The B.L.F. digs in at Johnstown, Pennsylvania. More than 3,000 members of the Bonus Army who were chased out of Washington, D.C., by the federal troops are now settling down for a temporary stay at Ideal Park, Johnstown, Pa., where they were invited to stay by Mayor Eddie McCloskey, despite the opposition of many citizens of the city. Photo shows the vets in camp at Johnstown. There was major trouble over this with many officials and citizens of the area - more than I can write in a simple caption.
