VETERANS PRIOR
TO LEGION CLAIM
Continued from page ~

the delegates felt that they were not
representative enough does not agree
with the ac;ual fact as we find it in the
legion's literature Under the heading
Caucus Resolutions" we find the state
ment:
Resolutions asking for further bonus
were turned down The attitude Of
the caucus was that the American Lee
gion should stand for a high type Of
citizenship and NAmericanism, and not
for the plan Of getting all it could for
its members
This seems to be the true reason
why such action was taken on the bonus
resolution, and, if one considers the
caucus representation, nothing else would
be expected. =
Reasons Offered Are Questioned
Again the explanation offered by
the Hennepin county central committee
OF the American Legion that the bonus
resolution was not passed because the
delegates felt they were not represent
enough, does not quite agree with
the fact that a resolution of this kind
did pass asking the government to re-
claim arid, swamp and cutover timber
land to establish homes for the re-
-urned service men. If the delegates
id not consider themselves representa-

Legion Attitude Toward Labor Chal-
lenged.
.Sixth-What is the Leg:ons attitude
toward labor. The American Legion
has shown an unfriendly attitude toward
labor in different parts of the country.
Although resolutions have been passed
approving the patriotic conduct of the
American Federation of Labor during
the war, it is by action and not by words
that the organization is judged. It is
regretable that statements regarding
the Legion's action appear in the Asso-
ciated Press from time to time which
are contrary to their resolutions. When
we read the news item:
Gary, Ind, Sept. 81. Mayor
Hodges today issued proclamation
Informing all steel workers that they
may return TO work Monday if they
desire and police protection will be
afforded them. The mayor also stated
that 500 members Of the American Lee
gion will patrol the residence section
or When during the month Of June a
Istrike was to be called at Omaha, Neb.,

Again, as we examine the records
OF some of the officers, we find that the:
national vice president, Jack Sullivan,
the nouthpiece Of the organization, is
proven beyond doubt to work against
the interest Of organized labor, Mr..
Sullivan himself boasts Of his activities
in helping break labor strikes.

Hold Your Cotton" Is
Advice OF Association

Notwithstanding the fact that grow
ing out of war conditions the demand
for cotton is and will continue to be
the greatest in the history Of the world,
the production In the South this year
will be the smallest in a decade, say
officials of the American Cotton AS
sociation after completing survey of
world needs and conditions in the
United States. 1t is calculated by tire
Association experts that 55,0O0,OOO
bales or l5L2 lbs. for every human
being will be required each year. AS
sOciation officials on the other hand
point out that the crop in the South
this year will hardly exceed 100000
bales whereas it has averaged for
several years 100000 bales.
The answer is Hold your cotton -
says Grundy Cooper of Alexandra,
Vice-Chairman of the Louisiana Divi-
sion Of the American Cotton Associa-
ton. The farmer is master of the
cotton situation and should hold for
the maximum price as the world must
buy and the spinners are realizing
that they must pay the price. A very
recent survey disclosed that Great Brit
an has only two weeks raw cotton
supply on hand. Cotton at 40 cents
a pound is the cheapest raw material
being sold in the Worlds market. !"
