The Secret Service is evidently pre-
pairing some new forgeries to show
that the funds for the march are
Russian Gold" This is indicated by
its statement in yesterdays papers,
that "it is not clear how the march
is to be financed" and investigation
Of this phase is still proceeding" The
march is financed by the masses of
workers, through the special collec-
tions and tag days and by donations
from workers organizations right
here in America, and in no other way.
Make these collections a success, and
the National Hunger March will be
a success. Defend by mass support
the National Hunger March and

PrOvOcatiOn By Secret Service Is
Attempt to Stop Insurance Demands

and new mass lay-Offs in the last few
days, has resulted in great mass sup
port for the March and for its de-
mands. and stern determination on
the part of the masses to force on
Congress the most burning question
affecting the lives of millions of job
less and part time workers.
Publication of the Hunger March
statement ofthe Secret Service Wash
ington headquarters, is confession
that the Washington administration
realizes that millions of starving un-
employed are united behind this
march, while holds out to them their
hope of living through the winter.
The Secret Service statements show
that the authorities have now no
other hope than by extreme acts of
terror, of preventing these demands
from being served on Congress in a
way that will arouse world wide in
terest, and force the capitalist rulers
to make scme provision for the un-
employed.
Publication of actual extracts from
instructions to those preparing the
Hunger March is accompanied by a
series of outright lies, such as that
the marcherS will be armed with
stones" and may be armed with
rifles" and that is not an unemployed
march, but a Communist joy ride"
This is obviously, merely to lay the
basis for open, brutal attacks on the
Hunger Marchers by orders of Hoover,
the Wall Street agent in the White
House. 1t is the latest of series of
provocations of which those last week
were: Matthew WolPs letter calling
for trial for treason of the leaders of
the march, General Fries call to the
American Legion for an attack on
the march, and President Hoover's
jailing of the pickets accompanying
delegation of the National Hunger
March Committees at the White
House Friday.

ONOTAGON, Mich. (By MaiD -
Two hundred farmers under the lead
ership Of the United Farmers League
demonstrated in front of the Onton-
agon County courthouse, protesting
against the SherifT's sale Of Emil
Hofstroms farm of Bruces Crossings,
Michigan, November "a In spite of
the storm and. cold weather the large
crowd of farmers stood over an hour
and cheered the speakers as they ex-
posed the county officials and the
sheriff in their attempt to rob the
mortgage ridden farmer of his farm
and home.
Ontonagon county sheriff, Joseph
J. Schon read the notice of the sale
at l O'Clock. AS he began to read
the legal document" on the sale our
speaker interrupted him by asking
Can you do anything to prevent the
SALE? He answered 1T is my off,
cial duty" Are you afraid of losing
your job as sheriff if you refuse to
execute the sale? The answer was
Possibly, yes" This answer fully

instead of the interests of the poor
farmers.
According TO law, a Sherif1s sale
must be open for bidders for an hour.
During the hour, four speakers kept
the farmers interested by explaining
why the officials of the county are
not representing the poor farmers
and workers who always pay the big
gest taxes while the lumber compa-
nies, paper mills, banks and all the
rich owners of land go almost tax

Answer Mackey.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 29.-
The refusal of Mayor Mackey to pro-
vide food and lodging for the Hunger
March delegation stopping in this
city will be answered by a mighty
demonstration of the employed and
unemployed workers of this city, to
be held on the City Hall Plaza, De-
cember 3, 4:30 p. m.
An indoor demonstration has also
been arranged for Friday, December
4, 8 p. M, at the Broadway Arena,
Broad and Christian SITS. This DEM
onstration will welcome the Hunger
March delegation to Philadelphia and
also protest against the action of the
Budget Committee and Mayor
Mackey.
In connection with this demonstra-
ton the United Front Hunger March
Committee has sent letter to Mayor
Mackey in answer to his refusal to
provide food and lodging for the
Hunger March delegation, which
scores Mackey's statement that the
jobless delegates should not come
through Philadelphia, and brands as
a lie the statement he makes that
Mackey's administration is actually
feeding and housing the jobless. 1t
points out that Mackey's statement
that President Hoover is doing all
possible for the jobless is also false,
as Hoover has done nothing at all
yet.
The United Front Hunger March
committee calls on every organiza-
ton to take part in the Thursday
demonstration and to get back of the
drive for 100000 pennies TO support
the National Hunger March.
Increased police terror has followed
Mackey's threatening letter. Two Un-
employed Council members, G. GUN
and John Syx we're arrested for pre-
venting the police from evicting an
unemployed family at 2035 South
