SEND CHALLENGE
In Sub CAMP Align
Detroit O f f e RS to
Race Chicago

Detroit, home of the Ford workers,
challenges Chicago, home of the
packing house workers in the full
llment and surprising of the quota
assigned them in the big circulation
drive of the Daily Worker.
A letter to the Daily Worker by
the District Daily Worker agent of
Detroit says, 1--WE accept whole
heartedly the quota assigned u.s. by
the National Office, and plan to full
fill our quota before District (Chi-
cago). We are calling meeting of
all the Daily Worker agents. and the
Drive Committee, where we will play
our plans for the campaign. The
meeting will take place on July %.
Preparations for the mass distrib-
ution and increase of sale of the
Daily Worker are going full speed
ahead. Visiting of subscribers, cir
culation of the Daily at factory gates
and neighborhood with copies of the
Daily Worker, holding of Red Sun
days and rallies are only part of
District sevens campaign to spread
the Daily Worker among the mas
ses.
The campaign of the Daily
Worker for 1000 new paid subscribe
erS, and 1000 paid in advance bundle
orders started on July 18th, and will
end on November 1st. The work of
the campaign is linked up with the
work on the elections. Every signer
of the petition to put our Party on
the ballot is a potential reader of
the Daily Worker, future sub
scriber.
Word has not as yet come from
Chicago. Detroit feels sure that there
will be a keen competition in the
fullfllment of their quota, which is
700 yearly subs and the increase of
700 paid in advance bundle orders.
