Waters Is so raw that even his own
original Oregon group kicked him out
and left Anacostia.
One Foulkrod, at first played ball
with Waters. He was made the legis-
lative representative of the B. E. F.
Then he got hankering to, be COM
mander, with al its rich spells, and
broke with Waters. He has now come
out in favor of Franklin D Roosevelt,
urging the men to go home at once
and campaign for the Democratic
Party. What the men think of the
Democratic Party as well as the Re-
publicans was shown when they booed
Foulkrod off the capitol grounds last
week.
Robertson to the Fore.
The government saw that Foulkrod
was through, and that Waters influ-
ence had gone away down. They
must now use new tactics, they fig
ured.
They brought in Roy w. Robert
son, from California Robertson had
started out from the coast with 1000
or so vets. 5000 of these quit him
and went on ahead. Why? Because
they charged that Robertson had
collected lots of money for the vets
but had sent it home to his own bank
account.
But when Robertson arrived in
Washington, he suddenly started to
use extreme left languae. The papers
played him up as the rebel leader of
the B. E. F." He announced that his
contingent would not go to Anacostia,
but would camp on the Capitol
grounds. He would have democracy
in his outfit. And the men began to
fall for this. Men deserted Anacostia
and Joined the Robertson group on
the Capitol grounds. Glassford was
cleverly building up Robertson to
take the place of Waters.
But the men began to notice that
Robertson was, as Waters had done
before, goin around arm-in-arm with
General Glassford. Robertson's "de-
mocracy' was exemplified in the fact
that he submitted petition after petit
ton to Congress-, but like Waters,
"A ot,lv al II
veterans about it. Moreover, Robert
son said that he would send the men
home when Congress adjourned. Any
one who tells the men to go home is
as popular with these determined vets
as louise is with a dog. And hence
Glassford hasn't succeeded in work
ing Robertson in as "commander-in-
chief"
Glassford deserves few words. He
Is the cleverest police official, the
slickest agent of the capitalist have
ever seen. He always uses kid-gloves
He takes off his shirt and sleeps with
the vets on the capitol grounds. He
goes up to a vet and says I'll bet
you I'm more handsome than YOU
(the vet told him, 1--WE didn't come
here for beauty contest, we came
here for the bonus.'). Curtis orders
cut the marines, Glassford makes a
grandstand play and orders them re-
moved from the capitol.
Glassford was really speaking every
time Waters made statement. And
Robertson now speaks when and what
Glassford wants him to.
Doak Carter is enc of Waters right

tective man. The men are generally

BIG STRIKE WAVE
LOOMS in MEXICO
Many Workers Jailed
In Terror Drive

Mexico City dispatches report the
possibility of general strike thru
out Mexico in protest against the
vicious strike breaking activities Of
the Wall Street puppet Mexican gov
eminent.
The strikes of the Metal SmeltSlg
Workers in Monterey, the street car
men in Mexico City, and the en-
ployes of the Southern Pacific Rail
road are continuing effective in spite
Of the most savage terror carried out
by the government against t he
strikers.
The revolutionary trade union CEN
ter of Mexico, the Confederation Sim
dical Unitaria dc Mexico, sent an
appeal to all workers organizations
of the continent, especially the trade
unions in the United States, for pro-
test actions against the latest wave
CT repression which the government
of Mexico has unleashed against the
trade unions.
Assaults Against Unions
Facing rising wave of strikes eff
fecting basic industries such as the
metal smelling strike in Monterey
and strikes of the transport workers
the government has, within the past
month carried out assaults against
trade unions in various parts of the
country These attacks have been
aided by the lackeys of Yonkee i'm
per.alism in Mexico, the officials OF
the Confederation Regional Obrera
Mexicana.
Many jailed
Workers have been arrested and
rounded up in the military prison OF
Santiago Later they were transferred
to the Islam dof Marias, the Devils
Island of Mexico. The following
workers are now in this hell hole:
Evelio Vadillo, district leader of the
C.S.U.M.; Miguel Valasco, national
organizational secretary of the C.S
UNI; Guillermo Palacios, recently
deported from the United States, and
16 other militant workers.
All workers organizations are urged
to send kilograms of protest to the
President OF Mexico, Ortiz Rubio

