Law on Veteran Relief
Ignored, Ex- Service
men Will Demonstrate

NEW YORK .--Continua ignored
by the relief department, the New
York State relief laws pertaining to
veterans relief states that no ex-
soldier shall be pauperized. Yet Mr..
Kelly, of the Relief Department,
states that he doesn't interpret the
law as it is written. Section lit and
119 specifically state that cash relief
be given to veterans, b ut this is de-
liberately overlooked.
At meeting of the executive COM
mittee o the Workers Ex-Service-
mems League, March I, it was de-
cided to call meeting OF all post
executives to meet jointly with the
city committee tonight, March 8, at
70 East Tenth Street, at pm. The
purpose Of the meeting is to COM
plete plans for a huge veterans relief
demonstration on March Gath. The
demonstration will be preceded by a
public hearing on March %.

egates.
Defy Misleaders.
The A. F. OF L. and S. p. leader
ship made great efforts to prevent
the delegates from their organiza-
tons from attending, threatening ex-
pulsion. The rank and file, in many
cases, def1ed these threats and at
tended.
The conference adopted the fol-
lowing demands: $50, 100000 imnie-
date cash relief for the upemploy-
ed, with no forced labor; $4,000
900 cash relief for the toiling farm

dred Madison workers. A mass meet
ing was held on the capitol steps
while the committee Of 80 proceeded
to the senate chamber. To the de-
mands Of the workers and farmers
committee for immediate action, the
senate committee gave evasive re-
plies and pleaded that they be given
time ito consider. The delegates
declared they would come back with
$4,000 workers and farmers If the
mittee of Action chosen to carry out
The statewide United Front Com
demands were not granted.
the program of the conference is
composed of one delegate from each
organization and represents every

SPY WHO BURNT REICHSTAG
MEMBER OF HITLER PARTY
PRESS IN LONDON
PUBLISHES PROOF.
Nazi Provocation Is.
Exposed

LONDON, March Z (By Ra-
diogram) Further proof that
the burning of the Reichstag
building was a deliberate act
of National-Socialist provoca-
ton is contained in new data pub
lished in the London press, exposing
the personality Of the Dutch police
spy, van der Lubbe, who is charged
with starting the fire.
The Daily Telegraph reports that
members Of the Saxon parliament
made a statement to the Saxon gov
eminent that in the summer Of last
year van der Lubbe was in the small
Saxon town of zernevitz as the guest
Of the local leader of the National
Socialists. While there, he publicly
declared himself a member of the
National Socialist (FaScist) Party.
Van der Lubbes visit to zernoNtz
is noted in the local police register,
it is stated.
Prove Lubbe Is Fascist.
The Daily Herald publishes wire
from Munich that van der Lubbe' S
written statement about his mem
berShip in the National Socialist
Party has been found in the German
town of Nielsen. The Daily Herald
correspondent states that the Ba-
varian government received secret
instructions from the National So
cialist Minister Of the Interior, Frick,
to prevent at all costs the publication
in the press Of Van der Lubbe's mem
bership in the National Socialist
Party. The Bavarian police then
paid special visits to all local edi-
torial Offices and obtained their sill
ence by threats of the harshest re-
pressionS.
Nazis ProVocation Failed.
The London press also points out
the failure of the other National So
cialist provocstion-the alleged find
ing of evidence of a Communist
plot" in the cellar of the Karl Lieb-
knecht House, headquarters Of the
Communist Party of Germany. The
Daily Telegraph declares that the
statement issued by Goering, mi
mister without portfolio and director
of the Hitler terror drive, condemn
ing the horrors" planned by the
Communists was made on the basis,
not of new secret plot, but Of a
pamphlet openly published in Zurich
in 1881.
London Times Story.
| The London Times correspondent
argues that the tale about Com
munist plot" won't hold water since
its fallacy becomes apparent even
after cursory examination. For
example, says the Times, the German
Wolff TeIegraphic Agency, govern
nent agency, reported that ION the
night of Thursday armed Commu-
nists attempted to set fire 10 the pub
lie buildings in ziterwaide" When
the Times correspondent made in
quiries of the Ziterwalde police, they
stated that they knew nothing about
the mysterious Communist attempts
at arson.

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y.-Three
hundred workers took part in the

hinese Workers Correspondence

Chinese Workers Correspondence
PEIPING, China, Jan. 23.--The
prolongation of military service Of
Japanese soldiers in Manchuria has
resulted in discomfort and opposition
amongst them.
Part of the first regiment Of the
Tenth Division, consisting of about
200 men, stationed at Chatungtun. a
small town on the Chinese Eastern
Railway Harbin- Manchuli Section)
repeatedly demanded to go home,
but were refused by the high COM
mand.
At the beginning of January this
year, these soldiers mutined. The
commander sent a troop to suppress
them. At the same time, he tried to
persuade the rebels to submit. But
the heroic soldiers insisted on their
demands. The commander captured
them by force, and shot them one by
one. Before their death they defied
the white terror bravely, shouting:
Down with the Invasion of China -
Defend the Soviet I-lion!"
Down with imperialist war!"

SPEED DEMONS
MAY COMPETE

NEW YORK. Oct. 26. UP)-Blaz-
ing rivalry between Americas three
fleetest runners in the mile and
1900 meters is expected to feature
the approaching indoor track sea-
son.
Gem Cunningham of Kansas,
Bill Bonthron of Princeton and
Gene Venzke of Pennsylvania prob
ably will match strides in the major
covered meets, according to Dan
Ferris, secretary of the National
A. A. T.. who virtually completed
the schedule Of important COM
petitions last night.
In addition. this crack trio may
be running under foreign pressure
because Luigi Beccali. the senSa-
tional Italian who astounded the
sports world on Sept. 9 by beating
mighty Jack Lovelock of New Zea-
land in the 1900 meters, has been
invited to compete. Beccalli, who
won the Olympic 1900, equalled the
world outdoor record of 3 minutes
49.2 seconds against Lovelock.
If these four answer the start
er's gun in one race, Ferris be-
lieves Venzke's indoor world mark
of 4 minutes 10 seconds for the
mile or 8 minutes So 2-5 for the
1900 will be shattered. They and
Lovelock, who set a new world
record for the outdoor mile last
are the fastest men in the
world at those distances.

The poem was included in a COL

Payne was of Jewish parentage.'
Genealogical records show that
his mother was Sarah Isaacs, whose
father, converted Jew, settled on
Long Island before the revolution.
Included in Mrs. Madison's collec-
ton were original writings by Pre-
sidents Washington, jefferson, John
Quincy Adams, Madison, Monroe,
Buchanan, Lincoln, Jackson, Grant,
Garfield, Zachary Taylor, Polk,
BENJAMIN Harrison and Tyler.
