Chapter In Struggles Of Ex-Servicemen

Massachusetts to get a personal look
at the trouble. General washington
wrote: g. Such a formidable
rebellion. hardly know how TO-
realize it,"
Heavy armed forces were sent,
under one General Lincoln, to put
down the rebellion. Here was
forecast Of the events of 1928.
American soldiers were sent against
American ex-soldiers and farmers.
At first the people had tried
peaceful methods. They petitioned
the legislature. Then they began to
break up courts or prevent them
from opening. This was in the
autumn of 1786. During the winter
following, a home force of 500 was
formed, with headquarters in Stock
bridge. In February, one Parsons
put out a circular calling on his
fellow sufferers to resent unto re-
lentless blood" and to collect in
Berkshire County for the purpose of
"burgoying General Lincoln and his
army" A skirTnish took place. Two
men were wounded; eighty-four,
taken prisoners. A number accept
ed an offer of pardon on condition
they lay down their arms and take
an oath of allegiance.
Another force was formed, but no
match for the state troops sent
against them. They retreated, trudg-
ing thirty miles over frozen roads
and fields. Rain had followed q
thick snowfall. A crust of slippery
ice had formed over a foot and a
half of snow.
Suddenly, the rebels saw ahead Of
them at the top of hill they
were climbing, the troops they were
trying to avoid. The troop COM
manders ordered, "Firel" Every
muslet was discharged into the
ground. American soldiers refused
to fire on American ex-soldiers.
(Here also a precedent was formed
for Bonus March incident in 1922
Pension Fights During Civil War
Pardon was later granted to 270
prisoners. Fourteen were sentenced
to death. Shays escaped into YER
mont, and was pardoned two years
later. This page was inserted in
American history text books under
the heading of "Shays' Rebellion. I"
The Civil War, similarly, was fol-
lowed by short wave Of prosperity,
followed in turn by the bottom of
the wave-depression. In the trough
of the depression came the long
drawn-out pension fights" which
lasted into the next century.
Year by year the Civil War vets,
driven by economic conditions, bat

Veterans on March
Tells Story of
Bonus Fight
By JACK DOUGLAS

THE Bonus March was no isolated
phenomenon. 1t was a natural
outcome of a long historic process
Of the immediate aftermaths Of
wars in America, reaching back to
the Revolutionary War. The condi-
tions after the World War which
led up to the Bonus March were
only part of a triple parallel of
similar economic and political con-
ditions following all three of the
major American wars: The Revolu-
tionary War, the Civil War and the
World War. In each case the war
was followed by a short period Of
temporary prosperity and then deep
crisis. And the crisis was deeper
each time it returned.
In 1873, just after the Revolution,
large group of Revolutionary Wat
soldiers made a PAY March" to
Philadelphia to lay their demands
before the Continental Congress in
session there. General Washington,
Lafayette and other officers received
large pensions in money and land
grants; but the privates had not
been paid since the Battle of York
town in 1871, two years before.
About forty dropped out on the
way, but by the time they got to
Philadelphia enough sympathizers
had joined them to triple their
original number. They arrived on a
Friday, June twentieth, and marched
to the State House the next day
Their spokesman said they had
come for their pay, and that they
thought they had a better chance
If they came to Congress than if
they waited for Congress to come
to them.
The Journal of Congress for that
year shows pitifuly deserted gap
between June 21-when a lone reso-
luton was passed, calling on Gen
eral Washington for troops, and
calling on Congress ito meet on
Thursday next at Trenton or
Princeton In New Jersey"-and the
next insertion which does not ap-
pear until June 80, under the head
ing, "At Princeton"
When Congress reconYened at
Princeton it directed General Howe
to march with force to Pennsyl-
vania," but showed a reluctance to
call out troops because they might
"be ready to make common cause
with those on their march for mu-
tinous purposes" The Marchers
evidently had the sympathy of the
citizenry. Continental troops had
been called for because the militia
in the city was "disinclined to act
upon the present occasion"
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-08-04

George Washington wrote back to
Congress in response to their re-
quest for troops; II instantly or
dered three complete regiments of
infantry and a detachment of
artillery to be put in motion as soon
as possible. This corps (Which you
will observe by the return is large
proportion of an whole force) will
consist of upward of 1000 effec-
tives" Washington also called these
Marchers soldiers of a day" and a
trough lot" much as President
Hoover q century and half later
called the Bonus Marchers down.
right criminals" and Reds" and
claimed that they were not even
veterans.
When the troops arrived, the Pay
Marchers' leaders had slipped away
The Pay Marchers were forced to
return home. Two were sentenced
to death; and four to corporal
punishment, Later, Congress saved
it's face by pardoning them.
The soldiers failed in their March
but left tradition-the tradition OF
demand by demonstration for what
they considered their rights,
IN Massachusetts,, another uprising
l was going on at this time-an up
rising of a part of the same masses
now hungry and suffering, who had
done the fighting that won the
Revolution. One of the leading
figures Of this uprising was Colone.
Daniel Shays, a Revolutionary War
veteran who had been conspicuous
for his bravery at Bunker Hill anc
! at Stony Point" (From Americana
American Historical Magazine, 1926;
article by Charles A. Shriner)
The close of the Revolution was
followed by two years of fair pros
perity. Then came hard times, de-
preston. Among those worst hit
were the poor farmers. Money
seemed to disappear. Barter became
the prevalent way of doing bust
ness. Law suits were more common
than money. The courts were
glutted with them. In 1874 at least
every fourth man in Groton CMass. }
had from one to twelve suits against
him. In Gloucester, the population
OF which was then less than fifty
thousand, the civil court had 9
calendar Of over 1900 suits. This
directed much of the anger of the
people toward the courts.
Farmers Rebel
The farmers began to form groups
and rebel. Ex-soldiers, LOOKING
about for work (many of them form.
erly farm workers themselves)
joined them. The militia was
! called out; but in many places they
were hurriedly recalled when 1t was
found that they were in complete
sympathy with the rebellious farm.

Washington Described
War Vets as a
Trough Lott

late as 1918, after the United States
had entered the World War, there
was a slight increase Of certain
classifcations of pensioners. This
was also a promise to the World
War soldiers that they would be
well cared for when they returned.
THE QUESTIONABLE which had to
be filled out by the Civil War
veterans, or their families if they
had been killed, were so complicated
and full Of red tape that only a
person used to them could fill them
out. This kept the veterans sub
jected to politicians, who used them
during political campaigns on
promises of concessions. In addi-
ton, these questionnaires made the
veterans prey and tools Of q
crew of thieving legal representa-
tives," called claim agents" Often
the doctors, to whom the veterans
went to have their conditions certi-
fed, increased their fees by turning
claim agents. A Government in
vestigator of the time describes them
and the general condition to which
the veterans and their families were
subjected:
Claim agents would sit at the
pay offices on pay days and seize
the pensions of frightened, ignorant
privates, frequently retaining more
than half Of it for themselves.
Just as the Revolutionary officers
bonuses had fallen into the hands
of the money lenders, so the pension
emoluments of the Civil War vet
Grams collected in the pockets of
the loan sharks"
There is no uniform pension law
for veterans. Disability payments
came only as result of the strug-
giles Of the veterans after each war.
But, as far back as 1918, veterans
were able to force from Congress
payments for injuries and the pres
sure Of economic conditions-even
though not arising from the war
itself. payments for service con-
nected injuries were always provided
for0 This formed the first basis for
what is known as the non-service
connected disability allowances and
laid the foundation for similar pay
ments for Civil War, Spanish
American War and World War
veterans.
