LAW T0PR0TECT
KIN Of SOLDIERS
Passage of Drastic Measure
Proposed to Reach "Buz-
zard Lawyers"

Official action to thwart the lawyers
endeavoring to profteer on the pay
and liberty bonds of soldiers killed In
service of their country in France,
which was brought to the attention of
Congress yesterday, is to be taken
promptly.
John Shelton williams, controller of
the Treasury. today told Representa-
tive McClintic Of Oklahoma, who read
in the House yesterday letters show
ing that a Washington firm of law
yers is endeavoring TO induce the de-
pendent relatives of men who die in
France to assign to them 20 per cent
of their claims against the govern
ment as a collection fee, that the de-
partment will welcome any light on
such profiteering attempts.
The controller denounced the prin-
ciple and policy of those who try to
extcrt such fees from those who are
beneficiaries of the soldiers who gave
their lives for their country.
Proposes Drastic Measure.
Representative AIcClintic intends as
soon as Congress comes back from its
recess to introduce bill which will
protect these dependents of the SOL
diers from those buzzard lawyers
who are taking advantage of the SOL
diers' kin. The form letter and con-
tract of these Washington lawyers
show that they are endeavoring to
dodge the war risk insurance bureau
because the department has sent out
warnings against those trying to hold
up the insurance benefciaries for a
large contingent fee.
They are systematically pressing
their services upon the dependent
next of kin" OF the war victims. and
Representative McClintic proposes to
urge a drastic measure that will COW
er all such cases.
Members of Congress generally are
aroused over the conditions as pre-
sented in the House yesterday by Rep
resentative McClintic and Representa-
tive Knutson of Minnesota. They have
given Representative McClintic assur-
ance that his bill will be passed with
out delay.
The most active member Of the firm
of lawyers, mentioned in the House
yesterday, whose name appears in the
Congressional Record. visited the Of
flces Of both .McClfntic
and Representative Knutson today en-
deavoring to explain his conduct.
