"CongratulatiOn, Comrades, on
your editorial in the Dec. 10 issue
of the Daily Worker entitled: The
Working Glass Reply to Lies
against the Soviet Union The
work is of Acme Calibre. 1t is
without question an exceptionally
clear analysis of the situation"
This shows that the workers not
only read the Daily Worker for news
of the class struggle, but recognize
1t as their political leader and guide.
For nine years the Daily Worker has
been serving this function, and each
year its role as the leader and or
ganizer of the American working
class grows in Importance. 1t is for
this reason that large masses of
workers throughout the country are
preparing to celebrate the ninth an
niversary of their fighting Daily"
In New York the celebration will
be held New Years Eve, Dec. 81, at
the Bronx Coliseum, 177th st. and

REAL STORY OF
SNOW REMOVAL
Worker Shows Up The
Boss Press Reports

by a Worker Correspondent
WILLIAMSBURG, Brooklyn, Dec.
19.-It is getting worse every day
and the newspapers don't print the
truth about what is happening.
Only the Daily Worker tells the truth
about these conditions.
l was standing at johnson and
Humboldt in Williamsburg this
morning and there we're about three
or four hundred workers standing
there, some since O'Clock in the
morning, waiting for a chance to
shovel snow, My application has
been in the office for four or five
months and was told that we whose
applications were in would get the
first jobs. Last week when it showed
was told by the man doing the
hiring that the snow must be three
feet deep before they would hire any
men
This morning we waited in line fer
several hours and when they began
to give out jobs the cops and the
men doing the hiring pushed all of
us who were in the lines away from
the door and brought in big bunch
of new men.
Here we find that the big head
lines in the papers about thousands
of men getting jobs we're big lies.
The men who did the work were
called out by name and asked them
who they were and they said that
they were the 2-day-a week regular
city men, who were made to do this
snow work instead Of their other
work
Then the cops began to hit right
and left. They chased all the men
away from the place and struck g
Negro in the mouth, hurting him
badly.
These 2-day-a-week men ought to
organize. This would prevent the
bosses from using them against us.
And we are going to organize to force
this gang of thugs to give us work
and without discrimination.
