LEGION HEAD
HITS AT VETS

NEW YORK. Completely ignor-
ing the fact that the last convention
of the American Legion voted for
payment of the Bonus and that the
Roosevelt administration was elected
on a payment program, Louis A.
johnson, national commander of the
Legion, spoke at the Biltmore Hotel,
Saturday night and called for more
cuts of veterans and dependents
benefits and condemned the second
Bonus March.
The LIE gion commander didn't
speak about the Bonus except by in
ferred attacks on any Bonus legisla-
ton. He stated that the march on
Washington is Communist march. 4"
This was the tactics of last years
misleaders who constantly raised the
issue Of Reds to divert the fight for
the bonus into fight between vet
groups This Same betrayal tactic is
being used by Johnson again this
year.
Leadership Is Of Rank and File.
The March on the capital is called
by the Veterans National Liaison
Committee, representing the B.EF.
Inc, Khaki Shirts, B E. F. Rank
end File Inc, representative mem
bars of the Legion, VIEW. and D.A.V.
and the Workers Ex-Seryicemen's
League and unattached veterans in
Hoovervilles throughout the country.
1t has announced that it would give
way to popularity elected leadership
two days after the marchers converge
on Washington.
Jol1nson accepted the economy pro-
eram of Roosevelt and called upon
The Legion TO "resist the march to
tl1e utr1ost7 This call for violent ac-
ton is MADE by him when he knows
that hundreds Of Legion members are
engaged in the planning of the
march.
Serving the interests OF the admin
ictration, he called for more cuts in
the pay of federal employees, thus
trying to arouse an anti-veteran SEN
timent among these workers.
His main appeal was to reduce
discomfort to a minimum" among the
veterans. He advocated a uniform
regulation and classification Of dis
ability provisions for all wars" A
worker in the next war will have full
knowledge beforehand of just how
many pennies the loss Of limb, etc.,
viii bring him in compensation.
Attack State and City Aid.
Johnson made a sweeping attack
upon what miserable aid veterans and
dependents get from state and local
governments. calling for stopping Of
this form Of benefit and waiting for
the federal government to take it
ever. This form OF relief was OBJ
tanned only by the struggle of vet
ersng and johnson wants to remove
the fight Tor veterans aid as do
CHER misleaders in the struggle
Tor jobless relief to washington,
thereby hslpilG tie administration in
its iogoed Iabor and ccoacmy pro-
gram.

unions and of the T.U.U.C. are eX-
pected to be present at the confer
ence.
The delegation will put forward the
demands OF the employed and unem-
ployed workers for higher wages and
higher relief to meet higher living
costs caused by initiation, for a 30
hour week with no reduction in pay,
for a public works program which
will include the erection of homes,
hospitals and Fairgrounds for the
working class and the destruction Of
sluns, and the payment Of full union
wages to the workers employed on
thesce projects The delegation will
cell for the abolition of forced labor,
the payment of full union wages to
the workers employed in the federal
forced labor camps at present and a
system Of federal unemployment in
surarce and adequate relief at the
expense of the bosses and the gov
eminent.
After a fanfare of publicity on the
, 30-hour bill, the Roosevelt admins
tration has decided to shelve the stag
ger measure during this session Of
Congress The publicity attendant on
the hi was the typical Roosevelt
demagogy. designed to deceive masses
of employed and unemployed work
ers that the unemployment situation
would be relieved" In ordering the
bill muffed, Roosevelt declared that
he is for the 30-hour stagger bill (to
divide work and cut wages in prin-
ciple but that il must be revised to
be made more flexible. Hearings are

THAT the next war declaration shall
apply to only half Of the United
States, that we shall march only half
as far and half as fast, fight only half
as hard, perform half as much kit
chen police, eat only half as much

only half as much, and that the
enemy shall shoot US with only half
as many bullets and kill us half as
dead as other American soldiers from
continental United States"
What the vets of Puerto Rico for
got to add was that in the next war
when the soldiers get the guns, they
should use them for the benefit of
the working class. Instead of fight
ing half as much, we worker veterans
should fight as much as possible, but
for different purpose; to abolish
capitalism, the cause OF all wars.

1t was noted today that the United
Press Index of 80 cash commodity
prices reached a new high for the
year OF 1888 as against 1913 month
ago.

Reports from San Francisco are
that sugar, flour. dried beans and
almost all grades of meats have adj
vanced in price.
Chicago reports advances in prices
for flour, with meats not yet show
ing any appreciate advance.
st. Louis reports sharply higher
prices as compared with a month ago.
Butter is 4 cents a pound higher,
coffee 2 cents pound higher eggs
4 cents a dozen higher. Sugar ad-
vanced IS per cent, canned toma-
toes up IS per cent, dried beans up

New York grocers have reported

Retail merchants openly expressed
their belief that in few weeks fur
ther advances in retail prices will oc-
cur. They predict that the spectacu-
lar rise in wholesale prices of sugar
and coffee will soon be reflected in
retail prices. Rising cotton and wool
prices are already beginning to cause
higher prices for clothing.
Higher Rents.
Leading real estate brokerage Of
fices report that no long-term leases
are being signed because landlords
expect rising rents. These offices

More Than Bonus Demands
The new march now started to

numbers than were involved in the
first bonus march, and includes
not only veterans of the world war
