ing the latest brazen provocation
against the marchers. It brands as
q lie and forgery, and a clumsy
forgery at that, what purport to be
circulars issued by "The Communist
Party Of America" calling for armed
ipsurrection No worker here seems
to have seen The circulars, but what
the paper says are their contents are
published in the Washington, eve
ming STAR of Dec. 2. This paper
says:
Circulars were being issued to-
day about the Capitol purporting
to come frcln the Communist Party
Of America calling upon fellow
workers, black anG white3 to oigan-
lie your forces and prepare to take
by force OF aims inc mines, mills
factories, FARMS. railroads. ETC, and
run all these things i'll the interests
Of the workers under Communism.
The poster closes with the cry
Down with the U. S. Government
and all its racketeers.' 1st's5T .
The Communist Party has issued
no call for armed insurrection in
America, and the circulars betray ig-
norance Of the name of the organ
ization, which is not Communist
Party Of America" but Communist
Parry Of the U s. A." The terr1lin-

scribe, not that of the workers who
make up the Communist Party.
Plot To Attack March.
The Washington Arrangements
Committee points out that this is but
the latest attempt to lay a basis for,
and excuse beforehand. the armed at
tack on the National Hunger March
which the Hoover administration
hopes for. The committee points out
that the 1900 narchers are coming
as elected delegates from the masses
Of unemployed in every big city OF
the country, and from many small
ones and that their purpose is not
to lead an armed instruction, but TO
lay before Congress and the president
The demands of the 12,0O0,oOO jobIess
and the militant, organized and I'M
organized workers of America for
unemployment Insurance at full wage
rates and immediate winter relief Of
$3.50 cash for each j bless worker, and
$50 more for each depend .ut,
The committee demands the right
to march through the city streets for
the National Hrr ger March, the
right TO meet IN rational conference,
the right to be fed and housed at
government expense and to present
its demands on Congress and on
Hoover.
Torture Phillips.
The II demonstrators who went to
the White House last week to demand
housing and feeding of the National
Hunger March delegates and were ar
rested and sentenced to six months
each, are now on $500 bail each. Bail
and the appeal of the case is in the
hands of the International Labor De-
Tense. One of them, the IS year old
boy, Bill Phillips, refused to be finger
printed when taken to Jail. Mayor
Peak personally directed an assault
on him by the police in which he
was tortured into semi consciousness
by police putting chains around his
hands and ankles and then twisting
the chains. He was also badly beaten
up by police. Even now, his hands
are numb.
