Through its columns we will reach the militant working men and work- ing women who have always quickly come to the aid of struggling workers everywhere. “During the Passaic strike, the New Bedford strike, Paterson strike and Miners’ strike, the Daily Worker has spread our message and helped to conduct our relief drives to a successful concluston, “The W.
