organized workers who know that only with
the leadership of the Workers (COmmunist
Party CAN they be organized, and the SYM
pathizers with the cause of freedom of the
working class-these, we are confident, are
going to see the Daily Worker through.
We know that you will help save the
Daily Worker. The only question-the dan
gerous question-is, HOW SOON?
Monday it looked as though the Daily
Worker would miss few days of publica-
ton. This alone would have been calamity,
and we kew it. We managed to get out
Mondays paper, knowing that the disap-
pearance of the one and only daily news
paper in the English language would have
been heralded from the house-tOps by the
enemies of our class.
For several days we may have to run in
the crippled ondition-reduced to only four
pages, without cartoons, etc. But we will
carry on, because ONLY because
YOU will help.
The receipts Monday were S741.46. This
is large amount than was received on any
previous day, but it includes mail of Sunday.
The flow of donations is NOT YET LARGE
ENOUGH OR RAPID ENOUGH TO SAVE
THE DAILY WORKER.

TAXI DRIVERS
PROTEST MEET
HITS WHALEN
Rules on Traffic Cut
Into the Earnings
of Chauffeurs
Demand Right Turns
Rule Against Cruising
for Fares Cuts Wages

The anxiety of Police Commits
sioner Whalen to make the front
page every day with some new
stunt, is causing great hardship to
the taxi drivers of New York This
was the keynote of last nights
meeting of drivers held under the
auspices of the Taxi Drivers Union
of Greater New York, at Webster
Hall, 121 E. 18th st.
The meeting, which was addressed
by several speakers, adopted reso-
luton protesting that Whalen's new
regulations" of traffic has done
as much to cripple traffic as to help
it, and in addition has cut into the
earnings of the drivers so that
many are having serious time to
make a living.
The resolution further protested
that the commissioners office has
threatened to suspend the licenses
of all drivers who attempt to enter
the restricted zone, and attacked
this as a dictation over their lives,
One instance was given by driv-
er, which carried the matter further
than violation of the rules. He had
written a letter about the recent
election, to the "Taxi Weekly" ar
open shop advertising sheet that
tries to be popular with drivers. In
it he ridiculed both the democratic
and republican parties as no good
for workers. Later a detective ser.
geant approached him and told him
the License Bureau had chalked the
letter against his record, and that
he Shouldn't say thing against the
democrats. Who do you think is
running this town." Such intimi
dation is the regular thing.
The resolution demanded a res.
toration of the right turn, lifting
of the ban against cruising, a desig.
nation of taxi stands at street in.
tersections, and elected a committee
to confer with the mayor to protest
the hardships brought about by
Whalen.
The meeting heard several speak
ers, among them Charles Kroll, Sec
retary of the union, George Powers
Martin Katz, A. Rabin, Dave Cor
man, A. Masko and Sol Auerbach.
Characterizing the new police
regulations Of Commissioner Whalen
as a part of the scheme for COM
plete consolidation of New York taxi
cabs into fewer and fewer hands,
Sol Auerbach, former cab-driver of
Philadelphia and at present on the
staff of the Daily Worker, declared
that the cab-drivers "must answer
this consolidation Of the bosses and
corporations by, consolidation of
the workers iato = militant and
lighting union"

Paris Labor
Elects M0ytv
To Chamber

PARIS, Feb. ANDRE Marty,
former Communist deputy and leader
of the French Black Sea fleet revolt,
was again elected yesterday to the
chamber of deputies by the workers
of Puteaux, industrial district of
Paris.
During the preliminary elections
Marty headed the poll last Sunday
and in the second ballot yesterday
he was elected by a large majority.
Marty ran against Cautherot, of the
Republican Union, the Socialist"
candidate having withdrawn, hoping
in this way to bring about the de-
feat of Marty.
Andre Marty had but recently
been sentenced to two years in Jail
in a charge brought against him by
the government for writing an open
letter to Marshal Foch, exposing the
French war aims against the Soviet
Union and Foch's attempt to or
ganize together with the British a
war to "oust the Bolsheviki." Dur
ing the trial Foch and other officials
of the French government were ex-
posed as liars.
Andre Marty is remembered by
revolutionary workers for organ
izing and leading the revolt Of the
sailors of the French Black Sea
Fleet in 1919, thus rendering the
fleet Intellectual in it's interven on
against the Russian revolution. The
sailors revolt caused the French inn
perialists to withdraw the fleet from
the Black Sea.

To the readers Of the Daily Worker,
Comrades:
The Daily Worker is NOT going to close
it's doors.
We are fighting with our backs to the
wall. We are in desperate financial condi-
tion-so desperate that we do not know
from one hour to the next how it is going to
be possible to meet the demands of creditors
who threaten to crush out the life of the
Daily Worker. Yesterday, Monday, we were
scheduled (by some of our creditOrs) to close
down and quit. Any reasonable" business
estimate would be that we had to quit. Any
but fighting Bolshevik paper would have
quit. But we didn't. The Daily Worker keeps
On, and is willing to say this morning that
it is going to continue to keep on.
None but fighting Communist paper
could have survived but the Daily Worker is
going to survive.
Why?
Because the WORKERS are going to
stand by the Daily Worker.
Above all, the Communist workers, or
ganized in our Workers (Communist) Party,
together with the other militant workers in
the trade unions, the many thousands of un-

Over 1000 electrical workers are
out on spontaneous strikes the
Broach machine refuses to lead, on
some of the biggest jobs in the city,
and not merely, 500, as the Build
ing Trades Employers Association
reported through the capitalist
press. The men are members of
Local 8 of the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers,
whose president is the notorious
Broach, the "little Caesar" of the
union.
Electrical workers quit on the
Grand Central Terminal Building,
Brown Brothers 36-story building in
Wall Street, No. 66 Broadway, the
Lefcourt Building, Seventh Avenue
and 26th ST., Otis Elevator Co., a
number of public schools, etc. A
couple of hundred million dollars
worth of construction is being held
up by this attempt of the electrical
workers to win the five-day week
and so reduce the burden of unem-
ployment in the industry.
The workers on strike rely upon
the other workers in the building
trades to support them, for if this
strike is lost, it means that the
Building Trades Employers Associa-
ton will extend their attack to all
the crafts in the industry.
The injunction issued upon the
demand of the association, restrain
ing the electrical employers ano
workers from putting into effect the
five-day week and wage increase
is scheduled to come before supreme
court justice Levy for argument al
o'clock this morning.

Comrades, you will see that the flow of
donations is NOT YET LARGE ENOUGH
OR RAPID ENOUGH TO SAVE THE
DAILY WORKER. Only by the barest mar
gin did we survive with $4,000 in situation
where $4,000 was minimum demand for
the moment. WE CANNOT LET THIS
HAPPEN AGAIN. WE MUST ENOR-
MOUSLY INCREASE THE AMOUNT
BEING RAISED.
The spirit which, when translated into
action, will save the Daily Worker, is indi-
Gated by the following:
The New York District of the Workers
(Communist) Party was given the quota of
$4,000 to raise in the district for the Daily
Worker. The different section organiza-
tons of the Party were allotted quotas ac-
cording to the best judgment of their respec-
tive capacities.
