LEGION SEEKS
TOOUST POST
Want Assistant Labor Score
tary Fired for Blocking De-
portation OF Aliens.

CLEVELAND. Oct. L. Dismissal
from office OF Louis #. Post. Assistant
Secretary OF Labor, for obstructing
the enforcement OF the alien deporta-
tion law. is recommended in a resolu-
| ton adopted by the new executive
committee OF the American Legion
here today.
The eopmittee was elected at Wed
nesday's closing session OF the second
annual convention OF the legion.
The resolution follows:
Whereas. From the report OF our
special Investigating committee we
are convinced that Louis II. Post, AS
sistant Secretary of Labor. has been
guilty OF obstrucunx the enforcement
OF the alien deportation laws and that
his continuance in office constitutes a
serious menace to public security;
be II
Resolved. That we adopt and sp-
prove the report OF the Investigating
committee and that the national con-
mander be diretced to take all steps
necessary TO secure the dismissal OF
the said Louis r. Post at the earliest
possible moment"
The Investigating committees re-
port was signed by M. X. Gordon. Of
Kentucky, chairman; Wilbur C. Hall.
I
Virginia, and Champion Harris. Ala
bama.
Virtually all who spoke in favor of
the adoption of the report and reso-
luton stated that, while they were
Democrats. they were better Ameri-
cans.
Among. those who favored IL were
Emmett O'Neil, of Kentucky: Roy
Hoffman,. Oklahoma; Henry Lindsay.
former State commander and former
mayor of Dallas, Tex. and Committee
men Storey. of Texas. and Drain. Of
the District of Columbia.
1t was explained that this was not
a commission OF the legion of poll
tics, but II was an outspoken utter
ance on a fundamental principle of
Americanism, and that IL they, as
Democrats, should remain silent. IL
would appear as IL they had some
thing to cover up.

Nell, A Little Girl of Russia
Toms Robbers

once upon time there lived a
little girl named Nell. Her home
was in Russia. Now this was when
they had Car. He was a very
bad Car. And whenever he
thought some one said something
against him. he would have them
sent to the mines.
Now the mines were dark and
dirty, and Nell's father had been
sent there the Gear thought he
said something against him. Nelrs
father had been mistreated and
was getting very thin, so Nelrs
mother said, I'VE will try to help
him escape"
Nell and her mother talked to
the guard, and the guard forgot all
about guarding the mines, and
Nell's father escaped. Now it was
dangerous for Nell and her father
and mother, because the guard
went back to the mines and looked
to see If all the men were there
because he thought that some
might have escaped. And after he
saw that Nell's father was moi
there he was very angry. He wen
to see if Nell and her mother were
at home, but nobody was at home
he knew now that they were well
on their way. Nell and her moth
er and father were on the train,
and the train was going to Moscow.
AS soon as the train stopped. Nell
and her fathel and mother. hurried
off the train because the guard had
sent word that Nell's father had
escaped, SO it was dangerous be-
cause the guards were hunting for
him. But Nell's father escaped
to America and they are very
thankful that theydid.
Coming to America the Captain
did not want to take them, blu he
finally consened hat they might
ride on his ship, and just as the
ship got out Of sight the guards
came running up but they were too
late to get Nell's father. Nell and
her mother and father are safe in
