encamped and embattled veterans in
Washington.
Some day it will serve as a valu-
able source book for historians be-
cause Of its detailed collection Of
facts, and its simple, authenticated
comments.
Its greatest current value. how
ever, is in its description Of the
maneuyers OF Waters, Glassford,
Robertson, Foulkrcud and the host
Of lesser parasites and misleaders
who betrayed and confused the vet
Grams at every turn Of their des-
perate efforts to win the bonus.
In this description is implicit the
terrific danger which still exists
that the veterans as a body may still
be lured into acting as a ready
made Storm Troop army for some
potential Hitler who may rise under
the auspices Of the American Lib
erty League or some other group or
combination Of groups.
DOUGLAS description of the tao
y tics, the camp discipline and the
personal conduct Of Waters and
other misleaders Of the veterans re-
veals Fascism in dusty embryo
One Of the most infamous Of these
political scayengerS, whom Douglas
mentions in passing, is Art Smith.
later commander Of the Khaki
Shirts Of America and still later
convicted perjurer and accessory to
murder.
1t is significant that one of the
few other books written on the
Bonus march is a ridiculously fan
ciful piece Of fiction describing the
role Of the bonus army in building
an imaginary Fascist State.
One thing stands out in the mar
rative, the colossal, Gibraltar-like
determination of the veterans to
get to Washington. to hold their
ground, to fight, to win the bonus.
Little has been written about the
bonus march save by the Workers
Ex-Sevicemen's League, and about
the role Of this militant group,
Douglas has much informative and
little known material.
In perspective it is possible to
understand, from reading Veterans
on the March" how such a spon-
taneous movement could reach such
vast proportions and how it could
survive all the tortuous alleys Of
treachery through which it was
forced, often at the points Of guns.
THE movement was able to grow
L and survive despite its spon-
taniety because it won Immediately
the mass support Of the working
class.
The veterans did not win the
bonus, but the entire working class
made concrete gains as a result Of
the march.
The consciousness among veterans
of their jobs in the class lineup
began to grow. And most impor-
tant of all, the march and the siege
Of Washington was in itself one Of
the most important actions of the
working class in shaking the gov
eminent out of its murderous re-
fusal to provide relief funds for the
growing army Of Americas joble5s.
Douglas book, which deals with
the facts of the Bonus March, not
only records an important page in
the history of the American working
class-it makes that page thrilling
and highly Informative reading.

Municipal Airport late today with his
seven-league boots in an effort to add
to his list of records in one of the

Air Races.
Already in possession Of q new

spite of what he termed some of the
dirtieSt flying weather In his career,
Turner is entered with seven other
pilots in the Thompson trophy race.
Over 100-mile course, it carriers
$4,000 In prize money.
Six of the entries in the event,
which will close the 1884 races, have
qualified at speeds ranging from 229
miles to 246 miles an hour. Turner
announced he would compete if he
were not forced to qualify, and no
objections were forthcoming either
from race officials or the other entries.
The probable list of starters:
Turner; Douglass Davis, Atlanta, Ca;
Roy T. Minor, Hollywood, Calf;
Harold Neumann, Moline Ill: Roger
Don Rae, Lansing, Mich; Lee Miles,

ship with its knife-like wings by the
stands. His TAO horsepower motor
netted him an average speed of only
302 2036 miles an hour although he
did achieve 325126 miles an hour on

STRIKES IN j. s.
LAID TO REDS
Matthew WoII Calls for
United Action by Church
and Labor.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 3.-United
action by the church and labor
against Communism was urged by
Matthew Woll, vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, today.
Woll declared in an address at the
Cathedral of st. John the Divine that
the San Francisco general strike was
inspired by "orders from Moscow"
Mentioning other recent labor dis
turbances which he said had been
fomented by Communists. he asserted:
And these strikes, We are informed
by their leaders, are merely the fore
runner of a great wave of greater
strikes. preparing the way for a revo-
luton"
Recalling a meeting last week OF
the Jesuit Philosophical Association,
Woll said Rev. Edward A. Walsh, re-
gent OF the School of Foreign Service
of Georgetown University, asserted at
that time that documentary evil
dence, in the form of telegram,
shows that the Third international
at Moscow has ordered the Com
munist party in America to smear the
N. r. A."
I'm the midst of heroic effort on
the part Of the Government of the
United States to achieve industrial
recovery" he said. such a message is
communicated from body in Moscow
dominated by Joseph Stain, dictator
of the Soviet Republic. Such brazen
assault from the very capital of a
so-called friendly power indicates the
standard of ethical relationships
which exist when religion and moral
values are counted as 'opiates' and
curious survivals of primitive state

LABOR MARKS ANNIVERSARY.
Day Was First Set Aside As Legal
Holiday in 1887.

CHICAGO, September CP).-Labor
celebrates today the 47th anniversary
of the first legal holiday designated
as Labor day.
In March of 1887 Colorado passed
the first law designating the day a
holiday. and a month later New York
took similar action. Other States
followed quickly and now the day is
celebrated throughout all the States
and Territories.
But Labor day, histories show, was
celebrated several years before. rne
idea back of the day seems to nave
been born in Boston around 1880,
when laborerS, only few orgaEized,
began to see the need for concerted
action.
The idea was received enthusiastic
cally, particularly by the Knights OF
Labor, founded in Philadelphia as a
secret order in 1869.
The knights of Labor held their
first Labor day" in 1882 with a
parade in New York City.
A measure to make the holiday d
national one hung fire in Congress
until 1894, when Representative Amo;
Cummings took the matter up in the
House, and Senator Kyle of South
Dakota introduced a Labor day bill
which passed without opposition &c
be signed by President Cleveland or
June 20.
To emphasize what Labor day
, means to the union man, several
| unions impose a fine on any membel
found working on that day.

NEW YORK, September 3.-One of
labor's foremost leaders, Sidney Hill
man, declared yesterday the tests
of the past year have proved the
essential Soundness of the N /. r. A."
Analyzing the progress of the re-
covery program and its relationship
to labor, the president of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers Union said
the second Labor day under the New
Deal finds, however, a great deal
of discomfort in the ranks of labor
about the operations Of many codes"
Unquestionably he said, some of
the policies will have to be modified
or changed, and greater attention to
the improvement of the labor pro-
visions in the codes and the effective
enforcement of these labor provisions
is the task ahead of us"
Hillman left no doubt that his union
will use its fullest power to aid the
administration in enforcing the order
of President Roosevelt cutting hours
and proportionately increasing pay in
the cotton garment industry.
An investigation, he said. showed
what the hours of work had to be
further reduced In order to bring
about the unemployment that the
country has a right to expect from
that industry
Labor. Hillman added, docs not re-
sort to a strike, but as last resort,
when it despairs of any other solution
for its real grievances.
"The injustices that labor has un-
dergone, he continued, fully justify
a resort to strike if there is no other
way out to remedy conditions.
THE white collar worker" he said,
"was sorely neglected in the pro-
visions of the different codes. 1t is
this omission that gives ground for
criticism"
