"EX-SOLDIERS WARNED
Chicago, July 29.-Tx-service
men were warned by the American
Legion today TO stay away from
Chicago, if they were looking for
jobs. Thousands of World War vet
Grams already are walking the
streets here looking for employment,
the legion officials said" and we
say,> "nuff said" No, we don't.
This is too good a tale to let pass
without adorning with a moral.
Workers! the next time you 90 to
war to make the world safe for
democracy, pick fat capitalist to
march in front of you and armor-
plate his back so that the bullet that
enters his front cannot pass. When
the war is over, return and grab his
job. If there are any holes in this
advice please stop me.
WINFIELD STUART and his two
" kids hoofed it into Denver, Col
orado on three pair of battered dogs.
The father is suffering from a
broken back and paralyzed feet, af-
Elections which are not listed among
the necessary qualifications for
entry IN a cross country marathon.
Stuart broke said back in West
Virginia mine five years ago His
feet were paralyzed at the same
time.
GTUART got a broken back and
paralyzed feet as reward for
his years of service to the coal COM
pany. The owner of the coal com
pany may have gotten the govt or
something worse as a result of the
luxury he could afford from the pro-
ceeds of the unpaid labor of Stuart
or others. Now, a liberal would feel
equally bad about the broken back
of the worker and the equity foot
of the capitalist. He would try to
convince the capitalist that he should
buy Jolly pops for the workers chill
dren,s in order to show that he and
his slaves were the same under the
skin. But Communist would not
care if ton of anthracite fell on
the capitalists equity foot.
THE reader who sent me the batch
of clippings from which the fore
gong paragraphs were manufac-
tured must be a cheerful fellow.
Here is the title to the last "Castoff
Human Beings Harvest On City
Dump" This particular dump is in
Lansing, Michigan, and the reporter
tells of old men and women, young
girls and children plundering the
garbage for odds and ends of dis
carded clothing that enables them to
cover their nakedness to the salts
faction of a Methodist minister.
NOW, read what Hoover said in his
~ weary Palo Alto acceptance
speech while discussing the protec-
tive tariff. "Other countries gain
nothing if the high standards of
America are sunk and if we are pre-
vented from building a civilization
which sets the level of hope for the
rest of the world" Perhaps if this
high tariff on certain imports was
lowered the city dumps would not
be what they are today and the
dump rats" who now manage to
conceal their bodies from lecherous
eye, with the aid of the discarded
apparel of their more fortunate
brothers and sisters, would have to
find themselves caves where the car
nal gaze of man could not follow
them.
AND what would the "dump rats"
"A of Lansing, Michigan, think
granting that they have such habit
should they read the following
gem from the speech of H. Hoover
a Palo Alto: "Our workers with their
average weekly wages, can today,
buy two or often-times three times
more bread and butter than any
wage Garner in Europe" H. l..
Mencken called Hoover "fat Cool
idge." Let it stand. Hoover can
swallow more capitalist dirt than his
namesake the vacuum cleaner.
