The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-02-07

Yet at this time the Daily Worker is
fighting for it's own life The Daily Worker,
the only working class newspaper published
in the English language in the whole world,
is threatened with extinction for lack of
funds. Yesterday, for instance, we told you
that on the previous day we had been very
nearly closed down for lack of a mere $3.50,
of which we were short to meet the demands
which had to be met that day. And yester-
day afternoon, while preparing this edition
of the Daily Worker, it became evident that
the funds coming in for the day would not
be sufficient to hold off creditors whose de-
mands would have closed down the paper.
The receipts for the day were only S718.50,
when fully twice that much was the IMME-
date need for preventing suspension for
the day. The receipts during the present
drive to pull the Daily Worker out of the
crisis, are:

is only IN Its flrst day. The
bosses are plainly astonished
at the swift strength of the
strike.
Fight To Win!
According to the estimate, given
in the first few hours of the strike,
by the General Strike Committee
formed by the Joint Board of the
Cloak, Dress and Fur Workers
Union of the Needle Trades Indus
trial Union of the U. S. A, close
to 10000 workers had been regis
tered with the Strike Committee,
while many more were pouring into
the strike headquarters at 16 W.
21st St., as the strike pickets spread
the call throughout the city. "We'll
fight till we win," is the spirit OF
the workers.
So rapidly has the walk-out
spread that the strike machinery
was of necessity increased and ar
additional hall engaged for today's
meetings. This is Bryant Hall, 42nc
st. and Sixth Ave. Today, the
Strike Committee announces that
mass picketing will begin and the
strike call will be taken to thou.

In every hall at II o'clock this
morning, the shop chairmen are
called to meet according to their re

Demands.
The demands accented by tn,
strikers are for the 40-hour, five
day week; a minimum wage seal,
with increases; the abolition O.
piece work for week work; tn,
right to the job, with no discharge,
or reorganization; and an abolition
of the sweatshop conditions, of hom,
work and section contracting.
The hour has struck for tn,

of the past. That the traitors wht

now are fully united with tn,
bosses against the workers, is prov
en- by the statement of F. c. Roger:
of the Wholesale Dressmakers' As
sociation, published yesterday il
the bosses paper, "Women's Wear.
He says:

Schlesinger: Scab Herder.


"We have perfected an arrange
ment with the Rights whereby the
workers will be swung into the va
cancies with little delay. Thru CO.
operation with the Rights the pro-
duction of the association members
and any of those firms calling on
the association for assistance, will
be maintained"
Again the company union, social
ist-led, and boss-supported, offers to
do the dirty job of scabbing on the
strikers. But the sweep of the strik-
ers through the shops will wipe out
this effort of the boss-owned fake
union" to break the strike which
is gathering headway with every
hour.
Socialists Call for Police.
In the strike meetings yesterday,
the wailings of Benjamin Schles-
niger, the chief of the would-be
scab-herders, We're laughed at by the
workers who crowded the halls to
overflowing. The dressmakers of
New York sharply resent the scab-
bing attempt of Schlesinger's clique
who openly call on the Tammany
police to aid them break the strike.
Schlesinger told the capitalist press:
"If any effort is made by the
Needle Trades Workers to annoy
workers in shops signed up with us
(the company union-Editor.) we
will make concerted effort to have
the police protect these shops"
Break the Strikebreakers.
The workers on strike showed that
they will meet and meet effectively
this unspeakable scahbing alliance
with bosses and police to defeat their
fight for better conditions, for con-
ditions they have lost precisely
through the treachery of the Schles-
ingers and Sigmans since 1896
Through continuous betrayal, pre-
cisely by these strikebrealers, not
only union conditions, but the union
strength was weakened until the
bosses were unchallenged in the en-
forcing of the most humiliating

DON'T get immediate and substantial help,
the Daily Worker will nevertheless be
destroyed.
The working class cannot afford to let
the Daily Worker die.
Every class-conscious worker MUST
bend every energy NOW to secure funds to
send to the Daily Worker. See that your
Union, your Fraternal society, your Work

AND your individual shopmates as well as
YOU YOURSELF make as large contribu-

class-as quickly as possible.
The press banner of our class must not

To Workers Who Read the Daily Worker.
Comrades:
Those Of you who live in New York City
will have seen yesterday that thousands of
striking needle trades workers, pouring out
OF the dress shops, held aloft copies of the
city edition of the Daily Worker with the
big headline: 'DRESSMAKERS' STRIKE
TODAY" Later, as the big strike got under
headway, the workers throughout the
struck dress district were armed with
copies of this, the only fighting newspaper
of our class in the native language. which
became the means of informing the work
ers of the big struggle.
1t is living example of the fact that
the Daily Worker, the Central organ of the
Workers (Communist) Party, is the main
instrument upon which the workers depend
for information and direct inspiration to
fight for their class demands.
