CAST0NIA APPEAL ENVEL L0PES BARRED FROM MAILS:
ORDER SPECIAL COURT TO TRY TEXTILE STRIKERS
SAVE The DAILY, SAYS
FATHER OF FRED BEAL

What the Daily Worker means to the
wOrkingclass of the United States was yester-
day vividly brought home to us thru the
words of two different workers-one, 70
year-Old veteran, ruthlessly thrown aside by
the capitalist class after nearly a half CEN
tury of slavery-the other an 18-year-oId
Gastonia mill striker.
The old worker W. w. BeaI, the father of Fred E.
Bea leader of the Gastona mill strikers one of the IA
threatened with eectrocuon by barons courts in
North Carolina. W. W. Bea TO- dismissed from his
railroad job after giving 4S years of his life to the Boston
and Maine Railroad and Is old Ebert Feherow one of
the Gasonia strikers here for the Workers International
e both urge all the militant workers of the United States
to rally to the aid of their fighting paper which faces ex
tncton if immediate help is not forthcoming.
Il can't imagine what the workers would do should they
lose the Daily Worker" said w. w. Bea "Its thru Fred
that began reading the Daily Worker That was two years
ago, and can't be without We workers in Lawrence
uhe Massachusetts mill city which is the home of Fred
Beais fahe) have found only friend We workers can
not afford to be without the Daily Worker; every worker
must come to the Daly's help at once"
This is what the Daily Worker means to an old fighter
in the labor movement.

Worker means to the Gasonia mill strikers and to the IA
strikers who threatened with eecocuon on framed I'M

the bosses papers, and they lie about leaders,
when the Daily Worker comes down there tho little
boys all take bundles and sell thru the streets You'd lust
