The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-02-26
WARRANTS OUT FOR ARREST OF COMMUNIST EDITORS:
INDICTMENT MADE ON SOCIALIST HILLQUIrS PLEA
FUNDS URGENT TO FIGHT
COURT ATTACK ON DAILY

The New York County grand jury in respond
ing to the request of Morris Hiquit, leader of the
socialist party last night indicted the editors of the
Daily Worker and the Freheit for criminal libel.
Warrants have been issued for their arrest.
This action makes it certain that the Daily
Worker must now prepare to bear the heavy addi-
tonal financial burden of legal fees and court costs.
1t is precisely because he and his anti-working
class cohorts know that the Daily Worker is in the
most difficult financial straits that Hillqut laun
ches his attack at this time. Hlqut hopes that the
red banner of the class struggle which the Daily
Worker carries into every battle of the will
be sunk under the joint attack of the capitalist
courts and the social-reformist agents of i'm
perialism.
1t is because the Daily Worker speaks always
in the voice of working class revolt and working
class solidarty-that it's voice has been heard above
the of the big conflicts in the coal mining, tex
tile, needle trades industries and dozens of other
minor struggles for the last five years, because it
fights for the Negro and the colonial peoples
against U. S. imperialism, because it exposes the
sinister role of the Hillquits nationally and inter-
nationally, masks for the Wall Street imperialists
whose government makes On the Nicaraguan
people and whose plunder schemes lead directly and
rapidly to new world war that this attack is made
The class enemies of the Daily Worker and the
working class are using Hillquit and Hillquit is
using the capitalist state machinery in an attempt
to strangle the only daily paper in the English
language which applies the clear line of Leninism
to the class struggle in the United States.
HilIquit, the millionaire leader of the socialist
party, is striking straight at every struggle of the
masses by striking at the Daily Worker.
The total contributions including those of last
week are:
Previously listed Sl3, 1908
Monday ... 4125O
Total .S14.2O2.6g
Since last Tuesday the daily contributions have
not totaled less than $400. This is fine showing
the end of the time set for the drive is close at
hand. 1t shows the sustained interest of our sup
porters. But, comrades, this is not enough in view
of the huge additional expense thrust upon your
paper by the Hlquit attack.
Furthermore, we again remind you that extra
ordinary efforts must continue to be made to
mobilize support for the Daily Worker in the mass
organizations. And speaking of work in the mass
organizations the example set by of the
needle trades workers who made collections for the
Daily Worker and the Freihet while held in the
Jefferson Market jail on charges of illegal picket
ing should be in other sections of the labor
ment followed with the same energy displayed by
these comrades.
Into the Mass Organizations with the appeal
for the Daily Worker!
Renewed energy in all sectors of the campaign!
Send the daily total of contributions over the
$500 mark!
See that the answer to the latest attack, led by
the socialist-imperiaist H llquit, designed to
cripple the Daily Worker is found in the column of
contributions received.
Strengthen and broaden the campaign.
Strengthen the Daily WOrker-the Communist or
gan of the class struggle.
