Daily Worker Organ Of
Workers In Class War
By JACK KENNEDY


New York today sees the advent
Of the Paper Of the Future-The
DAILY WORKER.
The heart of the labor newspaper
nan beats fast as he visualizes that
uture. Seventy-five years ago an
other paper, small and rather unpre-
tentious, began life as a New York
daily, that paper-The New York
Times-entered 1927 as the most
powerful of all American anti-labor
journals, the Colossus of world jour
nalism.
The DAILY WORKER starts it's
New York life under far better aus
pices than did the puny Times Of
1851. Rooted in the hearts and
minds Of Americas most militant
workers through its three sturdy
years in Chicago, the WORKER
comes here not as an experiment but
as a vigorous, growing newspaper in
tent on a bigger place in the sun.
Not the widest dream of future
strength and influence is impossible
for this young, healthy newspaper.
Alone, it speaks for Americas work
ing masses. Alone, it understands
the nature of the struggle by which
Americas millions in industry and
field will strike from their limbs the
bonds of intolerable slavery. AS the
leader of labor press flung nation
wide, it will carry the banner of VIC
tory.
Today's six page DAILY WORK
Err, the David of labor journalism,
enters the citadel of American inn
perialism to make war on formid-
able Goliath who appears unconquer-
able. But the far-seeing newspaper
man can understand that the battle
will be no set-up. History and the
intelligent, continuous policy of the
Workers (Communist) Party are on
the side Of this six-page paper as it
pits it's small resources against an
anti-labor metropolitan press whose
circulation runs far up into the seven
figures.
In fresh, clear, crisp English; in
style that will appeal directly to
the head and heart of every worker
and his wife; in a technique which
will turn topsy turvy the cynical
standards of other newspapers, The
DAILY WORKER will make its way
into the home and factories Of New
York labor.
Serving, helping, guiding and lead
ing every worker and his wife in the
every day battles against boss,
preacher, press and imperialist, the
DAILY WORKER will win the con-
fidence of the masses and lead them
to victory.
New York's other dailies boast
they developed out of war; the SUN
and TRIBUNE out Of the Civil War;
the WORLD, TIMES and Hearst
sheets out of the Spanish-American
War; the dirty little tabloids out of
the degradation of the World War
Wha a meze glorious future then
does the Daily Worker facet 1t will
develop out of the greatest of all
wars, the class war. 1t achieves
ultimate victory only when the
workers themselves have triumphed
over all.
A million circulation? The figure
is too modest.

THAT FIFTEEN THOUSAND
DOLLAR QUOTA

Immediately after the Madison
Square Garden meeting the record of
the New York District in the $4,000
Drive. in which New YOrk's quota
was placed at $4,000, will be pub
lished, by units, subscribers and sec
tons. Every member of the Workers
Party is expected to complete his
share of $500 donated or collected by
that time. If you haven't done your
duty yet, NOW is the time. This is
the last call on this subject. Make it
"lOO%o."
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-01-24

The city where the New York
Times is published is the logical one
for The DAILY WORKER, the for
mer being the chief organ of the
capitalists in America, and the latter
of the working class.
And The DAILY WORKER is the
organ of the ENTIRE WORKING
CLASS and by its publication in
New York, it becomes the priv
lege and duty of all workers in the
metropolitan area to do their share
to make the majority of the work
ers realize that fact. At the same
time the workers in the rest Of
the country must not think that they
are left completely out of the picture.
While 1t is true that New York.
New Jersey and Connecticut can be
served most quickly and efficiently
by The DAILY WORKER, never
theless at the present it is the only
English labor daily in America and
must not, and will not, neglect the
struggles of the workers in any part
Iof the country.
Furriers Support Daily Worker.
At the recent Daily Worker Con-
ference held at Manhattan Lyceum,
New York, where over 200 delegates
of trade unions, fraternal and other
working class organizations laid
plans to raise funds for the moving
of the paper to New York, Samuel
Liebowitz, Assistant Manager of the
New York Joint Board Of the Fur
riers' Union, made speech of great
significance.
Referring to the recent furriers'
strike, Liebowitz stated that during
the struggle the Furriers' Union
realized the importance Of The
DAILY WORKER.
"Altho the Jewish Daily Freiheit
was of great help to u.s. he said,
1--WE were not able to reach all of
the workers thru it. About go per
cent could read Jewish, but we had
no means of reaching the other 40
per cent. That is why the publica-
ton Of The DAILY WORKER in
New York is of such Importance"
To Fight Right Wing.
Another example of what great
Importance must be attached to The
DAILY WORKER in New York is
the great deal of space that the
local capitalist press gives to the
speeches, documents and statements
of Morris Signan and the other
leading enemies of labor in labor's
own ranks.
When, December l, 1926, the Cen
eral Executive Board Of the Inter
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union issued a statement attacking
the left wing ins the union, we find
a four column story the next morn
ing in the New York Times, quoting
it almost in full. On top of that the
Times publishes one vicious editor
ial after another attacking the Com
munists and the left wing.
If The DAILY WORKER had been
published in New York City at that
time it would have been able to i'm
mediately publish reply to Sigman
and counteract the poison of the
right wing-New York Times attack.
1t is true that The DAILY

THOUSAND new
MEMBERS HEAR
OF CORRUPTION
Local 8 Grafters Still
Hinder limitations
BY HELEN BLACK.

