hundred workers and jobless work
ers paraded through Seattle streets,
with thousands demonstrating along
the way, when the National Hunger
March delegation started from here,
at IL a. M, Nov. IS. The marchers
followed a truck which carried a big
sign: From Washington to Wash
ington." They carried placards with
demands for insurance and for no
imperialist war, no attack on the So
Wet Union. The march was lead by
II year old boy, Ray Thomas. He
is one of a family of 10, of whom
four have been taken from home and
placed in institutions because they
were starving. Norman's father has
been blacklisted and can get neither
job nor any relief because he was
active in saw mill strike.
The Seattle delegation is made up
of four from Seattle itself, two from
Portland, one from Aberdeen, one
from Bellingham, and one from
Spokane. One member is a Negro,
one is an American Indian, one is

Youth TO March.

Youth TO March.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. GA
mass city hunger march Of young
workers, women and children will
take place in Cleveland on Friday,
November 81 at 200 p. m. The young
workers and other marchers will
gather from all parts of the city and
march to the city hall where they
will present their demands to may
or Burton.
The march will take place on the
day after Thanksgiving when the
bosses of America eat all the turkey
they can and talk about how much
they give to the poor. To fool the
workers into believing that they pro-
vide for the needy they give out a
few Thanksgiving baskets. This
march will be direct answer to such
bunk.
The demands which the young
workers will present TO the city gov
eminent are based on conditions ex-
posed at open hearings and they are
as follows.
Five dollars weekly cash relief
for all young unemployed with free
lodging for the homeless unem-
ployed youth.
2.-Free food and clothing for the
children of the unemployed.
8. Opening Of public buildings
such as schools, YMCA'S, ETC., for
free use of gyms by young unem-
ployed spoTtsner.
4--Arnlories and other public
buildings to be opened for young
workers in order that they do not
have to sleep out Of doors in the
cold winter months.
5.--Unenployment insurance al
the bosses expense without discrimi-
nation against young workers.
Efhgies and cartoons of young
workers being refused relief by the
charities, exposing the Community
Fund and other fake bosses relief
agencies, will be made by the John
Reed Club of Cleveland.

New Determination
There is new determination
among the miners now as result Of
the bitter experiences with whole Sc
ries of local and district tools of the
operators. They have seen their
strikes sold out time and time again
by operators agents planted in their
ranks and this time they are organ
izing their own committees These
are not yet free from company ele-
ments and the hangers-on Of the
Lewis oylan machine. But any
would-be leader who tries TO water
down the demands or who tries TO
put over some other program thar
that of organization and militant
struggle will not last long.
The main task of the miners now
is to extend and strengthen Their
