WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec.
AT 1880 tonight the Ma
tiOnal Hunger Marchers from
the North we're camped on a
cold, windy hillside just out
side the Washington city limits
on the Baltimore road. They
have been driven there by
Washington police. The police are
trying to terrorize the marchers into
returning home, which they refuse
to do.
At late hour last night the
marchers, all nine columns of them,
we're together, surrounded by the
thugs of the government armed with
machine guns, who were keeping all
persons away from them. Hundreds
Of Negro workers from Washington
gathered in the outskirts of town,
waiting to greet the marchers, but
were not allowed to approach them.
The marchers have no shelter, and
trucks with food trying to go into
the camp were not allowed by the
police to enter.
The hillside on which the marchers
are held adjoins the Pennsylvania
Railroad yards 1t has the yards on
one side, and woods on the other.
Streets leading out to it are roped
off by the police, and heavy guards
posted No one is allowed in.
The northern marchers, nearly
1000 strong were accompanied by
Maryland police from Baltimore TO
the District of Columbia. At that
point the District police met them,
led them by what was said TO be a
short cut" to the city, and when
they got them on the hillside by the
railroad yards, surrounded them and
held them there.
The 1900 eStern delegates reached
the limits of the District Of Column
bia a little after pm. were stopped
by police, and finally reached the
same camp.
The six truckloads Of delegates
from the South were treated the
same way, and arrived at the same
camp
The marchers demand the right to
enter the city Of Washington, TO hold
there their national conference Of
the unemployed, and to go in body
to the capitol building Tuesday to
present demands for winter relief
and unemployment insurance.
Every one of these thousands OF
is an elected delegate from
mass meetings and demonstrations
of starving unemployed workers, or
from some workers organization in
one of the industrial citadels Of
profits and hunger strewn across
the country from coast to coast.

DEMOCRATS PLAN
A S ALE TAX
To Gouge $500, 900, 900
From the Workers

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec, A.
The Democratic majority in Congress
is openly campaigning for rider
Clauses AIDED, having nothing to do
with the original matter in the bilD
to the bill legalizing and taxing beer.
The beer bill will be submitted
when Congress opens tomorrow, and
the "rider" will be for a sales tax.
The amount of the tax suggested
so far is one per cent.
The reason for the sales tax is
given as the need for balancing the
budget now about $1,8oo,0o0,00O The
proponents of the sales tax figure
that by 1t they can extort from the
workers who still have jobs and buy
food something like S6OO,00O,0o0 an
nually.
Never for once did they suggest
balancing the budget by cutting down
on the hundreds of millions slated
for war preparations. Never once
did they suggest sur-taxes on the
great corporations. They turn only
to plans for making living costs
higher for the workers, for reducing
the standard of living of the work.
ers and farmers.
Some Of the Senate democrats are
reported afraid of the effect of a
sales tax, coming in with the De-
mocratic administration. They sug-
gest the beer tax alone. 1t is re-
ported that Roosevelt, President
lect and therefore head of the Dem
ocratic Party, will be called in to
decide which form of taxation shall
prevail. And it is also reported that
Roosevelt depends largely on the
advice Of Speaker Garner of the
House of Representatives an advoc-
ate of the sales tax as well as the
beer tax.

WASHINGTON, Lee, 4-Threats
by the United States and other i'm
perialist powers of trade reprisals in
the increasingly bitter struggle over
the war debts are being accompanied
by new demands for huge increases
in the U. S. Army and Navy.
On Saturday, Secretary of War
Hurley in his annual report to
Hoover demanded increased appr6-
priations for the army and opposed
the present sham discussion on
Philippine independence, on the
grounds of existing conditions
throughout the world" demanded
large increases in land armament.
At the same time Secretary of the
Navy Adams demanded the building
up of the U. S. Navy to the London
Treaty, that is, equality with the
British rivals OF u. ). Imperialism
and 5-3 ratio Of superiority over
its Japanese rivals. He also de-
manded huge aTrplane construc-
ton. Despite the sham talk OF
Philippine independence, the U. S.
impcrialists intends TO hold on to
the Philippine as war base against
Japan.
Increasing opposition is evident in
Congressional circles to the British
and French demands, backed by
some of the smaller European states,
for delay on the debt instruments due
on December Is and for cancellation
of the war debts.
The British threat Of trade repri-
sails against the United States we're
answered by counter threats by
members of Congress thus greatly
sharpening the war danger.

