Hines Makes Appeal.
Gen. Frank r. Hines. administrator
of veterans affairs, speaking from
WMAL, not only explained the situa-
ton, but appealed to veterans to defer
making loans until forced to do so.
while I have no intention or wish"
said Gen. Hines, Ito tell veterans what
they should or should not do, as they
alone can best measure their needs, it
Is important that they realize before
taking advantage of the extended loan
privileges that by so doing they Jeop-
ardize the protection the intact bonus
certificate affords their wives and chill
dren in the event of the veterans own
death, which would bridge the gap be-
tween the husbands or fathers death
and that time when the wives and chill
dren will have adjusted themselves to
their new circumstances. ],
The bonus certificate" explained
Gen. Hines, 'is a paid-up endowment
policy on which all premiums are met
by the Government, with loan value
at any time after the second year. IL
is in the interest of the veteran to de-
fer making a loan until he is forced
to do so in order to conserve to the
greatest possible degree that protection
which his certificate affords to his
family and to himself in later years"
Priority to Needy.
Gen. Hines, however, assured his
listeners that the veterans admin1stra-
ton earnestly desires and is bending
every effort to meet requests for loans
under the new law from veterans. We
are now actually making loans under
the new law" he said,
I'm keeping with the expressed desire
of the President, which am confident
will be Endorsed by all our people, and
is, in fact, Endorsed by the veterans
service organizations, said the speaker,
ct wish to emphasize our policy to give
priority consideration to those veterans
applying for loans who are most in
need. Certification Of need by repre-
sentatiVes of the service organizations
and the American Red Cross will be
accepted as a showing of need. Vet
Grams who can defer borrowing are
urged to do so, in order that first at
tention may be given to their comrades
whose need is greater"
other radio speakers on the bonus
subject included Capt. Watson B. Miller
of the American Legion, Capt. Thomas
Kirby of the Disabled American Veter-
ans and Capt Edward Bethlehem OF
the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

Alabama bosses. A patrol wagon
which was called to intimidate the
workers, was finally used by the po-

The workers endorsed defense work

Listen to Them

unemployed workers presented de-
mands for free food, clothes, free rent
and for unemployment insurance of

workers jammed the halls of the City
Council.
Waukesha has only population Of
$1,000, but there are more than 1000
unemployed. A committee Of Is was
present to demand the floor.
Brink, from Milwaukee, spoke at
length on the unemployment situa-
ton. Although this town is a strong
hold of the American Legion and
other patriotic organizations. the
members of the City Council didn't
dare refuse the floor. The spokesman
of the unemployed, after presenting

Features for the First
Anniversary Number

May Day, 1881, marks the first
anniversary of the Young Worker,
the official organ of the Young Com
munist League, as weekly Be-
cause of the fact that the Young
Worker has actually become paper
of struggle for the working youth,
the bosses government has selected
it as one of the papers on which
to begin its campaign of terror. AS
a result the Young Worker has been
banned from second class mail. In
spite of the added difficulties of
having to send the paper through
first class mail, which adds to the
financial burden, the Young Worker
is still going strong because of the
support that the workers have given
it since the ban.
The anniversary May Day issue of
the Young Worker will be a special
16-page edition, sparkling with in
teresting articles of the life of the
working youth. Every article in this
issue will be a feature article, every
picture and drawing will be original
and taken especially to make this the
best issue the Young Worker has
ever put out. William Chopper, world
famous artist, writes for us May Day
