Practical Suggestions for BUILDING the Daily 225 Worker ili = n The Foremost Task of Every Party Member Is . Get Subscribers Everywhere and All the ime. A letter from A. Henderson, of California, indicates a method of securing mass circulation for The Daily Worker which every Party member should apply himself to. He writes: “T let no day go by without doing some very good propaganda work. I take a half-dozen Daily Workers with me to my shop, and after a day of dirty, heavy work, I get some fresh air and add to my inspiration for the revolutionary movement by distributing them at workers’ homes, as I go to my own home from work. I pick out the poorest homes in each block and talk to each worker as one worker to another, In this way 1 give The Daily Worker to six workers for a week at a time. The workers are always glad to get it and to talk to me. At the end of six days I ask for their subscriptions, The first week of this method netted me three subscriptions. I also spend Sundays mak- ing contacts with workers by distributing The Daily Worker. Let’s hear from other workers regarding this plan and other plans they have to build The Daily Worker. Every Party member must become Daily Worker conscious. The Daily Worker could within two months become a mass organ for the Party. if every district worker organizer, district Daily Worker rep- reséntative, all other city, section and unit representatives, all Party members would give some time and attention to the Party’s official organ every day. _ And we could again publish a six-page paper, an absolute necessity at this time, faced as we are with the task of J t fn yeh been taught too, to distrust Signs were. displayed, stating: bound to work in place of knitters | strike for better wages, shorter! the whites.

(d) Or do this. Select five workers in your shop or in your neigh- | borhood and give them each a copy of The Daily Worker every iy } for one week. Talk to them about the paper, why they should read it, about unemployment, Soviet Ru: the war danger, speed-up in the shop, etc. At the clore of the week request them to subscribe. Try to get a yearly subscription or a half-yearly subscription, but if this is impossible then you surely can get their subscription for two months at $1. We will send to any Party member five copics of The Daily Worker free if the Party member will actually attempt to secure subscribers. We do advise, however, that instead of giving away The Daily Worker you sell it to the five workers at 3 cents a copy. Most workers will pay for and be very glad to get it and read it.
