 MT Hoover said his personal campaign was based on a desire that the people could ''realize more intimately the difficulties with which their experiment. has been confronted, the disasters which have been. averfed with the forces which have been mobilized for their support and protection"
 'I hope from these discussions they will realize the great crisis we have successfully passed and the unprecedented measures taken which have been designed solely that we might protect and restore the system of life and government endeared to us over 150 years" he said.
 Y T wish to emphasize the great est function of the American citi- zen. The ballot is that most sacred individual act which preserves the great system of self government. I have deep feeling that the choice you make now is more than the choice for another four years.
 There Is great divergence in philosophy of government between the parties which may affect events over q generation. I have been fighting that the wrong course may not be adopted. I have tried to dissolvet he mirage of promises by the reality of facts"
 In concluding his address, Presi- dent Hoover expressed gratitude to the people who came to greet him at cities and towns his train passed through.

"the proper consolidation Of over
tapping bureaus, by the elimination
of the five borough offices, etc."-all

NO EVICTIONS OF
JOBLESS WORKERS
Go Right to City Hall
Or to Rallying Point

NEW YORK. - Workers!
Your hunger march delegates
that you sent to Washington
to demand winter relief and
unemployment insurance were
surrounded by the police and
are virtually prisoners, men
aced with guns and gas.
They have drawn up a statement
to congress which has in it demands
for $50 winter relief and insurance
for all unemployed.
Today they present these demands
to congress.
Today all workers are called to
demonstrate at the City Hall at noon
to back up the demands on con-
gress.
Starving Here.
The city administration and all the
charities together in New York pro-
vide relief funds for only $1,000 I'M
employed heads of families, less than
one-third of those totally unem-
ployed, which amounts to an average
of 81 a week for those that get relief
at all. Most get none,
Over a quarter of the cases inves-
tigated by the Home Relief Bureau
get no relief, and those that do get
some have to wait weeks while the
red tape is unwound.
It is impossible for more than q
million jobless in this city to live
this way. Only few days ago
Estelle Smith was starved to death in
Harlem; only a few days ago Mrs.
Best had her legs crushed when In
desperation she attempted suicide.
In Harlem so per cent of the chill
dren are sick from hunger. Condi-
tons are no better in other work
ing-class neighborhoods.
So far this year, 100000 evictions
have taken place.
Negroes, unemployed workers and
foreign-born workers are discrimin-
ated against; fewer get relief and
less relief is given those.
This can not go on. This must
liOb 20 on.
Demonstrate today for more relief
from the city, for free coal, against
evictions, against red tape in the
Home Relief Bureau, against dis
elimination, as well as for the de-
mands of the National Marchers.-
Come to the City Hall at noon if
you don't belong to an organization.

KIDNAP 6 CALF.
FARM STRIKERS
Strike 100 P. C. Solid,
in Spite of Terror

VACAVILLE, Cal, Dec. 5.-Jail
doors were opened for the strike
breaking agents Of the democratic
boss, Frank H. Buck who kidnapped
six of the strikers jailed here as a
result of Sundays demonstration by
the strikers in front of the City Hall
The six workers, most of whom
took leading part in the strike, were
forced into several automobiles, driy-
en- out of town and brutally beaten
by the thugs. They are: Claude
Thompson, Bob Nelson, Tom Clark,
T. Martinez, Marvin Blackburn and
R. B. Matney.
The strike is now more than a
week old and has successfully tied
up tree pruning work around Vaca-
vile. The 300 tree primers on strike
are fighting wage reduction Of
from $l.50 to SIPS day and the
lengthening of the day from 8 to
hours.
The kidnapping has been engin-
eered by the employers and the Chief
of Police, o. E. Alley who limited
knowledge as to the identity of the
kidnapers, and expressed the hope
that this act Of terrorism would
weaken the strike which to date has
been 100 per cent solid.

CONGRESS PLANS
AID TO RICH
Jobless, Farmers, Vets
to Present Demands

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5. - On a
background of country wide misery
the seventy second Congress as
senlbled in its final session at noon
today prepared to intensity the CAPT
talist onslaught on the living stand
ards of the working class.
New Burdens On Toilers.
Proposed bills before the Congress
show that both the democratic and
republican members of the House
and Senate are determined to bal
ance the budget at the expense of
the toiling masses. These bills call
for new taxes, including sales tax,
in addition to the already heavy tax
burdens on the working class In
addition, bills are offered by the
democrats for further initiation O.
the currency under the pretext Of
banking reforms. thereby lowering
the value of the dollar and increas-
ing the cost of living to the masses.
In these attacks on the working
class, the so-called progressive bloc
in Congress Is fully participating. No
attempt will be made to reduce war
expenditures. On the contrary, new
war appropriations will be voted.
Not A Cent TO Bankers!
Democrats and republicans alike
are using the prohibition question to
sidetrack the fundamental issues OF
relief for the starving unemployed
millions, for social insurance, for
farmers relief and payment Of the
veterans bonus.
But the elected representatives OF
the unemployed, the veterans and
farmers are all here determined to
win their demands from Congress
and stop the bankers raids on the
public treasury.

and tear gas. Police had terTori2ed
all hall owners and prevented the
hiring of any adequate hall in the
city. and when one small one was
hired, the. police Gordon refused to

to it.
The marchers adopted their state
ment of demands to CONGRESS after
discussion, conducted while provo
cateurs threw stones at them from
the hillside, and the provocateurs

committees started up to stop them.
Protests TO the police resulted in the
cops taking a more threatening at

The veterans arrived yesterday
about the same time the hunger
marchers did and we're driven with
them to windy hillside about two
miles from the capitol buildings,
where they have been interned. Many
of these vets beat their way across

lice and railroad dicks, starved, but
they are here with spirits high, sing

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.--About 200
members Of the local Bonus Expedi-

day under the command of Capt.

march of his own in order to disrupt
the mass movement, have dispersed
and no news Of them has been re-
ceived anywhere. The men were sup
posed to board freights and make
their way to Washington, but 1t is
believed that Anthony has shunted
them off in an effort to keep them
from getting to the capitol and joining
the rank and file vets from all over
the country who are now there to
demand immediate payment of the
bonus.
