the populace is again hopeful"
Retired public citizen Waters. now
the Cincinnatus OF Omaha, comes
even more out into the open when
he writes on the veterans bonus
Hear what he says:
"The Presidents economy meas
ure, i'm which he Topped off some
500 million dollars from veteran
benefits, speaks volumes for his
courage. Due to my leadership of
the bonus army of last summer,
many people doubtless assume that
am highly resentful Of this par
ticular legislation. The fact is that
have consistently advocated this
very thing for some time"
Self-exposure could go no further
could be no more brazen than this.
Inciting to Violence
Not content with attacking what he
calls the abuses of veteran privileges
and the payment of huge sums" to
them, Waters is also interested in
sabotaging any future actions of the
veterans to secure their rights, and in
giving Roosevelt advance support for
further attacks, not only against the
veterans, but against other sections
OF the toilers of the United States.
Waters writes: THE point of these
remarks on veterans affairs is merely
to emphasize the fact that if our
President displays the same brand Of
courage in dealing with all organized

Che really means the bankers and big
businessmen need have no qualms
whatever as to the ultimate economic
recovery Of the nation"
Backs Forced Labor
On the subject of the forced labor
camps, Waters is on the way to be-
coming quite radical. He thinks that
The payment of a starvation wage Of
one dollar day may" be mistake
Though he's not sure), but he does
think that the labor camps will be OF
unreasonable benefit" to those i'm
prisoned within them.
In what Waters says about the new
bonus march of the veterans, he is
very instructive, since he stupidity
b-urts out what is In the minds of
most Of the members Of the class with
which Waters belongs. The last
march, he says, was "a safety valve
for dissatisfaction" This is certainly
what Waters tried his damndest to
make it.
Safety valves to ease the pressure
Of mass discomfort and rising mill
fancy on the capitalist system, these
are what the American ruling class
urgently needs right now. Waters
Job on the bonus march was to keep
the safety valve "ssfe."

: Waters, in this article, goes into an
absolutely hysterical frenzy about the
great leader Roosevelt; no praise is
too far-fetched for the New Moses
who is to lead the people out OF the
wilderness into the promised land.

Waters has certainly done a good
job in this article, by coming out in
his real colors in a way that every
body can understand. His actions
last year very clearly showed him up
as a sabotager of the veterans strug-
giles, but his role was made difficult
to see clearly by the cloud of dema-
sogic veribage In which he enveloped
himself.
Now no possible doubts can remain,
and the veterans, with his example
in their minds, will now be better
able to see who are their real friends
and who their enemies.

Youth Faces 20 Years
on Citizenship Charge

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 22.-An
attempt to drive the Young Commu-
mist League underground, at the
same time extending the terror
against foreign born workers, is I'M
der way in the trial here of B. G.
(Jack) Thomas, on charges of "fal-
sification"
The penalty which Frances Perkins
Department of Labor is trying to OBJ
tain, to set as a precedent in the
case, is revocation of citizenship pa
pers, twenty years imprisonment, and
eventual deportation.
The charges, OH four counts, is
that Thomas, in obtaining naturali-
zation papers in 1927, falsely swore
that he was not a disbeliever in or
opposed to organized government
and that he did not belong to any
organization which teaches or advo-
Gates the overthrow of existing civil
government in this country and that
he was attached to the principles of
the constitution of the United States.
1t is charged that he was at the
time of his application for citizenship
a member of the Young Workers
League, now the Young Communist
League.
Thomas. an unemployed worker
was arrested late in April for NOV
ing his furniture into a vacant apart
ment, but this charge was dropped in
favor Of the federal one as the De-
partment seized the opportunity tc
try to make the Y.CL. illegal in the

no extra help is put on. The men
are supposed to work only from Z
am. TO p. m. Some men, for in

times they only have time for a

On Saturdays they are supposed
to work only until noon, but they
are forced many times to work till

A striking contrast is found between
the dividends paid to stockholders of
the Westinghouse Electric g. Manu-
featuring Co. and the wages offered to
workers. In 1882 the Westinghouse
Co. paid s2,542,089 in dividends, and
in 1881 paid nearly s7O00,O0o On
January /, 1888 the company's sur
plus stood at the huge amount of
$79f050,32 This can be used for the
future payment of dividends by the
company.
According to the Moody Investment
Service there were 49,985 employees in
this company in 1929. The number
fell to 23,756 in 1882. This represented
decline of 5249 per cent. During the

tives of nearly hundred organi-
cations, to support the fight of the
I. L. D. for the Scottsboro boys,
and called for the sending of all
money collected by outside organ
izations for Scottsboro to the Action

Funds are urgently needed to carry
on the defense of the Scottsboro
boys, the I. l.. D. pointed out, and
should be sent either directly to the

to the National Scottsboro Action
Committee, 119 w. 135th Street, both
