IN considering New York's gain the figure for
newsstands supplied by the Metropolitan News
Co. are averaged for month so that poor sales
on two days last week due to the paper being
late only result in slight drop. This form OF
calculating the daily sales is also necessary due
to the returns from the news companies coming
in one week when they are applicable to another
week. The New York figures, it must be noted,
are exclusive of $500 extra copies containing the
indictment.

No Choice Allowed.

When she got there, to her sur
prise and disrnay she had no choice
as far as the food was concerned.
So they gave her all the stuff they
couldn't sell, such as third-grade split
peas. old flour, etc.
But rather than eat such garbage
she went back to her friend and
naturally made her look like two

Neev York Increase of 100 in Week Is High
Point in Campaign for Mass Circulation

During the week Daily Worker circulation
gained TAO. leaving Chicago out of the picture.
However, Chicago dropped 457. due to its previ-
Gus total having been boosted by Red Sunday
order. Counting the Chicago drop the circula-
ton gain was 1858. These gains do not INCLUDE
10000 extra orders for the edition containing
the Indictment OF the eight wreckers in the So
Wet Union.
The most striking gain during the week was
in New York where an increase of 1855 daily
circulation was registered for the week. This
is the biggest increase for week obtained by
any district In this campaign, and shows the
possibility of the Daily Worker going straight
into mass circulation.

SALES OF NEWS CLUB
JUMPS FROM 5000 TO 9,775

week 5000 papers, last week sold 9,775, an aver
age daily sale of 1929.
Next to New York the best increase for the
week was for Detroit, which gained 1859. Other
increases include "a for District 9, Minneapolis.
The city of st. Louis gained 10 and Los An
geles So.
In the tables today several districts show de-
creases This may in part be due to diminished
activity on the part of some districts in increas-
ing the day to day sales in order to concentrate
ON the indictment edition. Twenty thousand ex-
ira orders containing the indictment supplement
were issued. making a total press run on this
night Of 524oo.
