at Evening BANQUET

Conservation and cooperation
are essential to future industrial de-
velopment, but although extrava-
gance is now in the ascendancy and
labor troubles are hampering pro-
duction, this condition cannot be
permanent"
This is one of the remarks MADE
by James Rattray, assistant manager
of the bond department of the Guar
anty Trust Company, New York. VINO
spoke to twenty-five members OF
the Bond Mems Association of Cen
trail PENNSYLVANIA, who held their
dinner at the Penn-Harris last even
ing.
"The average American worker Is
accustomed to law and order; ne
appreciates the comforts of life ana
is willing to work for them," Mr..
Rattray went on, land 1t is extremely
unlikely that he will continue IN
definitely to sacrifice himself and ms
family in the vain hope OF reachihg
chimerical Utopia. Many Of our
workers own their own homes; they
have investments of various KINDS
which constitute them capitalists as
well as laborers, and in view of these
facts pessimism regarding the uitl-
mate outcome seems unwarranted.
Mr.. Rattray reviewed our war ac-
tivities and the results of the posi-
ton taken by the United states IN
a financial way. He exhibited the
greatest optimism for the possibilities
of the country in its postwar work

LEGION ELECTS
AND ADJOURNS
Franklin D'Olier Is Named
as It's First National
Commander

Minneapolis, Minn.. Nov. 13.-The
first annual convention of the Amer
lean Legion came to a close last
night. 1t was decided to open the
1920 convention at Cleveland, Ohio,
on September %. The convention
probably will last three days.
The convention elected Franklin
D'Olier, of Philadelphia, as its first
national commander and voted to
have Congress consider the advisable
ity of approving further bonuses for
service men.
D'Olier was the first candidate
to be nominated. He was named by
the Arkansas delegation. California
passed its nominating right to New
York, and Stuyvesant Fish placed
the name of Hanford MacNider, of
Mason City, Iowa, before the conven-
ton. The Virginia delegation nomi-
mated Leslie Jones, of Washington,
ID. c., and Kentucky named Emmett
O'Neill, of Louisville. Jack Sulli-
van, of Seattle, who was nominated
by the North Dakota delegates, with
drew from the race, as did Chairman
Henry ID. Lindsey, of Dallas, nomi-
mated by the Texas delegation. The
vote was:
D'Olier, s66; MacNider, 24s;
Jones, Is; O'Neill, is.
The Rev. Francis A. Kelly. of New
York, was elected national chaplain.
The title of past national COM
mander was conferred upon Mr..
Lindsey. He had been acting head
of the legion since the meeting at st.
Louis last spring.
Turbulent Session
Election of the national COM
mander followed a turbulent after
noon when a mass of resolutions and
reports. including the soldier bonus
issue, were considered.
The convention for a time seemed
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-11-13

sharply split on the proposal to in
dorse a specific bonus plan, and
finally voted to place the matter in
the hands of the National Senate and
House of Representatives.
Representative Royal o. johnson,
of Aberdeen. S. d., who served in
France. supplied the inspiration
which decided the bonus issue. Call
ed to the convention stage. he urged
the delegates to ask Congress ito
recognize and relieve the financial
disadvantages" incurred by persons
who made sacrifices to serve their
country. Former Senator Luke Lea,
of Tennessee. chairman of the bonus
committee, formally put this resolu-
ton before the convention and 1t
was passed by a tremendous viva
voce vote.
A broad variety of subjects, in
Guiding the Centralia, Washn., trag-
edy, Industrial unrest, and the Ma
tional Nonpartisan League, were
touched on yesterday afternoon.
Delegates from northwestern states
drew up n resolution assailing the
activities of President A. c. Town
ley, of the Nonpartisan League, but
it was tabled by vote of the con-
vention.
lowing statement shortly after his
election:
The American Legion has an
enormous amount of constructive
work before it in the coming year,
but the spirit of clear thinking. fair
play and cooperation manifested so
wonderfully throughout this conven-
ton leaves no doubt in my mind that
we shall be able to accomplish during
the coming year just as remarkable
results for our country as we did in
such n comparatively short time in
effecting the utter defeat of the
enemy.
Every action of the convention
was discussed carefully and in every
instance the soundest possible judg-
ment prevailed. There was only one
thought ofevery delegates present and
that was to do what was best for
this country of ours, for which only
so recently we were willing to give
our ALL"

Says Crop Damage
Is Responsible For
High Coffee Prices

Atlantic City. n. j., Nov. 13.-Denial
that coffee roasters were responsible
for the present high prices of that ar
ticle was made by Carl w. L. Brand.
president of the National Coffee
Roasters' Association, which opened
its annual convention here yesterday.
In his address to the convention Mr..
Brand said the cause for the rise in
the cost of coffee was due to the crop
wide imitation of currency and the
war tax. He called for campaign
of education to lift the charge of prof
iteering from the roasters. Mr.. Brand
said the members of the association
were ready to join in any movement
to break any manipulation of the
worlds supply of coffee.
