Shall the Daily suspend—with the danger of war looming in the immediate present? Shall the Daily suspend—in the face of the at- tempt to railroad 15 workers in Gastonia to the elec- tric chair? Shall the Daily suspend—at a time when the workers are facing ever increasing attacks by the bosses, their police and gunmen, and their Right Wing Allies? UPON YOU DEVOLVES THE ANSWER. Publication of the paper means increasing sacri- fices on the part of all members and sympathizers of the Party and Daily. The minimum of one day’s wage for members of the Party and substantial contribution at least equiva- lent to a day’s wage must be forwarded immediately. READ THE SERIAL “I SAW IT MYSELF” By HENRY BARBUSSE.— Author of ‘Under Fire,’ ‘Chains,’ and Other Great Novels. This brilliant novel has been tabooed by the ruling class press the world over. In America it is hardly known, Over a month ago, June 21, the Daily Worker did not appear for lack of funds. This was the first time that this suspension occurred since the founding of The Daily Worker five and one-half years ago. We resumed publication the next day. A few com- rades and friends in New York pooled their resources to save the Daily, and give it a chance to appeal to the readers and loyal supporters. The next few days are crucial. The next few days will settle the fate of the Daily. WILL YOU ANSWER? , Do not wait for another suspension. Enclose your check or money order immediately. Wire it or rush by air mail to THE DAILY WORKER, 26 Union Square, New York, N. Y. The Daily must increase its circulation to reach ever wider circles of workers. A large circulation will re- duce the huge deficit. : We have a number of ways for increasing the circu- lation, which are enumerated below. The Sustaining Fund must be established imme-. diately. Our readers and friends should not only send their immediate contribution, but pledge themselves to give a definite sum monthly or weekly. This will help the Daily avoid such crises as now exist. t The campaign for funds is now five weeks old, and yet the Daily is in the same precarious condition it has been in at the beginning. The money coming in is too slow to cover the deficit, and give the Daily a breathing spell. Ten thousand dollars has been collected, when at least $1,000 per day is needed to pull the Daily out of its present crisis. Will the Daily get this money? The next few weeks will decide the fate of the Daily. _—Read the Daily.
