Parade the White House but the best they could do was to ob tain an audience from S e c r e t a r y Vice Pres. Ma r v i n McIntyre Garner f or a delegation beaded by David Lasser, president of the alliance. Lasser declared after spending 30 minutes with the President’s secre tary: "Mr. McIntyre gave us a lot of nice words, but nothing substan tia!. If nothing is done to give these people jobs there will be a hunger march on Washington next summer I d .U d > huDdreds of thonsaDd. win take part We are tired Roosevelt's promissory notes." Lasser and his delegation also called on Vice President Garner at the Capitol and got even less satis faction from him. ‘‘The jobless feel that we have been sold out by the Democratic party." Lesser declared, in present ing his petition. "I resent that,” snapped the Vice President, reddening. "I have been in politics for 40 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 the hankers home relief: we want jobs!” "Slaves will not be killed." “ We demand employment Insurance.” “ Pass the Marcantonio bill," this being a 6 billion-dollar re lief bill introduced by the New York city representative. Labor Says Industry Is Arming for Conflict D E FO R E the senate subcommittee L i on labor appeared spokesmen for organized labor with charges that there is a great movement of machine guns, tear gas and police clubs into industrial centers for use ln contending with strikes and at tendant disorders. The first wit ness to tell the story of the arming of industrial plants for conflicts with labor was J. P. Harris, a steel worker from Portsmouth, Ohio. In support of Ills assertions came a mass of data compiled by the sen ate munitions investigating commit tee and presented at the hearing by Heber Rlankenhorn. an employee of the national labor relations board. At one point Harris testified that he knew the \\ heeling Steel corpor ation at Portsmouth was “ arming.” a statemen* that brought from cor poration officials at Portsmouth an assertion that company police were armed to protect property against “ thieves and firebugs, and they will continue to be armed." At another point In the hearing there wa3 testimony that general "rumors" were being circulated that the Ford Motor company was “ shot through” with spies, hired to report on the activities of labor.
