RUTHENBERG General Secretary, Workers (Communist) Party. fy Ue districts of the party have raised close to 50% of their quota of t# the Keep The DAILY WORKER Fund. Three other districts are below PR0% of the quota acsigned to them. Here are the figures showing the quota of Rhe district based upon'the members in the districts, the amounts they have wollected and the percehtage of their quota collected thus far: DONATIONS TO OCTOBER 30, District Quota Amount Raised Percentage District No. 1 4 4,000.00 $ 716.00 * 7.9 District No. 2 . - 15,000.00 3,092.50 20.6 District No. 3 .. 3,000.00 1,380.04 46 District No. 4 . 1,100,000 418.25 38 District No. 6 . 2,500.00 510.39 20.4 District ‘No. 6 . 3,000.00 448.83 114 District No. 7 . 2,509.00 1,226.05 49 District No. 8 .. 7,500.00 3,413.06 45 District No. 9 .. 3,500.00 680.10 19.4 District No. 1,000.00 493.10 49.3 District No. 2,500.000 221.10 8.6 District No. 3,000.00 703,25 23.4 District No. 15 ... 1,000.00 151.00 15 Agricultural District 400.00 169.00 40.8 OTANS esiigs ws $13,644.27 27.28 The table throws light on who Is giving support to Keep The DAILY WORKER. Seattle seems less Interested insofar as the work done so far is concerned than any other district of the party. Next In lack of activity to support the Keep The DAILY WORKER Fund are the comrades of Cleve- eat who have ohly raised 11.6%. The Connecticut membership showed an qual lack of interest, having thus far raised only 15% of their quota. Next! in line, with a little better showing but still a very poor showing, re the members of the Boston district, the “Minneapolis district, the New ‘ork district, the Pittsburgh district and San Franciseo district, all of whom ted only supported The DAILY WORKER to the extent of the strength of of the membership of the district. The best district in the country in supporting The DAILY WORKER S Ws the Kaneas Gity district, with 49.8% of Its quota already collected. Next mn Chicago” yoomes Detroit with 499% collected, Philadelphia Is thitd with, Hrlets which are far behind in the list must immediately take ‘erlais whieh It le facing AND TO KEEP THE DAILY WORKER. MBs membership In Kansas Clty, Detroit, Chicago and Philadelphia yeould raise nearly 50% of the quota for their district In six week's time; why tehould not New York, Boston, Cleveland, Minneapolis, New Haven, Seattle wand San Francisco do the same thing? The DAILY WORKER is the fighting, revolutionary organ of our whole party and every section of the party must give it equal support. Those dis- ‘ricts which are far. behind in the list must immediately take steps for bet- ter organizational support of the Keep The DAILY WORKER campaign. ‘The membership in these districts must take up more energetically the sell- Ing of The DAILY WORKER Certificates, For Kansas City, Detroit, Philadelphia and Chicago the goal for the month of November must be to raise thelr total to the 100% mark. If the eampalgn in these dietricts is pushed with continued energy and the mo- mentum kept up, there is no reason why these districts should not go over the top by the end of November. Every party member should study the above table carefully and then make himself a committee of one to stir up action In hie district In, support ‘of the Keep The DAILY WORKER campaign. Every committee in the die- tricts which have fallen below so badiy must take up the Keep The DAILY WORKER campaign with new energy. 4f every district had done what Kansas City, Detroit, Philadeiphia and Chleago has done, The DAILY WORKER would be well out of the crisis which it still faces, because the other districts have not given the same support. Instead of still fighting to Keep The DAILY WORKER, we would be oarry- ing on the campaign to put It on a sound foundation for the next year with a better and bigger paper to serve our movement. . The end of the month of November must show a different standing of the situation. Funds must be rushed to The DAILY WORKER by all party poor showing can by energetic action win a better position and show they really want to Keep The DAILY WORKER. The districte which have given the best support must strain every bit of energy to go over the top with 100% quota. Because of the uneven support which the Keep The DARLY WORKER campaign has received The DAILY WORKER is still in a serious critical situatino. Funds must be rushed to The DAILY WORKER by all party * nuclei which have made collections and the work of collecting $5.00 per mom- ber Intensified. In those districts in which the members are far behind the work of ald- ‘ing The DAILY WORKER to overcome the present difficulties must be taken up with the will of catching up on their quota and thus carrying The DAILY WORKER thru Its financial difficulties, F - “sf THE WHOLE PARTY WILL GET BEHIND THE “KEEP THE DAILY WORKER" DRIVE, WE CAN WIN THE STRUGGLE AND KE: OUR MOST IMPORTANT WEAPON IN THE REVOLUTIONARY STRUGGLE AGAINST CAPITALISM IN THIS COUNTRY. ‘ By T.
