Striking Furriers Help
Send Daily Worker to
Passaic Mill Strikers
BY j. LOUIS ENoDAHI.

THERE is much to be said in
i tribute to the striking furriers
OF New York City. Today one ex-
ample of their devotion to the cause
of labor will be considered. 1t
should be an inspiration to workers
thruout the whole nation.
While the Passaic mill strikers
are entering the 10th week of their
giant conflict, the New York furriers
are in the 18th week of their own
struggle. There is reason for these
workers, therefore, engaged in com
mon industrial war against their OPP
pressors, to develop sense of kim
ship.
It has remained for L. e. Katter-
field, the New York DAILY WORK
Err agent, to give material express
sion to that kinship.
Katterfeld believes in making The
DAILY WORKER the leader in
every industrial struggle. In order
to become the leader 1t must be read
by the strikers. But the Passaic
strikers, underpaid while at work,
had no funds with which to sub
scribe, and The DAILY WORKER
is not rich enough to send free sub
scrlptions to large numbers of work
ers, even when they are on strike.
Katterfeld has therefore launched a
DAILY WORKER Thousand Dollar
Strike Subscription Fund" He is
raising this fund to send The DAILY
WORKER to strikers, to the Passaic
strikers.
Right here is where the striking
furriers enter the picture. The, first
contribution list is returned to thI
New York DAILY WORKER offic,
by M. Spivak, secretary of the fur
rier strikers, who assemble daily at
Beethoven Hail. New York City, as
their meeting place. The list con-
tanned contributions totalling $500.
Thus the first contributions did not
come from workers with jobs and
steady pay, but from strikers them
selves, from striking furriers. In
Kattefeld's own words:
striking furrlers, who have had
no wages for 16 weeks, gave their
last dime for the sake Of sending
The DAILY WORKER to the strik-
ing textile workers of Passalc."
This was, in the first place, a
splendid display of class solidarity
and self-sacrifice. 1t was also an
indication that the New York fur
riers were convinced of the great
value of The DAILY WORKER as
an instrument for encouraging and
leading the Passaic strikers in their
struggle. At the top of the contribu-
tion list they filed out, was written:
"From Furriers Strikers Of Bee
thoven Hall, New York City, to Com
rade Strikers of Passaic."

Especial to The Daily Workerl


BOSTON, Mass, June 7. - John E.
Merriek, former executive member of

fenced Saturday by Judge Lourie Of
the superior court at Lawrence, Mass,

All the workers. organizations of
Haverhill rallied to his defense, with
many turnout the country giving

The fact that Merrick was known as
a radical and had working class
literature was used to prejudice the
case by the capitalist newspapers,
which carried ON a vicious propaganda
and played up red scare stories. The
judge permitted Brother Merrick only
to delay until Tuesday to settle I'D his
affairs before being taken by officers
to the prison to begin his sentence.

When Katterfeld opened his drive
for the DAILY WORKER Thousand
Dollar Strike Subscription Fund"
there was no thought of collecting
money from strikers. But when
strikers themselves, from their
meager funds, contribute in aid of
other strikers who are destitute,
then the value of this new Katter-
field idea may well be measured in
large proportions.
1t is thru such worth while efforts
that the New York district, already
near the top, altho 1t has the largest
quota, expects to lead the nation in
the present DAILY WORKER sub
scription drive.
1t is not necessary for Katterfeld
to point out that:
"These furrlers are a fine type Of
comrades. When their strike Is set
tied you will see the difference In
the subscription list from New York
City"
This cannot be doubted.
Here is an example for The
DAILY WORKER Builders in the
rest Of the country to follow. In
nearly every great city there are
some workers on strike. Their num-
bers may be few, but their daily
strike experiences with the police,
the capitalist press and gangsters
hired by the bosses, makes them
doubly able to understand the mill
tant message that The DAILY
WORKER alone brings them. Con-
slant reading of The DAILY WORK
Err will make them better fighters
in labor's cause. 1t will help them
understand their own struggle, and
connect 1t up with the growing
aspiration of all labor.
But it is not necessary to wait for
workers to go on strike before put
ting them on the mailing list of their
daily.
There are great masses of work
ers in the big basic industries, of
coal, steel, metal and transportation,
unorganized and therefore helpless
in the struggle with their employers.
There is labor in the packing, rub
Der, auto and other industries that
shows an unmistakable desire for
organization. They can be helped
thru The DAILY WORKER. Special
funds should be raised to help put
them on the mailing list.
Thru this method alone it will be
possible to end in triumph the pres
ent subscription drive of The DAILY
WORKER. New York City. with its
striking furriers, leads the way. It
should be the proud privilege of
workers in the rest of the nation to
fall in step and follow this excellent
example.
