meetings attended by the hundreds
Of thousands Of workers, the huge
mass outpouring in the cities on the
line OF march, arlr the thousands Of
local struggles led by the Unemployed
Councils, have focused the atten-
ton OF millions OF workers upon the
struggle OF the Workers Unempioy-
rnent Insurance at full wages has
drawn for them the sharp, clear con-
trast between the Hoover Hunger and
starvation program and the working
class program Of the Unemployed
Councils. Most important OF all the
Hunger March has laid a basis for a
nationwide mass struggle for the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill.
The Hoover administration mad the
Wall Street rule today gave a cynical
and brutal answer to the million of
hungry unemployed and part time
workers, represented by the 1910
Hunger Marchers and the Unemploy-
ed Councils by its refusal to even al
low the elected delegation to enter
the capital, o rthe white house, and
by confronting the Hunger March
and the working class of Washington
With display Of especially modified
military force of q size unparalleled
in peace" time.
Rifles Against Workers
The Unemployed Council delegates
were herded at every point OF the
march. They we're penned In on the
capital grounds by mass military for
nations. The capital itself was fill
ed with armed forces, and there was
a tremendous display OF rifles, ma
chine. guns, and grenades, against
worker delegates come to Washington
to exercise their rights to demand
winter relief and unemployment in
surance.
President Hoover himself refused to
permit the Hunger Marchers TO en-
ter the white house grounds He re-
fused to allow sven the small elected
delegations to enter the white house.
But he sent one Of his underlings
70 further insult the Hunger March
RS by stating that he would receive
sniy At the gate Of the white house
grounds any document they had to
resent to the president.
Exposed Hoover Starvation
The Hunger March has further ex-
losed before hundreds Of thousands
q, workers, the starvation and sup
tressive character of the Hoover pro-.
gram for solving the worst crisis In
she history Of American capitalism.
x]ne mass police mobilization against
The Unemployed Councils delegation.
and the refusal to even hear its pro-
: ssst and demands, showed that its
earlier characterization OF the Hoo
ver-WalI Street as "a crust OF bread
on q bayonet." must now be modified.
Today's military mobilization has
Ahown that the crust OF bread has
Sssn taken out Of the Hoover Hun
ger PROGRAM and ONLY the payonet
snd dennagoey are left.
II shows that CONGRESS cares moth
Ing for the mass misery from urem-
ployment and huneer produced by
the existence OF twelve rnillion iobless
workers In the United States. believes
that suppression Of the struggle for
unemployment insurance is cheaper
than UNEMPLOYMENT insurance. and
places less burdens in the form OF
taxation upon the Millionaire mem
bers OF the Hoover cabinet, like Mel
Ion. and the Millionaire and multi
miihonaires for whom he speaks and
who are the real rulers Of the United
States.
Led by Negro Worker
The leader Of the deIegation elected

ployed before Hoover was Negro
workers, whose brothers are being
murdered and iynched wholesale in
this crisis. (Seyenty-five Negroes
murdered for protesting intolerable
conditions since last August. At the
very moment when President Hoover
refused>to zee the representatives Of
the unemployed Negro and white
workers a new wave OF Iynctins has
broken out In the state Of Maryland
In the very shadow Of the white
hnuse, but not one word Of condemna-
tion had come from the lips OF Wall
Streets President.