Over thousand recently organized
electrical workers Of the New York
district attended a. meeting called by
the organization committee of Local
8, international Brotherhood Of Elec
trical Workers at Webster Hall on
Sunday afternoon, to hear vice-presi-
dent II. II. Breach explain the delay
IN installing them in the union.
Difficulties Explained.
There has been tendency on the
part of these newly organized work.
ers to express dissatisfaction because
they had not yet been taken into the
union but after vice-president
Breach had given details of the situa-
ton between the International and
Local Of the Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers. explaining that no
new members could be brought in i'm
til this was settled, the new members
expressed their confidence In the or
eanization committee and pledged
their support in this fight against the
corrupt former leaders of Local s.
Old Obstructionists.
A brief outline of the history of
the fight between the international
and the officers of Local 8, was given
by Breach and he told how consis-
tently the old leaders had opposed
bringing new members into the local
just as they were doing now. "But
organization work is going right on"
Breach said.
Il am convinced that we must have
complete unionization of the New
York territory in order to have an
effective union, and nothing is going
to stop us from proceeding with this
organization work. The electrical
workers of this district are only 300
organized. We are going to have
them organized 1902 before we are
through"
Corruption Found.
In addition to the charge that they
carried on little or no organization
work among electrical workers under
their jurisdiction and actually pre-
vented workers from entering the
union, the former officers of Local
3, after thorough investigation by
officials of the international, were
found to be guilty ia whole series
of corrupt practices, so vice-president
Breach told the workers at the Web
ster Hall meeting.
Paid by Bosses.
Affidavits show that some officers
were on the payroll Of the contractors
in charge of the Edison Power House
on 14th Street; business agents were
accused of accepting bfibes from
contractors, and gratuities from cleo
trical workers, in order to obtain
membership in the union; and nom
union men were permitted to work on
union jobs in large number or
places.
Ran to Courts.
1t was to rid the union of such
false leaders that II officers we're
brought up on charges and expelled
but through court injunction they
are still technically not ousted. How
ever. the membership, at a meeting
on Thursday, January 20, gave vice
president Breach its overwhelming
vote of confidence, and approved his
action in removing these officials by
a vote of $500 to 3.

Whether the company's revenue

HOUSE MEMBERS PRAISE
SERVICES OF ANTHONY
Wishes Extended for Speedy Re
covery of Kansan, Now
Ill in Arizona.

Under general debate on the Army
appropriation bill the House yesterday
devoted considerabl time to eulogy of
the services of Representative Daniel
r. Anthony of Kansas, chairman of
the subcommittee of the appropriations
committee that drafts the Army APP
preparation bill, but who is now at
Tucson, Ariz., on account of ill
health.
In making a report to the House on
this bill paragraph regarding Mr..
AnthOny's absence was included in the
report, with the statement that the
subcommittee had had his counsel by
letters. Representative Barbour of
California, who was acting chairman,
in his speech to the House also on
pressed the sentiments of the COM
mittee regarding the value of Mr.. An
thongs services, and the hope that his
Improvement was such that he would
return to his duties in Congress.
Representative Louis G. CramtOn,
Republican, of Michigan, a fellow
member of the appropriations commit
tee, late yesterday read to the House
an extract from letter received from
Mr. Anthony stating that his health
is improving, and denying q report
that he contemplated retiring from
Congress.
II shall not comment at this time
as to how such a statement could have
secured publication, but have
thought the House would be much In
terested in this good word as to the
progress of our friend toward renewed
health, and the hope that 1t holds out
that the country will continue to have
his services in this House.

the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, the mortgage representing the
last of the Indebtedness on Epworth
NJ. e. Church, South, at Thirteenth
street and North Carolina avenue
northeast will be burned at cere-
monies today at II o'clock.

1t was on Christmas eve five years
ago that the old Epworth Church at
Seventh and A streets northeast
burned over a large number of has
working over a large number of bas-
kets for delivery TO the poor. The
fire destroyed even the gifts.
The committee gathered other gifts,
however, and soon thereafter arrange
ments were completed for building
a new church In the Lincoln Park
neighborhood.
One significant fact about the new
church, it is pointed out, is the pro-
hibition against affairs for raising of
church revenues, such as suppers,
parties or entertainments. When the
congregation was in difficulties many
years ago, a substantial gift of money
was offered on the condition that
thereafter there be no drives, enter
tainments or similar events for
revenue. This condition has been
lived up to.
