Comrades, this is the sort of spirit that
makes the Communist movement win. We are
determined to keep our revolutionary working
class paper alive, and we believe that you are
going to help us to the limit of your ability.
You remember that we told you we must have
$4,000 today and a total of $4,000 by next
Saturday, June 16. Although we have not by
any means received the necessary minimum of
funds necessary today, we hope for an unusually
large amount in this mornings kilograms and
mail, as the contributions are increasing every
day.
We reducing expenses to the extreme
limit. You will observe that we are printing
only four pages this Saturday, instead of the
usual eight pages for the Saturday issue. This
is the best we can do this time, but with your
comradey help we are determined to not only
save The DAILY WORKER but soon to restore
it to its normal size.
Meanwhile the danger is so extremely great
that we request you not to delay any contribu-
tion that can be gotten to US today, before noon
if possible.

N. Y, WORKERS TO
PROTEST TERROR

Italian workers of New York will
hold a mass meeting tomorrow, the
fourth anniversary of the murder of
Matteotti, to honor all fascist victims
and to protest against the recent
reign of fascist terror of the workers
of Italy. The meeting has been called
by the Anti-Fascist Alliance of North
America, to unite all anti-fascist fore
es in New York and vicinity and to
begin a new aggressive campaign
against the fascist terror under the
Mussolini government.
Speakers will be francesca Coco
Carlo Tresca, Oscar Mazzitelli and
Pietro Allegra. Nicola Napoli will
preside. The meeting will take place
at 2 p. M, at z East 18th Street.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-06-09

Union Square, when state can
didates will be nominated and a
state platform adopted.
This convention will be the
starting point for a mobilization
of all aggressive working class
elements in the state against the
corrupt forces of Tamniany Hall
and the republican party, and against
the socialist party, the party of the
betrayers of labor.
Since the last general state cleo
tions, the workers of New York have
felt more keenly and sharply the
heavy hand Of the capitalist govern
ment against them. Injunctions,
police brutality and terrorism against
the needle trades workers, he trac-
tion workers, and other sections of
labor; the complete disregard by the
state of the hundreds of thousands of
unemployed workers, have demon
stated forcibly the nature of the
two capitalist parties.
The socialist party, allying itself
with the union-wreckers of the city
and state, repudiating the class strug-
gle, has been exposed as party
which today is placing itself in the
service of capitalism. The workers
of New York State can look towards
the Workers (Communist) Party as
the only Party prepared to organize
and lead the masses behind plat
form fighting for their interests and
against capitalism.
Delegates are expected from all
parts of the state, and from numerous
labor organizations. Following close
upon the National Nominating Con-
vention of the Party, which put for
ward William z. Foster and Benjamin
Gitlow as it's standard bearers, the
state convention in New York City
will mark the beginning of an inten-
sive and widespread campaign thru
out the empire state" for the pro-
gram and candidates of the Party.
Candidates for governor, comptrol-
Ter, encouragement, U. S. senator,
and other state offices viii be nom
mated In addition to deciding upon
a state platform, the convention will
also lay plans for the conduct of the
election campaign in the state.
