Trumbull, who together with Paul Crouch helped to form a Communist League among the: American soldiers in Hawaii, is now in a sanitarium suffering from tuberculosis. The original of this dis- ease may be traced to his experience in Al- eatraz Prison, where he and Crouch spent several years for their revolutionary ac- tivity. In a letter from the sanitarium he writes: : Dear Comrades :— Because I am at present a patient in the May- bury T. B. Sanitarium, I’ve been unable to make a contribution of my own, having no income.

If I could have helped more, I would have sent you more, but I just couldn’t. And if I ever get a job, I will help you the best T ean! Your sincere comrade, Bah DE PAWLIS. * . That The DAILY WORKER is really a workers’ newspaper, one that is important to and loved by the masses, is proven by the fact that very few of those who donated money to the fund spoke of pulling “you” through the crisis. Most of the letters read “T hope we will come through this crisis stronger than ever.” The workers of Amer- ica do not look upon The DAILY WORKER as something foreign to themselves. They identify themselves with it. Brooklyn, N. Y. Comradés :— ‘ Enclosed you will find a check for $31. This money was collected at the meeting of our sec- tion 7 last night.
