Int'l Tailoring Co.
Gets Free Labor
in Charity Drive
(By a Worker Correspondent


NEW YORK.-While we workers
at the International Tailoring Co.
are starving on the job and most of
us are not getting enough pay to buy
food for our wives and children, the
firm is coming out with charity
racket. We are forced to make up
suits without getting any pay for it.
Brothers and sisters: Refuse to do
the work without pay! Let the boss
give this charity Qf it's true) out Of
his own pocket. We made enough
profits for the boss. We have moth
ing to give.
We are still forced to work 9 and
10 hours a day under the N. r. A.
Neither the union officials nor the
N. R. A. is doing anything for us.
Some of the workers in the building
are working over so hours a week
for SIS and SIC, and when they sign
card for their pay it is marked SO
hours.
Experienced workers are getting
$14.40 a week, while they turn our
work for SIS and $50 week. They
now have to join the union. The
Anlalgamated officials refuse to ask
for any wage increase fer them.
All of you get together and go
down to the union office and demand
that they get an increase in wages
for you. The other workers viii
stand by you. In spite of the fact
that the union promised the company
that we will not strike, the strike is
the only weapon we workers have.
We must call shop meetings at
once. Let us discuss our problemc
and see what we can do. We mus.
elect committees from the rank and
file to represent us. Let us get to
work at once. And remember, united
we stand, divided we fall.

We are about to celebrate the 10th
Anniversary of our fighting paper,
the Daily Worker. In these ten years
the Daily Worker has been the only
daily in the English language that
has fought for the interests OF the
toiling masses in and out Of season.
Wherever the workers engaged in
struggle for improvement of their
conditions; wherever the Negroes
have fought against oppression and
for equal rights; wherever the poor
farmers have fought for improve
ment in their situation, there we
found the Daily Worker charnpioning
and leading the struggles.
The Daily Worker continuously,
during this entire period, pointed out
the road of developments in the
country, as well as internationally.
For instance, 1t pointed out clearly
what the present crisis is and where
it is leading to, showing to the entire
working class, poor farmers, etc, that
the policy of the capitalists and their
government was to try to get out Of
the crisis at the expense of the toll
ing masses and showing the toiling
masses how to organize and fight
against the worsening Of their con-
ditions.
Since August the Daily Worker has
been enlarged to six and eight page
paper and its contents improved. The
paper can now be taken to any worker
and his support asked for it. Not
Withstanding the fact that the
Daily" which has been the only
paper in the English language sup
porting all the struggles of the New
York workers which in the last few
months involved. fully 100000 workers,
only a portion of these workers read
it daily. This is not because these
workers would not read the paper if
given the opportunity, but because
the supporters Of the Daily" have
not brought the paper to these
workers.
A Tenth Anniversary celebration
for the Daily is being held on
Dec. Both at the Bronx Coliseum and
everyone reading these lines has the
duty to make this affair tremendous
success. But as important as this
affair is, it is even more important
to Systematically distribute the 100,-
900 copies of the 24-page special
Tenth Anniversary edition of Jan. 6,
which will be distributed in New
York City. If every organization, as
we'll as individual that supports the
Daily" gets behind this special dis
iribution which will reach tens Of
thousands that have never seen the
Daily" and then Systematically fol-
lows up this distribution for regular
leaders, there is no doubt but what
we will be able to double the circula-
ion of our Daily" in week or two.
Planned and systematic distribution
Of the Tenth Anniversary edition
especially in the trade unions, shops
basic industries, mass organizations
and neighborhoods and then a care
!ul follow-up of all those to whom
we sold the special edition will mean
that many thousands of them will
become regular readers. Every or
ganization should Immediately order
a substantial bundle of this special
edition.
BY doubling the circulation of tbs
Daily Worker in New York City we
will thereby more than double it as
propaganda, agitation and organ
zing force which will thus become q
more powerful weapon in the class
Struggle.

Kings Who Conquered.
KUBLAI KHAN.
MONG the grandsons Of Genghis
Khan was Kublai Khan, who

~ ruled over much OF Asia. The
4 n empire which his grandfather
had built up with fire and sword
had lost some of its size when Kublai
came to the throne. but the new Khan
(or EMPEROR waged wars in which his
armies won victories.
At the end OF his reign Kublai had
larger empire than Genghis Khan.
In fact, his empire was larger than any
which a ruler in Asia has ever had. 1t
stretched from Korea to the border of
Hungary, and from the Arctic Ocean
into Northern India
Kublai Khan was the first Mongol to
control both North and South China at
the same time. We may say that he
conquered" the Chinese, but in q larger
sense they conquered him. They taught
him their ways Of life. When he en-
tered their country to live he was in
