The DAILY WORKER TODAY.


IueSudy OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 3I2ZO
wednesday ............,.......... 404.O4 :.
Comrades:
Those loyal and energetic workers whose efforts
are responsible for the collection of 12 1894 rs to date
for the Save the Daily Worker Fund have secured
this amount chiefly from individuals The great re-
serve OF sympathetic OrganiZatOns-uniOn fraternaI
and benefit societies. cooperative societies. workers
clubs, etc.-is almost untouched.
Yesterday only three contributions from organ
iZatiOns were receved-$10 from the Great Falls
Mont, branch OF the International Labor Defense
So from the Finnish Workers Club of Keene n H.:
$40 from the Workmen's Circle branch in St. Paul,
MINI.
The geographical distribution of these dona-
tiOns-One from the New England states one from
the Middle West and one from the Rocky Mountain
regl0n-shows clearly the wide response to the ap-
peal OF the Daily Worker-the central organ. of the
Workers Communist Party and the fighting paper
OF the American working class. Distribution of
knowledge OF the needs of the Daily Worker and the
concrete evidence of sympathy and desire to aid in
areas so widely separated shown by the donations
mentioned must be followed now by concentration of
the activity OF Daily Worker supporters in working
class organizations in all sections of the United
States.
The mass organizations of the working class
this is the base OF the support of the Daily Worker
never failed to lead and support uncompromisingly
the struggles OF workers organizations against the
attacks OF American imperialism and its agents-the
bureaucracy of the American Federation of Labor
and the socialist party. Should the Daily Worker be
forced to suspend the militant organizations of the
working class would be left voiceless
THIS MUST NOT HAPPEN.
1t will not happen if the Daily Worker support
ers now will concentrate their efforts in workers or
ganlzatl0ns-guarantee that every militant organ
zatI0n has the critical situation of fighting paper
called to its attention in the concrete form of an ap-
peal for substantial contribution When we say
substantial" mean exactly that In all organ
Nations, matter how militant and class conscious
the average level of the membership may be, there
are certain elements which approach all questions
formally.
In the present emergency formal, Official
approach to the question of support of the Daily
Worker would be fatal. The amount sent in to date
has been collected precisely because our comrades
have realized that the question is not formal one
of making standardized donations of small sums but
that THE DAILY WORKER FACES ACTUAL
SUSPENSION if they do not come to its aid with
generous donations.
Comrades and fellow workers! Into the mass
organizations!
The end of the time set for our campaign is close
at hand. Let finish it with magnificent total of
contributions from workers organizations which will
place the paper which speaks for them in a position
OF financial security leave it free to devote all it's
energies to the sharpening class struggle and which
will be at the same time tribute to the wide mass
support without which the Daily Worker could not
have survived the crises of the last five turbulent
years.
Greater struggles mature fast in the womb of
the future TherefOre-intO the mass organizations!
To mobilize them for the Daily Worker is to mob
llize them for struggle against the danger of mper-
laist war, against the wage-cuts and speed-up,
against social-refOrmist betrayas, against the ex
ploitation and oppression of American Imperialism,
for defense of the Soviet Union!
Mobilize the dollars of the mass organizations
against dollar Imperialism! Every supporter on the
mass front!
Fortify the Daily Worker! Give it the muni-
tions needs for the battles of today and the bigger
battles that are to come!
BIG CONTRIBUTIONS FROM MASS ORGAN
lZATIONS is THE WEAPON WE WANT TODAY.
EVERYONE TO THE FRONT. MORE
ENERGY IN THE DRIVE TO SAVE THE DAILY
WORKER.
