Traffic was paralized for 40
minutes and thousands of
workers lined the sidewalks as
thousands of men, women and
children marched through the Loop
here Saturday in militant dem
onstration against C.W.A. flrings
and for the immediate enactment
Of the Workers Unemployment IN
surance Bill.
The spirited parade through the
Loop brought the unemployment
issue to the attention of the entire
city. The capitalist press, which
had boycotted all notices of prepa-
ration for the march, was forced
to acknowledge its effectiveness
with streamer headlines, announc-
ing that 5000 had joined the
march. Workers disembarked from
stranded street cars throughout the
Loop, ard joined the demonstration
and cheered the demonstrating
workers from the sidewalks. Auto
mobile traffic was at a standstill,
as the marchers, packed in solid
disciplined ranks, held their ground
for more than half hour before
the City Hall.

A delegation Of 10 went into the
City Hall to place the workers de-
mands before the Mayor, calling
for continuation and extension of

In unison, the workers, backing
up their delegation, shouted: I'VE

Is was headed by Karl Lockner and
Alexander Guss Of the Unemploy-

AS the committee left the City
Hall, the workers marched to Grant
Park. Here Lockner called upon
the workers to report on the job
Monday and demand work. He
called upon the workers to back up
