Coal Miner
By ADOLF WOLFF.

He digs and drills, he crouches, crawls,
In griny, sweat-soaked overalls,
To tear from earth it's heart of coal,
Deep down in gloomy, gas-filled hole.
He tolls, million fires to feed
To get the things bis dear ones need.
1t sure amt much, some grub, shack,
Some rags oput upon the back.

you've got to have some fun in life)
To put aside little dough
(You can't just say how things will go)
Hard times, the doctor and the like
And now and then hard fought strike,
Or sometime, what is even worse
A grave, coffin and hearse.

What of the Miners?

While warmth suffuses us in comfort here
In our weheated homes, with those most dear
Beside us, what of those who mined the fuel
That keeps us warm? Behold the winter cruel
In which they suffer now from cold and want
Behold their children, ragged, pale and gaunt
And hudded close to keep the frost away.
Behold the men on picket lines all day,
Shot down. or hSnted like wild beasts by night?
Courageous in the long, one-sded fight.

All that you can that those who fight might live

By JACK.STACHEL.

THERE cannot be a well
L functioning Party without
a first-rate Bolshevik central or
gan. We cannot boast of our eff
ficiency and effectiveness if we
cannot maintain and secure a
central organ.
The DAILY WORKER is the
barometer of our influence, our
strength, our shortcomings and our
weaknesses.
We rejoice in the fact that our cen
trail organ is beginning its fourth
year. With all its shortcomings it is
a browning achievement to the van
guard of the American working class
that in the last period when all the
enemies of our Party were determined
to destroy our movement, when The
DAILY WORKER editorial staff was
faced with many indictments, when
its very mailing list was threatened,
that our Daily has survived. For it
is no mean job to print and maintain
a Communist paper in the English
language in the United States at the
present moment.
Nevertheless, it must be said that
the Party membership in general has
not yet risen to the occasion; that
there has not yet sunk into the con-
seriousness of our Party membership
the real significance and Importance
of their central organ.
What would our campaign for a
Labor Party be, what would our
struggle against the injunctions, what
would our fight against unemploy-
ment be, without daily paper that
brings the slogans of our Party to
the masses and mobilizes them for
struggle? How could we organize to
meet and to struggle against the dam
ger of another World War, of war
against the Soviet Union, give sup
port to the struggle of our Chinese
brothers and the oppressed masses of
Latin America, Mexico, Nicaragua,
etc.? These and many other activi-
ties of our Party could not be car
ried out without a central organ of
our Party in the English language.
And yet many are the days when
The DAILY WORKER is actually
faced with suspension. Every mem
Der of our Party if he was given the
alternative of seeing his paper sus-
pended or give full weeks wages
would not hesitate no matter at what
sacrifice to give weeks wages and
help The DAILY WORKER live. And
| yet many of these members when
asked TO Go much less, to sacrifice
much less, fail to respond. They fail
to respond because they have not yet
realized the Importance Of The
DAILY WORKER, because they do
not understand as yet the role that
The DAILY WORKER plays in the
life Of our Party and its significance
to the struggle of the masses. Every
member must therefore visualize be-
fore himself what would happen to
the various campaigns of the Party
if The DAILY WORKER went out of
existence. Every member must WIS.,
ualize how this would strengthen the
reactionary forces, how this would
make glad the heart of our enemies
and he will realize his duty to his
Party and to its central organ.
This fourth anniversary to us
therefore must not be merely an oc-
casion for rejoicing-altho indeed
there is sufficient to rejoice in the
fact that in spite of all obstacles we
have been able to maintain our
lDaily-but must be an DECISION for

pear it would be a signal for applause.
But never in my life have l sat in

A protest similar to this started a
few years ago in Detroit, when
American troops were being sent to
Siberia TO fight the Russian work

crystallized, so that the domination
Of small nations like Nicaragua by
imperialists will be exposed.

and better working conditions for the
workers? No, l think there will be
wage cuts and more speed-ups and

workers to stop this increase in mil

a living wage and better working con-

AS usual our comrades do their ut
most on such occasions to make it as

With this view in mind, they believe
thst the more speakers there are, the

his has the reverse effect. The audi
arca does not like to have too many
speakers; they become monotonous,
and many of the workers who attend
leave their seats before the affair is

therefore suggest to the commit

to make the event as impressive as
such a great occasion deserves. I also
