Street and its Hoover adrninistra-
ton" said Dunno, and he described
the situation as 'TThe twilight of
capitalism.
Hoover's Program of Murder.
"An signs point to deepening OF
the crisis, on a world scale" said
Dunno. '"rhe Hoover administra-
ton tries one thing after another,
with the sole purpose Of preserving
at the cost of working-class starva-
ton the very system that is respon-
sible for the misery of the working
class. Life itself shows The Ameri-
can Standard of Living to have be-
come a lie"
Capitalist policy is to convince
the workers they must rely on the
mercy of Mellon and Schwab, ETC.,
for life itself, Dunno pointed out, and
added that the National Hunger
March broke through all this, and
that all attempts to minimize it and
misrepresent its aims and compost
ton are failing. The workers do not
think it is a false alarm.
Dunno took up the published re-
ports tina tin the 80 largest cities
of the United States practically the
total in which city relief is being COL
lected) only $94,000,00O has been COL
lected altogether, including sums for
forced labor schemes and sums torn
forcibly away from those who still
have jobs through check-off mn
posed by threats. This, he showed,
is enough to give the jobless of New
York alone about 500 each to get
through the winter on, and would
leave nothing for the jobless Of the
other cities.
"Hoover's Emergency Relief pro-
gram is a murderous insult" said
Dunno. "Hoover's message spits in
the face of the unemployed, and so
does Doak's. Secretary of Labor
Doak proposes to deport even more
foreign-born workers and to finger
print and register them all and place
them in the grip of merciless
espionage and blacklist system Both
Hoover and Doak plan for lower
standards of living for the workers
in order to finance new predatory
imperialist wars in every corner of
the world"
The final speaker was Herbert
Benjamin, who was national field
representative of the Washington
Arrangements Committee of the
march, and is now secretary Of the
National Committee of the Unem-
ployed Councils, formed in Washing
ton Dec. 7, when the 1,670 National
Hunger March delegates met in ma
tional convention.
He spoke of the present organiza-
tional forms and the campaign to
spread the Unemployed Councils
everywhere. He prophesied that the
suicide rate would fall in the proper
ton that the organization spreads.
He referred to Washington as the
city where they post armed gurads
on garbage piles to prevent the chill
dren of the unemployed from eating
it. He told of interesting details of
the demonstration in Washington, in
Guiding the placing of a dictaphone
by secret service agents where the
words Of the delegation elected to
place the demands before Hoover
could be recorded. as they were
barred from entering the White
House.

1.-THE National Hunger March will
be followed by still bigger and still
better organized movements, said
wiIIfanSz. Foster, secretary of the
Trade Union Unity League, !" "but the
march of Dec. z on Washington will
be remembered as oneof those mile
stones along the path of working
class progress 1t raised the whole
struggle to a higher level"
Foster told of the failure of at
tenpts Of the capitalists to disregard
the march, and after that, the fail
ure' of their attempts to smash it far
out away from Washington. He sta
ted that the millions who learned
of the marchc, and were sympathetic,
the hundreds of thousands in hun
dreds of cities who actively demon
strated in. support Of it, chilled the
desire OF Washington officials to
launch police attack against it in
Washington. r~ 5s~
Let the A. +. of L. Vote!
Foster made a special point in his
report of the necessity of carrying
the struggle of the jobless into the
A. Fssof' L. "Who told these A. F.
of L. bureaucrats who met in the
Vancouver convention that the A. F.
of L. workers were opposed to I'M
employment insurance." he asked.
"They don't dare either to debate the
question with us, not to take refer
endum of the A. F. of L. member
ship. But the jobless who belong to
A. r. of L.. unions will not wait in
the vain hope of a referendum from
the takers. They demand one, but
they are,going ahead through locals
of A. F. of L. unions, and through
the Unemployed Councils, to draw up
the referendum forms and give every
A. F. of L. union member a chance
to vote on whether he wants unem-
ploynlent insurance" .-l.
Sullivan, of the Bronx branch Of
the Unemployed Council, reported
that in those towns where the police
made most threats, the workers were
most militant in their support of the
Natienaf4 Hunger March. He men
toned that the Daily Worker alone
OF the English language dailies gave
the facts about the march.
Sullivan was followed by Bill
Dunno, introduced as editor of the

