DONATES $200 TO DAILY WORKER
Carpenters Going to USSR Help Daily
NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—Pledging their aid to the revolutionary struggle in this country at the same time that they go to the Soviet Union to help in the building of socialist construction in the workers' republic, the Carpenters Group, leaving in a few days for Soviet Russia, has sent a contribution of $200 to the Daily Worker in the "resolution to help with our last cent to uphold our revolutionary organ." The following letter accompanied the contribution:
Greetings to the Daily Worker—
We, the workers that will leave for the Soviet Union to introduce the American system of working in the carpenter trade and we as class conscious workers, who followed the Russian Revolution with great enthusiasm, have only one aim, and that is, to help our comrades in their efforts to accomplish the Five-Year Plan in four years, thus to build Socialism.
The time has come for us to prove our sincerity to the Soviet Union. We will leave very soon to take up our tasks in the Soviet Union. Before we leave, we want to declare to the working class in the U. S. A. that in leaving this country, we will leave as class conscious workers, not forgetting the movement here, that is, fighting against capitalism. Especially we will not forget our courageous leader in our fight, the Daily Worker.
We come to the aid of our Daily Worker in its present crisis, with a resolution to help with our last cent to uphold our revolutionary organ that has fought so valiantly in the past, is fighting in the present and will fight in the future until capitalism is overthrown.
Hoping that you will publish the above as our parting message, we send the enclosed $200 as our contribution.
With revolutionary greetings,
Carpenter Group.
