PROVIDENCE, R. T., Dec. 2. -
The New England delegates of the
National Hunger March to Washing
ton forming Column One, left Provi-
dence this morning on their way to
New Haven, where they will stop over
tonight. A crowd of 1000 met them
with enthusiastic greetings and pledg-
es of support last night in Provi-
dence.
Previously, during the day, they
were met by $50 workers Of Norwood,
and at Pawtucket we're escorted out
of town.
The city administration OF Provi-
dence broke its promise to feed and
lodge the workers, but they we're pro-
Hded for by the local workers through
the energetic, last minute prepara-
tions Of the Unemployed Councils and
workers organizations.
The first stop for mass greetings
and a demonstration for unemploy-
ment insurance by the marchers to-
day Is at Putnam.

COLUMN 3

TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 2. - Column
No. 3 of the National Hunger March
on Washington came into Toledo last
night with banner flying, and sing
ing. They were met at the court
house by ten delegates from the un-
employed Of Toledo who here Joined
he march, and by great crowd dem
onstrating its support for the march
and the demands for unemployment
insurance.
After the court house demonstra-
tion, eight hundred workers paraded
with the Hunger Marchers to the
Coliseum, where q meeting of a thou
sand was held. The line of merch was
two blocks long.
The Coliseum mass meeting unani-
mously pledged support to the march
ers, and adopted resolutions denounc-
ing the police attack on this Column
of hunger marchers at Hammond,
Ind. Another resolution demanded
the release OF mooney.
The workers themselves had pre-
pared to feed and house the march
ers. At the last minute, the chair
man of the city welfare department,
who had once refused food to march
ers, changed his mind and offered
to provide 1t. The marchers and the
local Unemployed Councils challenge
him to feed and house the marchers
as they go back through Toledo, II
he wants to show any sincerity.
Today the column leaves, TO 90
through Sandusky, Lorraine, Elmyra
and into Cleveland, where it viii stop
over night. tonight.

COLUMN 4

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. 2. - a
delegates of Column Of the National
Hunger March reached here last
night. A crowd numbering thousands
waited for the march, in spite Of the
cold, and gave the delegates a rous-
ing reception.
The marchers and local unemployed
councils refused the offer OF the city
government to put up the rs1archers
in the miserable city flop house. and
the delegates swere put UP and fed
by the workers Of Cincinnati.
On the way from Indianapolis to
Cincinnati the rnarchers stopped and
held mass meetings with farmers in
Greenfield and Ogden.
In Richmond, police attacked, and
arrested Taylor, q delegate from
California. He Is charged with dis
tributing leaflets calling for support
to the marchers and their demands
for unemployment insurance. The
sheriff Of Union County, Indiana, who
is leader OF the Ku Klux Klan tried
to provoke a fight with the marchers,
but was not successful.
These AZ delegates are all native
born Americans, except for three, so
the K. K. K. anti-foreign born pro-
paganda was rather pointless.
Today the delegation leaves Cincin-
natl on the way to Columbus, where
it will stop over night.

Railways Start Wage Slash
Drive; Union Heads Helping

NEW YORK. - Strong forces are
working TO put over 10 per cent
wage cut for 100000 railroad work
ers. The latest move is the action
Of the Chicago g. Northwestern Rail
road which announced that 1t would
cut wages is per cent. In order TO
terrorize the men, william waIliser,
vice-president OF the railroad, de-
clared that II the wage cut was not
accepted, pensions would be with
drawn.
The call for a IS per cent cut, made
before the meeting Of 1900 local
chairmen Of railroad unions, has the
deliberate purpose Of making 1t easier
for the railroad union officials TO at
tempt to put over the wage cut. The
line will be that by accepting 9 10
per cent cut, the men will have
gained something.
A statement published In the New
York Sun on Wednesday says that
the railroad bosses expect the union
officials to help put over the wage

Chinese Workers Fighting Japanese

Capitalist dispatches of the past
two days show that snti-imperialist
demonstrations of Chinese workers,
peasants, soldiers and students arc
occurring with increasing frequency
and sharpness throughout China i'll
spite of the attacks on the demon
strators by the troops of the Nan
king government.
Fighting between the japanese
troops and Chinese workers continue
In TientSin in spite of the efforts of
the Marking government TO crush the
resistance of the Chinese workers.
United States, Italian, British and
French troops are reported to be
actively supporting the attack on
Ttentsin workers. Guerrilla warfare
is spreading throughout South Man
clluria as the Chinese workers and
peasants repudiate the traitorous
agreements of the Kuonintang with
the irnper1alists. Armed Chinese
workers and peasants have retaken
the town of Paichicho, which was
seized last Friday by the japanese.
Guerrilla warfare Is proceeding be-
tweer, Kowpangtze and Hsinrtn.
Indications are that a section of the
Chinese troons n Chinchow have
defied their officers.

resisting the Japanese invasion in

brazen lie in the local Syracuse pap

Only the action of the rank and
file of the railroad workers can fore
stall any sellout in Chicago on De-
csmber 7 and 9 when the railroad
union officials meet 70 vote on the
10 per cent cut. A vote TO approve
the wage cut means that the uriosl
officials are handing out over $780,
100000, taken from the impoverished
workers, TO be paid out TO rich para
sites in stock and bond dividends.

were resting up after "A hours duty

and last night reached Binghampton
without mishap.
This Column, with the aid Of the

and entered Syracuse right under

rousing welcome and staying over
Monday night, according to schedule.

The National Hunger Marchers were
given a hot meal. Their speakers
were received with great enthusiasm
and the crowd pledged full support
to the demands for unemployment
insurance and winter relief which
the National Hunger Marchers will
present to congress Dec. 7.
Five Binghampton delegates joined
the march. Today Column 2 leaves
for Scranton, Pa, where 1t is TO stay

ton and Scranton, for demonstra-

NEW YORK. --- The capitalist press
here went all astray on the progress
Of Column Two of the National Hun
ger March. The Associated Press
story shows its reporters took the
easy way of accepting the Syracuse
and state police officers word for
what they were going to do, and that
the reporters did not try to find out
what the rnarchers did do. The "A,
p" story appears in the New York
Times of Dec. as follows:

Other city papers report Hunger
Marchers Missing" and tell OF frantic
efforts to locate them on the high
way south of Syracuse, the reporters
still being under the impression that
the police would surely keep them
out OF Syracuse. While the reporters
were hunting for the march along
the road to Binghampton Monday
night, the narchers were quietly
sleeping in Syracuse, and the police
we're still drinking in the cold rain;
