Workers. while 1,500 delegates, elected by you carry
your demands for Unemployment insurance and Winter Re
lief to the capital of the nation campaign Of violence and
lies Embossed by the capitalists against these delegates who
making this National Hunger March, and against their
demands.
To this attack-and to the proposals of the National
Hunger March, every worker every honest element of
cety, must give an answer. WHERE DO YOU STAND?
The Hoover administration, with its usual despicabe
hypocrcy and anworkng class violence has attempted to
paint the action of the workers of this country support of
the elemental needs of 100000 jobess and starving
plot and given the signal to every local police and
fascist scounde to waylay and physically attack the march
ers to Washington.
To back this up with an air Of pretended soctude for
the unemployed the Clifford Hoover Commission has issued
lying statement full of empty phrases the effect that
unemployment relief is adequately met"
But who is to believe this ridiculous lie? Not the
who in growing number the crisis rapidly
in spite of all the bunk spread by the Hoover optimss
headed by Secretary Lamont suffer inoerabe starvation
cold and hunger by innumerabe of arva
tion suicide and insanity
The Clifford Commission itself assemble figure of
the funds available to for the millions of unemployed
reckoned by them according to ancient and false statistics
G00O00O but actually to the figure including part
time unemployed to not less than 12000000 than the alb
surd of $150000000 This, if the Commissions
figure of 100000 jobles is taken-eans not SIS
relief to carry each jobess worker through the year!
Where, then does the unspeakable liar who edits the
n T. Times get the authority of facts to state that mo
in the country will be compelled to go cold and sugr?
Even in New York City, the estimate of relief available to
each destitute FAMILY is the miserable Of $So give
for god knows how ongat least till another year year
may bring another such starvation DOLE!
WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER TO THIS APOLOGY FOR
MASS STARVATION?
The American Federation of Labor heads William Green
and Matthew Wo the latter who quite openly the
spokesman for the capitalists of the National Civic Fedora
on supporting the capitalist program of hunger and
violence and Vol exces all other fascist scoundres
ing the to attack the National Hunger March
with club and gun.
The Greens and VOLS with their bellies full of bribery
openly attack the demands Of the workers even those of the
A. F. of L., for Unemployment Insurance.
WHAT is YOUR ANSWER TO THIS FASCIST IN
CITATION AGAINST THE STARVING MILLIONS AND
THE DEMANDS WHICH EXPRESS THEIR ELEMENTAL
NEEDS?

Mooney, it became clear that Walker
never intended to work for the re-

Since Mayor Walker has entered

Where Do YOU Stand?

More clevery disguised than these openly cynical de-
tenders of the RICH who might have part with tiny part
of their sweated profits the demands of the National Hun
March met the motley elements assembled
the Hotel Hamilton in Washington under the of the
Joint Committee on Unemployment"
This Committee" headed by bevy of individual as
prants for fame and office and elected by nobody let alone
workers, have vaguely worded program that somehow,
sometime perhaps by act of god is expected to become
reality only by those who innocent of common sense
But the of how far this windy disguise for
doing nothing is likely to get with its program" be
given by noting the fact that the demagogc Mayor Murphy
Of Detroit is of the stars in this Joint Committee
Mayor Murphy, whose police both Nov 25 and Nov g.
attacked with clubs and tear the and children of
the unemployed of Detroit who declared he would
prosecute these unemployed workers who survived the
bombs thrown by the police and tossed them back among
the blue-coats of Mayor Murphy
WHAT is YOUR ANSWER TO THIS COMMITTEE OF
DECElVERS AND DEMAGOGUES WHO PRETEND TO
SUPPORT THE UNEMPLOYED YET WHO SHAKE THE
HAND OF MAYOR MURPHY?
Workers, the Unemployed National Hunger March is
the ONLY ACTION of the themselves against hun
ger and starvation The workers themselves organizing
Block Committees to resist evicons Of penniess families
into the cold by graspng landlords in their Unemployed
Councils which fight for immediate relief for the destitute
from and local agency have themselves built UP
the National Hunger March and the demands it is taking
Washington
These demands in their principal outline are simple,
reasonable and can be realized! They demand Unempoy
met Insurance at full wages for all unemployed and part
time workers. as the expense of the capitalists and their
government to be administered by the workes They de-
mand immediate $3.50 White Relief to each job
less worker with $50 additiG,al to each dependent.
But above ALL these demands and the National Hunger
March, are the ONLY CONCRETE DEMANDS AND THE
ONLY DEFINITE ACTION to aid the unemployed
On side the hypocritica defenders of the swollen
fortunes of the rich the infamous Secret Service pilot dis
coverers and the paid liars of Hoover with the clubs and
tear gas of Mayor Murphy and the smooth pretensons of
the Joint Committee of which he is the perfect example
On the other side is the millon-masses of workers the
employed who have been forced contribute their
reduced wages to cave the fortunes Of the Melons the G
fords and the rest and the unemployed millions who have
been forced to live like wild beasts hunger and
die throughout the land These represented the Ma
tional Hunger March!
ON WHICH SIDE DO YOU STAND FOR THE WORK
ERS OR AGAINST THEM?
