In Vincennes, Ind, we were met by

the city's first refusal.
In Parkersburg, Va, we were forced
to pay toll. The whole state militia

TOLEDO DELEGATE
HAS VISITORS
Worker Tells of Quiz
zing by Officials

TOLEDO, Ohio.--I was elected to
90 as a delegate to the National
Hunger March from Toledo in a
truck with fourteen others. At Union
town our truck broke down. The
truck could not be fixed but my
mind was set on reaching Washing
ton so L hitch linked to Grandsville.
I stayed there the rest of the night,
sleeping in the jail
That night, three city cops, two
state coppers, two deputy sheriffs,
two eounciirien, the county mayor
and one federal agent, came to ques-
ton me. The federal man asked me
II / was a citizen. I said no and
that If he deported me would carry
on the fight in my own country. He
said T was a Bolshevik, anarchist,
and what not I saidpI had been out
of work 20 months, if that was what
he meant. He got sore and left me
with his bunch, e. V.
Toledo Delegate.
Ed. Note.--This comrade was mill
tant in his answers to the dicks, but
should remember as all workers must
not to answer questions in jail. Every
worker should read "Self-Defense for
Workers" We do not want to lose
any more fighters than we have to
as the fight sharpens. BY studying
this, workers will learn how to de-
feat the frame-up system.

Wash. Police Also
Terrorized Local
March Supporters

WASHINGTON, D. C.--When the
marchers were kept from going fur
ther into the city and we're forcibly
delayed at Fourth ST. and New York
Ave, I was among those watching.
In order to see better I climbed
upon a tar wagon, whereupon a po-
liceraan ordered me to get off. I
did. Then he took me to his superior
officer and deliberately lied, saying
that ! had been inside OF the tar
wagon. He then grabbed me by my
luniberjacket and attempted to make
me go home. Meanwhile, he was
threatening to beat the hell out Of
me.
I refused TO go home and climbed
up a hill on the other side of the
street. Another cop, who saw the
other try 10 throw me out, told me
to get the hell away from here"
When again refused he went to the
officer in charge. Then orders we're
issued that everyone without a Press
permit, issued by the District Police
authorities, must get off the grounds.
Then I started moving. But cop,
who wanted to get "the little Jew-son
of a bitch" for not going immedi-
ately, came UP behind me and told
me that wasn't moving fast enough
for him. So he hit me with his
stick. And it hurt.
The reporters for the capitalist
newspapers saw this. I know that,
because a reporter for the Chicago
Tribune, the son Of the Assistant
Treasurer Of the United States, told
me he saw the cops try to run me
away. But they didn't say anything
about the cops hitting anyone who
wanted TO greet the Hunger March,

A Congressman Meets
An "Old Friend" and

WASHINGTON, d. C.--Here are a
few incidents around the Hunger
March.
When some of the marchers were
brought to the homes of sympathizers
the cops made as much noise as pos
sible in order to try and arouse the
neighbors.
Representative La Guardia when
he visited the marchers recognized
the brother Of an old acquaintance
as one of them. He asked him why
he was messing in this crowd" The
comrade answered him: I'm sorry
I've messed with them for only three
years. I'm sorry wasted SO much
time in other organizations" When
La Guardia left he extended his hand
which the comrade refused to take.
A comrade saw some detectives
laughing and moved closer to listen
One was asking the other, do you
know whom I saw In that bunch? It
was Bill. He actually told me he felt
like life was new and tried TO convince

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 13.-Gov-

today for generous gesture he will

But as far as the Mooney case is
concerned the Governor considers

its various agencies have put gov
ernment treasury resources at the
disposal of the railways for payment
Of their fixed charges" is shown by
the Thiehoff report which lists a
total of $324,000,0 900 received from
this source up to Nov. /. Practic-
ally every cent Of this huge sum has
gone straight into the Golfers of the
bondholding concerns.
Not cent of it has been used to
increase employment in accord with
the promise made last February,
when the 10 per cent reduction went
into effect, to put more men to work
On the contrary the latest figures
show that the railway companies, be-
tween February and August, drop
ped 1ll,000 men from their payrolls.
Thiehoff Delivers Ultimatum
Thiehoff concluded by delivering
the following carefully worded but
clear ultimatum to the rail workers
1--WE have simply directed your
attention to the fact that the con-
ditions in the railway industry are
such that if a 10 per cent reduc-
ton was in any wise justified
year ago, there can be no question
that a greater reduction Is justi-
fed and necessary today What
we are proposing is that this dead
line date of Jan. 1, 1888 (the date
Of expiration Of the present wage
reduction agreement be wiped out
by mutual. agreement between us
and that, when any further change
Is made, it shall be made accord
ing to the orderly processes Of law,
after calm declaration, instead of
having action forced on one side
or the other, by virtue Of a fixed
expiration date"
In behalf Of the railways and
their Wall Street owners Thiehoff
has presented the railway workers
with the alternative Of accepting the
railway proposal for further confer
ences on additional wage cuts lead
ing TO arbitration and wage reduc-
lions under the Parker law,
or Of fighting. He has in effect dared
the union officials to call on the
membership for strike action. Thi-

Fear of Rank and File Re,

Fear of Rank and File Revolt
Behind the wordy defense Of the
position Of the railways and tinan-
cial concerns, and the polite CONVEX
sation between railway and labor un-
ion chiefs between whose appearance
no difference can be discerned, there
lies the fear of a rank and file re-
volt against further wage slashes
which would have the power TO pre-
eipitate a nationwide clash between
workers and employers which might
bring down the. whole totterine
structure Of pyrsulided watered
stocks, bonds, notes and mortgages
for which the rail workers are be-
ing harassed and driven to new low
living levels.
This is the development that both
railway company representatives and
rail union officials fear in Like meas
ure. To put over the wage cut with
out arousing mass resistance from
the rail workers-this Is the problem
the union bureaucrats and company
of1icials are jointly trying to solve.

hard struggle in the life of our paper.

the support and defense Of the Soviet
Union.
II has constantly carried on the fight
10 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
rsreign- born workers, against depcrts-
lions, for equal rights Of the Negro mas
ses, and for the freedom OF all class war
prisoners--Tom Mooney anS The Nine
Scottsboro Boys, etc.
This celebration Is . great event fa

otained by jobless workers and pre-
Sented to the agency, after which
nothing is heard of them. When the
unemployed repeatedly protest, they
are usually told the orders have been
lost.
An open hearing last week brought
a big crowd, which heard in detail
the story Of many unemployed work
ers about hunger conditions and

out that the relief for Negroes is in
the hands of certain Mrs. Jones
who has been chased out of several
homes by her insulting probe into
private affairs. When the Negro
family shows its starving condition,
and tells how long the bread winner
has been out of work, Mrs. Jones
regular tactic is to demand: where
is your marriage certificate2" "Are
you living a moral 1ife?", etc.
The crowd at the open hearing
found the mayor and local officials
guilty OF starving the unemployed
! workers here.
