iRy u. q. Dougherty.I


Washington, May ss.-Witn the war
risk bureau and the treasury DEPART
mcnt heads. In a bitter controversy, OBJ
servers here believe that the disabled
aoiJicfs are the ones who viii suffer
most from the tangled disagreement
between Glass and Lindsey. secretary
Of the treasury and former chief ~ tn
war risk bureau respectively.
Here are the figures which tell Of the
plight OF Americas wounded and dis
abled soldiers:
More than 0,000. disabled soldiers
have filed claims foe compensation with
the risk bureau. and more are coming
In at the rate Of 1000 a day.
More than 10000 have been listed by
the fedora, board for vocational train
Ing for rehabilitation.
Only 2,579 are actually In trimming.
altho the war ended six months aeo.
Where are the rcst7 Enineshed in
the slow routine OF governmental pro-
cedure. where they are waiting. and re-
ceiving In the meantime neither pay
nor trimming. This governmental pro-
ccdure requires from two to five
months.
The vocati onal training bcard is adj
ministrotively independent OF the war
risk bureau. but the law charges 1t
with the rehabilitation OF wounded or
otherwise impaired soldiers.
Inquiry at the bard brings oJt the
fact that only little more than 5000
compensation cases have been report
ted 10 1t by the compensation divisions,
whereas the latter states IL is actually
an n IN QO0 dis hlQd
men. The point Is tina. the board can
not take up for action the case Of ans
soldier who is not gettin; compcnsa-
ton. The compensation division says
that it has certified. except for an oc-
casional error of omission. every case
of compensation award. This discrep-
ancy Of 1900 In cases available for vo-
cational training and to the further
discrepancy between 5000 and 10000
and the 10000 cases of disability re-
ported TO the vocational training board
are apparently inexplicable.
The rapid rehabilitation OF the army
is causing applications for compensa-
ton Ia pile up very rapidly and add to
the difficulties Of investigation, SO
that there is very little prospect that
the compensation division will be able
to speed up much in making awards
The result is that thousands OF dis
ahled men are being turned loose with
no means OF support while tine wheels
OF official routine slowly revolve. Not
only do these men have to find support
thru charity or loans while waiting
but they also lose the SAINT period OF
vocational training. This causes many
thousands Of mon to pass thru period
OF idlcness that is most demora,izing
and leads them TO believe that their
country has forgotten them. according
20 vocational board officers.
To what extent II any. tn" financial
shortage Of the bureau, due TO the .ail-
ure Of congress 10 pass the deficiency
appropriation bill. is delaying cnrnpen-
sation awards, can not be asccrtained.
Col. Lindsey. retiring director Of the
bureau Of war risk. refused to discuss
any phase of the financial situation.
but II is stated that payment of S1o,-
900. 900 of allowances 10 accompany
soldiers allotments Of pay to depend
ents is held up for lack OF funds.

ENTITLED TO EIGHT HOURS

Washington-In reply to resolu-
tions by the Merchants association
of New York city, Director General
of Railroads Hines says that the rail-
road administration is firmly con-
vinced that the eight-hour day is the
natural right of railroad workers.
"The railroad harbor craft in New
York." he said, care nothing more nor
less than movable railroad bridges.
Every railway employe on either
shore whose work brought him in
contact with the harbor craft was
upon an eight-hour day, and his
wages had been substantially increas-
ed. 1t was manifestly unfair to with
hold from the harbor craft employees
of the railroad administration a con-
sideration as to hours of service and
wages which had been extended to
all other employees of the administra-
tion."

Iron MOlders Advanced

Washington-The national war la
Dor board has advanced wages of
Chicago iron molders to Sc a day.
Last May the board advanced rates
from $3.50 to $3.50 day with the
understanding that the award could
be reviewed at the expiration of six
months. The iron molders' applica-
tion has been acted upon favorably
by the board.
Boston-At meeting of the iron
molders' conference boards of Boston
and vicinity, Connecticut valley and
eastern New England it was voted to
take joint action to secure an eight
hour day and minimum wage of
$6.40. These rates are paid in gov
ernment navy yards, arsenals and
ship yards.
