OPPOSITION TO BONUS.

burden OF $4,000 900 or So thereby inviting
newed initiation and probably higher prices just
when conditions show signs of Improvement
There is more opposition evident within the ranks
OF the veterans themselves From many parts of the
country members Of congress have been receiving

ice men, many Of them members Of the American
Legion.
