Relief Union.
The newly elected national president Of the
Union Veteran Relief Union. Mrs Emma
Michael OF this city, was treasurer Of Elizabeth
Custer Union. of which Mrs T. W. Rose is
president, when elected. This union was the
first organized in the District and has been
noted for it, zeal and success in the patriotic
work to which the Veteran Relief Union is
pledged. Mrs. Michael is the sixth regularly
elected national president of the organization,
two having held Office by appointment. The
contest for the presidency was between Ohio
and the District of Columbia. the latter carry
ing off the honor by coed majority. 1t is fit
ting that the Office should be at the capital. at
least for the ensuing year, for the reason
that the cOmmander-in-chief of the Trion
| Veterans Union, Sergeant-at-Arms Yoder of the
House OF Representative. resides here. and the
headquarters OF the organization Of which he
Is head. are located tere. This makes consulta-
tlon and cooperation between the two heads of
the two important and rapidly growing orgaai-
cations convenient and continuous. 1t is be-
heved that every state IN the Union will within
the next two or three wears. contain veteran re-
lief unions. and the work. therefore is likely 20
