THE situation Of the dresSrnakers

work means a mad speed-up, 1t

BATTLE COPS in
PITTS. MARCH
City Council Refuses
Food to Starving

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. l5.--A
thousand workers and jobless same
out yesterday to hunger march on
the city hail. although the police had
made an armed camp of the streets.
The entire police force, the fire de-
partment, the county officials were
modified to smash the heads of the
unemployed workers who we're de-
manding work or relief.
Motor cycle patrols fifty strong
rode arrogantly through the working
class district terrorizing and menac-
ing men, women and children. They
were headed by Police Superintend-
ent Walsh to make sure that they
carried out their brutalities to the
limit and give them morals.
Singing
BY sheer mass smuggling and club
bling, the police broke up two hunger
marches. The workers and jobless
fought back militantly, and seven
we're arrested.
Despite the display of armed force
and the police terror that reigned in
the streets, and despite the previous
refusal of the city council to hear the
representatives o. the jobless, the
elected delegation of the unemployed
forced its way into the city hall and
into the council session and forced
them to listen.
The workers and jobless are every
where discussing the demonstration

League as leader of the unemployed

OLD BURIAL GROUND
AT MD.-DEL. LINE
Is Hidden In Clump OF Wood Near
Old Bethel Church

In the center of the Southern
boundary line between Delaware and
Maryland is located an odd burying
ground. Hidden in a clump of woods
along the road side and adjoining
the old Bethel Church is this quaint
cemetery. On the southern side of
the road is wild looking section of
Maryland and on the northern side
where the graves are located in Del
aware the landscape is grown up
with the ravages of time.
In this cemetery are buried some
of the early settlers of this section
whose names and fame are still
known to present generations. The
peculiar part of the burying ground
is the formation of the early graves.
No mounds of earth mark these in
terments but the graves are easily
located by shingle roofs. AS if to
protect them from destructive storms
so that the eternal sleep of the patri-
archs may be peaceful a peaked
shingle roof was constructed over
the resting places. These shelters
are about three feet high in the
middle, and the sides slant down to
the earth. They run the length of
the graves forming a perfect peaked
roof. They are built of wood and
