 ENGLAND MARCH
Coming From All Sections
 and Are on Their Way to London

London. Feb 22. (UP)--Unem- ployed from all over Scotland, Wales, and England neared Lon don to-day to hold mass demon stlation in Hyde Park Sunday. Thsre are perhaps 2.0O0 in all of the unemployed. trudging in small groups over all roads leading into London. The first. group. 27 women from Derbyshire, arrived last night at Welwyn. 25 miles north of Lon don. Led By Jane Campbell, 61- year-old weaver. and Renee Ed wards, 16-yqear-old mill worker, the women marched wearily into Welwyn singing:
 wen hang Ramsay Macdonald to a sour apple tree
 When the revolution comes."
 As the women neared London. John McShane, leader of the Scot tish contingent of unemployed. and Lewis Jones. the Welsh leader, ad- dressed a private meeting of 100 members of all parties of the house of comraons and demanded that depu;ation be received in the house itself to protest against the government unemployment bill
 -tbe reason for the march.
 We arc not politicians said McShane. We represent a mass revolt against the bill. We are not coming to provoke disorder. We do not mean to try to break into the house of commons to throw bricks at poll, emen."

10000 MEN ARE
 DIGGING AT THE STATE HIGHWAYS
Sleighs Used 10 Get Milk
 to 230 Children in SanatOrium

New Haven, Conn, Feb 22-CUP) The problem of getting milk ana food supplies to snowbound rural sections spured 10000 men to re- newed energy to-day'to open high ways in the state.
 The work of snow removal pro- gressed slowly and serious food shortages confronted many com munities. In the cities, conditions were much improved and demands were being supplied. Hospitals and families with babies were given preference in milk deliveries.
 Sleighs were used to deliver milk and meats to Undercliff sanatorium at Meriden in time to avert crisis among 239 children patients and 142 members of the hospital stan.
 At Danbnry supplies were near exhaustion to-day and bread sold fo ras high as 25 cents a loaf. About 1000 men worked to clear highways leading into the city while sleighs and snowshoe parties endeavored to break through with meager supplies. A similar condi- ton existed at Westport and in several other communities in the westcrnN portion of the state.
 At New Britain 1t was hoped to get milk and foodstuffs through late to-day. :.
 At Hartland. five members of the Hartland Hollow Coon club were marooned at the clubhouse. They reported by telephone sup plies were adequate-all but to- bacco.
 The custom of most rural fami-- lies in stocking up" at the end of each week prevented more wide spread shortages.
 The blizzard which brought a snowfall of nearly 30 inches and drifts ranging from three to 20 feet, claimed it's fourth victim in the death of John Tornesello, 49, at Waterbury. He succumbed to a heart attack after walking home mile from his work.
 Two barges of the Seaboard Coal company of New Haven were re- ported to have sunk in Long Island Sound between here and New York. The crews were taken off by towing tugs and beached safely.

 While Lockwood was cnthusl- astlc about the new club. he was frankly critical of Its symbol.

City Pays $50! 900 To Clean Up After Sno1v
All CWA and Mutual Aid Workers Have Been Trans ferred to City PayrOlls = 100 Trucks Will
 Be in Use Before Night

over $50,O00 will be the cost of the snow storm of Monday night and Tuesday to the municipality it was estimated to-day as an or der was issued switching all CWA and Mutual men at work shovelinG to the city payroll. The order is effective tomorrow morning This move will mean an increase in the daily cost to the city fol snow removal work of betweer ,$6,000 and $7,000. The men vii
 be paid by the city tomorrow and Saturday and will be kept on the job on Sunday, if possible, return ing them to their respective pay rolls on Monday.
 There were over 2,500 men working removing the snow to- day. About 400 of these were regular street department em- ployes. It is figured that there are 1,500 CWA men swinging shovels and that about 700 Mutual Aid men are on the job.
 The action on the part of the city in assuming the duty of pay ing the CWA and Mutual Aid men for their work tomorrow and Sat- urday, and on Sunday if necessary, is due to the fact that the CWA and Mutual Aid weeks end to-day.
 The cost of the snow removal increased to-day as the fleet of trucks in use was augmented. of Streets Thomas J. Fleming plans to have 100 trucks in use by the end of the day, if possible. He has found 1t a hard job getting all the trucks he wants and has issued a call for all owners of dump trucks to pre- sent themselves at the city yards if they want work.
 As for the city as a whole, 1t Is hard to estimate just yet what the cost of the storm will be but vari- ous opinions place the possible cost around $2O0,000. The business houses lost considerable income during the past few days although they had to keep up expenses just the same.
