BUILD DAILY
SLOGAN OF THE
N. Y. BUILDERS
Plan for Future at Big
Concert and Banquet
(Continded from page H.

from Philadelphia, Lena Rosenberg,
Anna Litvaekoff and ~ Beard. The
out-of-town Builders had to do addi-
tional work in order to win the honor
Of coming to New York and partici-
pating in the celebration.
Previous to the banquet, an enthus-
iastic gathering had attended The
DAILY WORKER Builders Concert.
In addition to addresses by j. Louis
Engdahl, editor of The DAILY
WORKER, Moissaye j. Olgin, of The
Freiheit, the Jewish Communist Daily,
and Abraham Markoff, there was an
interesting program made up of the
following: "The International" by
the Workers Amateur Orchestral
violin solos by Elfrieda Boss;
dances by Edith Segal, her interpreta-
ton of the "Song of the Volga Boat
men" making a deep impression, and
an impressive tableau by The Pho
neers.
Many Obstacles Overcome.
Engdahl pointed out the many OBJ
stacles that had been overcome by
The DAILY WORKER during the two
years of its existence.
"The reorganization of our party
upon shop nucleus basis is not only
putting our party on the road to be-
coming Mass Communist Party, but
also aiding in developing our DAILY
WORKER into a Mass Communist
Daily" said Engdahl.
One of the greatest achievements
of the past year has been the develop
ment of growing army of Worker
Correspondents" added Engdahl, urg-
ing the workers to Write as They
Fight"
Olgin analysed the various types of
English-language newspapers that now
exist in New York City, pointing out
the necessity of developing the press
of the working class.
Enthusiasm mounted high at the
concert but it overlooked completely
at the banquet as plans were made
for enlisting at least 1000 DAILY
WORKER Builders during the next
four months. This period of intense
activity will come to an end with a
three-day celebration, July 9-5, at
some camping spot near New York
City.
L. Hirschman was the banquet
POSTMASTER. All the out-of-town Build
ers spoke. Leo King and Veronica
Gloaszewska responded on behalf of
the Builders board of directors. P.
Pascal Cosgrove, of the Shoe Work
ers' Protective Union, told what The
DAILY WORKER meant to the shoe
workers. Engdahl and Olgin. sitting
at The Pioneers table, in response
to I'VE Want Engdahl!" and I'VE
Want Olginl" appeals from the Pho
neers, spoke to the Builders from an
excellent point of vantage. Katterfeld
told the Builders that they were not
there to celebrate the past but to plan
for the future. Only on this basis
was the holding of a banquet an ac-
ceptable Bolshevik procedure.
The new boArd of directors of The
DAILY WORKER Builders Club. that
will shoulder the direction of work
for the next four months was chosen
as follows: Abe Rubin, Leo King,
Geza Szepesi, George Ashkenudse, Lii
liam Goodman, Morris Gottfried, Louis
Hirschman and Abraham Markoff. =.
Increase Circulation Ten Times?
The four months campaign started
with the putting up of a tremendous
DAILY WORKER" display sign
across the front of the New York
DAILY WORKER building at los East
Fourteenth st. New York City now
boasts the largest DAILY WORKER
circulation of any city in the country.
Katterfeld announces, however, that
this New York circulation ought to be
increased ten times.
