The DAILY WORKER,
Dear Sirs:
1 received a copy Of your paper

that your paper gives the workers
a square deal which most of the
papers do not. We, of course, lost
our short fight due to the unloyalty
of some of our fellow members.
Altho / was one of Mr.. LAWNS loyal :

much interested in your paper, but

to be from Oakland, Calf, arrived
here today and went at once to the

no one but doctors and nurses were
to be allowed to see her or enter the

she fired into her abdomen from an
