The Fighting
Vets
BY H. E. BRIGGS
A Diplomats Reward

Pelham D. Glassford, diletante art
ist, diplomat, society idol and man
about Washington is a prospective
candidate for Police Chief of New
York. Major LaGuardia likes Gen.
erals. He thought GlaSsford handled
the Bonus Army with tact and SYM
pathy, especially the murder by
Glassford's Police of Hushka and
Carlson. Such diplomacy must be
rewarded. What dye say, Buddy?
All you fellows on the Bonus March
should have vote in the matter.
All those in favor of GENERAL
demonstration signify by the usual
sign.
Watch Va Step, Cap.
Capt. John Foley, while on his
honeymoon in New York, fell out of
a fifth story window when walking
in his sleep. You can't blame Mae
West for this. 1t seems the Captain
is pill-roller attached to the Civil
ian Conservation Corps Camp at
Montpelier, vt. This is a veterans
forced labor camp" where you work
for $500 month and your family
gets $500 instead of the $4,000 paid
by the Home Relief. This is what is
known as a relief measure. But every
thing is not Rosie" We have inside
information about several demonstra-
lions by the vets and boys in these
G. G. camps, protesting against the
bad food, back breaking work and
lack of medical attention. Maybe
Capt. Foley was worrying about these
protests. Now about that fractured
leg Captain, just take one OF those
@. G. pills; the kind you give the
boys in the Forced Labor Camps and
everything will be alright.
No Friend Of Ours
We don't like to advertise all these
generals, captains, and majors in the
news this week, but it is our duty
to comment on the doings of these
parasites, as sort of warning ex-
ample. Imagine these parasites call
ing us friends, especially Major Won
He just arrived from
the land of the Brown Brutes" to be
leader of the American and Canadian
Steel Helmets. He will reside in
Bronxville. We hear the residents,
the veterans have arranged
to greet him at reveille and retreat
with their famous cheer. When in
terviewed by reporters, the Major
said, IT will spend my time riding
to hounds, hunting, etc." Okay with
us, Major. The WES.L. would be
delighted to take you and all Fa-
scists like you for ride.
Us Veterans
The best attempt at q veterans
to reach us comes out of
lie rank and file committee in Pitts
burgh. The editor is Comrade Car
reno. The makeup is fairly good,
but the contents show the defects of
a one-man Job. Draw in the Veter-
ans, get correspondence, don't depend
on rehashing old material too much.
One of the best pieces is the review
of the Local F~ht for the State bonus.
The paper points out that the local,
Just as the natio-,al hackers of the
National Economy League are mil
lionaireS, bankers and big business
men. Despite these enemies and their
fight against the State Bonus, word
comes to us that 1t was carried
through. Local Pennsylvania veter-
ans can thank themselves and their
rank and file committees for gaining
his. If this State fight was carried
out on national scale, through rank
and file organization, these enemies
who orrose State grants and the Ma
tional Bonus, relief, disability allow
ances, ETC., could be defeated.
The Pittsburgh Rank and File Com
mittees are doi'0 rood work in car
ing on where the National Conven-
ton left off. EIore power to the rank
and file. The prominent display of
the Three-P Program at the head
Of each page could be copied to good
by other vets, contemplate
ing bulletins, newspapers, etc. The
pledge to support the struggle of the
miners links the veterans in a decis-
We manner with the working class
sSruggles. 1t is not dull paper. 1t
