HOW THE DAILY"
DEFICIT HAS BEEN
CUT BY ONE-THIRD
Economies Effected +;
Action Now Will Save
Fighting Paper

What has the Daily Worker done
to cut down its deficit-the gap be-
tween income and expenditure?
When workers, in the midst of the
greatest economic crisis in history,
are being asked to contribute their
pennies, TO make what in many cases
are big personal sacrifices to prevent
their paper from going out Of ex-
istence, they have a right to ask
for an accounting. They have a right
to say: We know that the Daily
Worker, with its present circulation,
is run at loss. But what has the
Daily" done to cut down this deficit
to as low figure as possible?
For years the weekly deficit Of the
Daily Worker has been about 81 300.
But recently tbs has been cut to
about S1,200-a one-third reduction.
How?
Subs, Bundles Recognized.
The whole system of subscriptions
and bundle orders has been reor-
ganized so that it now rests on a
firm financial basis. Districts and
cities have been made strictly &C.
countable for all orders they place;
expired subscriptions are being
checked up and serious efforts made
to secure renewals.
How real this reorganization has
been may be seen from the fact that
in the past, bundle orders and sub
scriptionS were only SO per cent paid
for. Now bundle orders are about
go Per cent paid up and subs about
95 per cent. This has been the
greatest factor in cutting down the
deficit.
Office Expenses Cut.
Expenses have also been reduced
about $75 week by recognizing the
Daily Worker business office and
placing it on a more efficient basis.
AS a result, instead of the 10 people
who formerly worked in the business
office, it was possible to release six
for work in other fields, and the en-
tire functioning of the Office has
been greatly improved.
Additional improvements are be-
ing planned which may cut the de-
ficit still more, but essentially the
loss involved in getting out the Daily
Worker, which. unlike the capitalist
papers, has no big advertisers to sup
port it, can be wiped out only by
increasing the circulation and sub
scriptions.
Need Action.
Right now the emergency situation
demands immediate action to save
the Daily" The great struggles
facing the American toilers demands
it, The fight for relief and unem-
ployment insurance, against evic-
tions, against the wage-cuts looming
in steel, railroads and other indus
tries, the fight for the release of the
Scottsboro boys and Tom Mooney,
the fight to free the Philippines from
Wall Street domination, the strug-
giles against the new war which
threatens the worlds workers and
the country of the worlds workers,
the Soviet Union-all these great
struggles declare with one mighty
voice: THE DAILY WORKER MUST
LIvEl
It's up to you, fellow workers, to
you and your friends. We have done
everything possible to reduce the de-
ficit and keep the paoer going be-
fore turning to YOU. Now it's life or

must come quick and strong!

Must SAGE 'Daily", Our
Staunch Fighter TUUL

The capitalist press and the press of the "sociasts'
sandered the workers who fighting for their very
lives and the lives of their families But the Daily
Worker stood and stands now like buwark against
the lies of the capitalist and socia-fascis press
THE suspension of the Daily Worker would mean that
in the coming big strike struggles the capitalist
would have free sway spread its vicious poison
against the workers engaged in struggle without any
voice of the workers to counteract that poison.
1t would mean that the unemployed workers in their
fight for relief and unemployment insurance at the
expense Of the bosses and the government would lose
one OF their main weapons in that struggle.
The fight of the A. F. of L. rank and file workers
against the corruption and treachery Of the bureau
cracy would be seriously hampered with no Daily
Worker to aid and lead them.
We cannot therefore stand by without doing every
thing in our power to put the Daily Worker drive for
$685. 900 the top.
The Trade Union Unity League urges that in every
local, shop and unemployed section of the revolu-
tonary trade unions and leagues the fight to save
the Daily Worker-our Daily Worker-be taken up
1t urges all revolutionary workers to contribute to the
fullest extent to the Daily Worker drive.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, January Some
brokers today expressed the view that
Improvement in the bond market was
a cue for higher prices in the share
market. Others, sounding note OF
caution, suggested that sustained
rally was dependent on constructive
news from Washington.
Shields g. Goa cautious policy
should be followed, with profits &C
cepted whenever periods of active raj
lies ere experienced.
Hamershlag Borg & Cove feel
that more definitely constructive news
must come from Washington before
real confidence can be felt.
Thomson e. McKinnon.-The action
of the bond market together with that
OF grain, should contribute to the raj
lying power of stocks.
Redmond & Co.--Some trade i'm
provement or outstandingly construc-
tive news must develop shortly If the
advance is to be maintained.
Frazier Jelke & Co.-The improved
tone in the market is decidedly en-
couraging, particularly since it is sup
ported by a much improved bond
market and gathering strength in the
railroad shares.
