Old Soldiers Dying at Rate
OF "a or 80 Each
Year

AUSTIN, Jan. 29-F)- Inmates
OF the State Confederate Veterans
Home are dying off e. the rate OF
rs or 80 q year. Rep. Walter Acker
ST.. OF Houston, himself q veteran
of the Lost Cause, told his fellow
legislators IN the House Of Rep
~resentatives the her day.
He predicted that those or Us
who are around 85" will not be here
another five year unless there IS
q wonderful accident"
He was pleading with the legiS-
iature rot TO take up further con-
sideration OF the veterans pension
law, which. was amended at a re-
cent session, complicated its opera
ton to the extent some OF the
veterans widows did mot receive
any pension money during one
quarter last year. He said the pre-
sent law would work itself out"
Judge Acker said also that, In
his opinion, there were many abuses
OF the pension law at the hands Of
the former -earerS OF the gray.
Il know OF cases where veterans
sold their land and other property
and divided the money among their
relatives In order to qualify as
paupers In order to receive O pen
sion," he said.
A bill written by Senator Thomas
B. Love OF Dallas would eliminate
from the present law the "exigency
requirement." which neceSSitates
a veteran proving he has no means
OF support before being entitled to
receive a pension.

Fascist Schemes of Ohio Socialists

which has been practiced here in the last
year. The Citizens League an organization
of petty bourgeois lawyers and politicians sup
ported j. Willard for city council at the last
elections for city council.
But more clear expression came from their
nominee for governor, Joseph W. Shartz,
pounding his open fascist theory of govern
ment in which the interests who want favors
from the government should have direct repre-
sentation. Applying this to Cleveland he
pointed out that:
THE members of the city council would
he chosen half by your Chamber of Com
merce and your Van Sweringens and the
other half by the Federation of Labor"
As if the Federation represented the inter-
ests of the working class! What is this if
not the fascist syndicates as those set up by
Mussolini?
Not word mentioned in the platform about
the present economic crisis and its effects
upon the working class. Not word men
toned about the war danger and war prepara-
tons against the Soviet Union. This is no ac-
cident The socialist party openly bidding It's
help to save the shaky position of capitalism,
cannot but continue the policy of the capitalist
class, considering itself more effective tool
to fool the workers
March 9th Demonstrations Show Attitude of
Workers.
There is no doubt that the demonstrations
held on March 9th in this state, under the
leadership of the Communist Party of unem-
ployed and employed workers in which around
$4,000 workers participated and the mlitan-
cy displayed by the workers in the demon
strations struck fear in the hearts of the rul-
ing class. They realize that in the struggle
of the millions of workers for Work or Wages
they strike at the very roots Of capitalism.
The capitalist class realized that all of
Hoover's prophecies about turning the cor
ner" is mere empty talk They themselves are
forced to admit that in the month of Febru-
airy, which usually shows seasonal increase
in production, employment and production
have been on the decline. They know that
March 9th was not the end but the beginning
of sharper struggles of the workers against
capitalism.
The capitalist class and with them the social
fascists know that democratic illusions are
loosing ground among the masses of workers.
Therefore these preparations for open fascism
by both. But the workers show more clearly
than ever before that they cannot be fooled
any more neither by their open enemies, the
capitalist class, nor by their capitalist tools,
the socialist party. Under the leadership of
the Communist Party, the workers will march
to victory fighting both.
