Page Four THE DAILY WORKER DANGER AHEAD! — FINISH THE JOB! A red light has been turned on in the signal tower... Danger ahead! THE DAILY WORKER train is gathering up speed. The rails are smooth. The tracks seem clear. But, danger ahead! Far away, around the bend, a crew of laborers are laying rails and hammering in spikes. Their job is not finished. Can they get thru in time to let the train pass? . NOT UNLESS THEY HAVE MORE HELP! NOT UNLESS THERE IS A UNITED FRONT! ° Three months ago, the DAILY WORKER sent out its first call for help. Since that time, almost $20,000”has been received. But $30,000 more is vitally needed to carry the paper thru the coming year. on 1’ If ALL of the Workers Party branches,-if ALL of the DAILY WORKER readers, had done their part in the past, the work would be complete now. Only half have acted. Therefore, half of the job is still to Be done,—over half, for not all of the militants worked full strength. »: There are FIFTEEN DAYS left. Time to have branch meetings! Time to make a special canvass of party members to see that not one fails to buy a policy! Time for each reader to send in his dollar! And that is time enough! re More Laborers Needed! Danger ahead! But there is time to escape it. There are 988 branches in the Workers Party. There are 25,000 readers of the paper. And there are only $30,000 needed. When the cable of congratulation goes to the Comintern, will the DAILY WORKER be able to say, “EVERY party member, EVERY DAI- LY WORKER reader, joins with us in celebrating the sixth C.
