Introduction to
The Worker
(1923 - 1924)
The Worker was the direct predecessor of The Daily Worker, the daily organ of the newly unified Communist Party. Run as a weekly for most of it's one year existence, the plans for a daily newspaper were already in the works when The Worker started publication in early 1923. As a reflection of the unifying spirit of the new Workers Party of America in January 1922, The Toiler was merged with the bi-weekly The Workers Council. The following month the combined publication was given a new name, The Worker, beginning with issue #208. Despite the modified moniker, the "new" publication looked and felt like The Toiler in every way, even making use of the same numbering run.
