The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-11-19

chance to spread the Daily Worker
to the masses. Local hunger marches
are scheduled for this week in
many cities, Mass conferences are
being held this week at which dele
gates to the National Hunger March
are being elected. Get in touch with
your local Unemployed Council and
prepare for these mass conferences,
Now is the time to increase your bun
die orders and spread the Daily
Worker to the masses. Send in your
cash with your bundle orders. Now
Is the time TO get subscriptions for
the Daily Worker. Be sure 10 have
subscription blanks always on hand.
The hunger march gives you the
opportunity for great mass sales of
the Daily Worker. And never was 1t
more necessary than now TO spread
the Daily Worker. The war raging
in Manchuria is certain to involve
the whole world. Already war hys-
terra is being built up by the CAPT.
talist press. The lies in the capital
ist press about the Soviet menace"
in Manchuria are only a beginning.
Soon the workers will be enveloped
in the thick clouds of capitalist press
war poison, as they we're in 1914 to
1917. Only mass circulation OF the
Daily Worker can dispel these poison
clouds. The National Hunger March
supplies the basis for this mass cir
culation. Daily Worker agents and
readers, do not let these big days slip
by without renewed efforts to- spread
the Daily Worker. Spread the Daily
Worker to the masses now, and build
a broad foundation for a subscription
campaign.
Not only sales at street demonstrs-
tons but also all other Daily Work
er selling activities should be speeded
up. A letter from Comrade j. J. OF
Pawtucket, r. L, for example, sug-
gests other methods Of spreading the
Daily Worker. Comrade j. ]. sends
us two dollars for two months sub
scription to the Daily and then he
writes: II have an idea for spread
ing the Daily Worker We should
get the names and addresses OF all
those who would like TO have the
Daily Worker but can only afford to
buy it by the week. We get their ad-
dresses and names at big mass meet
ings Then the Daily Worker can
eend the paper to the addresses and
a comrade can go around TO all the
houses at the end Of every week and
collect eighteen cents from each. We
could send back the money at the
rate Of two cents copy TO the Daily
Worker, with one cent a copy for the
unit.
I'VE could not very well deliver the
papers every night ourselves, as the
addresses gotten in this way would
be too widely scattered, but the unit
members could collect once a week.
The main idea is to get the paper
into the peoples homes"
The idea is good one, and others
might follow it. We sent the COM
rade letter in which we suggested
that the Pawtucket unit might get
several Red builders. unemployed
members who can devote considerable
time, to build up carrier routes. These
Red builders could sell the paper
from house to house and build up
contacts in every way possible. They
could then arrange to make weekly
collections as the comrade suggests.
Our letter to the Pawtucket coznrade
also suggested building up Daily
Worker clubs as very simple means
of strengthening the entire Daily
Worker selling organization.
But whatever your plans. cosp-
rades, now, at the time of the world
war threat and the National Hum
ger March, is the time to spur bun
die sales and increase Daily Work
or subscriptions.