agents into Patterson, N. J. Just prior
to a threatened strike in the textile
mills of that city. These agents were
to arrest those aliens who were to
take prominent part in the strike and
thereby proved to the Department OF
Labor that they we're undesirables
According to the Department of La
Dor, and to Mr.. Hoover, and to Mr.
Morgan a desirable alien and pros
pective "good' American is only such
a slave as is willing to accept wage
cuts with humility and receive the
police club over his head without
protest.
All the activities ow the Depart
ment of Labor in the Cabinet OF
President Hoover, prove conclusively
that its name, Department of Labor
is only shield to cover up its real
activity. The real functions of the
Department Of Labor are those Of a
Department of Strike Breaking and
Of Workers Deportation. And the
head of this department at the pres
ent moment is Mr.. Doak.
1t is the head of this same depart
ment and it is the same MIR. Doak
that issued the statement yesterday
that the Hunger Marchers were led
by Reds.
What of 1t, Mr.. Doak? Why
shouldn't these leaders have been
Reds? All the yellows and blacks are
preaching to the workers submission,
they preach acceptance of starvation,
starvation aggravated by the taunt
of charity. The Reds, the Commll-
nists, are the only ones that point
out to the workers that they have a
right to demand chance to eat and
that the capitalists must be forced to
provide them with food.
The chief of Mr. Doak, President
Hoover recently declared over the
radio that it is not the business OF
government to take care of the I'M
employed. This declaration is made
by the chief Of the same government
which during the war paid the Amer
lean capitalists many hundred mil
lion dollars for goods sold by them to
Britain, France and Italy. Britain,
France and italy were unable to pay
for the war materials they had bought
In America. The American govern
ment then considered it its business
to insure the American capitalists
against certain losses. So the Amer
lean government padi these bills.
Evidently it is the business of the
American government to take care
that the American capitalists should
not be deprived Of their profits on
sales made to irlsolvent customers.
But according to Mr.. Hoover it is
not the business OF the government
to see to it that the masses Of I'M
employed workers be saved from star
walton through adequate unemploy-
ment relief by means of unemploy-
thouglnent insurance. The govern
ment says that it is its business TO

''They rushed the building,

militant policy against Japan"
This murderouS massacre by the
new more democratic government
of the Canton clique Of Chinese stu
dents demonstrating against Japa-
neSe imperialism and its native lack
eys shows clearly the continuity Of
the Kuornintang program of betray-
ing China and suppressing the anti
imperialist struggles of the masses.
1t confirms the editorial warning in
yesterdays Daily Worker that:
"The so-called left wing" Of the
Kuomintang, that now takes power
In Marking, will be even more saw
agely--if that is possible-against
the masses, than Chang Kai-shek
was. Its pro-Japanese tendency is
clear in the person Of Eugene Chen

and Chang Fak-wei, its left" mill
tarist, have repeatedly massacred
the workers, peasants and students,

Oct. 10 being carried ont by Wang
Chin-wei against students who or
ganiEed a boycott against Japan
over the Manchurian seizure.
Imperialists Push Attacks on
Chinese Masses.
Within "a hours the imperialist
press reports from Marking have
proved the absolute correctness of
that warning.
The imperialists, alarmed at the
angry forward surge Of the anti-im-
perialist movement and ten tremen-
dous growth Of the influence Of the
Chinese Communist Party, and the
strengthening Of the Central Soviet
Government of China, are frantically
preparing bloodbath for the Chi
.nese masses, aimed at partitioning
China among themselves and crush
ing the anti-imperialist struggle and
its only dependable leader, the Chi
neSe Communist Party. Workers.

mand hands off Cf1inai Demand the

Chang Abandons Pretense of
Resisting japanese. ,.
Marshal Chang Hsueh- LANG, de-
posed by the Japanese as governor OF
Manchrria, yesterday abandoned all
pretense resisting the japanese
seizure Of Manchuria.. Chang re-
signed his command of the Kuonin-
tang forces in Chinchow, nominating
as his successor Chang Tso-hsiang,
an open advocate OF Japanese con-
troll Of Manchuria. The nomination
Of Chang Tso-hsiang is reported by
the imperialist press to be highly
satisfactory to the Japanese. The
new cleft" government has invited
Chang Hsueh-liang to accept ap-
pointment as military commissioner
Of North China.
A Washington dispatch TO the New
York World-Telegrain admits that the
new Japanese STRONG hand" govern
ment is already laying plans to con-
vert Manchuria into an "indepen-
dent state which will look to Japan,
rather than to China, for guidance.

