Photograph of a group of unidentified veterans wearing costumes and posing with a wagon full of hay at Multnomah Civic Stadium in Portland. On the side of the wagon is sign that reads “Voiture 112 / Bellingham Wash.” The photograph may have been taken at a rally or protest related to bonus payments for World War I veterans. The man at center left is holding a sign reading “Andy Mellon’s Bonus,” probably referring to Andrew Mellon, who served as United States treasury secretary.
