 The Reproduction of Daily Life by Fredy Perlman
The worker as producer aims to exchange his daily labor for money-wages, he aims precisely for the thing through which his relation to the capitalist is re-established, the thing through which he reproduces himself as a wage- worker and the other as a capitalist.
Workers competed with each other for the wages offered by capitalists; if a worker quit because the wage was unacceptably low, an unemployed worker was willing to replace him, since for the unemployed a small wage is higher than no wage at all.
Thus the result of the collective daily activity of the workers, each striving individually for the largest possible wage, was to lower the wages of all; the effect of the competition of each against all was that all got the smallest possible wage, and the capitalist got the largest possible surplus.

 Weekly Worker 230 Thursday March 5 1998
The launch of the Daily Worker in 1930 was a positive by-product of the negative turn of the world communist movement towards centrist sectarianism from 1928 onwards.
As Lenin advised, a daily newspaper is a necessity for a workers' party striving to lead the class.
Its success or failure is organically linked to the tempo of the struggle, the political level of the mass of the workers, the ability of the Party to fuse with the advanced layers of the class, and the painstaking efforts of the Party to nourish this most vital of assets.

Morrow was the most noted agent in the wholesale bribing of the biggest section of the bureaucracy of the Mexican government and army in the effort to convert that government into a sub-department of the Department of State of Yankee Imperialism at Washington.
The corruption of culture is a delicate thing--there must remain the semblance of the real, a semblance of the love of life and truth: otherwise the bargain is not delivered.
This flash of lightning shows the picture of a prostitute civilization which cannot longer live without debauching all of life and all of culture, without a regime of Hitler's murder and Rockefeller's vandalism, and indeed the class violence and murder of American bourgeoisie which rival the bloodiest crimes of the German fascist.

 Judgment Text
Regularisation of Daily Rated Workers: - All the Daily Rated Workers who on 31.3.1994, are eligible under rule 4 for regularisation shall with effect from 1.4.1994, be appointed on the regular pay scale of Class IV prescribed in the concerned department for the relevant category of posts in the scale of Rs.750-940.
Daily rated worker has been defined to mean a person engaged on daily wage basis at the rates sanctioned by the Government from time to time and a work charged employee has been defined to mean a person engaged on a work charged establishment to do any skilled, unskilled, manual, supervisory or technical work.
Such an interpretation would convert an engagement of a person as daily rated worker even for a period of 89 days as a permanent appointment for a period of 7 years with a right to be considered for regularisation on the expiry of the said period.

 May Day: Born of U.S. workers’ struggles
The celebration of International Workers’ Day on May 1 did originate in the U.S. But this fact is probably less well known to most people in the U.S. today than it was in 1955.