order to betray the war veterans.
The government now realizes that
the action of over 10000 war vet
Grams from every corner of the Uni
ted States has great revolutionary po-
tentialities.
The first tendency of the capitalist
government was to crush the bonus
marchers by force. Thus, on the trek
across the country by the veterans,
police were called out and hard
fought fights were fought by the
worker veterans.
The veterans showed clearly that
they were not going to allow armed
force to over-awe them. When they
reached Washington they promptly
took possession Of vacant houses, lots,
ETC. and dug into the billets they con-
structed.
There is no doubt that the govern
ment had planned to greet the vet
Grams arrival in Washington with
severe repression. But the veterans
militancy on the way had great
weight. And besides the government
was not so sure that it could trust
its own marines and soldiers to fire
on the veterans.
So clever methods had to be used
Waters Becomes Commander.
A fascist named Walter w. Waters,
an ex-lumber boss of oregon, was
Immediately built up by the govern
ment to h-come ''commander-in-
chief" of the Bonus Expeditionary
Army.
Under his leadership the veterans
were herded into the mud flats of
Anacostia, separated from Washing
ton proper by bridge over the Po-
| tomac.
Terror in Anacostia.
The plan was to have Waters, un-
der direction of General Gassford,
Washington Police Chief, set up a
strict military dictatorship in Ana
costa, with adjutants, -de-camps,
M. P.'s etc. The idea was that Wat
ers was to keep the men lying down
in Anacostia far away from the Cap
itol building.
If man opened his mouth to COM
plain about the lack of food, about
the terror, or about anything, he is
set upon by the M. P.'s and beaten up.
| Waters, to begin with, deserted his
Oregon men on tn, way across the
country. He left them at Caseyvi, lie
Ill, and went ahead by bus. This
made the Oregon bunch sore as hell
Every few days Waters flies away
from Anacostia by plane Ito collect
money and comes back saying he
has only collected few dollars. The
men are saying that he's making a
good racket ont of the B.E.F.
Waters and Father Cox.
Waters is undoubtedly aspiring for
a political career. He announced
last week in Pittsburgh that he had
been promised enough money to keep
the men in Anacostia indefinitely"
This probably means that he has
lined up with Father Cox. 1t is sig
nificant that this fascist used the
same words as Cox did in denying
that he was for Hitler or Mussolini.
1t seems sure that Waters will try,
now that Congress has adjourned, to
keep only small nucleus of his own
henchmen in Anacostia and there
establish around himself fascist
group. 1t is quite possible that he
will try TO rally the vets around Cox
in the latter's st. Louis convention,
a1d he ray even run on presiden-
,.al tickct With Cox.

Pho funds, so I decided to go north
again, possibly to South Carolina
where had once worked. I walked
about 20 miles, and I got tired Of
walking, so when freight train Of
the Atlantic Coastline came along ]
jumped on, got into a box car ano
fell asleep
When I woke up I heard a voice
yell, Get out of there or I'll shoot,
so got out, and there were two
drunken deputy sheriffs. They put
me into an old Jail, near Homer
vile, Ca, and about a day or two
later the sheriff appeared with a
big car and took me to the county
Jail, which was filthy, and after five
days I came before the judge, and he
sentenced fne to $40 fine or two
months on the chain gang. I had
only 50 so I went to the chain gang
about three miles from the village
of bonneville.
Kept in Cages
On my arrival there, shackles and
chains were put on my feet. We were
put into prison cars like in circus
where they keep the wild animals
but we had much less freedom than
the animals. There were benches
one on top of the other in the cages
and so narrow and close together that
if I wanted to turn around had to
call the guard, and no one was per-
mitted to make any noise.
In the mornirg we had to get ur
before daylight cnd I wanted to wash
bit, but the guard hollers, I hao
to eat breakfast and there was nc
time to wash. I sat down to eat
but he holers. "On the truck, on the
chain" We had to go out about 1C
miles to work. We the prisoners were
all chained together. We had two
guards on the truck, and two blood
hounds, and the Negroes who were
with me on the chain gang seemed
to be very frightened.
Worked in Swamps
The place where we worked was
mostly in swamps. We never could
straighten out our backs. If mar
did not keep up fast enough he was
whipped. The first day my hands
were full of blisters, and yet work
ed hard all my life, but I never
worked like that. At night we came
back to the camp, and it was the
same thing every day, every day
working on the road or building
bridges.
Several times broke down on the
road, I was not able to stand up any
more. My chest panied me, my lungs
were sore, but they never listened to
any complaints. Instead, they threat
ened to whip me, but 7 was so des-
perate that I did not cared whether
they whipped me or not. 1 told them
to go ahead and whip me, but they
were going to pay for it, and ther
they did not threaten me any more.
About two weeks before my time
was up We were repairing bridge
and there were all kinds of old planks
lying around nails three to foul
inches long sticking up. I stepped or
one nail accidentally, and it went
right through my foot because my
shoes were wet, and yet 1 had tc
work all day with the wound in my
foot. When I got back to camp that
night, I could hardly take the shoe
off, and next day a doctor put some
salve on and that was all.
In few days they discharged me
with the sore boot They let me &c
without cent, and where could ]
go without being arrested, but kept
on walking all night back to Way
cross, Ga.

in the South, but this is merely ar
