Column 1, gathering New «Jersey contingents on the way, held” mass meetings of small (it was raining heavily by this time) but enthusiastic crowds, in Elizabeth and Standard Oil town of Linden.

READING, Pa., Dec, 4.—Five hun- dred Reading workers greeted the National Hunger Marchers of Col- umn 2°when it came through here today on the way to Philadelphia to- night, and on towards Washington tomorrow. They lined the streets of this city, where the socialist mayor Stump has been trying to mislead them for months.

The mass demonstration unani- mously endorsed the Workers. Un- employment Insurance Bill and adopted a telegram to send to Presi- dent Hoover demanding feeding and housing and permission to present demands for the 1,500 National Hun- ger Marchers who will be in Wash- ington Dec. 6 and 7. At the mass meeting, delegates from Buffalo, Jamestown, Niagra Falls and Read- ing were speakers. Column 2 spent last night in Al- lentown, and reach€s~ Philadelphia today. 2 . 5,000 Greet Col. 3 In Massilon, MASSILON, Ohio, Dec. 4—Five thousand workers gathered at the public square here yesterday to greet the National Hunger Marchers of Column 3. The matchers left imme- diately, being anxious to push, on to Youngstown before dark and stay ® over all night last night. Today Col- umn 3 will come on into Pittsburgh, to join with Column 4, and tomor- row to proceed on eastward towards washington. Massilon workers contributed food, money and gas to the suceess of the National Hunger March, -pledged unanimous support to the demands for unemployment insurance, and de~ clared themselves eager to build up ‘the Councils of the Unemployed. o 8 & YOUNGSTOWN, O., Dec, 4—Great crowds massing in the streets and public places and shouting their sup- port for the National Hunger March to Washington featured the progress of Column 3 Thursday through the heavy industrial section of Ohio from Cleveland to Youngstown. The com- plete endorsement of the marchers and their demands by the whole working class section of the popula- tion was even more demonstrative than on previous days. ‘There were 200 delegates in Col- umn 3 Thursday morning; the col- umn is growing as it goes along, 1,000 In Akron At Akron a thousand workers de- monstrated for the marchers in Perk- ins Square, and for the Akron dele- gation which joined the column there, The mass mieeting ratified the demands for unemployment insur- ance and adopted resolutions for the freedom of Mooney and Billings and denouncing Walker for his trickery. They also denounced the. Hammond police for their attack on Column 3. Twenty-five Akron Workers De- fense Corps members lead the march through Barberton, reputed to have @ police attack prepared. Not one policeman showed himself in the sight of the marchers. | Sign Thru Massilon | A’ big crowd hailed the marchers in Massilon, home town of General Coxey of Coxey’s army. The column swung through Massilon singing “Se- lidarity” and cheered by the workers along the way, and by farmers who had. come in. 2,000 In Camton’ ‘Two thousand waited for the’ col- umn at the city hall steps in Can- ton, Ohio. The National Hunger Marchers parked their .trucks and paraded up to the steps. | Here local delegates, amidst the cheering of the whole crowd, form- ally joined the National Hunger March. One of them spoke, telling of a woman falling dead from starv- ation, and of a five-year old boy coming to the home of a worker cry- jing for food. He challenged the city Officials to deny this. Fake relief plans of the Canton city administration were scored by all local speakers. The Canton unemployed fed the marchers. At Salem, workers and farmers the line-of march went by. 2-Mile Parade Youngstown In Youngstown the marchers got out and with eleven local delegates and over 500 workers, who joined them on their entry into the city, a parade on foot swung in a two-mile long hike through the main streets of the town an around the public square, This same square was denied to the workers on National Youth day which resulted then in a terrific fight. Thursday, the National Hunger Marchers and their supporters were not interferred with by police. The line two blocks long paraded, singing, and shouting slogans: “Work or wages!” “On to Washington!” “Don’t Starve! Organize and Fight!” These chanted slogans rose in a loud chorus to the time of marching footfalls. Thirty-five cars and trucks used by the. National Hunger Marchers of Column 3 followed the parade, which went to Ukrainian Hall.. There the delegates were fed by the Youngs- town Workers International Relief, and a meeting of 1,500 steel workers chereed their speakers. Ray Norman of Seattle, only 17- years old, told why he was marching. He started to work in a saw-mill at 16. He got three wage cuts in one year,. His father makes only $1.50 a day and he makes only 175 cents. After a strike, he was blacklisted. All four of the smaller ‘children in his family, are starving. Relief is cut off because the relief agency says there are no jobs. So he joined the Unemployed Council, and was elected to represent other Seattle jobless on this National Hunger-March, Harvey, Rubicki, Reynolds, Fiker and -Davis, a Negro delegate, and Beran, spoke on the demands for re- lief .and insurance, on the fight against evictions, on organization of the.. unemployed, on: building the Workers International Relief. ‘The marchers slept over Thursday night in the Workers Center of Youngstown, were given their break> fast through funds collected by the W. I..R, from workers of Youngs- town, and left Friday morning for Pittsburgh. Forty-four delegates joined the march from Cleveland and environs, one at Erie, two from Mansfield, two from Canton, one from Massilon, four from Akron, BOSSES WANT LONGER HOURS The eight-hour day must be de- clared filegal in such industries where it now prevails, Merwin K.

