and unemployment and social in
surance at the expense of the en-
ployers and the government. This
was not an election slogan. This is
a basic demand of the working
class today. The elections are over,
the struggle goes on, and under the
leadership of the Communist Par
ty, the Unemployed Councils and
the revolutionary unions, the fight
will be intensified.
THE NATIONAL
HUNGER MARCH
The National Hunger March to
Washington, embracing 5000 rep
resentatives of the Is million I'M
employed and like number of
part-tirne workers in this country
in the shops, factories, offices and
stores, including the so-called
white collar slaves and profession
ais who today are out on the bread
line, with their families starving
at home, is of fundamental ma
tionaI significance.
The '1ame-duck" Congress, Hoo
yer at its head, will continue to
''Save the comtry'-at the expense
of the workers and small farmers.
The answer will be mass struggle
for relief, the election Of delegates
in the blocks, fighting for relief,
against evictions, the shutting off
of gas, electricity, ETC.; delegates
from all unions and especially Of
the American Federation Of Labor,
whose bureaucrats are throwing
hundreds of thousands out of their
ranks because they are unable to
pay dues and assessments, being
unemployed, while the officials still
rake in their salaries and graft;
delegates from all the mass organ
izations, fraternal lodges, clubs, etc.
the great bulk of whose member
ship is unemployed; from the sea-
men, etc. etc
THE basis of the Hunger March
IS the actuaI determined Strug-
gle for immediate relief, by the
building up of block committees,
neighborhood unemployed councils,
and committees to work in the
markets, Hooveryilles, bread lines,
municipal lodging houses, etc.
This Hunger March will not be
mere duplication of the Hunger
March of last year, nor a reflex of
the British Hunger March. The
crisis in the United States is far
deeper than in any other capital
list country of the world Unem-
ployment in the United States is
more than twice greater than that

THE THREAT
AND THE ANSWER!

This unanimity was further ex-
pressed by Hoover broadcasting
from Washington for winter re-
lief to be taken out of the pockets
of the workers, and Owen D.
Young, the Democrat, broadcast
ing from Cleveland.
The statement by Mr.. O'Brien,
mayor-elect of New York, as to
terror against rioters, Hoover's
talk about mob rule" in Washing
ton referring to the driving of the
veterans out of Washington by fire
and sword, show clearly that the
boss class is determined not only to
starve the unemployed but merci-
lessly to shoot them down.
The answer of the unemployed
and the employed workers, the
greater majority of whom are
working part time, will be more
intense struggle against starvation
ton and the imminent world war
against the Soviet Union. This
struggle against starvation, Nor
man Thomas and the Socialist
Party call Indictment to fascism",
thus showing that the Socialist
Party allies itself with the capital
ist class in crushing the struggle
of the workers for unemployment
relief and insurance and against
wage cuts.

ployedD. The workers have nothing
to fall back upon-no savings, no
unemployment inSurance-and are
in the midst of the worst catastro-
phe that the United States has
ever experienced.
IMMEDIATE TASKS
Therefore, the whole Communist
Party organization, revolutionary
unions and fraternal organizations
have no more basic task than the
organization of struggles for i1nne-
date relief and the preparation for
the Hunger March. This means:
I. Every Party unit in its ter
ritory must Immediately become
the organizer of block commit
tee in its territory, drawing in
whole blocks and even neighbor-
hoods in the building up of these
committees and Immediately ty-
ing them up with the Unemploy-
ed Council.
2. Communists in the revolu-
tionary unions of the Trade
Union Unity League must imme-
diately take steps to organize
committees in all the unions for
carrying on the struggle for re-
lief and insurance.
5. The Communists in the unions
Of the A. r. Of L. and indepen-
dent unions must Immediately
raise in a militant manner the
whole question of unemployment
in their local, get committees ap-
pointed. They must see to ii that
delegates are elected either Off
cially from the local or from the
left-wing to the Convention of
the A. F. of L. in Cincinnati; at
the same time tying up the locals
or these committees with the I'm
employed Council of the neigh
bOrhood.
4. Communists in the fraternal
organizations must Immediately
see that committees are elected
to carry on joint work in the
blocks and the neighborhoOd
councils for the struggle for re-
lief, against evictions, etc.
Special attention must be given
to drawing the Negro and Latin
American workers and their Or
CARNATIONS into the struggle since
they are by far the worst sufferers
from the crisis. AS indicated in Of
fetal reports of New York City,
these nationalities are the worst
victims from the scourge OF the
crisis.
Particular attention must also be
given to the young workers who
are denied every form of relief and
are the most militant fighters, both
white and Negro. More attention
must be given to work among the
v-nlen workers, both single and
married.
THE preparations for the Hunger
March mean in addition to
struggle, the building up of organ
ization, also the raising Of suffi-
cient funds. Trucks, gas, food,
clothing for the nsarchers, etc,
must be procured in large amounts
Wherever possible, trucks should
be procured free, from synpa-
thizers, care being taken that the
trucks are in proper condition. The
International Labor Defense must
be prepared to meet mass assaults
and arrests.

THE elections are over and the
program of the capitalist class,
as far as unemployed relief and
insurance and wage-cuts are con-
cerned, remains the same Roose-
welt has no different policy from
that of Hoover, and both are de-
termined, on the orders Of Wall
Street, to economic" at the ex-
pense Of the working class.
That this is true is clear from
the fact that in the railroad in
dustry, there sit at the head of
a federal commission, Al Smith and
Calvin Coolidge, thus showing the
unity Of the two big capitalist par
ties.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-11-14
MUST EMERGE
VICTORIOUS!

This is going to be the miohtiest
battle that the workers of this
country have waged, and all the
forces of the working class must
be modified so that we may come
out victorious from the struggle.
Unemployment relief will be
granted In measure that the
workers fight for 1t! Unemploy-
ment insurance can and will be
won in the United States only
through the mass pressure of the
working class. We have saved the
ScOttsborO boys thus far by
mass pressure and mass demon
stration. We will win unempioy-
ment insurance only in this way.
The time Is short. The task is
tremendous. All forces of the Com
munist Party and the revolution
airy movement must get on the lob
once.
