NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-PartiaI vic
tories are being won in many states
and localities in the struggle against
hunger and for immediate relief. The
three thousand workers who partici-
pated in the National Hunger March
are, for the most part, taking leading
roles in all the local and state cam
paigns. The capitalist class is be-
coming alarmed as all parliamentary
receptions fail to stem the rising tide
of struggle. The National Committee
of Unemployed Councils, with offices
at so East 18th St., New York, has
issued a statement denouncing the
political agents of Wall Street in the
United States congress and senate and
calling upon the workers and farmers
to immed,a tely launch powerful
concentrated drive to compel immed-
late cash relief at the expense of the
government and the employers.
Expose Political Tricksters
1T is now month and a half"
declares the National Committee of
Unemployed Councils" since the de-
mands of the Hunger March were
presented to the United States con-
greSS, both to the senate and House
OF Representatives. Although in the
beginning both the chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations of the
U. S. Senate and James w. Collier,
Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives denied that the demands
of the Hunger March had been re-
ferred to them by the House and the
Senate, nevertheless, they have been
forced to admit it.
Nevertheless" continues the state
ment, these representatives of Wall
Street continue to ignore the de-
mands of the unemployed despite the
fact that every investigation, both by
the federal, state and local govern
ments is proving the contentious of
the unemployed. that unemployment
is increasing, the conditions of the
workingclass becoming worse, child
misery increasing, and at the same
time relief is being Systematically
reduced.
Demand Immediate Hearing
"The National Committee of the
Unemployed Councils calls upon all
its local organizations, unions, frat
ernal lodges, clubs, etc., to send re-
solutions to these gentlemen de-
handing an immediate hearing on
the Hunger March demands. Let
Wall Street, Roosevelt and the De-
mocratic Congress know that there
is one main order of business-that
is immediate cash relief and unem-
plOyment insurance at the expense of |
the Government and the employers. |
Stop the. hunger of the masses! |
Fight for relief for yourself and your
children! Force the bosses and the
Government to grant our demands"
Washington Governor Yields
OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan. 16. - The
State Hunger March committee and
the Olympia Unemployed Council
forced Governor Martin to grant
food, housing, a conference hall and
a legislative hearing for the march.
The lines of march are constantly
increasing, with fishermen from the
Coast, farmers from all along the
lines of march and carloads of native
Indians from the reservations join
ing in the march. The returning Ma
tional Hunger Marchers have aided
tremendously in preparations for the
State action, especially in Spokane.
Not only are demands being made
upon the state and local govern
ments, but all along the lines OF
workers and farmers are be-
ing aroused against the attempts OF
the congressman and senators at
Washington, D. c., to ignore the de-
mands of the National Hunger
Marchers and to try to dupe the
workers with such deceptive measures
and the Black Bill for legalization
Of the stagger system and the spllri-
Gus Toilette Costogan memploy-
ment bill.
