No one goes individually. The vast
majority of the marchers are non
Communist, but most of them be-
come sympathetic in the course OF
the march. The vast majority are
members of no Party"
Voting is one means OF organiz-
ing masses for unemployment insur-
ance and marching is another. We
do not prefer one over the other. We
prefer the use of both. The election
activity supplements and strengthens
the mass actions, and the mass ac-
tons strengthen the election work
We make no separation between
them.
1.-THE marchers will be in Wash
ington on Dec. 5--the day Congress
convenes. A petition asking for un-
employment insurance will be for
INFLATED at conference on that day
and an attempt will be made to pre-
sent it to Congress on the next.

in a speech Sept. Is The National
Committee of the Unemployed Coun-
ellis, at its enlarged meeting in Chi
cago, Oct. 10, adopted plans and
voted to conduct the march. This
move was proposed TO the National
Committee by local unemployed
councils.
I'VE expect that $500 to 5000 will
reach Washington" said Browder,
still in answer to the questions OF
the reporter. These, in turn, rep
resent at least 10000 organized in
unemployed councils. Indirect rep
resentation, of course, is much
broader. Ten times as many people
are active who are not members. The
movement arises out of tn activity Of
a minimum of 100000 workers. For
example, the Chicago msrchers we're
confirmed in mass demonstration
of $4,000 who paraded the streets in
the rain.

Rash Funds to
Defeat Hunger
Government
Fellow workers.:

Fellow workers:
Over two thousand five hundred
marchers are now forging their
way to Washington, despite all the
difficulties, terror and obstacles.
Some of these delegates are on the
road more than three weeks. Sleep
less nights. continuous riding, cold
and insufficient food is the lot of
our delegates, sent to represent us.
Despite all these obstacles, they
are approaching the U. S. Capital
determined to press and fight for
the demands of The starving masses
of the United States.
They do not fear the difficulties.
They do not fear the terror. These
heroic marchers are ready to sac
rifice their lives for our common
cause.-the struggle against starva-
ton.
In addition to the hardships OF
the road, our delegates will be faced
with additional obstacles placed in
their way by the Federal Govern
ment. The Federal Government,
while carrying through their pro-
gram of hunger, fears the voice of
the starving masses. At first they
tried to discourage" the march.
They took steps to break up the
march by force in the various cities.
THEY FAILED. because the mass
es of workers in the cities, towns
and hamlets, rose in support of
the march and endorsed the de-
mands and elected their represen-
tatives to join the March.
Our enemies are also trying to
put every obstacle and difficulty
in the way of securing lodging and
feeding accommodations in Wash
ingtOn. This new attack on the
hunger marchers must and will be
met by the masses of workers.
This new attack viii not be allowed
to defeat their right to present to
the Congress of the rich the de-
mands of the starving millions.

Committee for the Hunger March
in Washington hereby informs the
masses of workers in the United
States that the situation in Wash
ington is very critical and while

The nine columns of the National

several promises, now agrees to pro-
