To Demand Immediate Jobless Relief The Bonus Marchers will hold a city wide Mass Conference on Sun- day, November 13, at which the plans for the March will be fur- ther discussed and perfected. The Conference will be held at Irving Plaza, beginning at 2 p.m. Many Delegates are expected to attend the Conference, NEW YORK.—All bonus marchers, veterans employed and unemployed will demonstrate today in a Bonus parade at Union Square. The vet- erans will assemble at 10 a.m. and following @ short meeting will march through the working class sections of lower New York. ‘The Demonstration today is apart of the nation-wide fight for the bonus and in preparation for the second bonus march to Washington Decem- ber 5. Answer Atwell In a special statement issued by the City Committee of the Workers Ex-Servicemen’s League, the veterans exposed the statement of E. F. At- well, special agents of the bankers, who in a statement in the Daily News yesterday attempted to confuse the worker veterans and those who have been ruined by the crisis with a lot of bunk about waiting until Roose- velt takes his seat in the White House next March 4. “We are not going to wait until March 4, 1933, for our back pay; we are going to March to Washington arriving De- ecember 5, when the 78th Congress will begin,” declare? the veterans’ committee. “We sitall demand the immediate payment of our back pay, the bonus. We shall also demand that all the billions being given to the bankers, and to the War Depart- ment for another imperialist war be turned over to the unemployed for the payment of the bonus and un- employment insurance.” Only by large demonstrations here and in other cities throughout the country, will rank and file veterans be able to show the real power be- hind their demands, and force the government to retreat from its vici- ous stand. The committee explained that if rank and file veterans take part in Armistice Day military par- ades also held today by the bankers and their political lackeys, these vet- erans will only be helping the enemy against their own interests. Members of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans, the B. E. F., and others will participate in today’s de- monstration in Union Square, They are doing so, in spite of efforts of various “leaders” in these organiza- tions to prevent them; to make them take part in “official” parades for the bosses. This Armistice Day demonstration in the interests of rank and file vet- erans, the committee explained, comes at a time when the national government and its lackeys are mak- ing desperate efforts to stop the bonus march to Washington. The first contingents of the marchers to the capitol, however, start this week from West Coast cities. All of these organizations will go to Washington this Winter to fight against the veterans. They are ac- tive now, day and night. The only reply to theSe anti-veteran groups must be intensified activity by the rank and file—a giant Armistice Bo- nus Demonstration today in Union Square—and a giant bonus march on Washington on December 5. All out to today’s demonstration, for the im- mediate payment of the bonus; in memory of Hushka and Carlson; for unemployment insurance at the ex- pense of the employers and govern- ment! “They Can’t Afford to the Buyer, Boasting BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 10.—In one vulture like industry there is no depression.

Martial Law Declared The reactionary Geneva Cantonal Council today ordered additional troops into the city, and declared martial law. News of the massacre by the mili- tary reached Zurich towards the end of a mass meeting organized by the Communist Party in celebration of the,.15th Anniversary. of the proletar~ ian revolution in Russia. The work- ers at the celebration surged into the streets demonstrating and protesting against the brutal murder of their Geneva comrades. Many fierce collisoins with the po- lice occurred. The police fired into the ranks of the workers. The cas- ualties are unknown. Communists Urge General Strike The Communist Party immediately issued an appeal to the workers of Switzerland for a general protest strike against the massacres. Many protest meetings already have been held under the leadership of the Communist Party throughout Switz- erland, although a number of these meetings were prohibited by the po- lice, as for instance at Winterthur, whereythe workers militantly defied the police orders. Protest demonstrations were held last night at Lausanne where also collisions occurred betwéen the work- ers and the police and many were ar- rested. Fierce indignation is sweep- ing the working class throughout Switzerland.

