NEW YORK.-Two new groups OF
New York bonus marchers are ex-
pected to leave for Washington this
evening or early tomorrow morning.
Lack of funds to rent trucks has been
responsible for holding up about $50

concentrating all efforts on collecting
the necessary funds and they have
been divided into two groups, which
have entered into friendly socialist
competition in the fund collecting

Go to Estimate Board
Yesterday a committee of three
rank and file veterans appeared be-
fore the Board OF Estimate to de-
mand free trucks for disabled vets
who are bonus certificate holders and
are going to Washington. Though a
letter had been sent to the Board of
Estimate with the Advertisements
demands, the committee found that
the Board had not taken the trouble
to read the letter and the vets were
not even on the calendar. When a
letter by Lawson Purdy, chairman of
the Emergency Work and Relief Ad-
nlinistration, in which he said that
100000 that the city had received
from the state would be exhausted by

Harper pointed out that while a
special session of the legislature was
being called Dec. to cut the wages
of city workers, the demand of the
veterans that the fat salaries of the
city officials be reduced to $500 had
been ignored. He demanded that in

CONCENTRATING
IN THREE CITIES
All Delegates One Day
from Washington

All nine columns of the National
Hunger March concentrate tonight
at three points, ready to enter Wash
ington tomorrow from the north,
south, and west. Nearly 1000 march
erS of Column 7, which started from
Buffalo Nov. 26, and of Column 8
which started from Boston Nov. 81,
will merge into single column to-
night in Baltimore.
These marcherS are from the great
cities of the northwest and represent
unemployed textile workers of New
England, needle trades workers, metal
workers and all the varied trades of
New York City, electrical workers and
boot and shoe workers from upstate,
and Anthracite miners from Pennsyl-
vania and silk, wool and doll workers,
chemical workers, and the war in
dustries Of New Jersey and Delaware.
The largest contingents of marine
workers are in Column s. There are
10 from New York City alone.
Demands Of FIpinos
Among the unemployed seamen's
delegates are ten Filipinos, who will
go, while in Washington to present
special demands on the Philippine
Commissioners. They will insist that
Filipino Seamen in American ports
get free transportation home as pas
sengers, and that Filipino sealnen on
the ships get the same pay as other
seamen.
The marine workers delegation it
self includes those who went month
ago to President Hoover with de-
mands for relief to 10000 unemployed
seamen. The presidents secretary
told them they would get an answer
soon. They want it now and they
are back in considerable force to get
it.
Massing in Cumberland
In Cumberland, Maryland, tonight
there will be another thousand del
egates, approximately, representing
the millions of jobless all the way to
the Pacific Coast. They will consist
of men and women, some of whom
have surmounted all obstacles of ma
ture and all the ingenuity of hostile
mayors and police power in a trip
5000 miles long.

Worker Insane

TAMPA COUNTY JAIL, Fla, Dec.
2.-The second of the Tampa class
war prisoners has gone out of his
mind as a result Of the fiendish tor
ture system Of this jail. He is Carlos
Lezama, sentenced to ten years for
participation in the strike of the
Tobacco Workers Industrial Union
last year.
Cesario Alvarez, sentenced to three
years on the same charge, went in
sane last summer. He is now in the
State Hospital for the Insane as a
result Of weeks of torture in the
sweat-box only after insistent pro-
test of the workers was he removed
from the Sweat-box and sent to the
insane asylum, where the treatment
for working class prisoners is scarcely
peter than in the Jail.
The Tampa authorities, agents of
the tobacco manufacturers are de-
termined to murder every one of the
Tampa prisoners. Those left in this
Jail, besides Lezama, are Jim Nine,
Carlos Lopez, Henry Bopcilla and j.
E. Mcdonald, all except Lopez serv-
ing terms OF 10 years They are
tortured and sweated and depend en-
tirely on workers from the outside to
give them decent food.
Ismael Cruz and Angel Cabrera,
sentenced to the chain gang at In
diantown Road camp, have been
transferred to Raiford State Prison
since they participated in a one-day
strike OF the workers of the road
camp, protesting against the torture
of prisoners in the sweat box.
These two have now been put into
the "flat-top" a fiendish torture in
st'rument which is worse than a
sweat box. This is a small room in
side the Jail, just big enough for one
man to be pushed into, with pow
erful, hot light burninong over his
head All the prisoners who took
part in the strike were put into the
sweat box for five days, out in the
sun, at Indiantown Road camp.
The International Labor Defense
urges all workers to protest against
the fiendish terror Of the prisoners
in Tampa County Jail, and in Raj
ford State Prison. Wires and resolu-
lions of protest should be sent i'm

prisoners and to Governor Doyle E.

