the workers went to 15oth Street and
Morris Avenue to continue their work.
There the stool-pigeon succeeded
in organizing a gang to throw eggs.
The meeting was later adjourned and
the workers went to 149th Street and
Bergen Avenue, in front of voltm-
teers Of America soup kitchen and
held another meeting.
This was too much for the cops and
they rode into the crowd with their
horses and broke up the meeting.
The lower Bronx was closely guarded
by police.
This did not intimate the work
ers. The Unemployed Councils sue
ceeded in carrying the message of
struggle for relief to the workers and
modified them for the demonstration
at Union Square.
Two hundred and fifty young work
ers assembled at 18th Street and
Eighth Avenue and marched toward
Union Square. After passing 26th
Street two cops tried to interfere.
The young workers resisted and a taxi
driver tried to interfere he was also
beaten back
While marching further down at
14tb Street. there was already q
squad of police on horseback and in
cars, and on Fourteenth, police re-
fused to let the youth into Square.
Young workers resisted A clash,
torn placards, ETC., and the youth
marched into the Square. Cops vici-
ously tore up a huge poster showing
the workers on top OF the world, with
a huge red flag, and saying "Interna-
tional Fighting Day" Young work.
ers picked up torn pieces and refixed
the sign.
Many of the speakers received
enthusiastic oveations. They called
for broadening OF the struggle for
unemployment relief; pointed out the
significance of the world fight against
hunger. The main question stressed
by all the speakers was the fact that
the struggle for unemployment relief
and unemployment insurance must
be organized on a broad mass basis,
in the Unemployed Councils, trade
unions, in all workers organizations,
in the shops; that the fight must be
continued and based on the solid
ranks of the workers employed and
unemployed.
Without doubt, this was the best
organized demonstration yet held in
New York City. The spirit OF the
marching groups was inspiring.
Despite the provocation of the police,
the demonstration dispersed in an
organized fashion.
The workers held their ranks after
the demonstration. At the end of the
gathering, the police rushed in with
riot wagons. They kept their sirens
shrieking to stir up the workers and
precipitate fight. The workers kept
order and dispersed without letting
themselves be provoked.

When the delegation reaches AL
bany. concrete demands will be pre-
sented to the state legislature for
immediate relief.
AT Newburgh, New York, the DEM
onstration on Feb, Is, which was also
a mobilization for the Albany hunger
march, was granted a permit. Over
800 workers gathered in front of the
city hall. The permit stated that no
reference was to be made about peo-
pie starving in Newburgh, and no
statement was to be made that the
Newbrgh city government was not
taking care of its unemployed.
The speakers read the permit to
the workers. The unemployed booed
it. The city manager was looking at
the demonstration from window Of
the city hall. He tried to heckle the
speaker.
The workers pledged enthusiastic
support to the Albany hunger march
which goes through Newburgh.
At Poughkeepsie, another city
through which the hunger marchers
pass, 400. met despite the great terror
that has been going on for the last
two days. Each member Of the IN
employed Council was warned that
he would be locked up If he went
around the counucil hall Most of
the $50 men in the Unemployed
Council are married men who depend
on city charity for food. This morn
ing when they came for their weekly
allowance they we're informed that
no member Of the Unemployed Com-
Gil would get food.
A big rally is expected in Pough-
keepsie when the hunger marchers
go through this city on their way to
Albany to present the demands of
the New York unemployed to Gov
ernor Roosevelt They will expose the
action Of the city in attempting to
smash the militant Unemployed
Council.

ton in cities of 10000 population and

consumers retail dollar spent for food
amounted to 1894, with 5.04 per cent
expended in restaurants
The combination store, handling fresh
meat as we'll as groceries and produce,
is now the leading type Of food outlet,
accounting for about "a per cent OF re-
tail food sales.
Food chains Of all kinds, including
confectionery, dairy and others. as well
as grocery chains were found to do
about 40.l per cent of the total retail
food business. If only combination
grocery and meat stores are constd-
cred. then chains handle about 42,6 per
cent of the total volume in these out
lets.
