In our movement and much pious
repetition OF a well-known quotation
from Lenin about bolshevik paper
being 4 collective organizer, as well
as collective agltator and propa.

these words into action was regarded
as a routine task, involving no real

The Open Letter to the Party mem
bers sent a great gust Of fresh air
sweeping through the Party, cleaning
out the cohweos and accumulated
Gust of years.
One Of the sore spots that the Open
Letter exposed was the situation in
regard to the Daily Worker In q
period of advancing crisis, when new
tens of thousands Of workers and
other sections of the toiling popula-
ton were being drawn into struggle,
the circulation Of the onlv WORKING
class dolly in Fnqlish had actually
declined. Drastic action was needed.
A New Daily" Is Born.
One month after the Cpeu Letter,
q new Daily Worker was born, an
enlarged, improved, dynamic Daily"
that would interest even the most
backward workers,
Was this ell that the Open Letter
ldcTne nded Ct Us? Were these changes
by themselves CROUCH to achieve
mass circulation for the Daily Worker,
and convert our PAPER into that COL
1ective agitator, propagandist and CT
ranizer we have 50 long talked about?
Let US see how the Detroit District
answered these questions.
If you read the resolutions adopted
by our district. section and unit con-
ference, YOU won't find 2 single one

IN the very center Of cur concentra-

part of orr efforts to build the Party

day-to-day struggles of the workers.
How have these resolutions been car
ried out?

20, 40 new Daily Worker subscrip-

Detroit, bllt 80 old ones were lost.
2. The Daily Worker was not sold
regularly at q single factory.
3. During this period the sales of
the paper increased by about 100,
not because OF any special efforts in
this direction, but entirely as a re-

Another excellent example of q
direct, human appeal to the audience
was comrade PROVIDERS speech at the

gift of understanding that we do not

Job Conditions
By a Worker Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-In the laundry
industry the A. F. of L. members of
the rank and file on October IL
voted on strike for higher wages for
the truck drivers. The leaders of the
A. F. of L. Laundry Workers Inter
national Union did not notify the
rest of the workers in the laundries
and the bosses put over a fast one
by locking out the workers.
The routes of the drivers were
made longer and the hours were
heightened without higher pay. They
took of trucks In every laundry and
doubled the routes.

gin, both Michael Gold and Edward
Newhouse receiving eight votes each,

John NJ, Omaha.-There is no
harm in taking one ounce Of Carlsbad
salts in a gallon of water. But don't
imagine it's the salt that made you
feel better. It's the water. Anybody
suffering from rheumatism will i'm
prove from drinking plenty of pure
water, without any imported salts in
it. incidentally, you can make
Carlsbad salts yourself by mixing 10

Letters from Readers
PRAISE FOR THE DAILY FROM
A PARTY NINE LEADER
n NUM- INV I 4 MIMI
Dear Comrade Editor:

Dear Comrade Editor:
Under separate cover I am mailing
you a copy of the Fighting Miner"
organ of the left-wing miners of
America. We appreciate the exchange
for the Daily Worker,
My impressions of the new Daily
Worker is that it has made a ire
mendous step forward, Frankly speak
ing, I seldom ever read the news
articles in the old Daily" The edi-
torials and feature articles were my
main interest. Now, however, the
news articles are great asset to me.
The news articles sparkle with life,
and, above all, with tone of truth
flllness. Take DUNES articles, for
instance. They stand out as the best
labor reports on the A. F. of L. con-
vention. Articles by Sender Garlin,
Harry Cannes, and Mike Colds COL
unln are big features. The editorials
are beginning to speak the American
language. The sport news should not
be SO famboyantly reported. The pic
lures are original and timely.
In all, the Daily Worker has the
making of a paper that no class-con
scious worker in America can afford
to miss reading, even for one day.

Then things begin to happen. You

This going and doing lot Of things al

Of activities In everyday language you
call It trembling with fear" After
you go into action, you soon become

both.
It seems that your adrenal glands
empty . small quantity OF powerful
substance into the blood stream. Thia
substance = known - adreualin. ii
business Is to carry messages to the
fighting parts-the heart, arms, 1eGs,
eyes, nostriA, jaws, hair muscles.
The heart = speeded up, taking blood
away from the skin and sending it to
the muscles OF the legs, arms and Jaws.
That's why you become 'blanched With
fear" except for the red streaks which
may appear along the neck and Jaw
muscles.
When you are really afraid, your eyes
seem to pop out" This enhances

to our great dismay, that the President
had played q joke on us. Instead OF
waiting for the regular train to which
his private car was to be attached he
had ordered q special engine and left
the city before we were up. There was
no train making connections on which
we could follow for eight hours.
There we were high and dry in
Memphis, with our charge speeding
away to the wilderness. To add to our
telegraphers' strike and it was difncult
to get dispatches through under any
conditions.

La, where the President was to embark
and strike out for the hunting grounds
He was Senator Joseph E. Ransdell,
then In the House, later in the Senate,
and now retired to private life.

he gave me detailed account Of every
thing that happened upon the Presi-
dents arrival there, even describing the
kind Of togs he wore when he mounted
