The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-04-18
Is the Party Membership in
Action in the Daily Worker
Campaign?

WE ask this question because we are receiving
" letters from Section Committees asking
for campaign information. ST. Louis, as an in
stance, writes: "We have set our own provi-
sional quota because the district has not as
signed us any YETI
The quotas for mail subscribers, bundles and
contributions for, the districts were printed
twice in the Daily Worker, April and April
8. Every district should have assigned Section
quotas long before this date.
1t is true, the Party is engaged in many i'm
portant tasks at this moment An attitude
may prevail in some districts that to initiate
at this time campaign for the Daily Worker
is just one task too many The answer is
that building the Daily Worker is a part of
every task the Party undertakes, is a part
of the daily life of the Party.
A Feature of Every Party Task
You want to increase the revolutionary I'M
Outstanding of the masses of workers in your
district? You want to have mass response
to your call: "Strike! Down Tools May First"
Reach the masses in the industries with the
Daily Worker and they will learn why they
must fight and how to fight. This will give
you leadership over conscious masses who will
join your defense corps, will join revolutionary
unions.
Securing mass circulation for the Daily
Worker goes hand in hand with every Party
task. The Party membership has not under
stood this. For many months the members
have wholly neglected their duty to secure
new readers for the Daily Worker.
10 make all members conscious of this duty
the Central Committee has decided to institute
a Daily Worker campaign. 1t has been decided
to set up special campaign apparatus for the
purpose, first, to clarity the role of the Daily
Worker as mass organ; second, to drive the
members into action to secure tens of thousands

all the industries for the Party by making

The campaign opened officially April /. with
