The Daily Worker

Workers Defeat
Bankers' Attack But
New
Crisis
Threatens
"Daily"
MORE ORGANIZATION SUPPORT NEEDED

The bankers' attack on the Daily Worker through their
tool, "Andy" Armstrong, president of the Pressmen's Union,
shows again the need of the working class for their paper.
It has also created an intensified financial crisis. No capi-
talist paper has dared to lay bare the true conditions of the
Bank of United States crash. The bankers immediately tried
to cut off the Daily Worker, the only source of information
for the workers in the deepening crisis.

THE ATTEMPT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL. The work-
ers rallied to the paper's support. But the unusual expense
of printing the Daily Worker on a flat bed press has created
a shortage which may cause a temporary suspension unless
help at an increased tempo is forthcoming immediately.

The number of contributions which come into the Daily
Worker office indicate sufficiently that the workers realize
the need for their paper and are standing solidly behind it.
BUT INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT IS NOT ENOUGH. Unless
there is a sharp increase in organized effort there is danger
that the $30,000 will not be raised.

There is some indication that this need is being recog-
nized. From the Yugoslav Workers' Club, "Pelagich," of
San Pedro, California, comes a check for $52.50, $50 of which
was raised at a Daily Worker entertainment and $2.50 of
which is contributed by a comrade.

The United Council of Working Class Women sends a
check for $5, raised at a meeting.

These are moves in the right direction.
BUT SO FAR
THEY ARE TOO SCATTERED.

Mass support must be organized.
Responsibility for the Daily Worker Emergency Relief
Fund cannot continue to rest on individual workers and scat-
tered organization.

ONLY ORGANIZED MASS SUPPORT CAN SAVE THE
DAILY WORKER
