SOUTH BEND AND new ORLEANS
TO HAVE DAILY WORKER CLUBS
SOON; WILL HOLD D. W. AFFAIRS

II have received your letters and
bulletins regularly writes a COM
rade from South Bend, Ind. "I have
used the instructions on how to prop
agandize and organize workers. I
have worn out pair Of shoes walk
ing the streets selling the Daily
Worker, every copy of which is read
by the workers. I am unemployed
over one year. have also done my
best to spread the Daily Worker in
bread lines"
The above comrade also promises
to organize Daily Worker Club in
South Bend. This is good news. A
Daily Worker Club in South Bend
will help a great deal to bring to-
gether Polish and American workers
and clarity them on the social and
political problems of the day. At
meetings of the club both the con-
tents of the Daily Worker and the
Trybuna Robotniczy should be read
discussed and criticized.
Every Daily Worker Club should
be able to maintain Red Builders

cedure. Every worker must be fol-
lowed up day by day until Of his
own accord he becomes an active
element in the movement
Subscriptions to the Daily Worker
is one of the simplest ways Of bring
ing workers nearer to the movement,
Through reading the Daily day by
day and following the experiences Of
other workers, they will be able to
better understand their own expert
ences Of other workers, they will be
able to better understand their own
experiences and thereby learn how
to struggle against their own condi-
tons. BY subscribing to the Daily
Worker, workers begin to participate
more actively in the class struggle.
House to house eanvasses should be
made in every working class neigh
borhood, for subscriptions to the
Daily Worker. Monthly subs are only
so cents; every employed worker can
surely afford this small sum. Person
al calls will make lasting contacts.
Thousands of workers throughout the
country who are disguised with the
capitalist press will welcome the
Daily Worker once they are APP
preached with it. Sample copies
widely distributed are bound to re-
suit in subs from these workers.

We would like to hear more
about the New Orleans Club. How

Have leaflets been mimeographed

What is the attitude Of the workers

hat also destroyed his corn and
beans. This was all the Kimbler
family had to live on. A good share
of these greens were meant for the
relief kitchen.
Writing about this new outrage,
the local miner said, land one other
thing, if you remain in Pittsburgh,
don't forget that there are lot of
starving kids down in Harlan Sec
ton and that one of the things that
will hold up the morale is some
groceries, flour or something coming
in, that shows them real solidarity"
The Penn hio-West Virginia
Kentucky Striking Miners Relief
Committee is doing its utmost to
send a substantial supply of food
to the six relief Kitchens in the Har-
Ian sector this week, and the dona-
tons brought by delegates to the
Workers International Relief con-
ference opening in Pittsburgh, Sat-
urday, will make it possible to do
this without starving the other sec
tons. More donations are needed
though, to cope with tomoTow's local
demands. Send what you can to the
relief headquarters, Room 205, GIL
Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, Pa.
The Harlan KiWanis Club is all
agog about the extremely mild YER
sion about what is going on in Har-
Ian County which was written by a
Scripps-Howard reporter. That civil
liberties are completely unknown in
this feudal kingdom, is the principle
point he makes. Consequently this
club, many of whose members live in
the local hotel that bears a sign over
its doorway, welcome Coal Opera
tors" is issuing statements and re-
solutions condemning the reporter,
and all papers printing his stories.
The powers Of Harlan County
openly threatened to boycott all
firms in Knoxville, Tenn, unless the
News-Sentinel, mildly liberal cap
italst sheet, ceases publishing these
stories that expose a fraction Of the
lawlessness of the law" in Harlan.
Practically all of the papers here
abouts are directly controlled by the
Harlan coal operators.
The story that seems to have
drawn most fire, is headed 1.-TWO
kinds of Harlan Welcome" and COM
ments On the welcome Coal Opera
tors" sign over the leading hotel and
tells how the County Jail is the
stopping place of all leaders of the
workers. In the last article of his
series, the reporter tells how the
jailer, billiard Ball refused to let him
look over the Jail register because
I'VE get some big fellows in here,
