first step in getting subscriptions.
Make Contacts Permanent
The Daily Worker subscription
campaign must make permanent the
contacts created through the march
to Washington. These contacts must
be turned as quickly as possible into
subscriptions. The return of the
Hunger Marchers is the time for
getting these subscriptions.
The Advance Has Begun
Now is the time to act. The sub
scription campaign has only one
month to run, The solid day 10 day
work by the unemployed councils to

not hear.
Mooney Before the Masses.
Official Washington has heard and
seen the Hunger Marchers demand
the unconditional release of Tom
Mooney and Warren Billings before
the capitol, before the White House
before the palatial home of A. F.. OF
L. officialdonn-and before the scores
Of thousands who forgot all about
congress except that it opposes un-
employment insurance and the re-
lease OF Mooney and Billings.
Along the whole line Of march, and
during the course Of the demonstra-
lions before the capitol and the
White House but one boo" was
heard. 1t came from a drunken in
dividual in the uniform of a marine
officer.
Hundreds Of Negroes, in addition
to those jamming the sidewalks, ac-
companied the Hunger Marchers
every foot OF the way from the mo-
ment they left the barracks until the
Auditorium was reached.
Frantic Lies of Press.
The press OF the capital lied fran
tically. 1t tried to keep spectators
away by playing UP the danger to
life and limb as a result of the mill
tary preparations and what it pic
tured as the warlike character OF the
Hunger March. Now 1t tries to show
that the lack of violent clashes was
due solely to the extensive prepara-
lions made by the police and mill
tary. The Daily News says, for in
stance:
Bluecosts swarmed all over the
Capitol and In the crevices OF the
building. Machine guns were nested
to care for any serious outbreak
-. At 10 o'clock . double line Of
policemen were drawn UP before
the main steps Of the capitol -.
Fifty more were inside the build
ing. Twenty five were armed
with tear gas grenades, carrying
thirty grcnades each, and nine with
tear gas guns. -. Inspector Davis
instructed his men as he placed
them At their posts. Z don't want
any pussyfooting,' he said. You
men will do your duty as you see
fit. We will permit only ten Of the
group to leave the circle for the
capitol building. II any more try
to leave we will gas them -.
Inside the capitol the entire police
force -. 30 men in uniform were
on duty supplemented by plain
clothes detectives. In the crypt
under the capitol dome 50 uni
formed metropolitan reserves spent
the morning. -. Outside tho build
ing the capitol plaza fairly bristlcd

tailed.

the Hoover administration, said edi-

gates, but, as in the cose Of Vice.
President Matthew Vol, actually
worked night and day to incite still
further suppression of the Hunger
Marchers, and the whole struggle
for Unemployment Insurance, and
immediate winter relief. They re-
fused to consider the demand for a
referendum on unemployment insur-
ance among the membership of the
A. r. Of l.. unions, knowing that
such a referendum would repudiate
the infamous decision of the Van
couver Convention against govern
ment Unemployment Insurance.
In no country except in the Rus
sia of the Cars had there ever been
witnessed such callous disregard of
the hunger mad sufferings Of the mil
lions of wealth producers, in no other
country has there even been such
costly and elaborate military reply
to the demands Of hungry millions

cost Of khe capitalist class, responsible
for the growing and permanent mass
unemployment.

that the nlarchers, who were neither
hungry nor marching, were ordered
out Of the Helping Hand by the Of
ficals Of that organization
Score Press Lies
This is not true, and the repre-
representatives. Of the press who we're
present know that this is direct
misstatement. We, marchers after
having through our local committee,
assurance from the City Council Of
Pittsburgh and the officials Of the
Helping Hand that wholesome food
would be provided, that all trucks
would receive gasoline and that warm
sleeping accommodations would also
be provided, found that we were to
receive instead food that was not fit
for human beings, and can be more
correctly classified as garbage.

Allegheny County has given millions
OF dollars to the Welfare Fund for
relief for the unemployed" The
sinking slop that was witnessed by
us on the tables of the Helping Hand
on the night of Dec. 4, indicates that
the millions of dollars collected by the
Welfare fund are only providing Slop
for the local unemploymed workers Of
this community. The local admin
istration of the city and county seems
to be able to provide pigs with titled
floor palaces, but jobless workers Of
this community are given food that
even these pigs in the specially built
brick mansions would refuse"
Refute Gibson
The committee, of eight members,
then demanded real food, warm clean
housing and gas and oil for trucks
when the marchers come back
through Pittsburgh.
DIR. Gibson, of the Helping Hand
was also before the city council,
painting beautiful picture Of ideal
conditions in that institution, but he
wilted and began speechless before
the exposure by the COMMITTEES.
The committee told how one unem :,
ployed worker there last month died
OF the poisonous filth served as food.
DR.. Gibson claimed he did not
know Of these conditions. He stated
that the Local Arrangements Com
mittee for the Hunger March tasted
a sample of the food beforehand and
found it all right.
Thereupon Tom Rodgers, for the
committee, pointed out that the food
was not up to the sample and the shop
was served instead OF what was given
the committee to taste.
The city council washed its hands
Of the affair, claiming it had no
power to intervene"
Edith Briscoe, for the committee,
forced to the front the special de-
nlsnds for $3.50 for each unemployed
worker as cash relief from the city,
no eVictions, welfare funds to be ad-
mfnistered by committees Of the Job
less and workers. the subway fund to
be used for relief. ETC., but the coun-
Gil sidestepped all this.
