existence is bad enough at any time"
writes George Elser from Cleveland.
But at this particular time, when the
Party is just entering the biggest
campaign it ever undertook, that of
rallying the workers from all over the
United States to vote Communist
for The DAILY WORKER to cease
publication would indeed be a crime
to the workers. The DAILY WORKER
fights valiantly to show the workers
the only true path to freedom. No
strike is too small, no battle too large
but what The DAILY WORKER is
there to give hope and leadership in
order to bring it success.
Gives Weeks Pay.
If we were thrown out of work and
found another position within month,
we would consider ourselves lucky.
Well, let US consider ourselves I'M
employed for only one week and don
ate the weeks pay to keep The Dali
LY WORKER aworking.
Il am enclosing my whole weeks
pay ($25.00) as a start, and | pledge
myself (although having to support
family that when one hundred Far
ty members do likewise, l will send
in another weeks wages"
Comrades, hold forth, help will
come" writes J. Posickow from Chi
cago in sending in $500. 81 firmly
believe that the workers of America
to whom The DAILY WORKER is
dear as the only paper in the
English language which fights for the
emancipation of the workers, will not
let it fall. We cannot permit out en-
emies to celebrate such victory. Long
live The DAILY WORKER!"
On Strike Is Months.
A miner who, for obvious reasons,
does not want his name to become
known, writes from Dillonvale, Ohio:
Il am awfully sorry to hear our
fighting paper is near its crisis, but
| am sending in a dollar for the ten
thousand dollar fund. / would like to
send more but l am one of the strik-
ing miners and have been on strike
for fifteen months. wish it was a
hundred dollars l was sending instead
of one dollar, as | would give any,
thing to save the paper because am
very interested in The DAILY WORK
Err, am one of the employed in the
United States Coal Co. at Brady,
Ohio, mine and l have received only
$500 benefit in the fifteen months"
Another worker, who does not even
sign his name, writes from Brooklyn,
N. Y: Dear comrades of The DAILY
WORKER, i have heard that the
Daily is in danger of closing up be-
cause of lack of funds. / hate to
see The DAILY WORKER go under
as it is the only daily labor paper in
the country fighting for the workers
and farmers under the capitalist sys-
tenn. So l will do my share by en-
lclosing dollar
| We have selected only few of the
many letters that came in with con-
ltributions in reply to the emergency
lappeal. The few letters disclose many
important facts. They show, first Of
all, that The DAILY WORKER has
become a necessity in the life and
struggle of the workers, of large mill
Itant sections Of the workers in this
country. This is the best guarantee

growth of the Daily. There are few
self-sustaining militant labor papers

Union. Most papers Of the revolu-
tionary class-struggle depend on the
workers aid for their existence The
