For years the Communict Party and the Daily Worker have been in the forefront of every drive of the workers against wage-cuts and for higher wages, shorter hours and better conditions, Our Party and our Daily have constituted the principal driving force in all the important struggles of the working class since the birth of our paper. Hundreds of thousands of workers have been able to benefit directly because of the publicity of our columns has resulted in raising enormous strike relief funds to keep away the spectre of hunger and want so that strikers could continue the fight for their ele- mentary rights. Every worker knows that The Daily Worker has never failed him in time of dire need. Tens of thousands, | when they were unable to buy a paper in order to try'to keep in touch with happenings in the world received The Daily Worker free. Hundreds of working class prisoners, suffer- ing in the bastilles of capitalism have been cheered by the presence of the Daily and the knowledge that their cases received the widest publicity in its columns. Long-term prisoners have been cheered by books, clothing and other necessities and prison “luxuries” sent them because their needs were made known through the columns of the Daily. If all those workers who have directly or indirectly bene- fitted through the existence of The Daily Worker were to be asked whether the Daily should suspend because of a answer would be: THE DAILY MUST NOT BE PERMITTED TO DIE! But the situation is such today that unless aid is imme- diately received the Daily is in the greatest danger of sus- pension. In spite of the fight we have put up for our class in its fight against capitalist tyranny we today face! the gravest danger of suspension. It is imperative that all Party members who have not yet contributed to the One Day’s Pay Assessment do so at once, and that ali sympathizers who have been benefitted by The Daily Worker now come to its assistance financially— let every reader give one day’s pay also. You know you would not like to have to enter your next strike without The Da | Worker. But unless you act quickly The Daily will perish before your next strike is called. | RALLY TO SAVE ‘DAILY’ ‘But Response of Few Is Not Enough While the response to the Daily’s we omit his name, gives the Daily a ;appeals for aid has not been, on the|check for $5, with the explanation whole, as immediate and as wide- that he has been slaving so many |spread as was expected, the generos-| hours that he has not had enough ity of those comrades who have! ambition left at the end of the day come to its rescue, often at the cost| to address an envelope. revolutionary leadership they received from our press.
