PREP AIRING FOR
BIG CONFERENCE
ON DAILY WORKER
New York Unions Feel
Importance of Move

NEW YORK, Dec. IA. - According
to reports coming in to The DAILY
WORKER office, preparations on a
wide scale are being made by New
York labor unions for the coming con-
ference, which will be held Friday
evening, Dec. II at s D. m. at Man
haitian Lyceum, Sc East Fourth Street.
Credentials have already been re.
ceived from various labor and fra
ternal organizations, pledging their
support.
The coming of The DAILY WORK
Err to New York is looked upon as a
countermove on the part OF the left
wing, to the centralized attack Of the
right wing and the bureaucracy Of
the A. F. Of L. Altho the left wing
has already built powerful organ,
for the struggle among the Jewish
workers, the Freiheit, it has not yet
established a local organ to reach the
English-speaking workers. Needless
to say, that an effective left-wing must
have the support OF the English speak
ing elements, and that this can only
be established through the New York
DAILY WORKER.
VIII Increase Strength
With the advent of The DAILY
WORKER, the left wing will gain
tremendously in strength, and will be-
come a factor in the labor movement
at a whole instead Of being limited to
the Jewish unions. Radiating from
New York as a center. with the pow
erful help of an English organ, the
left wing will be to increase its
strength many fold. and emerge from
the present attack with renewed
energy and resources for the coming
struggles.
