not be one merely Of duty. It should
come with joy and pride in the spirit

We must keep the weapon OF revo

DAILY WORKER, the only newspa-

the oppressed workers and tends to
awaken them more fully to class con-

have been able in the past to keep
The DAILY WORKER with dollar,
half dollar, and quarter dollar dona-
tons. That fact should give us the
courage to go out now and raise ten
fold the amount we raised in the
past.
We must start today First, let us
send in our own donations. Then let
us sell the books of coupons to work
