The Daily Worker
—1924—
High Resolution Scans


Introduction

On another page of this presentation of The Daily Worker we provide a near complete 12 month run of the issues printed in 1924, scanned from microfilm for the Library of Congress in a project carried out by the University of Illinois at Urbana. The quality of these scans is quite good, scans made from microfilm considered. They did a really excellent job.

These three months (October, November, and December) of scans of issues of The Daily Worker of 1924 on THIS page are among the relatively few cases in this digital presentation of the paper where the images were obtained by scanning original paper directly on a broadsheet size flat bed scanner. Scanning was done by Marty Goodman of the Riazanov Library. Other instances where we present such high resolution and high quality digital images of The Daily Worker here are the 9 months of 1926 National Edition, and 2 1/2 months of the 1927 National Edition, and 3 months of the 1928 National Edition. These I acquired as bound volumes. They were discarded by a university special collections library and acquired by a rare book dealer, then purchased by me. I then unbound the issues, rendering them as individual pages for scanning pressed absolutely flat against the glass of a flat bed scanner.

Sadly, what remains of original editions of The Daily Worker in special collections library is jealously locked up, to decay over the years, and never to be scanned to make the kind of distinctly far superior quality images you see here, compared to qualitatively far poorer images that are obtained scanning microfilm. In one case I learned a holding of 1920s The Daily Worker at a world-renowned special collections library that I had repeatedly asked about in order to get access to it to scan it had been destroyed by the library in question, without their ever scanning it.

In 1924, throughout the entire year, there was just one edition of The Daily Worker published each day. That changes in January of 1925, when the start of many years of printing both a National and a New York edition of the paper each day begins. More information on this in other notes on this archive, available both on the landing page and on some of the other pages. All of the issues in these three months presented here are from what is declared to be “Volume 2” on the paper, and what we have termed “Volume 2a” here, because there were two different “Volume 2’s” of The Daily Worker printed. For some odd reason, when the first “Volume 2” ended in January of 1925, they numbered the next volume, with the restart of issue numbering, “Volume 2” also. We here assigned "Volume 2a" to the first of these two Volume 2’s in the file names we’ve given to the pdf files of scans of these issues, and "Volume 2b" to the second of the two “Volume 2’s” that were printed.

Editorial and publishing notes for 1924 of: The Editors for this were J. Louis Engdahl, William F. Dunne though Dunne wasn’t added until later in the year. The Business Manager was Moritz J. Loeb. Production of the paper, both editorial and printing was done in Chicago, Ill. Also, please note that Volume 2 of The Daily Worker starts with the March 18th issue. This is because the numbering of each issue was a continuation of the The Worker, a weekly that predated the The Daily Worker and which itself was a continuation of The Toiler.
