BUTTE, Mont, Nov. Is (By MaiD.
Direct from secretary of the North
western delegation National Hunger
March:
six delegates travelling by auto
are in full swing toward Washing
ton. in spite of the fact that the ad
vance car which was to have ar
ranged for our reception in the towns
along the way has failed us. But we
know the value of organized action,
and are spreading much propaganda,
organizing our efforts on the long
distances between towns in this
sparsely settled region.
I'VE had a successful meeting in
Spokane where almost all of our dele
cation spoke. Starting off from there.
we headed for Butte Idaho and
Montana proved to us that there
should be work. The roads over
which we Travelled were not highways.
Probably they could pass for cow
path which has been slightly widened.
Hundreds of workers could be en-
ployed to keep the roads leveled and
snow shoveled but if the capitalists
cannot get any profits from any en-
terprise that they conduct, they just
don't conduct it, that's all. We en-
countered quite bit of snow, had
trouble with the car, punctured a
tire. and various little nick-nakS al
ways getting out of order-that's be-
cause we aren't travelling in a limou-
sine.
We were shown the keys to the
city OF Missoula by having two Of
cur comrades picked up on charge
of suspicion of post Office robbery
AS the rest Of us were looking for
them, we too we're picked up. How
ever, the chief of police was sur
prised to have rounded up delega-
ton heading for Washington, D. c.
After having proved that we had
Just arrived in town, they let US go
at / 80 in the morning. We met with
little mishap to the car thus max !
ing it impossible for US to arrange
any meeting in this town. The car
is fixed and our delegation is more
than ever determined to go through
with our schedule to make it to Min
neapolis on time for the conference.
Despite hsrdships. we workers are
not going to slacken our pace.
Determination to win the demands
of the unemployed workers keeps us
going.
