Members of a local union, Officers of the Public Works and Unemployed League, had planned a parade in protest of dole (government aid) reductions announced by the Los Angeles City Relief Administration but their permit was denied by City Council. In lieu of the parade, they held a rally at the Los Angeles Plaza where several speakers took the stand.
