PHILA. SUB DRIVE TO START JULY 15 le |‘Daily Worker’ Groups | In Unions Urged The following letter from Philadel- phia gives concrete suggestions for spreading the Daily Worker that should be studied not only by Red ; Builders but by all class conscious workers that realize the need for establishing a mass base for the revolutionary struggle in the United | States: Dear Comrades: The meeting of the Press Actives was held on June 16. The only ones present were 35 representatives from the units, Daily Worker builders and four organizations. No unions, even our unions, see the importance of sending representatives to build groups of the Daily Worker readers in the unions, as TUUL. Food Work- ers Union, Needle Trade Union, etc. Many other mass organizations were not represented. Comrade P. reported on the role of the Daily Worker in the. working class struggles, and how and why we must build the Daily's circulation. 1. We must organize readers in the groups as supporters and builders of the Daily Worker. 2. We must have news written by the workers from the factories, mills and mines. 3. We should have personal contact with the readers to renew subscriptions and get new subs. 4. We should or- ganize groups of Daily Worker sup- porters in the shops, factories, mines, ete. In discussion 0: the report, many comrades showed the possibilities for more readers. A Negro woman, age 60, said that she is selling 20 and more copies of the Daily Worker every day, and has no difficulties selling it, She said sometimes she spends 30 minutes with the worker until he is convinced to buy the pa- per. - " It was also pointed out that much news sent to the Daily from facto- | hes, from the unemployed councils’ struggles of the workers against evic. tions was not published, which dis- courages many workers from writing news for the Daily Worker. It was proposed and decided to have a special drive for subscrip- tions and readers. This drive will last July 15 until November 1, In this period we must set ourselves a quota of 500 new subs and 500 re- newals, and 1,000 copies increase on the bundle sales. The plan in detail will be worked out by the committee. Five comrades volunteered to act on the city committee of the Daily Worker, ’ SAYS M.

Wars, though they “voted” for the bonus, were opposed to any real ac- tion to carry through the decisions of the rank and file; their policy of lobbying got us nowhere. The rank} and file of the veterans, the ma- jority of whom are unemployed work- ers and poor farmers, became in- spired by the example of the dem- onstrations and hunger marches of the unemployed who through their action compelled the authorities to grant a certain amount of relief. The veterans instinctively felt that their fight was not a separate fight, but | part of the fight of the many-mil- lion army of unemployed of whom they are a part. . Who Are the Leaders? wre are the present self-styled leaders and what do they want? The present leaders are self-imposed and not elected by the veterans. They are imposed on the veterans by the enemies of the bonus,. who maneu- vered to get hold of the movement of the rank and file and destroy its militant character. It is only with the aid of the Hoover administration policies that the present leadership can maintain itself and carry through its policies against the wishes of the rank and file of the veterans, Glassford and his associ- ates are carrying through the Hoover policy against the bonus. We veterans should not be fooled by the fine division of labor of the Hoover administration through which Glassford was given the role of “friend” of the veterans, This is an old game of clever politicians to de- moralize the ranks of the veterans. Vote Was Frame-up «babe policy of the present self- styled leaders has not brought us | the bonus.... It was the pressure of the masses of veterans which forced a record vote in Congress and the Senate. But the politicians who voted for the bonus did so with an eye on the coming elections and with con- viction that it would not be passed. The whole vote was.but a-frame-up against the veterans. The hat in hand policy of the leaders could | bring no other results. If instead of this policy the veterans in Washing- ton had demonstrated their deter- mination to get the bonus, had or- ganized demonstrations of their brothers and supporters throughout the country, they could have com- pelled Congress to vote the payment SCHWAB'S STEEL MILL AIDS DOAK DRIVE ON LABOR Phila., Pittsburgh to Fight Dies Bill (CONTINUED.

White Guards Prepare for War on Soviet Union ‘The white guardist bands the world over take pleasure in giving moral and material support to the imperialists of all countries, whom they serve as police or in the reserves, in preparation fer possible revolutionary up- risings.
