Workers Greet Hunger MarcherS
Along Route; Go On Despite Cops,
Terror and Threats of Arrest
Peekskill Workers Wait Until One O'clock tc
Greet Marchers; Keep Up Spirit of
Enthusiasm and Determination

Estates 100000 jobless to the state
legislature.
The 200 unemployed, a representa-
tive group of american proletarians,
Negro and white, men and women,
display The utmost solidarity along
the entire line OF march. Cheering,
singing, they met the display OF po-
lice clubs, guns and the organized
terror prepared for them in every
town from Yonkers to Peekskill with
unflagging courage.
Workers in every town. along the
wag crowd the streets hours ahead
of time waiting for the Hunger
Marchers, and stand to argue and
discuss hours after the marchers
have left. The newspapers, terming
the jobless as Communist agitators
masquerading as unemployed and
Hunger Marchers," for the last few
Gays have attempted to discredit the
march in the eyes of the workers.
State troopers and police, with
great display of clubs and guns, also
are trying both to turn the Hunger
MarcherS back from Albany and to
terrorize the workers of the towns.
Nevertheless, workers and workers
organizations have met the Hunger
Marchers and expressed their active
solidarity by providing food and
shelteNf or the iobless.
In Tarrytown, when trucks accom-
panying the march was stopped in
order to let the marchers off to
march through Tarrytown, state
troopers threatened them with arrest
despite the mayors permit to march
through the town. In every town
squadrons of motorcycle police and
state troopers surround the march
ers from the time they enter the
town until they leave.
At Peekskill, where two-thirds of
the delegation were fed and shell
tered overnight, the entire popula-
ton was in the streets until one
o'clock in the morning and the police
force patrolled the streets half the
night.
At Ossining one-third of the group
were fed and sheltered by the Fol-
lowers of the Trail.
The Workers International Relief
has made arrangements all along the
line to Albany for the feeding and
sheltering of the delegation. The
delegation will spend Friday night
at Camp Nitgedaiget at Beacon.
The march began from Union
Square Feb. &c in disciplined forma-
ton, a lieutenant to each group of
20, captain directing a group of
five. Marching five abreast, singing
songs, cheering, raising their plac-
ards and slogans, the march began
in spirit of determination and en-
thusiasm.

SCOTLAND YARD"
AGAINST WORKERS
NeWYork Bosses Have
A New Scheme

ALBANY, N. Y-While the Roose-
Welt administration has refused one
cent for relief for the more than
100000 jobless in New York state,
money has been found to establish
what is called a second Scotland
Yard. Bills for that purpose have
been introduced in the state legisla-
ture yesterday.
The scheme contemplates special
departments for a tighter grip on
the workers, for tracing them and
following them up. Its purpose is
to establish a wide network of fin
ger-printing of those who may incur
the ennlity of the bosses.
Appropriations of more than ten
thousand dollars is carried with the
bill. The measure was proposed by
the State Crime Commission, which.

The Scripps-Howard interests
which have bought the paper from
the Pulitzer brothers announced that
the three papers will not be con-
tinued. Roy Howard and the Pulit-
GERS whose papers, in common with
all bosses pcpers, have cooe'ete~tlv
tried to hide the growing unemploy-
roent, made a weak gesture in the
direction Of The workers. Howard
comes forward with the empty phase
that he will employ some of the
World workers, while stating that
the great majority of the workers
will be laid or The Pulitzer's have
have set aside 100000 as bonuses"
for the workers, most of which how
ever. will so directly to the managers
end executives, etc. While the print
ing workers will get only q few miser-
able dollars with which to face
months Of unemployment.
World-Telegram merger is of the
utmost interest to all printing work
ers. Howard has stated that there
ere too many newspapers in the field.
This already means that the bosses
are determined TO build these mergers
on greater and greater plans, throw
ing cut thousands of workers at the
same tn,e. Under the policy of the
bosses supported by the American
Federation Of Labor misIe2ders in the
printing trades, Rensa Berger, print

Thould organize in the Printing

ance at the expense of the bosses.

Modern Maiden's Hands
Larger Than Ancestors

The hands of the women of today
are they larger than the hands of
their grandmothers? There is no ex-
position of old-style costume, says the
Matin Of Paris, which does not reveal,
at least by the diminutive gloves,
the exquisite smallness of our femi-
nine predecessors, both living and ex-
tinct. Few women of this generation,
moreover. are able TO wear the we'd
ding rings, the other rings or brace
lets of their ancestors.
One is able TO conclude, certainly,
that these souvenirs of the past were
chosen in accordance with the fashion
and requirement, and not merely Curl
Gus legacies left to US as something
most precious and most rare.
1t would be only honesty, rather, to
avow that the activity of modern
women has done away with much Of
the delicate slenderness Of former.
times. The hand which controls the
flying machine and which wields the
racket and the oar cannot. of course,
remain as small and graceful as the
one which had but to hold a handker-
chief Of lace.

Insurance Concern One
of the Worlds Oldest

The London insurance organization
known as Lloyd's was formed in Lon
don in the Seventeenth century. II
was not Incorporated until 1871, when
that was done by act Of parliament.
1t takes its name from that of Edward
Lloyd, who, kept a coffee house In
Tower street, London. In his place
these underwriters met to transact
their business and it became their
headquarters until 1774, when they re
moved 10 the Royal exchange, where
they have been ever since.
Lloyd's does not undertake insur-
anee business as corporation. The
business is conducted by member
firms under their own account. but in
accordance with the rules of the so
ciety, which thus compares to the
stock exchanges and similarly regu-
lated market places
Lloyd's is also an organization for
the collection and distribution Of mar
thine intelligence. and this is pub
ished in Lloyd's List. The List, found
ed in 1896 as Lloyd's News, is with
one exception the oldest current news
paper in Europe The corporation
also publishes various works for the
benefit Of members. shippers and the
business world in general

Famous Notes of "Taps"
Originated in Civil War

The air for Taps was composed
by Gen. Daniel. Butterheld. One day
in July Of 1862. when the Army Of the
Potomac was in camp at Harrison's
Landing on the James river. Virginia,
General Butterfeld summoned his
bugler and after whistliDg some new
tune asked the bugler to sound il for
him. This was done, not quite to his
satisfaction at first, but after repeat
ed trials. changing the time Of some
Of the notes. which were scrubbed on
the back Of an envelope, the call was

He then ordered that il should be
substituted in his brigade for the reg
ulation Taps ('Extinguish Lights'D,
which was printed in the Tactics and
used by the whole army. This was
done for the first time that night.
Some time later permission was given
to substitute 1t throughout the Army
Of the Potomac for the time-honored
call which came down from West
Point. In the western armies the reg
ulation call was used until the au-
tumn Of 1853. One Of General But
terfeld's reasons for changing the call
was that he considered the old sex
