SALEM, O.-As one OF the work
er correspondents from Salem, 1
wish to state how the Daily Worker
helped to weld the workers more
closely together. at one Of the local
factories we have succeeded In or
ganizing the workers into the Steel
and Metal Workers Industrial Union.
Every meeting Of the local Daily
Worker representative sells the
Daily Worker. The workers gladly
buy the paper, and to the Salem
Unit Of the Communist Party it
means that here is the future mem
bership. To those workers who do
not understand the class struggle
and the true role Of the A. F.. of L..
the Daily Worker clarifies In their
minds what the Communist Party
means to them and dfminishes the
fear that the employers tnstill into
them about the Communists. The
Daily Worker tells them what road
to take when their conditions are
bad and wages are low. 1t tells of
struggles in various other sections
OF the country, hence they come
together in a more compact proup,
a group that understands that uni
ty and rank and file control of their
union assures them their immediate
demands.
In unemployed work the Daily
Worker tells what other unemployed
workers did. It tells of Unemployed
Councils fighting for adequate re-
lief, unemployment and social in
surance, 1t exposes the role of the
Musteites and their unwillingness to
unite into one unemployed move
ment. When local misleaders were
fooling the unemployed, the Daily
Worker was weapon exposing them
in their true light. Where problems
Of organization confronted the I'M
employed the Daily Worker con-
tanned experiences of unemployed
in other cities, thereby acting as in
Structor or textbook, a real school,
Many are the mistakes made in
organizing the Mullins Mfg. Co. The
Speed-up and low wages paid were
something fierce. When it was de-
clded to concentrate on this plant,
the Dolly Worker told how other
plants were organized ana we work
ers learned about the mistakes to
be avoided and succeeded in build
ing local in this plant. =
The C.WA. workers learn from
the Daily Worker of strikes in New
York and other places and how VIC
tories were won by fighting for
them. They protest about condi-
lions and win many demands with
out organization due to the bosses
knowing they read the Daily Work
er and would take the necessary
steps to win these demands.

BROOKLYN, N. Y. - Several
months ago wrote two articles
relating to conditions Of workers in
the New York Telephone Co. and
Loft Candy Stores. received the
information through sympathizer
who was describing to me the bad
working conditions forced upon tive
"irl friends of hers.
When the articles appeared In the
,aily Worker I forwarded copies tc
he sympathizer, asking her to give
hem to her friends who were work

In this way I utilized this cap;

any large city printing a letter from
a worker Of the U. s. Steel Co., for
instance, which exposes the pitiful
wages, the long torment of hours at
the machine, the inhuman slave
driving OF the straw bosses? No, but
you can see these same papers car
rying full-page advertising of
this same company on the part they
are doing to put across the N. R. A.
Well, here you have such a
paper. For ten years the Daily
Worker has been championing the
cause of labor-and for ten years
il has been able to do so because
t knows the conditions from which
.abor suffers, the problems labor
has to meet.
The Daily Worker Is the central
organ of the Communist Party. and
the policies of the Party are based
on the needs Of the workers as re-
vealed in their letters to the paper
ana to the Party.
Pageant Of Glass Struggle
IN digging into the history Of
Worker Correspondence in the
Daily Worker. we actually see the
pageant Of the class struggle deyel-
Oping over q period Of ten eyentful
years.
The very first issue of the Daily
Worker ten years ago carried an
appeal to the workers and farmers
to write. This appeal appears else
where in this issue.
While Madame Prosperity was
stu dancing to the tune of the
New Era" philosophy of the
employing class, the workers from
the mines and factories, the farm
ers from the open fields, were al
ready reporting lay-offs, increasing
unemployment. misery and starva-
ton. The effects Of the economic
crash, of deepening economic cri-
sis, were received through the Daily
Worker broadcasting systematic
worker correspondents.
The leaders OF the Communist
Party knew the value of these
worker correspondents. William j.
Foster and Israel Amter were in
Jail In the summer OF 1880 for the
crime Of leading the unemployed in
their crying demands for relief, and
for unemployment insurance. From
their cells, on Oct. 2, 1880, they ad-
dressed an appeal to worker corre-
spondents. They urged worker cor
respondents to do four things:

