made at the meeting OF the Veterans OF

Eddy street Thursday night, to the effect
that the veterans employed at the navy

policy of the present administration. Mr..
Buttner, who has been employed at the
navy yard for the past three years Wis
tied The Call office last night and an

the veterans of Mare island 10 correct
the impression which he declares Is

There is absolutely no truth in the
