campaign, the DAILY WORKER was
bought and eagerly read. Many who
came to hear Coolidge or Dawes, Davis
or Bryan, LaFollette or Wheeler, came
away with copy Of the DAILY
WORKER stuck in their pockets, and

BY J. LOUIS ENeDAHL

THE first year Of the DAILY
WORKER also marked the first
year in which the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party entered the national politi-
cal arena. It is readily admitted that
the success Of the Communist cam
paign was in great part due to the
fact that our party had its DAILY
ready and at hand to help fight its
battles. The Communist press is the
biggest calibre gun in the Communist
armory during electoral struggles.
Win Non-RevoIutlonary Elements
1t is in the theses of the Second
World Congress of the Communist
International that we find this declara-
ton:
"The participation in the elective
campaign and the revolutionary pro-
paganda from the parliamentary
tribune has a special Importance for
the winning over of those elements
Of the workers, who-perhaps the
agrarian working masses-haVe
stood far away from the revolution
ary movement and political life"
Year Of Difficult Struggles
The year 1924 was filled with diff
