GARNER DENIES
PARADE PERMIT
Ru sh kilograms to
Demand Rights

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. l.
Speaker Garner of the House OF
Representatives, Democrat and Vice
President-ele today rejected the
demands for permit for the Ma
tional Hunger Marchers to parade
to the capitol building and present
their proposals for $50 Winter Relief
and Unemployment Insurance to
congress.
Neither Garner nor President
Curtis, Republican, the only two who
can grant such permits, would do so
yesterday.
They don't want the spectacle OF
5000 representatives of the millions
of jobless actually putting to con-
gress their demands for relief
The delegation consisted of Chair
man Reynolds and Secretary Benja-
min of the National Committee.
They presented demands for:
IA legislative program that will
place bread before beer.
Food, shelter and the right to
parade to the capitol building for the
3,o0A National Hunger Marchers.
After Gamers refusal, Reynolds
~The Speakers attitude confirms
our opInIUn UnaG the Democ- aolc
promises concerning unemployment
relief were mere vote catching
phrases. They show the federal gov
eminent is not really sincere in its
promises to provide relief for the UNI
employed.
Curtis told the delegation to pre-
sent their request in writing to the
Architect of the Capitol and the
Sergeant-At-Arms of the Senate, and
added: 1T is my frank personal opin-
ion that they should not even listen
to you. In regard to the legislative
program for unemployment relief
and insurance, Curtis slipped behind
some technicalities: IT don't have
anything to do with it unless there
is tie vote in the Senate he said.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. IA
sweeping mass movement in all cit
les along the route of the National
Hunger March and in all industrial
centerS, hundreds of kilograms from
mass meetings and workers organ
iZationS has defeated the plan of the
government to stop the marchers
before they get to WASHINGTON, and
has forced grudging admission that
they will have to be allowed into
the capital city.
New Trick.
But the capitalist government is
maneuvering. After rejecting de-
mands Of the National Committee
of Unemployed Councils for food and
lodging here, and after consultations
between the Department of Justice,
District of Columbia Commissioners.
Chief of Police Brown, and previous
plotting with the heads of business
mems organizations, police officials
gave out partial details OF their pro-
gram.
They animated they would try to
break up the march in small groups,
under police guard, and scatter them
about the city, prohibiting any
march through the streets and allow
ing them to approach the capital
building, only as individuals"
They admitted they would have
to let a committee present the de-
mands Of the marchers to congress,
but declared that this committee
could not be accompanied by the
5000 marchers, nor by any such half
million strong asesnblage of Wash
ington citizens as turned out to the
hunger march a year ago.
Against this plan to split The
and interfere with the
right to assemble and petition con-
gress for redress Of grievances" the
mass protest Of the millions Of
workers in this country should rise.
Workers! Hold meetings, wire
your demands for the right of the
workers to go in body to congress
and present their demands, which
are your demands, for $50 Federal
Winter Relief to the jobless, and for
federal unemployment insurance at
the expense of the government and
Wire them to Speaker
Garner, Vice President Curtis, and
to your own congressman
Demonstrate Dec. 6:
Hold mass meeting and demon
STATIONS on Dec. 6, when the de-
nands of the National Hunger March
are given to congress, and call on
congress TO grant those demands.
