LABOR UNIONS FAVOR LEGION
Kern County, California, Labor Council
Recommends That All Members
Join World War Body.

While q number of isolated cases of
local unions taking action against the
American Legion have been given con-
Siderable publicity in the press, practi-
cally nothing has been said with regard
to the hundreds of locals through the
country that have Endorsed the work of
the Legion. A story along this line was
recently carried in the Union Labor
Journal of Bakersfield, Cal, as follows
There has been a disposition upon
the part of some persons who are none
TOO DESTROYS of seeing friendly spirit
developed between organized labor and
the American Legion who have gone
out of their way to make representa-
lions to the effect that union labor is
antag0nistic to the Legion. This sort
OF misrepresentation has been INDUCED
In to the extent that false reports have
been disseminated to the effect that la
Dor organizations have attacked the
American Legion In resolutions of con-
demnati0n. In no instance have we
known of any such attitude upon the
part of labor organization, nor do We
credit as truthful any report to that
effect. On the contrary organized Ia
Dor recognizes the fact that the great
mass of the membership of the Ameri-
can Legion are working men to whom
great debt is owed by the nation. 1t
recognizes the further fact that the
interests Of the members of the Legion
are Identical with those of the rest OF
American working men.
The national executive committee as
well as the state executive committee
OF the American Legion has repudiated
he attempts of those who have sought
70 make the Legion an organization an
mgonistic to labor. thing which could
never be because of the fact that from
me ranks Of labor came the great ma
Jority of the young men who made up
me army OF democracy.
Union labor has not sought to make
OF the Legion partisan of unionism
nor can II take kindly to the efforts of
nose designing ones who try to create
ehmity between the American Legion
and organized labor.
During the present week statement
mas gone from Bakersfield TO a certain
metropolitan paper to the effect that
the Kern County Labor Council had In
a resolution denounced the American
legion. The report Is 80 mallclousiy
sroundless that 1t could have been In
sspired only by a desire to influence the
Legion and labor organizations else
where into an attitude of antagonisrn.
The Sacramento Labor Council has
nis week passed ringing resolution
Vi Endorsement OF the American Legion
ana the Kern County Labor Council
mas taken occasion to deny the canard
aieging enmity by stating in unequivO-
cal terms its friendship for the Ameri-
can Legion, Its membership and its
purposes, In a resolution of indorse-
ment.
we wonder II the author of the libel
Jus report that the Labor Council had
%hdemned the American Legion knows
what proportion of the men from this
Wmmunity who served In the military

FEAST LAKE DEATH. !.
TRAP SHOULD GO

Presiding Judge of the Audrain
County Court, S. C. Groves, was in
this city Friday and when asked about
the Courts plans for the improvement
of four miles of the east highway out
of Mexico which includes the elimin-
alton of the East Lake death-trap, said
the court wanted above everything else
to do away with the dangerous pas
sageway under the Alton tracks and
could not favor the proposition unless
it included such a plan.
"At present we are busy completing
the improvement of seven miles of
road between the eight mile road dis
trict limits South of Mexico and the
Galloway county line. AS soon as this
project is off our hands, which should
be in another month or a little longer,

road plan.
THE east highway Improvement
plans have advanced further than any
other before the court and We are
willing to go the limit for it provided
it includes doing away with the East
Lake death trap. Just what the court
can do in this project of course de-
Ponds upon the finances at hand.

of making safe the East Lake death
trap, which were made from a survey

While he spoke for over an hour

Mr.. Stodadrd and Earl Barns, who
addressed the meeting during the
last club year. Previous to the
opening Of the regular club session
the business session was held and
matters OF importance discussed.
Among the topics discussed was
that OF Increasing the club dues.

reasons for the increase end she
was seconded in her remarks by
