800 IN HUNGER
MARCH PRESENT
DEMANDS IN [. I.

MINEOLA, L. I. - A small edition
of the great National Hunger March
to Washington was seen here today,
when three hundred unemployed
workers, coming together as a repre-
sentative delegation from six towns
in Nassau County presented the de-
mands of thousands of jobless and
part time workers to the county board
OF supervisors. In spite of the freez-
ing weather the demonstration
showed clearly that the tens Of thou
sands of unemployed workers of Mas
sau County do not propose to starve
to death quietly while thousands of
parasites are living in luxury that was
wrung from their blood.
When the spokesman entered the
chamber of the board of supervisors,
he was informed that he would be
permitted to speak for only five min
utes, as the board had important
business to take up. Here the poll
ticians, the representative Of the
people" showed their true colors as
demagogues. The hunger of scores
of thousands of workers, the Starva-
ton of tens of thousands of babies,
was, of course, not important bust
ness.
Even while the spokesman was try
ing to do the impossible, that is,
bring forward the hunger and explain
the fifteen demands of workers, dy-
ing of starvation, in five minutes, he
was interrupted constantly and I'M
necessarily. He had Just begun to
present the demand that the relief,
of which a cut off has been threaten
ed, be continued and increased, when
he was brusquely tod that his time
was up. The appeal of the starving

DARCY FINISHES
TESTIMONY AFTER
8 DAYS ON STAND
Refutes Governors
Attack on Demands
of Hunger March
Telegram to Daily Worker)

LOS ANGELES, Calf, March 15.-
Sam Darcy, the first defense witness
in the trial Of the IS in Long Beach,
completed his ninth and last day on
the witness stand today when in a
speech lasting a half hour he an
swered Governor Rolph's letter re-
jecting the unemployment relief de-
mands made by the Hunger Marchers
in San Francisco on Jan. II.
Rolph's letter, Darcy told the court,
said that the $4,000 workers of Call
forrlia who had elected the Hunger
Marchers would have to work in
order to get support"
Hundreds Of thousands of Cali
fornia are unemployed and suffering
hunger, Darcy pointed out, and yet
Rolph's letter said 10 would be i'm
possible to grant relief since special
session Of the legislature is required,
and the calling Of it would be a
disaster"
Darcy pointed out to the court that
large portion OF the funds collected
by the Community Chest with the
pretense of helping the unemployed
we're diverted to the use of such or
CARNATIONS like the YMCA. The
legislature had in the past set aside
its regular work and in one session
passed the anti-labor Criminal Syn
dicaliSm law, Darcy declared 1t
would be disaster" to convene the
legislature If it we're a working class
legislature, he said. The prosecuting
attorney made feeble attempt to
answer but was effectively silenced by
facts and figures,
Before he left the stand Darcy was
asked by the prosecutor whether he
would support the Red Flag or the
Stars and Stripes in case of conflict
between the Soviet Union and the
| United States. Darcy answered that
he would do all he could to get the
American workers to put stop to an
attack on the Soviet Union, the
Workers and Farmers government.
Following Darcy, Sam Wilenski,
another of the defendants, took the
stand and told of the police brutality
following the arrests. He told of
being deprived Of his right TO an at
torney, and when he refused to
answer questions without the pres
ence Of an attorney he was made to
stand in corner for hours and
kicked. In the courtroom Wilenski
exhibited the scars on his shine. He
testified that Evans, member of the
Red Squad" threatened to smash his
head If he continued to refuse to
talk.

CAMEO INTRODUCES NEW RUS
SIAN FILM FRIDAY

The Cameo Theatre brings another
new Russian picture this Friday, pre-
senting "CoSsacks OF the DON" di-
rected by Soviet's only woman prod
ucer, Olga Preobazhenskaya. She is
best known for her remarkable work
in THE Village Of Sin," which was
highly praised.
Unlike Road to Life" which
preached U.S.S.R.'s message, Cos
sacks Of the Don" is a romance, CIV
ing an insight on the every day in
innate existence of the colorful cos
sacks.
A tempestuous Cossack woman,
played by Emma Cessarskaya, who
was the heroine of THE Village of
Sin," is the center of the story. It
is an adaptation from the we'll known
Soviet novel 1.-The Quiet River Don"

MASS MEET TO
FIGHT STRIKE
INJUNCTION
Consumers Wont Buy
from Bakeries Who
Refuse Lower Price

