BY II. E. BRIGGS

This column fights for the 3-poin
program-first, last and always. Her
it is in case you have forgotten it.

Salt Lake City.
Post No. 6 W.E.S,L. sends along the
news that they are supporting tn,
striking miners. Why? Because many
of the miners are vets. Simple ISM
1t? This is what is known as 9
United Front. And it gets results
Ask those who have joined.
Pittsburgh, Pa.
Thirty-five delegates are to be
sent by the veterans of Pittsburgh
to the Anti-War Conference. 1t is
expected that delegated veterans
from all over the country will come
in full uniform. What a sight that
will make. Come on buddy get be-
hind the Anti-War Conference.
Help stop another world slaughter.
Even if you are too old, remember
your kid brother isn't. Do you
want him to go through another
blood bath? Then support the Anti
War Conference and let the world
know it by wearing your tin hat.
st. Paul is also sending delegates.
New York City.
A new speakers bureau has beer
and New Workers will soon
get the lowdown on who the veter-
ans are supporting in the coming
election. AS a hint drop over to
Union Square and listen to Comrade
Upper of Post No. some evening
If he doesn't convince you I'll eat
my mess kit in Macys window.
Even in China.
The gunboat Sacramento is at II
again. This time against the Chinese
Soviets. 1t will be remembered that
this Imperialist war dog operated in
with the Allies in 1915
in the White Sea to behead the
young Russian Soviet government
then struggling against the combined
armies and navies of the Capitalist
world The Sacramento came home
without accomplishing its mission
We predict that the combined Capt.
talist forces will meet the same re-
buff in China and that eventually
the Chinese workers and soldiers will
extend their present Soviet to in
clude all China.
Spanish War Vet on
Communist Ticket
Charles Mclaughlin, native son
of Glen Cove, L. I. will run for Mayor
on the Communist Party ticket this
fall. He is Sd years old. Old enough
to know better as one of his friends
Yes, he's been through
the mill and is convinced that the
Communist Party is the only party
fully representing the workers ano
fighting honestly for their needs. The
Communist Party is the only po1itica'
party supporting the ex-servicemen's
demands for the Bonus, by the way
Another Vet on G. P. Ballot
Along with this comes the news
that Muro LaForgia world war vel
also of Glen Cove, L. I. is running
for assemblyman of the second dis
trict, Nassau County.
Teof1l Meller, a wounded World
War vet is running for the 57th AL
dermanic district of Richmond Hill
Queens. His compensation of $26. q
month was reduced to $3.50 by
"Rosies" new dirty Deal. He says
Il back the 3-point program 100 per
cent"
Still Another
Maurice Berto, World War vet,
aviator and member of the Intel
ligence Department is on the Com
munist ballot for Assemblyman of
East Islip. All these men support
the 3-point program and pledge
themselves to fight for the workers
and veterans interests. No ward
healers here. These are men who
have been thru battle. They did not
stand on the curbstone cheering
somebody else and staying home
reaped rich profits.
