Letter From a Worker
Editor Daily Worker,
Dear comrade:
I ask you to publish this letter in the Daily Worker. I received two copies of the counter-revolutionary paper "Revolutionary Age" from the former Party member, F. Vratarich, Wilkes Barre, Pa. When I read that counter-revolutionary paper, I found that this paper is no better than the Trotskyists' party wrecking paper.
At this moment when all the capitalist countries attack the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics and prepare war against it, these Party wreckers try to send their lying counter-revolutionary papers to workers and try to tell them that the Party is no good. And not only that, but they have declared war on the Communist International and on the Soviet Union.
All workers know that the capitalists of every kind are the enemies of the workers. But this bunch call themselves Communists, and they all work against the Communist movement.
I ask them through the Daily Worker not to send me their counter-revolutionary paper any more, because I support the Communist International and you bunch of Party-wreckers will not be able to draw me away from the Communist movement. The workers in the anthracite region do not want your Party-wrecking policy and will take the mask off your face so that everybody can see who you are. And send me no more "Counter-Revolutionary Age."

Main Argument
the 'revolutionary age' is a counter-revolutionary trotskyist paper that undermines the communist party and international; the writer rejects it and demands no more copies, affirming loyalty to the soviet union amid capitalist threats.
