Vets Pledge
Support OF
3-POint Plan
Rebuff Attempt to Drop
Fight for Jobless
Insurance
BY SEYMOUR WALDMAN
DAILY Worker Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, May 21.-Group
chairmen representing the rank and
file of all veterans organizations
united today in repulsing the first
attack on the veterans "three-point
program" in the Veterans National
Rank and File Convention.
The attack was made Immediately
after Emanuel Levin, member OF the
National Rank and File Committee
and Chairman Of the Workers Elk
Servicemen's League, presented the
committees report. The report,
first business to come before the
veterans assembled in the Washing
ton Auditorium, came out strongly
for the program" immediate cash
payment of the adjusted service GER
tificates; repeal of the Economy
Act; and immediate remedial relief
to the unemployed and farmers.
Jim Beatty, of New York, former
marine sergeant, known among the
veterans as THE Booming Boiler
maker" was elected chairman for
today's proceedings.
Beatty told the veterans: Don't
split your ranks. This is the place
to thrash out disagreements," and
then proceeded to attack the COM
mittee report. He argued for the
narrowing of the veterans program
to the bonus demand, and declared
chauvinistically that the ex-soldiers
should consider only THE American
Vet"
Robert Cowan, spokesman for the
Cleveland, Ohio, w. E. S. L. con-
tingent, the third largest in the
convention, was the first group
chairman to reject Beatty's reac-
tionary proposal.
Most of the leaders of contin-
gents who followed Cowan joined
in vigorously rejecting Beatty's pro-
poSal.

LaFOllette
Party
Main Object To Stop
Masses from Going
Communist

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 21.-
Saturday marked the end of an era
in Wisconsin political history, when
after 40 years the progressive fac
ton of the Republican Parry for
mally split away and formed So
called third party officially known
as the Progressive Party. In 1894
Robert M. LaFollette, Sr., taking
advantage of the agrarian popula-
TONS discomfort with the bosses
rule, founded the Progressive fac
ton of the Republican Party. For
81 years, until his death in 1925, he
held the leadership firmly and for
four decades 1t was the FREEDOM
mating influence in Wisconsin poll
tics.
The birthplace of the new" party
was Fond Du Lac. The county of
the same name and the town Of
Ripon was the birthplace of the
Republican Party in February, 1854.
Aware of the discomfort of the
masses of workers and farmers and
their movement to the left, with
thousands finding their way into
the ranks of the vanguard of the
workers and poor farmers, the Com
munist Party, and many more thou
sands voting for the candidates of
the Communist Party, the bour-
geoisie has found it necessary to
create the Progressive Party to
check this movement by an or
ganized political group with the
demagogic appeal and platform
they have put forward.
1t is naiyeIy stated, "Since
Third Party advocates expect to
draw strength from Socialists and
Communists to make up for loss
of votes which will remain in the
Republican ranks, many Of the
policies of Socialists and COmmu-
nists are expected to be built into
the platform"
BY vote of 252 to A the dele
gates voted to organize the party;
by 236 to SO they decided to call it
the Progressive" Party. The same
old faces with the same old tactics
steamrollered the convention thru
in the old approved fashion. Will
lam Evjue, editor of the Madison
LaFollette organ, welded the gavel.
Philip F. LaFollette, former Gov
ernor, was the tally clerk. Herman
L. Ekern and other faithful veter-
ans of the LaFollette movement
were on the platform.
Senator Robert M. LaFollette
who will campaign for reelection
this year on the new party ticket,
was the principal speaker. On the
sidelines were such figures as Wal
ter Singler, president of the Milk
Pool that sold out the farmers in
three Wisconsin milk strikes, the
numerous officials of the State Fed
Grafton of Labor and the Socialist
Party.
Battle Over Name
The sharpest battle of the day
was over the choice of a name, and
out of this was revealed the real
character of the new party. The
Farmer-Labor Parties and groups
of Minnesota and Michigan sent
kilograms urging the name Farmer
Labor Party be chosen. One tele-
gram came from Governor Olson of
Minnesota requesting unity and
sending congratulations. John
Handley, president Of the State Fed

The N. r. A. Blue Eagle is the
vulture of Wall Street monopoly
capital.
And on its back rides the smiling
Roosevelt.
FOR little more than year the
1 Roosevelt honeymoon has been
going on.
During this year, so filled with
rotten promises, 80 of the biggest
Wall Street corporations showed
the latest profits since the crisis
broke in 1929, profits of $41O, O00,0 900.
During this year, the working
class saw the cost of its daily neces-
sites soar from Is to $50 per cent. 1t
saw It's wages held down by the use
of the N. r. A. codes while prices
rose.
During this year, the toiling farm
population saw its meagre income
dWindle before the terrific rise in
the cost Of raw materials, chemicals.
fertilizer, machines.
The barrow report reveals some
of the reasons for tbs joyous honey
moon of Wall Street profits.
The Roosevelt-NR.A honeymoon
Is over.
NORMAN THOMAS called the N.
~ N. R. A. codes part of planned
economy" The Communist Party
proclaimed that the whole Roose-
welt N. R. A. program was directed
toward intensifying the wage slave
exploitation of the Wall Street
monopolies. The Darrow report
confirms this to the hilt:
Ito give sanction of the gov
eminent to sustain profits is not
a planned economy, but regi-
mentation for exploitation"
Yes, precisely that is what the
whole N. R. A. program of Roose-
velt is-to regiment through an in
creasing reactionary terrorism the
whole working class "for exploita-
tion."
ROOSEVELT described his price

The Socialist leaders hailed this