FARM REVOLT AND DAILY"
Months before the American peo-
pie were startled into realization
of the misery of the farmers BY
the stalwart struggles they had di-
rected against the bankers, insur-
nee companies, and uSurers, the
farmers had already written theil
stories OF misery to the Daily
Worker, asking for leadership TO Or
ganize and fight. The Communist
Party based its policies for organic
Ing the farmers and for meeting
their problems In the columns OF
the Daily Worker on these letters

| pressed their love and devotion to
the Daily Worker, and recognized
1t as their leader in their struggles.
We can still read in the columns
OF the Daily Worker in 1892 their
regret that they are so poor that
they cannot even afford the few
pennies they need for buying the
Daily each day.
In 1882 came the tremendous
hunger march on the Wall Street
Hoover Hunger Government. Hoo
yer tried to stop this march Of the
unemployed. He issued orders to the
local authorities In every state in
the country, to stop the march by
all means available.
The worker correspondents OF the
Daily Worker ruChe6 in their re-
ports Of terror against the prepara-
tons for the march from all over
the country. They told how workers
In various places fought against the
terror, and continued their prepa-
rations in spite of it. The Daily
Worker took up determined strlg-
gle against this terror and mobil-
lied the workers to defeat it.
EXPOSED PROSPERITY

And who was it who exposed
Hoover's desperate campaign to
cover up the crisiS-the famous
prosperity around the corner -
bunk, the fairy tales Of coming
wage rises, or decreasing unemploy-
ment? Workers don't live on fairy
tales. They live on hard, cold facts.
And these hard, cold facts came in
to the Daily" scrubbed on bits of
wrapping paper, on the backs of
envelopes, and on the edge of news
papers.
More space was given over in the
Daily Worker to letters from the
workers during this period than
ever before in its history. The pages
OF the Daily Worker during 1882 are
filled with the workers own reports
on forced labor conditions; on food

hospitals; denial of free speech:
discrimination against foreign-born
workers on the job; the loss of
homes by owners of small homes:

 ''Soup will be the subject of the lesson-sermon.
 The Golden Text Is taken from Psalms S6:4: Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, o Lord, do lift up my soul.'
 Selections from the Bible include the following passages from Job 54:2, 1O-12: Hear my words, o ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. :. There fore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: for be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and fro mthe Almighty, that he should commit iniquity. For, the work of man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. Yes, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the, Almighty pervert judgment"
 Correlative readings from tLs Christian Science textbook, "Sci. ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures' by Mary Baker Eddy. include the following from page BIO: -12-26: "Soul changeth not. We are commonly. taught that there is a human soul which sins and is spiritually lost,-that soul may be lost, and yet be immorta. If Soul could win, Spirit, Soul, would be flesh instead of Spirit. l. is the belief of the flesh and of material sense which sins. If Soul sinned, Soul would die. Sin is the element of self-destruction, and spiritual death is oblivion. If there was sin in Soul, the annihilation of Spirit would be inevitable."

Weekly Sunday School Lesson JESUS POWER TO HELP

his deeds, is free from the criticism of those whose religion moves in the realm of form and prejudice.
 In proportion as the religion of men is loveless, they are bitter against ohes who dare to speak of religion in terms of reality and love. Jesus, in healing the man sick of the palsy, assured the un- fortunate man of good cheer, be- cause his sins were forgiven.
 The idea that any man could forgive sins reused the convention ally religious to wrath. If Jesus had no power to forgive sins they might at least have let the matter pass without great ado, but that is not the way of the narrow and the bigotedA
 To them matter of that, sort was much more important than the healing of a fellow mortal from a dread disease, and when Jesus manifested his power in the healing of the man 1t made no diff. ference to them. Their hearts still were full of bigotry, and they hated and perescuted Jesus.
 How different was the reaction of the multitude. many of whom, no doubt, made no great profession of religion! When they saw that the man was healed, they marveled, and they glorified God because he had given such power to heal.
 Following this incident we have recorded the call of Matthew, who, we are told, was sitting at the re- ceipt of customs. A teacher of re- ligion, who could lure man away from a government job to accept all the uncertainties and perils of allegiance to prohpet proclaim ing what seemed to be a new sort of religious teaching, indeed must have been great.
 The incident was all the more remarkable, inasmuch as the friends of Matthew apparently were not those who were recog- nized as particularly religious.
 We do not know just where Jesus went when Matthew arose and followed him, but we have the description of his being entertained in a house where many who were not among the conventionally reli- gious and who were described as publicans and sinners sat down. The chances are that some of these had witnessed the miracle and had heard the words of Jesus and were drawn either by curiosity or by some inner response to a greatness they perceived in Jesus himself.
 
 Such a sight was too much for the proud people who had faith in their own righteousness and who looked down upon those who were not as good as themselves. They could not withhold their in- dignation, but asked the disciples why Jesus should eat in that way with publicans and sinners. With what plain effective words Jesus answered them! t"They that be whole need not phgsi- elan. but they that are sick"
 The man whose goodness takes him away from his fellow men and leads him to distrust or despise others well may doubt the gen. uniness of his own goodness.
 The greatest souls in history have been large and tolerant in their human contacts. They have felt their kinship with the sinful and with the poor and the needy. and even at the heights of their re- ligious experience, when they have viewed the high standard of Christ, they have cried with real sheer ity, God be merciful to me a sim ner."
