The paper reeled from one financial crisis to another until, in 1929, Odhams Press stepped in to save it. The early days of the paper were, however, beset by lack of money, even though the Trades Union Congress (TUC) took the paper over in 1922. In April 1912, this mobilisation of effort resulted in the paper being relaunched as a daily, dealing with issues directly relevant to the working man and woman. So successful was the sheet in helping the unions win their argument, that a movement began for the Herald to be adopted as the daily newspaper in support of the socialist cause. The Daily Herald was launched in January 1911 as a strike sheet for the London printing unions, who were at that time involved in an industrial dispute to support their pleas for improved pay and conditions.
