Warner, of the U. S. Navy Department. They are deeply concerned about the intense pressure being brought to bear by the Daily Worker Army of Detroit upon the Ford fortifications. Under the leadership of one of the ablest generals on our field staff, Sarah Victor, the strategie center of our capitalist enemy is : undergoing a steady bombardment. Hundreds of Ford workers, driven to desperation by the monotony and nerve-racking speed-up system, have seized with enthusiasm the Daily Worker, and have begun to read it daily. From the columns. of the Daily Worker, they receive daily inspiration for their efforts to form a union, to protect themselves against the encroachments of this most ruthless ezar of capitalism. From the Daily Worker they receive the news of other battlefronts. The drive for Five Thousand New Readers for the Daily Worker, which is being enthusiastically pushed by the militant soldiers of the Daily Worker Army, will occasion ever increasing concern among the generals of capitalism.
