THE militant struggles Of the I'M
i employed throughout the coun-
try, from San Francisco to Boston,
from Birmingham to Chicago, have
been led in great measure by the
Daily Worker, the fighting organ
of the working class of this coun-
try. Who can imagine the National
Hunger March of last year and
particularly of this year without
the daily guidance and inspiration
of the Daily Worker?
After the speech of Comrade
Foster on Sept. 10 in Chicago dur
ing the election campaign, when
he suggested National Hunger
March, bonus march and a con-
ference of toiling farmers. The Ma
tional Committee of the Unem-
ployed Councils worked out plans,
which were broadcast to the work
ers in the 1900 towns and cities
of the country in which there are
readers of the Daily Worker. This
meant a stimulation to organiza-
ton and struggle. ! 1t meant the
arousing of the masses against the
hunger program of the bosses and
their government. 1t meant the
continued mobilization OF these
workers and the starving masses
for the fight for relief in the
cities, counties and states, which
will force the government to grant
adequate relief and unemployment
insurance.
ENEMIES ARE
ON THE JOB
The Daily Worker is not merely a
workers newspaper 1t is an agita-
tor, propaganda and an Organiz-
er. The enemies of the working
class movement are on the job.
Hooyer's commission report on ''re-
cent social trends" has issued its
report. These people recognize that
the situation was not, and in the
crisis is not, such that masses Of
workers can live. The workers
will have to get used to a lower
standard of living" it declares.
The demagogues are on the job:
they are preparing programs and
activities whose intention is NOT
to aid the workers, but to keep
the unemployed from action under
the leadership of the Unemployed
Councils. President elect Roose-
welt has an unemployment insur-
ance" plan; the American Fedora
ton of Labor has a scheme. The
governors of the various states are
not to be outdone. The Socialist
Party and Musteite "self-help"
schemes to relieve the bosses of the
need of providing for the unem-
ployed; the Stuart Chase and other
mutual aid plans-all of them are
being exposed and blasted by the
Daily Worker.
In word, without the aid of
the fighting organ, the Daily
Worker, the work of the Unem-
pioyed Councils and the strug-
giles of the unemployed could not
be carried on with efficiency, the
enemies be exposed and routed.
THIS does not mean that the en-
L emieS are yet routed-far from
it. The deepening crisis is forcing
them to use more demagogy. They
are fighting in the determination
to lower the standard of living Of
the workers, to put the unemployed
on charity rations. They will grant
more only il the workers fight.
This demands the broadest united
front activity. What can aid more
in this struggle than the Daily
Worker, our collective organizer?
But now the Daily Worker is in
financial straits. Not merely can
it not expand as the situation de-
mands, 1t Is in danger of Suspen-
sion. This danger can and will be
met, and none feel the need more
keenly than the Unemployed Coun-
ellis and the unemployed workers.
THEIR organ, THEIR fighter, can
not be allowed to fail in this sit
uation-with misery deepening, the
crisis extending, with war against
the Soviet Union threatening.
ALL MUST AID
The local and neighborhoOd
Unemployed Councils, the block
committees, the committees in
the unions and fraternal organ
izations, must come to the aid of
the Daily Worker. Aid to the
Daily Worker is also aid in the
struggle for relief and insurance.
Make collections, arrange affairs
follow out the suggestions in
the Daily Worker. Get subs for
the Daily Worker. The campaign
for $4,000 for the Daily Worker
must be participated in with all
energy.
We will not only help the Daily
Worker over this crisis-we must
put the Daily Worker on basis
that will not only ensure its pub
LEGATION. but increase its size and
circulation and make it the agi-
tator, propagandist and collective
organizer of the broadcast masses Of
workers of this country.
