A man serving during the whole period of U.

Since the acute crisis has ex- hausted any possible savings of the veterans, the worker veterans, the rank and file for which the Work- ers’ Ex-Servicemen’s League speaks, are raising the demand for payment to worker veterans only, at once and in full of the whole face value of the policies, so that the workers who are veterans may keep themselves and their families alive a while longer.

Mellon, of course, opposes the pay~- ment immediately of the full face pvalue of the “Tombstone Bonus,” he wants it to remain a tombstone bonus. While the fascist Congress- man Fish has hit on the idea of “giving 25 percent” an idea which is supported by the fascist leaders of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. | The Legion opposes even this, and the hypocrisy of this sham battle can be seen by the fact that 25 per cent is only two per cent more than what the policy-holders can get right now as loans, without Fish and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Fish and the leaders of the V. F. W., of course. think this is a great trick to keep the worker veterans from “going Bol- shevik,” The Workers’ Ex-Servicemen’s Lea- | gue is the only organization de-| manding payment to worker veterans | at once and in cash of the full face | value of the insurance “bonus” po- | licies, They warn worker veterans to not be fooled by the smoke screen put out by reactionary politicians. | They do not delude the veterans with the bank being peddled by some politicians that this will “bring back | prosperity,” but it will, certainly, help millions of starving worker ex- servicemen and their families.