Just a few hours before Premier Her
riot opened at Vannes a celebration OF
the fourth centenary Of the union oil
Brittany with France, q great monu-
ynent at Rennes. cOmmemorating that
union. was destroyed by an explosion
attributed to a group Of Breton autono-
rnists who have lately been manifesting
extreme animosity toward the centenary
fetes. This incident brings to light
vividly a fact which has long been for
gotten save probably in France, that
certain Bretons have for generations in
spirit If not in act resisted the union.
They have clung to their native Ian
guage and customs. In 1911, when the
monument was unveiled, they boycotted
the ceremonies and some fear was then
felt lest the dedication might lead to
an uprising which, though of course
homeless would result in serious dis
turbances.
Brittany is largely peopled by Celts

AS result Of intermarriages, however,
Brittany came under French influence.
In 14ol, when Duke Francis dled

Anne, married Charles VIII Of France
and her daughter, Claude, became the
Queen of Francis I, under whom
treaty was concluded i'm 1882, annexing
Brittany to France, though with guar
antees for its local liberties. 1t was
this annexation or union with France
that the monument dedicated in 1911
commemorated, and, likewise, the CEN
tenary ceremonies of yesterday were
planned to the same end.
These ancient provincial claims to
autonomy have frequently arisen in
Europe to perplex statesmen and to
complicate national and also interna-
tional problems. Brittany has at times

which were Teutonic when taken by
Louis XIV of France and retaken by
Germany In 1871 and then recovered
by France as result of the Great War.
Brittany, however, has not passed back
and forth from one national suzerainty
or sovereignty to another, but has re-
manned French in respect to govern
ment and in large degree in respect to
language as well, since the annexation
of 1882. This incident of the destruc-
ton of the commemorative monument
may cause some revival of the oppoSi-
ton, but cannot possibly have any ef-
feet to the end of satisfaction of the
autonomist claims of the stubborn
Bretons.

Railroad Plea for EquaIitv
of Opportunity Approved

Cincinnati Enquirer points out that
''the public is vitally interested in any,
thing the railroads can do to improve
their status" because their securities
are widely held. more widely held than
any other securities except those of
the United States ITSELF and they
are still our largest industry
Declaring that the statement Of the
railway executives deserves sympathetic
consideration" the Providence Journal
suggests that "the issue is how long the
present harmful state of affairs must
exist before constructive solutions are
reached" The Journal contends that
a solution of the rail problem is vital
to the general welfare, because Of the
basic part the railroads play in the in
duStrial and commercial life of the
Nation and the Importance of the re-
lationship between rail securities and
such institutions as savings banks and
insurance companies, for whose invest
ments stability and security, and a
moderate but certain yield, are essential
requisites.
That costly competition must 20 and
regulation of highway freighters and
passenger buSSeS must come to pass"
and that this would be doing Justice
to all concerned" is the contention of
the Troy Record "If the depression
has done nothing else constructive" as
sertS the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
1T has driven home to railroad manage
mentS and the public alike the need for
changes which will put the railroads on
all equal footing with new modes of
transportation.
According to the Altoona Mirror, the
time has come when 1t is necessary to
give the railroads a fair deal, while
the Trenton Advertiser comments: "If
the railroads are to be hog-tied by all
sorts OF regulatory measures, they be-
l1eYe that their competitors should also
be. 1t must be remembered that a
railroad which transports freight on a
road it has built at its own expense and
on which it pays taxes cannot compete
on a fair basis with trucking COM
pany. which operates on roads built by
the people for the use of which the
trucking company pays little or moth
ing"
The Grand Rapids Herald expresses
the opinion that no plan of consolida-
tlons can solve the present perplexing
problems of the railroads The appeal"
continues that paper, "of the Associa-
ton OF Railway Executives reveals the
real seriousness of the situation Either
relaxation of governmental regulation
OF rail lines as requested by the Execu-
t1ves' Association, or application of
similar regulation to competing trans
portation mediums must come. 1t is
folly to argue that the trucks should
be ruled from the highways, or that
Uncle Sam should cease development
OF waterway; but unless We are to
abandon our railroads to bankruptcy,
competing forms of transportation murI
be subject to similar control"