BREAD RELIEF PLAN N. Y. Charity Works Out Semi-Starvation Diet; “Saves Money” PREPARE HUNGER MARCH Fight for $50 Winter Federal Relief! NEW YORK. — The organization known as “The Society for the Im- provement of the Condition of the Poor” has issued a new starvation Giet, figured so that at the lowest possible cost, enough unemployed workers can be kept half alive until they may be wanted in industry again. Lucy Gillett, director of the “So- ciety” nutrition bureau, worked it out, and does not even claim that it is enough, She says it “cannot cover by the wildest stretch of imagination” the diet “nutrition experts would like to suggest”. Here !s what they want you to live on, you workers who are jobless be- | cause you produced more than the boss can sell: At least a pint of milk a day for children, and for adults if possible. Three pounds of potatoes and one-half can of tomatoes a person a week, Three to four pounds of cheap- est varieties of vegetables and fruits, such as cabbage, carrots, yellow turnips, onions, bananas and prunes, a person a week. Day old bread, because of de- creased cost. One-half to three-fourths pound of fat and sugar-a person a da: {Small amounts of eggs, cheese, meat and fish when funds permit. Cod-liver oil for every child un- der three years of age. But the “Society for the Improve- ment of Conditions of the Poor” isn’t fanatical about any of these things. It knows that the big bosses may not want to pay even for this much, and it suggests the unemployed eat the vegetables raw so as to save the cost of gas. It suggests they buy evapo- rated milk and milk powder in- stead of fresh milk, and this saving, “will buy the fruits and vegetables needed”. It worries a little over the cost of the “small amounts of eggs, cheese, meat and fish”, but thinks they should be provided wherever possible, “for psychological reasons”. ‘This is howrthey want you to live, Jobless Workers! And in fact, this is better than they intend to let you live, Only a small percentage of the jobless will get relief enough for this diet, even if they don’t fight hard for it. Millions will live this winter as they did last winter, on breadliné soup and “coffee-and.” Not More Than This. Such figures as those given out by the “Society” are intended as an upper limit, to keep any small places from going further and to quiet the jobless with the idea that they can live on almost nothing. But winter is coming, and notice that the “Society” makes no provi- sion for clothing, for fuel, for hous- ing in zero weather! Demand $50 Winter Relief! ‘This is why the National Hunger March will demand $50 cash relief for each jobless worker for special winter needs and in addition to lo- cal relief. The $50 is for the increased diet needed to withstand piercing cold,-it 1s for some warmer under- wear and maybe a sweater, and a pair oe shoes. © Them Feed You! Socal pri pen must compel the loca! authorities to at least provide food, must stop evictions and turn- ing off of gas, light and water, must force the authorities to give coal for heat, or provide other heat. These struggles should be organized under the leadership of united front com- mittees in every neighborhood, in every bread line. And local struggles lead to mass support of the National Hunger March, which on December 5 will demand from Congress not only the $50 winter relief but unemployment insurance at the expense of the cap- italists and the Government, .

Hoover’s congratulatory telegram to Roosevelt went be- yond the usual formal “good ¢— wishes” of the defeated can- didate by promising every possible helpful effort.” Roosevelt answered this at once, saying: “I appreciate your generous tele- gram for the immediate as well as for the more distant future. I join in your gracious expression of a common purpose in helpful effort for our country.” “NOT PARTISAN.” This was followed Wednesday night by an “address to the nation,’ by Roosevelt's campaign manager, Farley, in which he said: “No polit- ical overturn in our history has left so small a heritage of bitterness. Our new president cannot be parti- san in his conduct of national af- fairs... .” Next, Secretary of State Stimson announced: “I certainly will deem it my highest duty from now on to make it as easy for my successor as I possibly can.” Yesterday in most of the capital- ist press, apparently inspired stories appeared, pointing out that there will be no “sudden change” in na- tional policies, because such ¢hanges he and affirming that they were far from the mind of the newly-elected president.

These are official election board figures, and cover all but seven of the more than 3500 precincts in the country. Cook County includes the City of Chicago and most of its sub- urbs. This is nearly 1,200 per cent above the thousand votes for Foster in Cook County in 1928. It is over a third of the Socialist vote this year. Thomas got 32,737 for president on the So- cialist ticket in Cook County this year. Reynolds, Socialist Labor can- didate for president, got 1,686 votes in Cook County. Cut Into Socialist Vote Bill Browder, running for U. S. ‘the unist ticket, got 9,897 votes in Cook County, as against the vote of 16,169 for the socialist candidate, Progerelic.
