v. 400 Vets Board Freight | on Way to Washington BULLETIN ST. LOUIS.—Four hundred‘-Wworld war veterans, on their way to Washington to demand immediate cash payment of the tombstone bonus, boarded five freight cars in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and arrived Nin them here today, The veterans upon their arrivals in Council Bluffs went to the freight yards and had the begin crew hook the cars to the train bound for St. Louis. When the marchers arrived at St. Louis they piled out of the cars, the sides of which were placarded with demands. They transfered to @ Baltimore and Ohio freight and proceeded to Washington. ‘Attempts made to halt the veterans were unsuccessful. C. G. Farm- er, general freight agent of the B & O, said that it didn’t seem that anything could be done about it. “How can you arrest 400 men?” he asked. vt 6 * NEW YORK.—“They didn’t kill { Workers, Ex-Servicemen’s League in us in France so they are trying to | Chicago and state that they have | starve us to death now.

AMERICAN WORKERS ARE GIVEN HIGHEST SOVIET AWARD SATURDAY WAR ISSUE WILL HAVE 8-PAGE SUPPLEMENT! RUSH ORDERS AT ONCE! The special War Issue of the Daily Worker, dated Saturday, May 28th, will have an 8-page supplement in addition to the regular 4-page paper. Besides special articles on War, this sup- plement wil contain articles on the election campaign and the Veterans Bonus March, As the largest possible distri- bution of this issue must be ob- tained, all Party mits and mass organizations, etc., are urged to make arrangements to order, sell and distribute the Saturday paper. One of the cardinal points in the platform of the Party for the election campaign is the defense of the Soviet Union, Comrades going out in the signature drive should there- fore ze advised to take along | dozens of copies of the War | Issue to inform the workers of | the impending attack on the Soviet Union and to tell them how we can prevent such an attack!

This is only another way of ad- mitting that the economy of the cap- italist .structure is reeling from heavy brows of the deepening crisis and that more drastic measures are necessary in an effort to find a way out “through further beating. down ! the standayds of life of the ‘masses | and. through imperialist war and tn- tervention against the Soviet Union. | Continuation of Policy This. great coalition of banking and | capital (finance capital) is a continuation of a policy long pursued by the ruling class to place industry and the whole economy of the country upon a war footing in the shortest possible period of time. As long ago as 1925 the late Elbery in: a Gary presided at. a ‘meeting of industrialists where a pact was drawn up calculated to place indus- try upon a war basis in a few days’ time. It is interwoven with the speedy drive toward fascism as was revealed yesterday in the exposure by the Daily Worker of the formation of a super-party war council, “a coalition government” embracing leaders of both republican and democratic par- ties. ‘ More Suffering For Workers Under this plan, -as well as under Hoover's “economy” plan, enormous amounts, even billions of dollars, are to be placed at the disposal of the business and industrial concerns, but not one cent to relieve unemploy- ment, Such a coalition of bankers and in- dustrialists means tremendous cen-, tralization in fewer hands of the eco- nomic forces of the country, which is reflected in Washington by the republican-democratic “super-Party war council.” It means cutting the wages of workers still more, and finally it means preparing for con- scription of workers in industry on starving rations to produce war ma- terial for those conscripted in the imperialist armies.
