favoring the appropriation.
 The route which the bridge will serve is kwown as the "Atr Line" route, which Is the short route from Waterbury to Boston. The present bridge is 36tyears old and inasmuch as it was never planned to carry the ardous in the opinion of many, espe- cially when the draw is open. Hundres and hundreds of Wa terburians use the bridge during the summer months. During the summer traffic is not only held up in the im- mediate vicinity of the bridge but it Is slowed down and even stopped for miles in every direction, espe- cially during the summe and early fall.
 It was argued yesterday that fur ther highway construction in the section which the present bridge serves and which the new one would serve would not be wise without modern suspension bridge at the point in question. The bridge was referred to as being at the meek of the bottle.'
 Several years ago fills were made in the river and have been allowed to settle in anticipation of the erec- ton of the new bridge.
 The Waterbury legislators told the committee on finance that their sec- tion of Connecticut favors the erec- iton of the bridge as 1t will serve not only private motorists but also aid truckers running lines out of Waterbury to Boston to make better time.

HUNGER MARCHES THRU AMERICA

Tomorrow-and yet not as yester-
day-Hunger marches across America
For as the grey ranks of this multi
tude advances it growls, searching
like an animal for food for its young.
In the front ranks there are leaders,
and here and there red flag is be-
ing hoisted. Hunger is doing what
prosperity made difficult is weld
ing those of many tongues and races
into a vast brotherhood of the starv-
ing, in quest of food. Tramp tramp
The legions push on. A woman holds
her child above her head and cries
WORK AND BREAD" The chant
grows into a laundering chorus

When the army of Hunger marches
across America, then gentlemen be-
hind your desks in Washington, sun
ming on the beaches in Florida, en-
joying the sights of the blue Medic c.

For the army will never halt until
it quenches its hunger, and its search
for bread and work will carry the
marchers further than any but their
leaders and vanguard now realize.
The march is started And there is
no turning back!

heavy thuds of shabby, sullen feet.
March-march. From leaning, grey
tenements, subway stoops, back alley
ways; up from dark Easements; out
of flop houses and empty baggage
cars; from farms whose lands lay
waste; whose kitchens and barns are
empty, pours an army thrice ten
million strong.
1t is the army of the destitute the
unemployed, the dispossessed. An
army larger than the whole of New

Workmen whose tools and bread
have been snatched from their hands,
children who are bullied in bread
lines, farmers whose toil-calloused
hands, white and colored, hang use
less at their sides, whose pillow shafts
are broken, women whose children
are in want, girls whose bodies are
bartered for meal,-all are on the
march-in search of food. work and

tribes killed off their old, and young,
when there was not enough food for

NEGRO TOOL IN

Diagne Betrayer of the
Senegal Masses

PARIS, Feb. In line with the
rapidly crystallizing policy of the
world bourgeoisie of making increas-
ing use of the Negro petty bourgeois
elements for the betrayal of the
struggles of the Negro masses, the
French imperialists have, for the first
time in French history, included a
Negro Deputy in the new French
Cabinet which was organized few
days ago under the leadership Of
Pierre Laval.
The Negro member of the Cabinet
is Deputy Blaise Diagne, of Senegal
who has been appointed Under
Secretary of Colonies as a reward for
his support of the inperiaHsts in
their exploitation and oppression of
the native masses in the French
African colonies.
Negro workers will realize, however,
that the imperialist oppressors re-

of imperialism and apologists for the

of Negro workers are being ground

CRISIS SHARPENS

Unemployment Relief

BUDAPEST, Hungary.-The unem-
ployment crisis in Hungary is stead
ily sharpening. At the moment there
are three-quarters of million I'M
employed workers in the country.
Further, many of those workers who
are still employed are on short time.
There is neither state nor municipal
support for the unemployed in Hun
gary and as a result misery and des-
titution are rapidly increasing.
The masses of the unemployed
workers are growing more desperate
and more radical every day, as proved
by their frequent demonstrations.
The influence of the illegal Commu-
mist Party of Hungary on the masses
of the unemployed workers is stead
lily increasing. Unemployment is still
growing. The authorities, with the
assistance of the social democracy
are trying to keep the masses quiet
with palIiatives..
The Hungarian Communist Party
regards it as one of its most i'm
portant tasks to lead the struggle OF
the unemployed workers 1t there
fore associates itself with the appeal
for an International Day Against
Unemployment on Feb. 25 and will
make all organizational and political
preparations for the carrying out OF
the day throughout Hungary. Or

lead the unemployed in the struggle
for state unemployment support, free

Union.

TUUL ORGANIZES
PECAN SHELTERS
Miserable Conditions
Exist Among Mexicans
by Worker Correspondent,

(Ry Worker Correspondent
SAN ANTONIO, Texas.-The Pecan
Shelters Of San Antonio were called
to a meeting again Sunday Feb. LIST
and over two hundred responded to
the call.
Last Sunday, at the first meeting
held by the Trade Union Unity
League Of the Pecan Shelters about
eighty were present and twenty five
joined the Food Workers Industrial
League. At yesterdays meeting, an
executive committee of fifteen work
ers was elected to not only organ
ize these miserably exploited work
ers but to organize the Mexican
workers of San Antonio into other
Unions and Leagues of the T.U.UL.
While in and about San Antonio,
the Mexican worker is the most ex-
plotted and the poorest paid, the
pecan shelters suffer more than the
workers of any other industry. In
San Antonio, this is one of the lar
geSt industries, and the workers are
mostly Mexican young women and
boys.
In many of the factories, these
workers only work 8 days week and
where they work the entire week, the
average wage is about $500. The
wages of these workers run from
rs cents to $500 a week, a few Of
the highest skilled making as high
as $500 a week but the number OF
workers receiving this amount is very
small. They work nine hours day
on an average.
1t is impossible to live as they
should and get enough to eat even
with the entire family working. The
result is that most of the Mexican
workers here live in little two or three
room huts, two or three families,
eight or ten people in house.

proved the willingness of these work.

and to organize into Union for
