Every Party Member Shou ONE OF THE BREADLINE MEN CALLS WORKERS TO DEMONSTRATE MAY Ist 3,000 in Line for Bit of Terrible Food Wait for Hours and Then Many Get Nothing Points Out “Charity” of Bosses Is Only a Blind to Keep Workers from Fighting for Rights (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK CITY.—We have to get the men on the breadlines to join our demonstration on May Day. Was on one breadline to get food. Line forms long before the 7:30%a. m. set, at 28th St.; doubles at Mad- ison Ave., and turns westward at 29th. Stops at Church of the Trans- figuration, 1 E. 29th. There you get one ticket to a cheap beefsteak restaurant on Second Ave. Choice of beans and franks or Irish stew. Awful stuff, I think. About 3,000 there when I was on the line. After 9:30 those still on the line are stung. Workers, this “charity” of the bosses is only a blind, and a mighty -poor one at that. Show your strength. Demonstrate against unemploy- ment in Union Square May Day. —ONE OF THE BREADLINE MEN.
