"JuSt AS Good"
Such storm of demands from
employed and unemployed workers
for unemployment insurance, such a
number OF demonstrations, including
the National Hunger March and a
score of state marches, has broken
loose, that the big industrialists can
not entirely ignore it. They will not,
without further pressure, grant what
the workers want, but they have
reached the Stage of offering some
thing they try to say is lust as
good"
Wagners Plan.
Senator Wagner of New York, in
a radio address Dec. 81 pointed out
that the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation with 81 100000 in its
hands, had given out only s360,000
for relief work, principally construc-
ton projects which gives more to
contractors than to the unemployed.
He proposed again his own special
system of unemployment insurance,
with small payments, administered
by the state and with no workers
control over it, thus establishing o
neat blacklist system.
Swope's Swindle.
Gerard Swope, president OF the
General Electric Co., speaking at the

for the Advancement of Science, now
in session at Atlantic City, praised

More State Marches

More State Marches
NEWARK, N. j., Dec 29.-The
death of Lillian Sonnenberg, starved
and without medical attention, on
Christmas eve, at the very time an
other child of the family was elected
on the children's delegation to de-
mand relief from Governor Moore,
has filtered through working class
districts and is rousing unemployed
workers especially to struggle. Their
next big drive for relief will be a
state hunger march, with delegates
from all the industrial cities of New
Jersey, to reach Trenton Jan. IL,
when the legislature is in session.
Wednesday, workers of Hillside,
where Lillian Som anberg died, held
a mass meeting and called for all to
rally to the Hunger March.
Children Barred Out
Governor Moore had police bar
ricade the state house against the
children. Mass support is needed for
the demands of the State Hunger
March. AS proposed by the New Jer-
sey Unemployed Councils, they are:
I. Prevailing Trade Union Wages
for all labor on public works for mu-
inequalities, counties, and state.
! Against all forms of forced labor. and
for unemployment relief.
2. Winter Relief to the extent of
$25 for each unemployed worker and
IS additional for each dependant.
3. No discrimination against single
workers and Negroes in the distribu-
ton of relief.
4. Immediate appropriation of
funds for broad system of public
works, including the building of
schools, roads and hospitals.
The State and Hunger March Com
nlittee appeals to all Unemployed
Councils in the State of N. J. to or
ganize the unemployed in the blocks
and neighborhoods of their respective
cities and towns to call mass meet
ings and carry on struggles for relief,
to approach mass organizations and
ALL. unions on the basis of winter
relief, unemployment insurance and
the fight against forced labor.
Financial support and the election
of delegates are to be strongly stress
ed in approaching all these groups. :.
