DISAPPOINTMENT IN
BOSSES CAMP
There iSSgreat disappointment in
the capitalist camp and in the stool
pigeon rendezvous frequented by the
hangers-on of the capitalist par
ties and their press. We must also
record the disappointment of Sen
ator Metcalfe of Rhode Island, ben
eficiary of the strikebreaking Man
ville-Jencks textile corporation who
sent one of his secretaries to en-
list in the Hunger March as a sea-
man, to leave the March in Balti-
more and report on foreign born
workers to Secretary of Labor Doak
and other high-salaried stool pig
cons.
The 1000 capital police, the hun
dreds of city firemen, the semi-of-
ficial organizations of businessmen
and underworld elements, the 1000
troops held under arms in Fort
Myer, the unprecedented rallying of
department of justice agents and
other armed forces against the
Hunger Narchers, we're pictured as
self-sacrificing heroes ready to lay
down their lives in smashing
threat of civil war.

ANOTHER ANGLE
The Hunger March was violent
but was defeated and demoralized
as it neared Washington. This was
another angle of approach by the
enemy press. "Ouit Wilmington
Under Guard After a Night of
Rioting," said Hearst's New York
Journal.
WILMINGTON, Del, Dec. S.
Escorted by grim police, the Red
Hunger Army began the retreat
from Wilmington today after
night of rioting, tear gas barrages
and bloodshed.'
The police, of course, were innocent
of any brutality. They had
merely driven marchers into a va
cant building and then thrown
tear gas bombs among them.
