Western Newspaper Union "Hunger Marchers" Parade in the Capital A BOOT six hundred men and wom en, members of the recently or ganized Unemployed Workers' Alliance, staged a big parade of "banger march ers- in Washington, shouting demands, singing and waving banners. They sought to present a petition to President Roose velt In the W h 1 f e House but the best they could do was to obtain an audience from Secretary Mar vin Mclntyre for a delegation headed by David Lasser, presl dpnf nf thp fllllanoo Vice Pres. Garner Lasser declared after spending 30 minutes with the President's secretary: "Mr. Mclntyre gave us a lot of nice words, but nothing substantial. If notbing Is done to give these people jobs there will be a hunger march on Washington next summer in which hundreds of thousands will take part We are tired of Mr. Roosevelt's prom issory notes." Lasser and his delegation also called on Vice President Garner at the Capi tol and' got even less satisfaction from him. "The Jobless feel that we have been sold out by the Democratic party," Lasser declared. "I resent that," snapped the Vice President, reddening. "I have been in politics for io years and I don't think anybody has ever been sold out by the party." The marchers carried banners and placards with such inscriptions as: "Give thfe bankers home relief ; we want jobs!" "Slaves will not be killed," "We demand employment in surance," "Pass the Marcantonlo bill," this being a 6 billion-dollar relief bill introduced by the New York city rep resentative. Labor Says Industry Is Arming for Conflict BEFORE the senate subcommittee on labor appeared spokesmen for or ganized labor with charges that there is a great movement of machine guns, tear gas and police clubs into Indus trial centers for use in contending with strikes and attendant disorders. The first witness to tel^ the story of the arming of industrial plants for con 'flicts with labor was J. P. Harris, a steel worker from Portsmouth, Ohio In support of his assertions came a* mass of data compiled by the senate munitions Investigating committee and presented at the hearing by Heber Blankenhorn, an employee of the na tional labor relations board. At one point Harris testified that he knew the Wheeling Steel corporation at Portsmouth was "arming," a state ment that brought from corporation officials at Portsmouth an assertion that company police were armed to protect property against "thieves and firebugs, and they will contLnne to be armed.'"

Tangle of Diplomatic Rivalries in Europe MUSSOLINI'S African adventure and Hitler's Rhlneland doings and future Intentions, tangled togeth er, have created a situation that seemed to Imperil the formal friend ship between Great Britain and France. The British were insisting that Italy be curbed, that her use of poison gas In Ethiopia be taken up by the League of Nations and that peace negotiations between Italy and Ethi opia be opened quickly to forestall any attempt by Premier Mussolini to sign a settlement which might rise from ruins of Halle Selassie's Ethi opian empire. Foreign Secretary Eden Indicated the British were determined to make peace progress "before we leave Geneva." The conciliation committee of the league wmnnfit msr tttthr-or mr pr ng-~ ress, and In Rome Mussolini told bis cabinet that Ethiopia's armies should and would be "totally annihilated." His own forces, meanwhile, were mov ing rapidly toward Dessye and, Addis Ababa. ? France was reverting to her for mer policy of letting Italy go ahead with Its African conquest, devoting her attention mainly to Germany and cen tral Europe. The British continued to treat all that In a conciliatory way, which disgusted the French.- Premier Sarraut handed Id bis government's reply to the Hitler settlement pro posals, submitting in return Ita own plan. This demanded that Germany keep "hands off" the rest of Europe for 23 yean, renouncing her apparent Intentions of action against Austria, Danzig and MemeL " Haunted House" in Kent Leased by Lindberghs COL.
