	The men from Jarrow who marched with two banners bearing the words "Jarrow Crusade" wanted Parliament and the people in the south to understand that they were orderly, responsible citizens and just lived in a region with too many difficulties. At that time Jarrow had an unemployment rate with an average of 75 per cent and really suffered from the Depression and the related closure of the steel work. Therefore the men wanted a new steel work to be built and bring back jobs to their town. Ellen Wilkinson, the local MP, headed the 25-days march and carried the petition for presentation to the House of Commons which was signed by 11,572 people. The march attracted unprecedented coverage by the media and was supported by the towns the marches went through so that a further petition was collected en route.
