evening was turned into a discussion
Of election issues when q girl COM

A girl worker had tried to per-

were the true issues in the campaign,
and won the promise of a majority

By q Railway Express Correspondent
NEW YORK.-While resting at the
Pennsylvania Smoking Room hap
pened to come across your Daily
Worker. Reading the Daily Worker
for the first time, it struck me as d
fine paper and just the one l could
trust with my story.
I've been In the employ of the
Railway Express Agency for II years,
on the vehicles. AL of us up to
that length of service are laid off,
according to the seniority roster.
Last November, 1882, we were thrown
out. We were brought back last
month for q couple of weeks. And
now we find ourselves on the street
once more.
The official magazine called the
Express Messenger" declares in the
current issue: eve do our part and
are cooperating with the President. y
The company Is owned by our lead
ing railroads-and therefore not a
member of the N. r. A.-but instead
is under supervision of the Railway
Labor Act. We were originally rep
resented by progressive labor union,
the Railroad Brotherhood. They later
lost jurisdiction on our Job, on &C
count Of protests made by those
arch-fakers who represent us at this
writing, the International Brother
hood OF Transfers, Local No. 808.
The officials of No. 805, Tom Lyons
and Dick Sheerin, work hand in
glove with the Express Agency bosses.
Last week a group of furloughed
workers visited the Federal Co-ordin-
ator to plead that he intercede for
our reinstatement. He could not
help us-and suggested, after an ex-
pose OF the union-that we bore from
within and GUST the officials and
thereby enable us to insist on our
rights. But he was not aware of the
gangster tactics pursued by this local.
This Sunday at 8 pm. at Beethoven
Hall Local 808 held membership
meeting for nomination of officers,
but we we're not permitted entrance.
I would be grateful if your worthy
paper allowed us publicity for our
demands for an immediate inyestiga-
ton of Local 808-and its corrupt Of
ficialdom.

Worker Says 'Daily" Means
As Much to Him AS Bread

NEW YORK-'"TTle Daily Worker

writes John Kappe from Phoenix,

His letter is as follows:

for $40 for a years subscription for

Worker means for me as much as
cur daily bread. Use the rest for the

Cab Drivers Help
A group of Chicago cab drivers
who put their quota at SIS, sent in
another 81, making it SO SO far in
all, out of their meager earnings.
I'VE read with much interest in the
Daily Worker" they write, "of the
growing militancy of the New York
taxi-men." They ask that no receipts
be sent until their quota is completed
so as to save their Daily Worker
postage expense.
An entertainment at the home OF
Frances Lingren in far of Hood
River, Oregon, netted the Daily
Worker s752.
New Reader Helps
A seventy-year-old worker who
started reading the Daily Worker only
recently sent 81 to help the fighting
working class paper live. The dollar
Yves collected by A. StofTenbeach, who
obtains contributions and subscrip-
tons for our Daily Worker.
The Drive, however. is on the whole
very slow. Hold affairs, contribute
