In order to make this demand the Na- tional Committee of the Unemploy- ed Councils is organizing the Na- tional Hunger March that will meet in Washington on December 5, at the time of the opening of Con- gress.

We must make the National Hunger Mareh a demand of the entire workingclass of this country, the demand of all the starving op- pressed and exploited masses. All workers and all workers’ or- ganizations, especially the Trade Union Unity League unions, the militant workers in the AF.L, un- ions, must give full support to or- ganize and equip the National Hun- ger March for an effective struggle. This requires participation in all the local actions for relief, support to the unemployed councils, the election of delegates, the providing of the delegates with food and shelter at all the centers where they will march through towards their goal: Washingion.

They decided to shift their ground a little, and to present some makeshift unemploy- ment insurance plan in order to confuse the issue and defeat real unemployment insurance. Hence the decision of July 22, 1932.” > > > With these words, this excellent new pamphlet, Unemployment In- surance and the A, F. of L., cor- rectly sums up the change of front exhibited by William Green and his officials toward the demand for unemployment insurance, .« No pamphlet could be more timely or more important for the working class than this statement on the fight of the rank and file in the American Federation of La- bor for unemployment insurance and relief.