COMPENDIUM OF BLAa

There Is in this country a daily publication which last year ran up a printing bill of s75S,693, carried no advertising and had only 520 paying subscribers, from each of whom it received $1.50 a month. Despite these indications of in- solvency, this journal does not contemplate bankruptcy, for it is the Congressional Record, all of whose bills are obligatorily footed by the taxpayers. Originally the Record was what its name implied "a verbatim account of debates in Congress for the guidance of it's members and for preservation in permanent form. Now it has be- come a dumping ground for every sort of document, whether of gen. eral interest or not, designed to flatter the vanity of members, to curry favor with their constituents or to bolster up pet bills.-St Louis Post-Dispatch.

NCENDIARY ATTEMPT
 MADE ON N. c. WAREHOUSE

What appears to be well-planned attempt at ineendiarism was per petrated here on the third of April, says a Whitehorse dispatch to the Dawson News At about S:30 o'clock smoke was seen pouring from the Northern Commercial Company's warehouse, in the mid de of the towns business section. The fire was extinguished almost at once by hand fire-extinguishers and chemicals from the fire hall. When the smoke had cleared away it was quite evident that an at tempt had been made to create a big fire. Entrance had been forced by prying the paddock from the door. Cartons of matches had been opened and boxes scattered throughout the building. Bundles of underwear had been opened and the garments hung from the rafters. Blankets had been spread over the racks and piles of mer- chandise and all saturated with coal oil which had been taken from the company's oil house, near by, where the paddock had also been forced off Punches of excelsior and paper packing were also taken from the oil house and placed in several piles in the ware house Fires were started in three places in the building. but had failed to gain headway owing to lack of air. It is believed that the intense smoke had smothered the first outbreak of the flames, and then the fire only smoldered until the smoke was discovered by the employees, who entered the building armed with extinguishers. With the first breath of fresh air the flames again broke out, but were put out at once.
 Very little damage was done by the fire Most of the loss will be from the sacks of sugar and other staple goods sprayed with coal oil.
 The R. c. NJ. police at once took charge of the case and are en- deavoring to run down the fire bug"

CRIME WAVE

The increase of crime is one of the most startling notices in our newspapers. Or the fact there can be no doubt. Three, four, five, and, in one case, eight murders are an nounced in New York for one week.
 Like the reports ot epidemic disease, they may sometimes show is a steady advance.
 we are becoming familiar with what twenty years ago would have shocked the universal conscience. The Durgiaries, forgeries, arsons, are in like proportion. ii there be any difference, the more enormous and startling crimes are multiply ing more rapidly than the minor and bold offenses.
 Among proximate causes has been usually reckoned the great in flux ot foreigners. It is undoubt- ediy true that the large proportion of the crimes committed are from this class of our population. This, however, falls far short of satis- factory explanation of the alarming phenomenon. =.
 "There are still other ;auses. There is intemperance, publIc excite ment of every kind, the growing contempt for parental authority, the foolish yet mischievous slang, the absurd yet dangerous spirit, the increasing disregard and dislike of positive law, the efforts to bring into contempt certain les.d enact ments, the inoufficiency of courts, the unprincipled quibbling of law yers, the vile corruption of politics, the uncertaint. of punishment, the delay Of justice ,tc., etc., "A quo- tation from al issue of Harper's Weekly publisht4 in 1853.

WHY NOT PATR0NIZE HOME
 INDUSTRIES

Why not subscribe for your mag azines with the people that spend their money in town instead of the inherent agents that are here today and gone tomorrow?
 One big advantage in subscribing through a local agent is that if there is any trouble about non arrivals of magazines the local agent is right here to correct it and will do so. If you subscribe through a stranger you may get your magazine, and if you don't, what are you going to do about it? l can give you as low and possibly a lower price than any of them and will guarantee absolute satisfaction.
