They met in West Park in bitter cold weather. Only a fraction had overcoats. They listened for over an hour to speakers, then marched, cheering, singing, and shouting slogans across Mansfield Bridge into the center of town where more joined them, and then back along Federal St. to West Park, then to the hall at 805 James St. for the report of the committee. On the way marchers shouted: Others answered, “Around the corner!” corner!” Passing schools, the demonstrators shouted: “Free food for the kids!” The committee elected to go to the county commissioners was driven back into the line of march by a charge of mounted police when it tried to leave in a body at tie bridge. Harry Harvey, chairman of the com- mittee, instructed it to leave one by one, and re-assemble in front of the county building. It did so, but found the county commissioners had vanished. The committee then went to the city council. At the West Park and James St. mass meetings, speakers were: Pat- terson, chairman; John Meldon, for the Metal Workers’ Industrial League; Mary Himoff, for the Young Communist League; Frank Hill, for the McKeesport Unemployed Councils; Hawkins (Negro miner) and Siders, for the National Miners’ Union; Rebecca Grecht and Karl Price for the Communist Party.

Beerstéry Department THE RED HUNGER MARCH UPON WASHINGTON AN OPEN LETTER TO THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, THE MEMBERS OF THE PRESIDENT’S ORGANIZA. This Is Woll! ERE on this page is the proof that Matthew Woll, vice- president of the American poder ation of Labor, acting president of the National Civic Federation, is an agent of the biggest bankers and bos: in the United States. He is against unemployment insurance because it will cost his masters money. His record is one long series of betrayals of the interests of the working class. He was one of the prime movers in the putting over “labor” banking on the members of the American Federation of Labor. The Federation Bank of New York, headed by Woll, President William Green, Sullivan of the State Federation and others, failed recently for $13,000,000 the money of unions and the saving of workers. Woll, who fights unemployment insurance, who calls for new laws for suppression of the hungry millions in America, Woll who tries to provoke attacks by police and “Column 2 Starting trom Buffalo and proceeding via Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton, Allentown and joining with Col Philadelphia *Cokum Chicago and proceeding via town and Pittsburgh to "Toiedo, Cleveland.

In addition to this match upon Congress, the Party's program calls for similar demonstrations throughout the Country, as follows “There must ‘be mass demonstrations in every community of Ameria.

In sorie instances these clashes with the civil author- ities resulted, you will recall, in loss of life The program from which'I have quoted concludes, it is interesting to note as revealing the Party's real objec- tive, by urging the overthrow of the Government and the establishment of a proletarian dictatorship. % All these demands and these means of struggle are ails the fist steps toward orranizing the power of the 1 ing masses completely to overthrow this system of capitalist sfavery and starvation and to reorganite the whole of can society onthe basis of Socialism The nature of the “demands” this Red march plans to make upon Congress is seen in the enclosed circular now being distributed throughout the country. It bears the sig- nature of “Unemployed Councils Committee,” a front be: hind which the Communist Party advances its propaganda in this special field Not only do these authorized proposals demand that the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars immediately be paid tach of the unemployed, with fifty dollars for each de- pendent, but they call also for free rent, gas and electric light, and for "free food for children of unemployed and part-time workers.” These proposals include further a demand for the im- mediate passage of a so-called Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill providing : “Q) Werkeps’ Unemployment Inowance full ‘a pa ley ploy equal to (6) This ansoned to irs ty te Toc grees ment free of charge to all workers. “(a) Unemployment insurance is to be paid for every meri- yy of “() a: cost of this insurance and ite administration is he raised by a sharply tax upon all incomes over $8,000"" “A CRUST OF BREAD ON A BAYONET—this is the loover program of ‘tele’ of the unemployed” (Emphasis es ) The “demands” made at all such Communist demon- strations are always pitched so high, as you doubtless have noted, as to make consideration of them in any circum- stances impossible. The Reds do not actually expect them to receive consideration, on the contrary, “their purpose is fo insure their rejection, so.that they say tell their dupes that ‘the “governing class” wishes to starve the working’ class into a state of utter helplessness.

The only real effort to show up the actual character of these demonstrations in an effective way was made by the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce as the Reds were, ‘organizing, early this year, a “Hunger March” upon the Ohio State Capitol. Describing the revolutionary aims of the organizers of this demonstration, the Chamber warned tradesmen and others along the projected route not to contribute food or shelter to the marchers, nor in any way to encourage them. As indicated, their pram, for this great Hunger March—both going and returning—on which they have worked for more than three months, is most elaborate For instance, the “Routes of the March” are as follows : “The National Be March shall in ‘ikees.

It was given out that he was just finished giving a for unemployment relief. This excuse—a “party” when thousands are starving!—only made the demon- strators more determined. They in- sisted on coming in, and police forced Anna Rollins, of the committee down stairs and barred them all. The dele
