Delegations From All
Over California in
Hunger March

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 8.-Ten
thousand unemployed, with delega-
lions from all over the state hunger
marched on the capitol building yes
terday and demonstrated for imme-
date relief.
Governor Rolph refused to hear the
elected committee of the jobless in
chambers. He asked to speak to the
demonstrators. The demonstrators
came right back at him by refusing
to listen to him.
For one hour the crowd demanded
that Rolph hear their committee.
They met Rolph with cries: Well
fight! We won's starve!" Rolph could
not speak.
The committee then called upon
the workers to march to the city hall
plaza, and 5000 marched, singing
workers songs, and pledging to con-
tinue the fight for immediate relief
for unemployment insurance. Many
are signing the lists, demanding that
congress pass the Workers unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill to be presented

BERLIN, Jan. 8.-HundredS of
thousands took part in the latest
demonstration of workers seen here
in recent years at the funeral of the
worker, Will Schneider, one of the
two workers murdered on the first

The police adopted an extremely
provocative attitude towards this
powerful demonstration. The singing
of the International was the signal
for the clubbing of women and chill
dren. The police beat down hun
dreds, At two points in the demon
stration the police fired into the
crowds wounding 2 workers. Reichs-
banner leaders rejected wreaths ded-
icated by the Anti-Fascist League

that a new strike wave will ensue

going on. About 80 per cent of the
miners are out in the most important

 Its Nora, isn't it? We hoped you would come straight to us!"
 Nora introduced Jon Thayer to them. She had strong impression of her fathers family Of search ing poverty that brought back her own childhood with it's dirt and drudgery and petty pretense. Her father had known all the time that his sister and her children were middle-class people. No matter what hardships she had gone e through she had always bolstered up her courage with the knowledge that her father came of a fine old family. This, then, was the truth.
 Nora heard controversy raging behind her. Jon must hear it too.
 She can have my room.
 But where will you sleep?"
 "She can't sleep in Fran's room with the children. They'll keep her awake. I can sleep on cot in the store room"
 She can have my rooml" small fair child cried.
 Aunt Elm waved them all to silence. She told Nora that Frances would take her upstairs at once. Frances went ahead up the stairs while Jon followed with the bags.
