sheer Misrepresentation. Wherever
the marchers appear they are greeted
by demonstrations which .conclusively
prove the popularity of the marchers
and their program In fact, this has
caused the local authorities in Wash
ington TO make a complete right about
face in their attitude. It is a reflec-
ton of mass support the movement
for unemployment Insurance and i'm
mediate winter relief has evoked.
