NEW YORK. - Led by a
worker carrying a red flag pre-
sentd to the workers Of New
York by the workers of Ham
burg, Germany, more than
10000 workingnen, women
and children marched Saturday
to City Hall in the most mill
tant united front demonstra-
ton for immediate relief ever
held in this city The relief march
was under the auspices of the IN
employed Council ana was supported
by more than 800 working-class or
CARNATIONS.
The march was marked by an ex-
time nlilitancy, There was COM
psrstively little singing, but there
was a. continuous roar for unenploy-
nent insurance and immediate cash
relief that echoed back from the sky
scrapers on Broadway and reverber-
ated up and down the subway under
meath the line Of march.
The stern booming of q, single bass
drum supplied the only music in the
parade. 1t was a kind of music
that harmonized perfectly with the
roars of the marcllers for immediate
relief from the unbearable starvation
they are suffering in the richest city
in the capitalist world.

half million workers saw it, thou
sands of whom broke through the
police lines to take their place in the
march.

that denarcated each section Of the
parade indicated that a large proper
