YANKS NOT FORCED
BUTTONS

Charges that discharged soldiers
and sailors are forced TO sell banners
and buttons on the streets in order to
make a living in New York are alb
solutely without foundation. accord
ing TO a statement issued by the De-
partment OF Labor today.
Men engaged in this practice are
frequently civilian beggars mas
querading in uniforms or else dis
charged soldiers who do it from
choice, says the Investigation and In
spection Service of the Department.
Not a single case was found in the
entire investigation OF a uniformed
man selling anything on the streets
because he was forced to do so for
lack OF employment" the report
stated.
In the course Of the Investigation
it was found that button selling is
very lucrative business, the mon thus
engaged making from so TO 80
day. One man who was arrested ad-
mitted having made $50 a day by
selling Welcome Home" buttons. OF
twelve men arrested in naval uni
forms. three admitted never having
been in the service, il was stated IN
the report. The buttons cost the seller
about So per 100 and were sold for
from 10 to - cents each. Many OF
the men selling have been found
wearing stripes for fictitious wounds,
and foreign decorations have been
worn by men that were never in the
army, the investigators found.
ANY returned soldier can within
reasonable time get suitable employ
ment at a living wage the state
ment concludes, land under depart
mental instructions all examiners OF
the United States Employment Service
give preference to returned soldiers
whether American. British-Canadian, |
or otherwise, as against civilian ap-
plicants for any position consistent !
with their ability.
