SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 16.-In
spite of the efforts of stool pigeons
and racketeers to mislead the Vet
Grams in the city and divert them
from militant struggle for the bonus
and for unemployment insurance, a
large number of vets joined the Feb.
10 demonstration.
The racketeerS held a parade and
open air meeting and their speak
ers were limited to their own gang.
The writer, a war veteran, tried to
speak at one of their meetings and
they tried to pull ME off the stand.
Failing in this, they called in their
police allies to bust up the meeting
rather than let the vets hear mes
sage of class solidarity.
One of their speakers stated that
he would lay down his life for the
bonus. He used all kinds of revolu-
tionary phrases, making an emotional
plea to the crowd to help them out
in their fight. The crowd responded
and they collected money for the
cause. Business men contributed
clothing and money and the police
protected them from class conscious
speakers who tried to expose them to
the veterans and their sympathizers.
Now, when they get to Washington
do they expect to get police protec-
ton? And if they are refused how
are they going to fight for the bonus
or anything else? If they have to
have police protection in their home
town and have favors from such re-
dictionary organizations as the 'IWW
and the Red CROSSE And when they
refuse to put up fight right here

surance to keep the business on a
sound financial basis, and so that
the young parasites Of this depart
ment store could continue with the
store, he shot himself. This is a
peculiar way for capitalist to save
his accumulated wealth and power.
Fellow-workers of Sioux City, you
can all see that the bosses and the
capitalists are going rapidly on the
down grade. They won't all shoot
themselves. They will try to lay the
burden Of the economic crisis on the
shoulders of the working class.
The workers of Sioux City should
rally around the Communist Party to
fight the exploiters. Capitalism
won't give up without a fight.

HINTON GREETS
OCEAN TRIP AID
WHILE IN CITY
T. w. Marshall Manned
While Serving Under
Famous Lieutenant.
BY CARLOS LANE

New trails never are blazed alone
with swashbuckling glory; human
blood and bones, anguish and sweat
pave them until they are broad ard
smooth.
In Indianapolis this weekend a
man who has swept like 8 comet
through skies since aviation's early
days, with adventure after adven-
ture building his wreath of laurels,
greeted another early bird, who
served his craft humbly and paid
with pain and blood the price Of
pioneering.
One of the crew that made ready
the NC-4 for the first trans Atlantic
fight back In 1919, is an Indian
apolis man, T. w. Marshall, 922
Belle Vieu place. More than that,
he is one of the sacrifices that
progress took when man set out to
conquer the skies, and it was while
serving under Lieutenant Walter
Hinton, commander of the NC-4
that his disaster befell him.
Consequently, when Lieutenant
Hinton came to Indianapolis as the
guest of the Exchange Club it was
inevitable that there should have
been reunion. Lieutenant Hintor
invited Marshall to visit him at hi,
hotel, and here's the way that the
famous hier tells of Marshall's acct
ident, one not uncommon in avia-
ton, but a mishap that rarely
spares its victims.

Nine hundred pints of bonded liquor
