the streets leading to it were choked
with solid masses of people.
A line of uniformed police along
the curb, a cop every few feet, denser
and denser until they were shoulder
to shoulder near the capitol building
held the crowd back from fraterniz-
ing with the marchers.
But as the long column OF National
Hunger Marchers swept by, singing
Solidarity" singing "The Interna-
tional," and shouting the slogans of
the march, for relief and insurance,
at many places the watching crowds
broke into applause and at some place
the crowds sang with the marchers.
Delegations Go In
At two blocks distance from the
Capitol building the march was halt
ed, and the marchers rested while two
delegation of 25 each, one led by
Chairman Reynolds of the National
Committee Of the Unemployed Coun-
ellis, the other led by Secretary Ben
jamin Of the National Committee by
Ann Burlak, went up Capitol hill.
The delegation led by Reynolds was
halted by police at the steps into
the Senate wing of, the capitol. The
whole building was garrisoned by po-
lice from the city, in addition to the
force of Capitol patrolmen.
Curtis had promised Attorney Lew
isohn of Philadelphia that he would
see the whole committee of IS. He
sent word out at this point, however,
that he would see only ten. After an
argument with the police, ten went
in, led by Reynolds.
Curtis met them outside the door
to his office, and Reynolds immedi-
ately taxed him with breaking his
word about seeing the whole delega-
toni Curtis lied, and denied making
any promises.
Search Negro
He drew Reynolds few feet aside,
Reynolds meanwhile protesting, and
the police came up and searched a
Negro member of the delegation,
They found no arms.
Reynolds was refused the right to
read the statement of the National
Conference of the Unemployed, con-
tanning the demands, and had to pass
1t unread to Curtis. Curtis promised
to lay it before the U. s. Senate.
Before this, however, Reynolds told
Curtis that the workers and UNI
employed workers rely not on what
Curtis would do. but on their grow
ing organization and struggle to get
relief.
Curtis claimed this was insulting

egation thrown out of the building"
He did not, though, and the delega-
ton went back to the waiting march,

The delegation to Garner was met
by the Vice-President elect and

in his hands. He promised to "see

Garner clearly indicate that these Of

Start Drive to Win
Free Food for Kids

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. 6.--The
local Unemployed Council has begun
the organization of a movement OF
parents and school children to force
the city authorities to establish a
system of providing breakfasts and
hot lunches to all children of unem-
ployed and part-time workers. AL
ready organization along these lines
has been started in two schools.
The council has issued a statement
in which it declares that this action
has been made necessary in part by
the decision of the Community Chest
not to provide food to children until
they became proper charges" as a
result of malnutrition.

SEATTLE J0BLESS
WIN MAIN DEMAND
Force Relief From the
County Commissioners

SEATTLE, Wash. Dec. 6.-The
King County Hunger March on Mon
day won its main demand that every
unemployed worker receive the
amount of relief specified in the
county schedule Of October, 1882 for
food distribution, without discrimin-
alton of any kind. Up to now unem-
ployed workers have only received
about so per cent of this relief. Mil

in the march, with banners and
groups from the Unemployed Coun-
ellis, locals Of Unemployed Citizens
League, several locals of the ALL.
including the machinists, steamfitters
and plumbers, United Producers
League, and the Communist Party in
a real united front.
The County Commissioners chose
the hour of the arrival of the Hun
ger Marchers to go out for lunch,
leaving word they would not return
before two hours. The purpose of
this move was to discourage the work
ers who had trudged for miles in the
cold and wet. The entire demonstra-
ton invaded the building, overflow
ing the assembly room and the COR
ridors and stairways in their deter
mination to await the return of the
commissioners and force them to lis
ten to their demands
Most Militant Demonstration
The demonstration was the most
militant Seattle has ever seen. The
Red Flag was hoisted in the assembly
room during the hearing. After win
ming their main demand, the workers
sang the "Internationale" and SOL
idarity." Before leaving the assembly
room they drew up kilograms to Hoo
yer and the mayor of Minneapolis
protesting against the attacks on the
National Hunger March. They also
voted unanimously for the organiza :
ton of a State Hunger March in jan
uary.
Other demands on the County
Commissioners for which the workers
are determined to continue to fight
include, union wages with minimum
Of $3.50 day for common labor; no
evictions, no water or light shut offs /:
free hot lunches, including milk and
free transportation for school chill
dren.

to join the contingents from all over

The bonus marcherS were recruited
and the trucks secured as the re-
suit of a campaign by the Rank and
File Committee for the Second Bonus
March, which included members of
the Khaki Shirts in united front
movement. Efforts are being made
to send additional truckloads to
Washington. Preceding the send-off
Of the trucks, a big parade was held
yesterday afternoon and a demon
stration in Military Park.
AT a meeting of veterans in Cen
trail High School here last night.
General Pelham D. Glassford, who
led the armed attack on the first
bonus march, spoke. Not daring in
the face of the veterans present
openly to oppose the bonus march,
Glassford lodged this question en-
tirely and instead spilled oily phrases
about the need for organization.
Though he personally led the attack
of Bloody Thursday, Glassford had
the nerve to shift complete respon-
sibility on the federal government,
neglecting to mention that he
worked hand in hand with the gov
eminent. Glassford was heckled
throughout his speech and after he
had finished. a number of workers
arose and proposed that the meet
ing endorse the second bonus march
and send protest resolutions to Presi-
dent Hoover and Congress against the
internment of the marchers. These
proposals were adopted unanimously.

To All Workers & Organizations!

Dear C0mradeS.
SUNDAY, JAN. 8, 1888, MARKS THE
NINTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAILY
WORKER. These were nine years of
hard struggle in the life of our paper.
During these years, the Daily Worker has
made itself indispensable in the various
struggles of the American working class.
As the central organ of the Commu-
mist Party, II has rallied the workers for
the support and defense of the Soviet
Union.
1t has constantly carried on the fight
to mobilize the workers in the struggle for
better living conditions, against wage cuts,
for unemployment insurance and for the
support of the Hunger March.
II fights against the oppression Of the
foreign born workers, against deporta-
tons, for equal rights of the Negro mas
SEES, and for the freedom Of all class war
prisoners--Tom Mooney and the Nine
Scottsboro Boys, etc.
This celebration is a great event for
all workers. We ask you to express your
solidarity and support the Daily Worker
by sending Greetings TO the only Revo-
lutionary Daily in the English language.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-12-07

Foreign military experts in Man
churia agree that had the tunnel
been destroyed, "the Japanese would
have encountered almost insuperable
obstacles to an advance on Manchuli
this winter, as the range is almost
insurmountable and ordinarily is
held in the grip of temperatures of
80 to 40 degrees below zero"
The sudden collapse of Gen. Su's
campaign recalls the activities last
winter of the notorious Gen. Ma
Chen-shan who, pretending re-
sistance to the Japanese, acted as
their agent to afford them the pre-
text for an advance on the Soviet
frontiers. Japanese troops are re-
ported advancing from Hailar to
ManchuIi. a North ManchuriaD
town directly across the border
from the Soviet Union.
Gen. Su has crossed the Soviet
border by train. His forces are re-
ported fleeing over the border In
line with its firm peace policy, the
Soviet government is rounding up
and interning Gen. Su's army as it
enters Soviet territory.
The League of Nations which has
deliberately postponed discussion on
Manchuria in order to allow the
Japanese time to further consolidate
their military position, yesterday
suggested that it was now ready to
put the Manchurian question on the
agenda, at the special assembly OF
the League this Wednesday.
