He is approached by a friend of his, a member of one of our revolu- tionary unions, “Well, Bill, how ave things in your shop?” and pencil, sits down and writes a letter to the —— Union. “The NRA don’t mean a thing in my place. We're still getting $10 a week for 60 hours work. The men in my place want to do something about it. Please send me more information on your union.” Sending that letter meant a lot to Bill. He couldn’t get an answer fast enough, Every night he would come home from work and ask if there was Daily Worker, he sent us the letter tens of times in the past that they promise but don’t do what they un- dertake to do.” In bringing this question to the at- tention of the comrades in the vari- ous organizations, we do not want to make an example of any particu- lar one.
