"deny" themselves their meals on
"Self Denial Day" and contribute thu
price to the city fund out of which,
after the officials get theirs, the
worker may get some breadline soup
when his wages stop entirely.

collected in this way in one day last
week.
More State Marches.
Following the Maryland march,
the jobless of Philadelphia and
Chester will march on April 10 and
II to HarrisbUrgh, the state capital.
In Philadelphia and Chester, city
wide tag days have been arranged
for Saturday, April 4, and Sunday,
Volunteers to make collections are
urged to report not later than noon
Saturday or 10 a. m. Sunday at list

ner St., 1903 Tasker St, 21S LON

It is presumed that preparations
are being made in the Pittsburgh

to approach Harrisburgh from that
side, and that the miners and textile
workers of the Scranton-WilkeSr
Barre section will join the march,
but no details have been received by

Five Ohio Routes.
The Ohio state hunger march
starts along five routes, converging
on Columbus, the state capital, on
April 16. One route begins at Gin
cinnati, in the southwest corner of
the state; another from Toledo, in
the northwest corner; two more start
at Cleveland and youngstown, in the
northeast corner of the state, and
join at Massilon, then go on and
join the Toledo march at Marion.
These marches are all on foot. But
a motorcade will start from the
Steubenville, Martins Ferry region,
and go through the mining fields to
join the other marches in Column
bus.
"Riot or Starve," Hoover Underling

money ran out long before the end

there has been a deficit.
The Emergency Employment Com

and will also eat less, says Turner
The members also believe, though
without presenting figures to prove
it, that the worst of the crisis is