NEW YORK.-The injunction is
sued by the bosses court against the
Brighton Beach consumers who were
striking against the high price of
bread is one of the most drastic in
the history of the New York labor
movement. Mussolini could have
passed no more dictatorial law BAN
ming the right of the workers to
struggle for bread.
The Injunction not only prohibits
picketing, but prohibits the Women's
Council and the Rank and File Strike
Committee, or anyone in any way
connected with the consumers fight,
from causing crowds to collect (hold
meetingS) from exhibiting any
signs or placards and distribute any
notices in front of or in the vicinity
Of the aforementioned bakeries, and
from advertising in the public press
or in any other manner suggesting to
any person or persons the boycotting
Of teh said bakeries" 1t prohibits
practically everything except the
workers right to think about the
bread strike.
II the bakery bosses and the courts
believe that the strike is crushed by
this irOn-handed move, they are
mistaken. Already the International
Labor Defense has called a mass
meeting, which will be held tonight
at 8 pm. at Ocean Parkway Hall,
1904 Ocean Parkway, to initiate a
campaign against the injunction.
Sadie Van Veen will speak at the
meeting. A wide conference, taking
in unions, workers organizations and
sympathetic organizations, has been
called for date in the near future.
The entire labor movement in New
York will join in a mass campaign
against this and all injunctions.
The bakeries for whom the courts
issued the injunctions are Jacob
Tannebaum, Fourth and Brighton
Beach Ave; Sea Lane, 615; Will Gold,
700; Ocean View Bakery, 253; David
Sherman, 403; Atlas, S14; David
Lerman, 1915; all on Brighton Beach
Ave, and De Lite Bakery at Ocean
Parkway and Ripple st.
All these bakers are the ones who
are responsible for the injunction is
sued against the consumers. IRE
CARELESS of how much the consumers
income has been cut, how many are
unemployed, how many cannot afford
to buy bread at the present high
price, the court supported the baker
les in their profiteering desires.
At mass meeting held by the
consumers prior to the issuance of
the injunction the consumers decided
that no one should buy in the baker
les just mentioned until the prices
are lowered, even IL the pickets are
removed. The meeting also decided
ON the policy Of all consumers of
Brighton Beach soIidly sticking to-
gether and during the strike to buy
bread In grocery stores who do not
sell bread coming from the bakeries
mentioned.

Pull Down Flag
of kuOmintang at
Student Meeting
Anti Imperialist Stu
dents Capture
Meeting

NEW YORK, March IS. - The
treacherous role Of Kuomintang in
deceiving the Chinese Students here
was fully exposed at the Chinese
student meeting held at the Inter
national House. Columbia University,
last Sunday, called by the Chinese
Student League of Greater New York,
in memory of the dead of the 10th
Route Army in the recent battle at
Shanghai against the japanese in
vaders. Many Quomintang students
were present.
Several members 70 AlI-America
Chinese Anti Imperialst Alliance, af-
fiiated to the Anti-Imperialist League
Of the United States, distributed the
leaflets at the meeting. Immediately
after the opening Of the meeting
Comrade Hsu, Secretary Of the said
Alliance, made a motion to take off
the Kuomintang flag near the speak
er's stand, which, he pointed out, is
the emblem of the butcher Of the
Chinese masses.
Comrade Chen seconded the mo-
ton and declared thta Kuomintang
Is the real murderer Of the revolu-
tionary masses in Shanghai, and res
ponSible for the disastrous retreat of
the 18th Route Army by It's capitula-
ton to the Japanese and other i'm
perialist and its betrayal of the fight
ing soldiers and workers. The Kuo-
mintang lackeys, faced by this cour-
ageous challenge, demanded to ex-
pelI the comrades, but failed.
While Hsu and Chen were engaged
in hot arguments with the Kuonlin-
tang students, Comrade Yu stepped
up to the platform, pulled down the
Kuomintang flag and shouted. Down
with Kuomintang," Down with Jap
anese and world imperialism" Con-
sequently Is KuSfnintang students,
including the chairman, fled away
from the meeting.
The remaining students continued
the meeting under the leadership of
the several comrades present. A new
chairman was elected. All stood up
and remained silent for three min
utes as tribute to those revolution
airy soldiers and workers who sacri-
feed theri lives in the struggle a.
gainst the Japanese imperialism.
This was followed by brief speeches
of Comrade Hsu and Yu, emphasizing
again the treachery of Kuomintang
as the tool Of imperialism and point
ing out that the workers and pea
SAINTS revolution under the leadership
Of the Communist Party of China, is
the only way to nberate China from
the imperialist chains. A frank dis
cussion then took place, the meeting
was adjourned in good order and
many students expressed their opin-
ion that they were greatly enlighten-
ed by the speeches of Hsu and Yu,
