DAILY WORKER: NEW YORK, THURSDAY, 2000 STILL IN FIGHT DESPITE BOSSES’ THREATS Social- Democrats Praise Gov’t “ BUDAPEST, Hungary, Jan. 2.— For over a month now 0,000 workers in the largest mines in} Hungary—Salgetarjan, Pecs and Pilisveereesvar — have been on strike. The struggle in the two first named mines has now ended with a partial victory for the workers. : The 2,000 workers in the last named mines, which is the prop- erty of Belgian capitalists, are still on strike despite the fact that the employers are able to exercise great pressure on the workers be- cause of the semi-feudal conditions in the neighborhood. The employers declare that unless work is resumed immediately they will consider all the representatives of the workers as dismissed. This threat, the militancy of the workers. In the last days the social-demo- | cratic press has been full of hymns of praise addressed to the finance minister of the reactionary gov- ernment. The partial success , of the workers is ascribed by the % cial-democrat press exclusively to the mediation of the finance min- ister, who is showered with servile thanks from the social-democrats. ‘DAILY’INCHICACO OUT TO BEAT N.Y.

A. Krieger, Chicago Daily Worker agent. The fifth anniversary of the “Daily” is being used to mobilize the entire Party, he said. 30,000 copies of the anniversary issue are being ordered for special distribu- tion before factory gates on Satur- day, Jan. 12, and in a house-to-house canvass the next day, in proletarian sections, In this distribution the names and addresses of “candidates” will: be secured and they will re- ceive the paper free for a trial per- iod of two weeks. Krieger continued: “This basic Communist activity will result in bringing thousands of workers into contact for the first time, with the only labor newspaper published every day in the English |* language. At the same time, it will! be the means of establishing Party connections with hundreds of work- ers who will have become new read- ers of our Party press, and almost cértain recruits for our Party. “When the Daily Worker, and later the National Office, moved to New York, it seemed like a good deal of heart was taken out of all radical activities; and, of course, the worst to suffer was the Daily Work- er. The Chicago comrades seemed to lose interest as well as pride in their national organ. Subscriptions lapsed and newsstand sales dimin- ished. In many cases the Party units did not show enough interest in this phase of our Party activity to even elect a functioning Daily Worker agent. “But now—all this has not com- pletely changed, but a change is un- questionably taking place in the at- titude of the Chicago comrades to- wards. the Daily Worker. Slowly, but surely, our organization of tech- nicians, our Daily Worker agents, is being molded. And gradually, but certainly, the entire Party member- ship is being drawn into active par- ticipation in the task of building the Daily Worker. “Chicago is staging a comeback! Watch our smoke!” 132,682 Flu Cases for . Week; Believed to be One-fifth of Total WASHINGTON, Jan. 2 (UP).—A new total of- 132,682 influenza cases for the week ending Dec. 29 was an- nounced late today by the United States Public Health Service on the ‘basis of reports from 30 states and New York City. Reports received | today gave Missouri 1,774 cases and| Kentucky, 10,585 for the week. These official figures are believed | by Health Service officials to repre-' sent only about one-fifth of the ac- tual cases in the states reporting.

What a_ fool! Would he expect the bosses to treat |the Daily Worker like a darling} child and give it thousands of dol- \lars so it could fight them better? The bosses are too class-conscious, capitalist class-conscious, for that. But what about the workers? Are they equally conscious of the inter- ests of their class, are they doing their damndest to keep the Daily Worker alive? Bill had been out of worn for weeks and nearly all his money was gone. But the Daily Worker was celebrating its fifth anniver- sary~and he must do his share. Lucky he hadn’t missed it; only a couple of days left. He pulled out a dollar bill and sent it off imme- diately as a birthday greeting to the “Daily.” And the next day he went around to see his friends and collected more birthday donations. And he wrote to the “Daily”: “Here are some birthday greet- ings to keep my dream frcm com- ing true!” jit! * * Fellow-workers, are you doing your damndest to keep the Daily Worker alive? Or are you going to let ill do this job alone? He couldn’t, you know, even if he wanted to. The time is short.

F. of L. could only see Red instead of Green, there would be an executive council in about a year that would represent the interests of labor and not the interests of the employers. This is spoken advisedly, as the way Green is interested in blind | workers is as follows: The A. F. of | L. has united with the National So- ciety for the Prevention of Blind- ness, to campaign against blindness caused by preventable industrial hazards. But why? For the work- ers benefit? Far be it from such! Green does it, quite frankly, for the employers. He says: “The industries of this country are at present paying approximately $10,000,000 compensation to work- men who have been blinded while at work.” So Green rushes in to save | the bosses this heavy expense.
