History

Origin

The origins of the ''Daily Worker'' begin with the weekly ''Ohio Socialist'' published by the Socialist Party of Ohio in

. The ''Ohio Socialist'' only used whole numbers. Its final issue was #94 November 19, 1919. The ''Toiler'' continued this numbering, even though a typographical error made its debut issue #85 November 26, 1919. Beginning sometime in 1921 the volume number IV was added, perhaps reflecting the publications fourth year in print, though its issue numbers continued the whole number scheme. The final edition of the ''Toiler'' was Vol IV #207 January 28, 1922. The ''Worker'' continued the ''Toilers'' numbering during its run Vol. IV #208 February 2, 1922 to Vol. VI #310 January 12, 1924. The first edition of ''Daily worker'' was numbered Vol. I #311. The ''Ohio Socialist'' became ''Toiler'' in November 1919. In 1920, with the CLP going underground, ''Toiler'' became the party's "aboveground" newspaper published by "The Toiler Publishing Association." It remained as the Cleveland aboveground publication of the CLP and its successors until February 1922. In December 1921 the "aboveground"

opened the paper for discussion of the topic, a novel event for a party-line newspaper, and one appeared to promise further liberalization and dialogue inside the Communist Party in the United States. Despite widespread dissension in the CPUSA, the paper finally endorsed Moscow's suppression of the Hungarian uprising. In the disruptions that followed, about half of the remaining party membership left, including Gates and many staff members of the ''Daily Worker''. Owing to greatly reduced operating income associated with a reduced membership, the CPUSA was forced to cease publication of a daily paper, with the final issue of the ''Daily Worker'' appearing on January 13, 1958. After a short hiatus, the party published a weekend paper called ''The Worker'' from 1958 until 1968. A Tuesday edition called ''The Midweek Worker'' was added in 1961 and also continued until 1968, when production was accelerated. According to ex-
