MARCH OF UNEMPLOYED.
CESSNOCK TO SYDNEY. ONLY SIX FACE ORDEAL. (Received July 20, 5.43 p.m.) SYDNEY, July 20. A much heralded " hunger march " on Sydney by unemployed men at Cessnock, organised by two prominent Communists was begun yesterday. Only six men took part, however. A heavy frost before dawn had made the empty streets particularly uninspiiing even to tlie six enthusiasts and their departure was delayed until the sun had taken the. edge off the keen atmosphere. A crowd of people saw the men off and some women accompanied them for a mile or so. It is stated that more men will follow on Monday, when a loiiy may carry their equipment.