I feel that the Mooney-Billings case is symbolical of the class struggle in America.” FICKERT IN NEW ATTACK ON MOONEY CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONTD ‘The purpose of Governor Rolph and Walker is to force Mooney to accept @ gag pardon as the price of his freedom; to attempt to force Moo- ney to break away from the militant working class; to break the case from its basic character of a capitalist frame-up against the militant lead- ers of the California working class. The “criticism” by some of the capitalist press of Mayor Walker's action in the Mooney case is dying down, and with the latest move, of Fickert, the capitalists of the United States are lining up solidly on the policy of the Walker-A.F.L.-Morgan- socialist clique in attempting to bury the Mooney case in a barrage of fake issues of perjury and mistaken jus- tice, ‘The capitalist press, following out the purpose of the California bosses, shove the fate of Warren K. Billings more and more into the background, ‘The latest editorial on the Mooney- Billings case in Friday’s New York Times shows the growing unity of the bosses against Mooney and be- hind the Walker Fickert policy, The New York Times says: - “This (Walker's action in the case) is unquestionably a remarkable pub- lic achievement, whether it proves, in the end to have done less good than SECRET REPORT TELLS OF TURN OF NEGRO MASSES TO COMMUNISM TCONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE?

Of the robbery.of the Negro croppers by the landowners, of the system of forced labor, of the pollution of Negro women by the white landowners, the report 4s silent. We will fill in a few of the details from @ worker's report to the Daily Worker on con- |” ditions around Camp Hill, Alabama, where rich. | down and jailed Negro croppers for daring to organize to fight for better conditions.

The final result should be a decision, commend itself to the American sense of justice. The Mooney case can ‘no Jonger be disposed of in a corner. Mayor Walker, by his spec- tacular descent upon San Francisco, has forced it into the very center of the national stage.” It becomes clearer that Governor Rolph’s postponement of a decision for three months is done deliberately to allow time for maneuvering against Mooney, to further victimize Billings, and to attempt to break down the growing working class pressure for Mooney’s release. Governor Rolph, Mayor Walker, and attorneys Walsh and Sapiro, are trying to create the impression that the governor is “care- fully studying” the case’ and weighing the “evidence,” when it is a well known fact that Governor Rolph has known about the real frame-up for years, and that the latest move was to get rid of the case in the yeast embarrassing fashion, Throughout the United States the militant workers are preparing more determined campaign for the immediate and unconditional release of Mooney and Billings. The Na- tional Hunger Marchers on their way to Washington demand the release of Mooney and Billings. They point out the role of the capitalists in the Mooney case, the role of trying to prevent the workers from exposing the class justice of capitalist ‘‘dem- ocracy” and the attempt to use the Mooney case against the militant un- employed fighting for relief. ~ Every workers’ organization should immediately pass resolutions, call meetings and carry out protests, de- manding the release of Mooney and Billings and prevent the carrying out of the scheme of Walker, Rolph, the A. F. of L. in their efforts to get Mooney to repudiate the class strug- gles and thereby to rid the capitalists of California of the blame for a most dastardly erime against the working. class.

This statement was ascribed to Sec- retary of War Pat Hurley. Police had previously announced that they would “protest the hunger marchers from the crowd and from attacking the crowd.” Secretary of War Hurley also re-echoed the old charge that the National Hunger March is “subsi- dized” — a hint of “Russian Gold”, although everyone by now should know this march is “subsidized” only by the pennies of the masses of wage cut and unemployed workers in this country. This attempt to Jim Crow the Ne- gro delegates and the insulting refer- ence to “protecting” the delegates from the workers who enthusiastically support them, clearly a scheme to keep the marchers more or less pris- oners and away from the masses of jobless and workers in Washington) brought immediate answer from the National Hunger March Committte of the Unentployed Councils and from the Washington Arrangements Com- mittee, in the form of a joint, public statement as follows: “The National Hunger Marchers will not allow the Jim-Crowing of Negro delegates.