Schleicher Heads
German Cabinet
NewMove Toward Fas-
cist Military Regime

BERLIN, Dec. president Won
Hindenburg today appointed Lieut..
Gen. Kurt Won Schleicher chancellor
to form a new presidential cabinet
that is to say cabinet responsible
only to Hnidenburg and not to the
Reichstag. Schleicher retains his old
post as minister of defense that he
held in the Won Papen government
and is also commissioner of Prussia.
Thus Schleicher is in direct control
OF the Reichswehr Irregular army
and the Prussian Police, besides be-
ing head of the government of Ger
many as chancellor.
This represents further step of
the capitalist class toward an open
fascist military dictatorship. The ap-
pointment of Schleicher indicates no
relief from the vicious policy pursued
by Won Papen, but means an attempt
to obtain the aims that were pursued
by the Won Papen government with
other and more effective means.
Schleicher is attempting to secure
the direct support Of all bourgeois
parties with mass following and is
trying to cloak the Won Papen policy
with social parliamentary" gestures,
simultaneously withdrawing number
of minor provisions Of the emergency
DEGREES. Thus he combines diplo-
matte maneuvering with the policy
of the iron military fist against the
masses.
He also seeks to secure the aid of
the Christian and reformist unions to
carry through further wage cuts and
inroads on social services, without the
friction engendered by Won Papen.
Schleicher is prepared to make full

STUBBORN POSITION FORECAST
The stubborn British position on
the war debts was already forecast on
Nov. "a, in the following declaration
in the House of Commons by L. S.
Amery, former Colonial and Domi-
mons Secretary:
eve also give notice of the ter
mination of our commercial treaty,
so that at the end of twelve months
we will be free to impose a special
tariff on United States goods, to be
paid in gold or dollars"
The British and French notes and
the reaction they have raised in US.
government circles clearly show the
war-like nature of the imperialist
rivalries in the sharpening struggle
over the war debts. In addition, the
notes reveal the spreading bankrupt
cy and decline of world capitalism
The British note admits:
"A profound disorder in the course
of international trade" throughout
the capitalist world "this disorder
has eliminated in crisis of unpa-
ralleled severity. 1t has resulted in
a general collapse of trade through
out the world, with widespread I'M
employment and a disastrous fall in
all national incomes, including those
of the United States of America and
Of the United Kingdom.

paralysis of trade and the threat of

by the equivalent of 100000 for
every hour, night and day that it
passes, and the situation has since
deteriorated even further"

their attitude towards all who suffer
from unemployment.
1t is just such experience as these
that have served to steel the deter
mination of those who have been
elected and those who are participant
ing as delegates in the National Hun
ger March. The conviction that only
mass pressure can force Congress to
give consideration to the needs of
the unemployed accounts for the fact
that the delegates in the National
Hunger March have not been dis
couraged by the many obstacles that
have been put in their way, nor
weakened by the many hardships.
The proof of this is to be seen in
the fact that the march proceeds and

WASHINGTON. D. G.. Dee

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec.
2. Police Superintendent
Brown has stated publicly that
inasmuch as the National Hun-
ger Marchers have arranged
for food and lodging in Wash
ington, they will be permitted
to enter in marching columns.
This is a reversal of the previous at
which showed itself in threats TO
break up the march into small groups,
and still earlier was seen in the Dis
trict of Columbia Commissioners
kilograms to governors and mayors
TO discourage the marchers. Police
forces, however, are canvaSsing the
entire city to intimidate sympathizers
and to prevent the securing of meet
ing places and lodging.
The onward sweep of the March,
the demonstrations in every city by
tens of thousands Of workers in sup
port of its demands, has forced this
statement from the police, as it has
cracked through all police opposition
on the way so far.
But at the same time, Vice Presi-
dent Curtis and Speaker Garner still
refuse to grant permits for the
marcherS to proceed to congress to
lay before it their demands for $50
federal winter relief and for federal
unemployment insurance.
Delegates Must See Congress.
Still more mass demonstrations,
hundreds Of resolutions adopted at
mass meetings and meetings of work
ers organizations, must be wired to-
DAY TO Curtis and Garner and to tn
congressman Of the district where
the meetings are held. These tels-
grams should point out that the Ma
tionai Hunger MarcherS are every one
of them the elected delegates of
thousands of workers, bearing their
particular demands to congress. and
each delegate must have the right to
go with all the other delegates in one
body to congress to present these
demands.

And that is not all. The 5000
marchers are at the gateways of the
