American Legion and Veterans OF
Foreign Wars

employers in putting over wholesale discharges
of workers and widespread wage cuts, is urging
to investigate
The same Legion racketeers who consistently
refused to consider unemployment problems
under the hypocritical pretense that labor prob
lens do not come within the scope Of their &C
tivities all of a sudden feel themselves inspired
thy a hint from the capitalsts) to spit out
something about an unemployment problem be-
cause inaction would bring dire results"
What are these "dire results" to Hoover, the
Legion ct al? Is it the extreme restitution
and hunger of the worker ex-servicemen? Oh!
No! This does not hurt them, is not of any
concern to a boss, to the capitalist class! 1t is
the fear that the starving ex-servicemen are
turning Red"
The Legion and Veterans Of Foreign Wars did
not fail to see the growing misery OF the I'M
employed 1t is not case of their being ig-
norant of conditions. The Legion leaders knew
the misery of the workers but they followed
the policy of the capitalists faithfully The first
was policy of black jacks clubs and bullets
against the workers. The Legion constituted it
self as an auxiliary of the capitalist police and
aided in the savage clubbing and brutal attacks
upon the unemployed. Now that the policy OF
the capitalists has been amended, now that the
policy lncluQeS hypocrisy anu ueCeIG, pre-
tended solicitude for the unemployed, so now do
the fascist leaders of the Legion and Veterans
of Foreign Wars suddenly find it necessary to
come out with hypocritical words of pretense
expressing their anxiety about unemployment
and the dire results" that may flow therefrom.
This fascist maneuver is designed to stem the
rising tide of spontaneous revolt among the
growing army of unemployed veterans In sheer
desperation, growing out of their agonized
existence, the rank and file are beginning to
see the treachery of their miseaders, who have
sold out their former buddies into the hands Of
blood-suckng exploiters. The worker ex-service-
men are losing the illusion of a national rela-
tionship with the enemies-the bosses The
workers class consciousness is beginning to
dawn upon them
The worker vets must join the organization OF
their class and fight with the rest Of the work
ing class, the common enemy-the capitalist
class.
The Workers EX-Servicemen's League is a
working mans organization. They fight for the
other half of the stolen bonus, for unemploy-
ment insurance, instead Of degrading charity
The W. E. S. L., alongside with other workers
organizations, fights against wage cuts, agains
capitalist war and the capitalist system of wage
slavery-for the advancement of the working
class to political power.

Remember the Prisoners!

The International Labor Defense can only be an
instrument for carrying through labor's reply
The Eastern Kentucky coal miners are fighting
the same great corporations Omitted States Steel
Commonwealth Edison, Peabody CoaD that are
seeking to smash the standard Of living of labor
everywhere.
The same struggle rapidly develops in Western
PENNSYLVANIA Eastern Ohio and West Virginia,
where the number of arrests and prosecutions
grow. increasing the responsibilities of labors
defense organization.
1t must also be remembered that one phase Of
the SCottsboro Campaign is the care OF the pris-
oners and their families
Last year 1880, the International Labor De-
tense. nationally and through its district and
local organizations took care of 1000 arrested
workers most of these, of course remaining IN
tail for very short periods.
Let No One Be Forgotten
We cannot forget single prisoner for single
dsv The women and children of the prisoners
must not be held in need. The international
Labor Defense calls upon you to do either one
or all of the following:
l. Send an immediate contribution to the
Prisoners and Prisoners Dependents Relief
Fund, International Labor Defense, 80 East 18th
Street New York City.
?. Become a Prisoners Relief Fund Sustainer
by pledging yourself to send IN regular amount
monthly The International Labor Defense
makes an effort to send $500 monthly to every
prisoner and $4,000 to dependent families
Literature, Food Clothes
Z Send in whatever books, magazines. or
other literature that you can spare and this will
be divided among the prisoners,
4. Send in clothes, food or other relief do
the above address, and this will be forwarded
to the prisoners families If you would rather
have a member of the LID. call at your home
write and we will have someone from district
or local organization of the LID. call at your
home.
This Is not charity. This is proletarian relief
to help maintain intact one of the most I'M
portant fronts in the working class. Support
the class war prisoners and their families.

Try This on Your Bed Springs

Commissioner Mulrooneys gentle and cour-
teous cops" have been at it again. In fact they
never stopped it.
This time, the World-Telegram of last Friday
tells the story. Some lad, 20 years old, was ar
rested under suspicion of being one of four BAN
dts who killed Elmhurst grocer. His name is
Michael Alexa. and some time after he was
rested the cops produced confession"
But the boy, when brought up for arraignment
before County Judge Frank Abel began to strip
off his coat and shirt, and showed his body beat
en- black and blue In great blotches.
'Thats why signed that confesson" he de-
clared.
The judge questioned the detectives, and the
World-Telegram gives what they said as fol-
lows:
Detectives said he had resorted to the old
trick of removing the mattress from his cell and
sleeping on the springs, thus causing the marks .
Now that is about the best one we heard since
last August when Police Inspector Day, after
laying in ambush for the workers on Union So.
and attacking them with blackjacks on 18th St,
explained that the workers Threw themselves
violently to the pavement, In such way to
obtain bruises they lay to the police
