ftcials of Binghampton to prevent the
returning delegates of Column 7, on
its way from Washington to Buffalo
from entering the city and making
a report.
Challenge to Workers.
To the extent that the city govern
ments show they realize the impor-
lance of preventing the delegates
from coming home and reporting, SO
should the workers, employed and
unemployed, realize the necessity of
assembling and hearing their dele
gates report. This was done in Bing-
hampton, in spite of all police oppo-
sition, and is being done by the re-
assembled western marchers.
Crash Through In Binghampton.
BINGHAMPTON, N. Y, Dec. 10.
State, county and city officials and
police, armed to the teeth barred
Column of the National Hunger
March from entering to stop over
here where local workers had as
sembled food and provided shelter for
them. The armed forces of the To-
cal and state government drove the
main body of Column past the city,
and toward Syracuse.
The police however we're surprised
when they found out that the thir-
Teen Binghanton delegates slipped
through the police lines and appeared
at the arranged mass meeting and
reported to the local workers.
In spite of the fact that the police
hal put ban on this meeting and
had announced through the papers
that under no circumstances would
a meeting be allowed the delegates,
with the militant support of the To-
cal workers, held very successful
and enthusiastic meeting even though
the scene around the meeting hall
resembled an armed camp.
The workers in Binghamton were
enraged by the actions of the city
authorities, and resolutions of pro-
test were drawn up and adopted and
Immediately sent to the city mayor
and the different councilmen. The
workers pledged themselves, in view
of the actions of the local authori-
lies to do all in their power to help
develop the struggles of the unem-
ployed, and pledged their solidarity
and determination to struggle
against the local police terror
Win Immediate Relief
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 12-Approxi-
mately ninety per cent OF the de-
mands, especially for grocery orders
and clothing orders to be issued with
in 48 hours were won, when broad
committee of 80 unemployed workers,
elected by Council SO of 5132 South
State Street, forced Mrs. Warner, the
supervisor of the lakewood Relief
Station to listen to their grievances.
The workers applying for relief at
this station had been abused and mis-
treated. Police harrassed them con-
tinuously. Promises to investigate
cases were never carried out Unem-
ployed council committees were al
lowed only three days a week in which
to bring complaints. After the second
interview starving families had to
wait weeks and often months for
relief.
In the "hog- killer" room, as the
workers named the waiting room, a
cop drew his gun when the committee
demanded to see the supervisor This
aroused the anger OF the workers and
they forced him to make a hasty
retreat.
The following demands we're won:
Immediate grocery orders to all
cases presented.
Clothing and rent per demands to
be given within 40 hours.
Reprimand toscase workers on spe-
cific abuses Of workers.
No social worker is to ask former
employer to aid her client, when in
uegtigating work record. nor to inform
