Just what plans were made at tbs
| Department Of Justice conference
with the commissioners is kept secret.
Previous statements of the Federal
| authorities seem to show that they
may attempt to bar the nnarchers at
the district limits on the ground they
will be public charges" This is not
| true.
Assemble Food
Washington workers answering the
call OF the Unemployed Councils have
stored up quantities Of food enough
for the marchers to live on, scantily,
to be sure, for the two days they will
be in the capitol and some food is
being brought along with them. All
this was obtained at the great sac
rifice and expense of the half-paid
employed workers. this sacrifice was
| forced on them by the program Of
the District of Columbia officials, who
try by cold blooded starvation legal
technicalities and force combined to
deny $500 delegates of the jobless
the right to petition congress.
The Women's International League
for Peace and Freedom through its
national office, has protested the plan
to call out the army against the
marcherS.

Overcoming Opposition
The National Hunger Marchers are
smashing through the discourage
ments" ordered for them in the cities
along the way, by the Washington
authorities.
In Vincennes, Ind where the city
administration had made wild threats
and police and deputized American
Legionnaires were assembled to rush
Columns 2, 3 and 5 of the march
right through, the marchers stopped
in front of the big crowd that was
collected, and speakers mounted the
tops of the trucks.
Fireworks
The crowd not only cheered heart
lily, but sent up skyrockets to cele-
brate the arrival Of the marchers.
In cities in lower New York State
where terror situation has existed
the National Marchers from New
England paraded, held meetings, and
generally modified the workers, per-
mits for meetings being granted in
several cases just as the Column APP
preached.
Youngstown Must Feed
In youngstown, usually a terror
center, where the city administration
is owned by the steel companies and
is bitterly hostile TO all workers
movements the struggles of the local
iobleSs has compelled the city govern
ment to promise food and lodging for
the marchers.
Delegations had to be sent TO every
city councilman's home. letters and
kilograms bombarded them, and the
city hall was iammed with workers.
In Youngstown the city administra-
ton was forced to promise to feed and
lodge the marchers on their way back
from Washington.
These victories have been won dur
ing the first two days. Other gains
were made previously. They are due
to combination of the National
Hunger March with intensified local
struggles for relief.
Fiercest Attack in Capital and South
The attack on the march is hottest
in Washington ITSELF and in he cities
along the route Of Column 6 from New
Orleans. Monday in Birmingham,
when the several thousand gathered
at the county court house to hear
the marchers speak, the police at
tackled and dubbed Negro workers in
| the crowd and arrested one of the
marchreS from New Orleans, Joan
Davis, and three Negro workers: Le-
roy Guyton, Frances Wilson and
Resale wilson. Demonstrations
forced the release of Joan Davis.
