GETTING ALL THEY CAN FROM THE GOVERNMENT
r BONUS MARCHERS D,E- ---• FRAUD AUTHORITIES , New York Times Cable. 4 r NEW YORK, July 20—A racket whereby members of the i “bonus expeditionary force" in Washington are supporting themselves by drawing upon the Gov. _ crnment through the recent legis. ; Nation enacted to pay their pas- ! sage home, but are failing to go or are going only to recruit more marchers and return to the capi. tal, was revealed yesterday. Transportation by train and auto, mobile, plus 75 cents a man daily ftM sustenance, has been distributed to 2215 of the veterans. However, as soon as the men have received their tickets and sustenance money, they slip off the train in Washington as soon as the Federal agent who puts them aboard turns his back, or simply take the mfney and return to camp. The attitude of the men seems to he that, in lieu of their bonus money, they will get all they can from the Government.
