OUR DAILY WORKER has lately
" shown signs OF marked improve
ment. 1t has assumed more of the
character OF a mass labor paper. It's
importance can perhaps now not fully
be recognized by its supporters and
sFmpathizers. However, should II fail,
the rejoicing in the enemy's camp
would strike this fact home with ter
rible effect.
Yet as long as the Importance OF
our Daily Paper is property appre-
ciated, II will succeed, It will strength
en- itself and Il will grow in influence.
The Improvement of our DAILY is
there. The next step Is for the sup
porters 70 take II up and build.
The DAILY WORKER Is becoming
the center OF the movement which ex-
presses militancy in the class strug-
gle. The American labor movement H.

are signs that this tradition will re-
awaken and then The DAILY WORK

"This morning the police effort was

the police are using the arrest of a
non-striker charged with throwing

sion extorted from him in their re-
newed efforts to break the strike is
proven by the unwarranted arrests
this morning of Gustav Deak, chair
man Of the strike committee of the
local, and others connected with the
leadership of the strike.
Yesterday the police arrested three
picket line leaders,: Joseph Bellani,
Tom Regain and Tom Winick. These
men were brutally beaten up before
and after they were bundled into the
patrol wagon. Bellani was later charg-
ed with being implicated in the third
degree confession wrung from the non
striker arrested yesterday morning on
the charge of having thrown a bomb
in Clifton.

KEEP IT AND BUILD IT.!

Of fighting for all the interests Of the
rank and file workers. To those who
are bitterly exploited In the shops OF
the heavy industries and today remain
unorganized, as we'll as those who
have enrolled in the ranks of the
trade unions, The DAILY WORKER
can become much more of a center
when II is brought to the attention of
all those workers that It Ia the only
paper that expresses their desires and
fights for their needs.
All the workers who are now ac-
quainted with The DAILY WORKER
should more than in the past submit
their grievances thru the columns OF
the Daily, express their aspirations
and let II become a center not only
for the movement in general, but also
Of their struggles in their particular
shops. That means TO contribute 70
its columns. 20 order bundles 70 dis
tribute amongst the workers and 20
gradually extend the circles around
the center established. Proceeding
this way. we will not only keep The

with them, the imperiaHst powers
show real alarm and are mobilizing
available war vessels on the Chinese
coast.
Great Britain is rushing war craft
from far flung possessions to Chinese
waters. There are well-authenticated
reports that Japan is in no mood to
come to Britain's assistance and the
United States is playing possum.

BY r. ). o'FLAHERTY

MO doubt the readers of The DAILY
IN WORKER will welcome a rest
from my exhortations for day. And
here comes the relief. A laborer in
the proletarian vineyard who attended
the Streator convention thought he
would throw me off the Mcpherson
case for a while and lead this column
on the road to higher and better
things. As thesis on the Streator
convention l recommend 1t to research
workers and others who are compel
led to explain current phenomena:
TT really is too bad you didn't attend
the Illinois State Federation of La
Dor convention. You see / feel that
intellectuals like US need a close con-
tact with the aims and aspirations of
labor and see as often as we can at
close range its devotion to the cause
of the worlds masses. think we
need TO be stimulated now and then
to spur us on In this noble struggle
with labor's banner afloat. And since
you could not be there, let me pass on
to you a few impressions. Second
handed as they may be, perhaps you
can catch the inspiration anyhow.
DOOR Mr.. Olander and Mr.. Walker
4 certainly are wasting away to a
mere 300 pounds each in their terrific
struggle for labor. 1t is certain that
the rank and file of delegates do not
fully appreciate the devotion of these
two stalwart leaders-since they only
increased their salary $500 this year
of prosperity. How they will manage
on their wages Of $500 l shudder to
think OF course there is their ex-
pense accounts but they only take
care Of the cost of their living. The
one thing, however, that pleased me
most was that the announcement OF
the salary increase was the only oc-
casion for genuine outburst Of APP
plause throughout the whole conven-
ton. So in their own way, you see,
the delegates really do want the right
thing done.
