MOulderS Demand
The Daily Worker
(By a Worker Correspondent

ROME, Ga, Feb. 1.-The article
that appeared in the Daily Worker
on the strike OF the 500 iron moulders
IN this town made a big hit among
the workers. The workers say, 1.-THE
Daily Worker is the only paper to
carry a real account of our strike"
There is a Daily Worker now in
every strike tent. The workers read
it eagerly. Some have already sub
scribed for the Daily" and many
others say they will do SO as soon as
they get back to work.
The strike, now in its ninth week,
has affected four out of the five Rome
stove foundrieS. The strikers were
ordered by officials of the Interna-
tional Moulders Union to go back to
work, but refused to do so. Expert
ence has taught them that they can
not expect honest leadership from the
I. M. u, or favorable results from the
negotiations between the bosses, the
I. M. U. leadership and the N. r. A.
Labor Board.
BY showing UP the strike breaking
role played by the officials of the l.
M. u, the Daily Worker rooted itself
deep in the hearts of the striking
moulders. They recognize the Daily"
as their paper and as an effective
weapon in their hands for developing
militancy and unity within their
ranks. Most of the strikers never saw
Daily Worker before.
We hail our Daily Worker that
fights for us. We urge every class
conscious worker everywhere to carry
our Daily to their fellow workers
as We are doing in Georgia, and put
