men, many of them out of work fol
months, realizing that the chances
Of getting work anywhere else are
very slim, decided to remain there
and build bonfires to at least keer
themselves warm.
Large bonfires were at once built
and when the company officials be-

in digestible form the picture of
capitalism that they feel in their
everyday lives, the problem Of the
power" of the capitalist press re-
cedes into the background so far as
the workers are concerned.
The main line of demarcation be-
tween a capitalist daily and a work
ing-class daily lies in the class strug-
gle itself. If the workers do not all
hail the appearance and five years
existence of the Daily Worker to
the echo, it does not mean that the
class struggle has been less in evil
dence. 1t means merely that the
conscious expression of the workers
side of the struggle has been coun-
teracted by the thousand and one
means, including their press, at the
disposal of the ruling class.
Future is Ours
Viewed in this light, the revolu-
tionary working-class press is an
anti-toxin that has on its side all
the forces of history. The power OF
the capitalist press rests in the
might of institutions and traditions
of an era coming to a close. The
power of the revolutionary working
class press, the Daily Worker, has
on its side the might of a giant
working class, Juggling at weaken
ing bonds, a class destined to be
the ruling class, as it is now the
ruling class of one sixth of the
earth.
The difficulties confronting the
spreading of the Daily Worker are
the difficulties of the class-struggle.
And like those Of the class struggle,
they are tempered with the assur-
ance of success for the working
class. The fact that the Daily Work
en- is the organ of the Communist
Party is a definite help to its fu-
ture as mass organ of the work
ers. 1t is an aid because the Com
munist Party is the only party that
can lead the working class, give it
program of struggle (the kind il
wants) and lead it on against Its
enemy, the master class.
This story began with 'The Front
Page" because this play is an out
standing present-day symbol, II
spite Of it's childish adulations, OF
all that is rotten, cynical and base
/ in the capitalist PRESS. 1t is some
thing of a sensation in Chicago. The
supporters of the Daily Worker II
Chicago can take cue from it. The
rottenness of the capitalist press
here, a sidelight on the rottennes'
of capitalism, is one of the strengths
of the working class press. The jim
go. strikebreaking, ten-edition-a-da!
capitalist newspaper offers no rea
competition in the eyes of the ex
plotted worker to a six-page Com
munist daily that gives Leadership
and hope to his struggles.

YOUNG PICKETS
Had Demonstrated for
Colombia Strikers
(By a Worker Correspondent

(Bu q Worker Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9.-The
capitalist courts of this city are
well known for the ''tender mercies"
of their brand of alleged justice
melted out to workers or sympa-
thizers of the working class.
The most recent case involves two
young members of the Young Pho
neers, Sam Silver, Is, and Harry
Blackman, IS.
These two boys participated in the
Anti-Imperialist League demonstra-
tions against the United Fruit Com
pany and in solidarity with the
striking workers of the plantations
in Colombia.
When the arrests took place these
boys were separated from the other
comrades and taken to the Juvenile
Court. Since there are no laws in
this state against demonstrations,
they were held on the trumped-up
charge of disorderly conduct, al
though it was perfectly obvious that
all the pickets had conducted their
demonstrations very orderly and
peacefully, merely walking up and
down the docks of the United Fruit
Company and displaying Anti-Im-
perialist slogans.
At the Juvenile Court it was ap-
parent that everything had been
pre-arranged for dealing with the
BOYS. One of the two arbitrators
actually left the room in which the
two boys were facing inquisitors and
the other asked some questions per-
I.functorily. He permitted the two
boys to return home on their own
recognition, intimating that trial
would be held by the court later.
When the trial was held, Judge
Bluett, with characteristic fair
ness" lectured the boys, told them
! they had no right to demonstrate for
strikers, as the strike was no affair
of theirs, and then sentenced them
to jail until after the school holt
DAYS. IF you are in JAIL" he ex-
claimed" you will not be able to
demonstrate again. Jail is the best
place for you during the holidays"
Sons Of the rich, arrested on really
important criminal charges, would
have been discharged through pull.
But intelligent young working class
boys, because they are members of
the Young Pioneers, are given a
harsh sentence and made to feel the
might of the capitalist state.

wage-earners. There is generally a
great suspicion of what the papers
say" The workers at the Stock
yards, Cranes International Har-
vester, South Chicago Steel Mills,
the real proletarians, victims of ra-
tionalizaticn and wage-cuts, these
workers have the natural instructive
reaction against the capitalist press
that we Communists are quick to
see in all their dealings with people
and institutions "across the line"
Our Strength
Therein lies the weakness of these
great advertising corporations be-
coming less and less Journals" and
more and more advertising mediums.
Therein lies the strength Of the
Daily Worker.
Many of Chicago's pushers of the
Daily Worker complain that the fact
that the Daily is a Communist or
gan makes it hard to press it upon
workers. Of course, it would be
easier if the Daily were a mere
undertaking sheet, contenting itself
with exposing scandals, rapping the
'high-cost- living" and generally
COMFORTING itself as an expression of
the simple reactions of the mass of
workers to Capitalism's rottenness.
A paper like this might be made to
approximate the million circulation
of the old appeal to Reason" milk
and water socialist" journal of
protest. ,
A Class Paper
But this period has long since
passed. We are in the middle of a
much more complicated system of
things. We are now at point where

AS prospect of contemporary i'm

And you may rest assured, that
although they may not know, as we
know, the terrible labor pains wrack-
ing international imperialism, the
contradictions making for the crisis
of capitalist economy-the workers
in the stockyards, steel mills, coal
mines and car shops have very few
misgivings about :heir desire to per-
petuate system that means speed
up, prosperity" with vicious back
fire, wage-cuts and unemployment.

Once they see that the Daily
Worker fights first, last and all the
time for their interests, tries to put
