AWorker Should Read The | Daily Worker Because No Other Paper Gives Your Side of Labor’s Struggles; Because No other Paper Fights Enemies 24 Hours Every Day; Because The DAILY. WORKER Shows the Way Out of Your Difficulties, 1, Because, The DAILY WORKER fights for higher wages, shorter hours, better conditions, not merely in words, but with acts. It goes into the factory with you, it enters the fleet owner’s garage, it goes down into the coal mines—everywhere the bosses fear it, 2. Because this paper is now a power in the labor movement. It has helped to defeat scores of labor fakers; it has exposed the bosses’ agents in the ranks of the workers; it has shown the way in all of labor's struggles. 8. Because The DAILY WORKER fights against the old political parties, the republican party of biggest’ boss exploita~ tion of the workers, the democratic party of Tammany graft, the socialist party of little business and united front with the labor fakers—because it fights for a real workers’ party, a Communist Party. 4. Because The DAILY WORKER has been the active sup- porter of the great struggles in which labor has engaged in the last four years. It has thrown all its energies and resources into the great mine strike; it is organ pointing the way to the textile strikers; it is with the needle trades workers in their fight on two fronts; it is in all the fights. For the workers— against the bosses. 5. Because The DAILY WORKER gives you the only reliable news of the Soviet Union, the’ fatherland of all workers, the country in which the workers have already taken power and are building up a new world fit to live in for those who toil. 6. Because The DAILY WORKER is the official organ of the Workers (Communist) Party, the only Party of the Work- ing Class in America; because the Communists alone have the right policies for the workers and the courage to fight for these - policies in the factories, in the mines, in the offices, on the ~ political field. te
