NEW YORK.-Not only does the
Democratic Party administration Of
New York City refuse to take care
Of the 100000 needy families it al
nlits need relief. but, according to a
statement yesterday by the big Dem
ocratic boss, Alfred E. Smith, it may
cut off relief completely. It will use
as an excuse for this that the bank
ers will not lend more money. It
uses this excuse already in its at
tempt to cut wages of city workers
through a special session of the IegiS-
lature to change the civil service
rates. But it does not once propose
to take the money it has. $200.00O,00O
earmarked for payment to the bank
ers, and use that for relief and city
wages.
The situation daily becomes more
desperate for the unemployed. Win
ter is here, and tens of thousands Of

relief Thousands of families are
going without heat. Tens of thou

women, have no shelter.

Press Lies Again As Usual
The capitalist press is broadcasting
that the Hunger Marchers to Wash
ington at the Bronx rally collected
thousands Of dollars, which naturally
they are trying to call racket. The
fact is that at the Bronx Coliseum
the collection amounted to $500. The
New York Times, which saw" a col
lection Of $1,000, and the Tribune of
$4,000 are deliberately lying in order
to discredit the Hunger March to
Washington.
Funds and food are needed very
badly. The decision Of the District
of Columbia Commissioners not to
allow the Hunger Marchers into
Washington vii be broken down only
by mass pressure of the workers all
over the country. All Unions, Clubs,
mass organizations, shops, should i'm
mediately send kilograms of protest
to the District Commissioners Of
Washington and to Speaker Garner
and Vice-P President Curtis, demand
ing that the Hunger Marchers be adj
mitted to Washington to present the
demands of the unemployed. The
best backing up of the demands of
the Hunger Nfarchers will be the in
tensified struggles in every city for
immediate relief
December g. in every city Of the
country, will be a day of widespread
demonstrations and struggles for the
immediate relief of the workers and
the building of block committees, I'M
employed councils, etc.
In the meantime. rush all funds
