NEW YORK-With the unems
ployed army growing to still mightier
proportions, and with the capital
list charity takers admitting millions
are doomed to starvation this winter,
the National Committee of the Un-
employed Councils, formed by the
1910 marchers who took part in the
National Hunger March, has issued
q rGllying call for huge demonstra-
tons on February 4th for unemploy-
ment insurance. February 4th has
been designated by the Unemployed
Councils as National Unemployment
Insurance Day. The call for mobili-
cation for greater struggles on this
day follows:
The National Conference of the
1910 Hunger Marchers who were
elected by scores of thousands of
workers In all parts of the United
States, decided to designate Feb.
4th as National Unemployment In
surance Day. On this day, great
street demonstrations must take
place In every city and town in
the United States. Employed as
well as part-time and totally un-
employed workers will rally in
mighty mass demonstrations
against the hunger policy of the
ruling class and its government in
Washington, in the states, coun-
les and cities.
The National Committee of the
Unemployed Councils of the Uni
ted States calls upon all workers
and working class organizations,
all poor farmers and their organi-
cations, all ex-servicemen who be-
long to the working class, regard
less of race, nationality, age or
sex; regardless of political affflia-
ton, to unite for common strug-
gle In militant mass demonstra-
tons on National Unemployment
Insurance Day.
