FORMER SERVICE MEN
WANT FINES REFUNDED

Petitions asking Congress to enact
Legislation for the relief Of discharged
soldiers, sailors and marines were pre-
sented to Vice President Marshall yes
terday by President Marvin g. Sperry Of
the Private Soldiers and Sailors L.
gion Of the United States. The organ
ization asks that they be provided
with employment, that each dis
charged man be given $500. that fines
imposed by court-martial for petty
offenses be refunded with a review Of
such findings and that unused public
lands and national resources be OPEN
ed to the soldiers.
And we don't want to be confined
to swamp lands. cut over stump lands
and desert lands, either" the petitions
said. I'VE hold that the hundreds Of
millions Of idle acres of good agricul-
tural. mineral and timber lands and
vacant city lots are none too good for
the use of soldiers who are conceded
to have saved civilization at $50 per
month minus large reductions for court
martial fines, insurance. etc"

Broom Factory to
 Go to Little Rock

The Pine Bluff Broom factory, an establishment which located here several months ago to gain a terri tory in this district for their output of brooms, is removing from Pine Bluff to Little Rock. This estab- lishment is owned by E. E. Bricker, who states his action in moving was brought about because the Pine Bluff jobbers and wholesalers refus- ed to patronze his factory. He said that after several months trial here, he felt this lack of patronage by the Pine Bluff wholesale and jobbing concerns left him without the de- mand for his output, as to justify the factory remaining in operation in Pine Bluff.
 The move to Little Rock is but a removal of half of the original fac tory first established in Little Rock. When this factory came to Pine Bluff, half of the facilities of output were removed here from Little Rock, leaving the remaining half there.
