with a tremendous roar to support
the National Hunger March to Wash
ineton, and to prepare for it with
hunger hearings, with united front
organization in the neighborhoodS
and breadlines and by increasing the
struggle for relief in Chicago.
"vote Communist"
Over 1000 police we're sent 70 over
awe the narcherS. So faT from being
cowed were they that they swarmed
I'D to the riot wagons and on one
of them painted in big red letters:
"Vete Communist
Ragged and lean unemployed work
ers, men, women and children, and
women with babies in their arms,
surged along in step, shouting denun-
citation of the Hoover-Roosevelt hun
ger programs demanding winter re-
lief.
Mingled with them we're heartier
forms, workers who still have jobs
but who came out to fight the Hoover
stagger system, the wage-cuts, and
to demand relief for their unem-
ployed 1elloW-WorKerS.
Don't Starve; Fight!'
The west side and south side col
umns merged just outside the loop
at noon, and few minutes later the
north side column joined them.
The whole mass of hunger march
ers then swept through the Loop to
the city hall, chanting: I'VE want
work or relief; Don't Starve! Fight"
They marched past the city hall,
Is abreast, booing Mayor Cermak
who had tried to prevent their en-
trance into the Loop and only issued
q permit at the last moment.
Murderer" they shouted at the
mayor whose police killed the unem-
ployed council member, Sbosob, q
couple of weeks ago for demonstrat-
ing against the so per cent relief cut
which Cermak has now been forced
raised their fists against the city
hall and the Democratic administra-
ton there.
March Past Aimed Pistols.
When the great parade poured into
Michigan Boulevard, the street of the
millionaires' shops, the heart of the
financial and luxurious part of Chi
cago, the police tried to crowd them
Aonto the sidewalk. Police with drawn
pistols stood in the street, pointing
their guns at the marchers and yell-'
ing at them to get out of the street.
But with red flags waving and a
thunder of denunciation for the po-
Ice, the parade rolled by them and
down the middle of Michigan Boule-
ward.
Leaders of the Borders Committee
and Workers League tried to get
the masses to agree to the police de-
nlard, but leaders of the unemployed
council, with the masses behind them
disregarded the police order.
Scowling proprietors of shops whose
iron grated windows we're full OF
jewels and thousand dollar dresses
shiyored in the doorways.
Red Flag Waves.
A red flag was placed on traffic

waved there all during the march,
with the rich residents and out-of-
town commercial men looking in hor-
Tor at it and at the mighty demon
stration of the jobless. The windows
of the fashionable hotels: Blackstone,
Ccnyrcss, Stevens, were crowded, and
so we're the windows and doors of
the University Club. The marchers
f1ran to sing songs against Hoover's
d Roosevelt's starvation policy.
