to Save 'Daiy" Short
$z676; Creditors Give 3 Days

This shortage of $1,676.47 of the sum nee
essary to pull The DAILY WORKER out of
this crisis which threatens its life, must be
raised Immediately.
Today and tomorrow are crucial days.
Funds received now are twice as effective as
they would be at a later date. We urge the
militant workers who Head The DAILY
WORKER to respond as generously as pos
sible and quickly.
Today we have made good on one promise
that we would restore our revolutionary
organ to the size which has been normal in
the past-six pages. We must keep this up,
as it is impossible to give the workers the
necessary minimum of working class news,
and especially information on the coal strike
and the formation of the new union of the
mine workers, the textile strike, etc., with a
four-page paper.
The smallness of the amount received Sat
urday leaves a dangerous gap. If The
DAILY WORKER should fail to receive very
substantial sums today and tomorrow, the
resulting situation would be very precarious.
We request you therefore, to rush every
available dollar that you can possibly spare,
by telegraph, airmail or special delivery, to

Arriving at the hall for a
meeting called by the local
union, the miners found the hall
padlocked and a group of Lewis
men under the leadership of
Wolcott, father of Carlisle VOL
colt, international organizer of the
Lewis administration. 1t was later dis
covered that Wolcott hung the lock on
the entrance. The Lewis machine men
jeered at the members of the Avella
local, challenging them to hold the
meeting in their hall.
When Preston Henderson, a Negro
progressive, attempted to force the
lock, knowing that the hall belongs
to the Avella local, Wolcott summoned
four state troopers and a number of
deputy sheriffs and induced them to
place Preston Henderson under ar
rest. When the other progressive
miners protested that the hall was
theirs and they had right to open
it and hold their meeting, they, too,
were arrested. State police were busy
last night, calling at miners homes
and arresting every person who ad-
mitted having been in front Of the
