In November, 1928, the special
election edition of 100000 copies
which was to go to all parts of the
country in the final election mobil-
ization drive, was held up by the
post office department in an effort
to cripple the whirlwind wind-up fo
the greatest election campaign the
Party had ever run. This was the
climax of a campaign of terror
against the Communist candidates.

der of the two labor martyrs, and
to arouse the working class, than
any other factor.
Capitalism was determined to
silence the only militant organ of
the class struggle, but the splendid
response of the workers frustrated
their plans, and the Daily" emerged
victorious.
In June, 1928, a grave financial
crisis almost shut down the "Daily."
It was the closest shave yet. The
editors received an >ultimatum from
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-01-05

their printers that unless certain
debts were paid Immediately, the
paper would be suspended. For a
time whole pages appeared blank
white. Despite a reduction in the
number of pages, the difficulty
continued until the whole member
ship of the Party and readers of
the "Daily" were modified. Their
splendid response saved the paper,
and enabled it to reach it's fifth
anniversary.

We can proudly state in celebrat-
ing the fifth year of our revolu-
ticnary daily communist paper that
our Daily Worker has become the
leader in the struggle of the work
ers against the bourgeoisie.
For instance, in the center Of the
automobile industry in Detroit the
Daily Worker is looked upon by
many thousands of workers in the
auto industry as the revolutionary
expression of the Workers (Com-
munist) Party which will lead the
fight of these hundreds and thou
sands of automobile workers in their
struggle against the open shoppers
OF Henry Ford and General Motors.
During our election campaign 90
COO copies of our Daily Worker were
distributed among these workers.
In the struggle Of the mine work
ers against both the labor bureau
cracy end the coal barons, the. Daily
Worker was the only English daily.
which did and is in the, forefront
and defends the interests Of the,
miners. sss
The same holds: true in the textile
and needle trades industry.
The Daily Worker is leading and
directing the struggle against the
corrupt and yellow Socialist Party
and The labor bureaucracy and. is
leading successfully the new miners,
textile and needle trades union move
ment. 1t is the duty of all members
of the Workers (Communist) Party
and these who are subscribers to the
Daily Worker, to make of this paper
a stronger weapon in the final strug
gle against capitalism.

In the New England States we
had the opportunity to estimate the
of the work Of the Daily
Worker. The workers in New Eng
land especially the workers in the
textile industry have faced the
brunt of capitalist naturalization.
Wage cuts and the sped-up are ram
pant. The reactionary officialdom
either openly aided the mill owners
thru blocking resistance by the
workers, or when forced in to strug-
gle by the mass resentment of the
workers, took the first opportunity
to sell them out, to betray them in
the struggle and force them to go
back on the terms of the mill own
ers. This happened in New Bedford,
Fall River and other textile centers.
In this effort to defeat the rising

coal miners were further confirma-
ton of its significant role.
In May, 1927, one of the strongest
and most concerted efforts was made
by a united front of reactionaries
of all types to suppress the "Daily."
The occasion was an allegedly Sim
moral poem published in the mag
azine section of the paper, which
cast some doubts upon the virgin
purity of our goddess friend in the
harbour.

many states as in 1924. 1t reached
among other workers, large numbers
of highly exploited Negro workers
and farmers. The special emphasis
put upon the Negro phase of the
campaign resulted in dozens of
Negro papers, which had never be-
fore been reached by the Commun-
list message, printing the Party's
election material.

Democracy Redivivus.

Six months after the avalanche of No
venlber. 1928. the Democratic party is
by way of assembling its shattered rem
nants and returning to the firing line.
The advent Of May is marked by full
dress announcement to that effect
from Chairman Raskob of the national
committee.
Choosing Washington as sounding
board for the proclamation, Mr.. Raskob
states that new party headquarters will
be established and maintained in the
National Capital. An executive commit
tee will be intrusted with the conduct
of the headquarters and all thereto APP
pertaining. A Democrat from the
Southwest-W. Jouett Shouse Of Mis-
souri, and Kansas by way of Kentucky
will be chairman of the executive COM
mittee, whose other members consist of
seasoned warriors like Senators Pat
Harrison Of Mississippi, Key Pittman
of Nevada, Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt
of New York and former Senator Peter
@. Gerry of Rhode Island. The COM
mittee comprises an exceptionally strong
cross-section of the youth and militancy
of the national minority party, assuring
its activities a vitality bound to COM
mand the unremitting respect of the
Republicans now intrenched In power
at Washington.
In the British House of Commons the
principal minority group is traditionally
known as His Maiesty's Loyal Opposi-
ton" One Of its distinguished leaders
afnrmed on an historic occasion that 'it
is the duty of an opposition to oppose.
During the perennial seasons of its
consignment to the political wilderness:
the Democratic party in the United
States has never failed TO live up tt
the British conception of an opposition
task. Between the lines Of the Raskob'

Emotions AS Factor
In Stomach Upsets
BY E. E. FREE. PHI. ID.

That some individuals may blush or
grow pale internally and get indiges-
ton, just as there are some who do so
externally when they get embarrassed,
is suggested by DR.. Walter G. Alvarez,
distinguished physician formerly of San
Francisco but now at the Mayo Clinic,
Rochester, Mimi, in a recent commune
cation to the American Medical Asso-
citation.
Modern smedical experience supports,
DR.. Alvarez says, the time honored idea
that pleasant or unpleasant emotions
may affect the production of gastric
juice in the stomach, the normal work.
ings of the intestines and many other
features of mans digestive system,
Not only do anger and fear alter d.
gestion but it is wise for physicians to
warn their patients, DR.. Alvarez be-
lieves against eating when absent
minded, mentally upset or greatly
fatigued." Not infrequently," he con-
tinues, some article of food gets the
blame for an attack of indigestion
when the trouble was really due to the
fact that large meal was put into a
stomach that was not ready to receive
It,"
One of the things that make a
stomach thus unready or incompetent
may be, he suggests, either too much
or too little blood in its lining men,
branes, precisely as pale face has too
little of the vital fluid or a blushing
face too much. Such changes in the
blood supply of the internal organs are
known to happen and to be affected, if
not controlled, by emotions, just as
ordinary bushes are.
Probably only relatively few per-
sons are sensitive enough to have one
of these pale-faced or -blushing
stomachs, but for those few the altera-
ton Of internal blood supply, whether
toward too much blood or toward too
little, may easily upset the whole d.
gestive system, DR.. Alvarez suspects, and
especially the mechanism which pre-
vents the accumulation of gas. A per-
son who often develops case Of case
Gus indigestion when mentally upset
may be the internal equivalent of the
oversensitive schoolgirl who dissolves
in bushes whenever anybody notices
her. wm
