ings throughout the eastern
states, will carry the demands
of the children to President

children reads:
"At a time when workers children
weak from lack of food are fainting
daily in the public schools, at time
when children cannot attend school
because they have no shoes, or cloth
ing, at a time when children have
even dropped dead of hunger right in
the class rooms, at a time when over
100000 children are roaming the
country, homeless. lfriendless, cold
and hungry, President Hoover issues
his Thanksgiving Day November "a
Proclamation from his warm and
beautiful White House in Washing
ton. "Give Thanks, he says. For
what? we ask-''for the blessing of
Wall Street.-The gifts of cold and
hunger, and rags?"
moi The workers and their chill
dren have no need or reason for
Thanksgiving Hoover's 'Thanksgiv-
ing Day must become our fighting
day against child misery. 1t must
become our fighting day for free
food, and clothing, against child la
Dor and for the government to sup
port those children now forced to re-
place adults at body breaking toll in
the mills, the mines, the factories,
and on the fields.

providing every unemployed worker
with fifty dollars plus ten dollars for
each dependent as immediate winter

to get milk, bread, clothing and shell
ter. The Children's Hunger Delega-
ton will demand that the federal
