ganization. Mr.. Bolles' report ex-
pressed the hope that "the conven-
tion Will provide the necessary au-
thority to permit the development OF
the Woman.s Auxiliary to that place
Of dignity and importance to which
1t Justly~is entitled"
The service division Of national
headquarters. the report continued,
has obtained the adjudication OF
claims aggregating more than &1,-
100000 in favor Of ex-service men.
This sum. however, the national sd-
jutant continued. Is but 1.-THE Of the
total claims the Legion has settled
In favor Of veterans, since national
headquarters has handled only COM
plicated individual cases. Service
bureaus have been set up in every
state and service officers appointed
In more than 5000 posts. From these
offices majority of the claims nave
been of endless variety. including
back pay. travel pay, bonus ($60 pay
able on discharge). liberty bonds paid
for but not delivered, allotments and
allowances and insurance.
One OF the material advantages OF
membership in the Legion Mr.. Bolles
said. Is indicated by the fact that
records show incoming claims from
non members are as great as ever,
while there has been q marked de-
crease In the number of claims filed
by Legionaires. indicating that most
Legion members have squared their
Iiaccounts with the government.
BY cooperation with the war risk
insurance bureau and the federal
board for vocational training the
Legion has adjusted thousands of In
surance claims and enabled thou
sands OF disabled veterans to enjoy
the benefits Of vocational training at
federal expense.
Aside from the interest on the
100000 Y. M. G. A. fund national
headquarters only source of revenue
has been national Dues and profits
from the sale OF emblems, the ma
tional adJutant reported. The latter
amounts to nearly 100000. The
Legion has been obliged to institute
several court actions to protect It
self in it's right to be sole Wanufac-
turer and seller Of Legion insignia.
The American Legion Weekly. the
report stated. has turned from the
loss to the profit side OF the ledger
and promises shortly to wipe out all
previous deficit.
