LEGION
NEWS AND NOTES

Selection of Mrs. Edith Tunis Sile
widely known throughout Virginia,
to become State chairman of the won
ems division of the American Legion,
Department CT Virginia, is announced
by the State executive committee.
Mrs. Sale will direct and supervise
the establishment of women's auxil-
iaries to every Legion post in the Old
Dominion, the plans for which are
now being worked out. Temporary
charters for these auxiliary uniis al
ready have been prepared. Mrc. Sale
can be communicated with at Vinita,
Va.
Application blanks fcT c;cl tcI2 To-
tho GuXiiialicS have been, mailed to
every pest N the department, and the
work OF organizing the new. units is
expected to be started at once. Mrs.
Sale, who was prominently. identil-
ed with many war-movenents in Vir
ginia. is the wife Of BrigadierGcn-
eral Williamc Wilson Sale, of Vir-
ginia, and will be assisted by a State
Executive committee of ten women
elected from each Of the congression-
al district.
These committee women will assist
in the organization of auxiliaries in
their districts. There is an unlimit-
ed future before the American Legion
ofIicers believe, with the two orgari-
cations working harmoniously togeth
er. They feel that no post Of the LIE,
.gion will be complete without WON
ems auxiliary unit. The dues fix
ed by the committee are only IS cents
for each member-50 cents to the
State Department and 25 cents to the
national organization. The auxiliaries
are open to the mothers, wives, daugh
ters and sisters of men or women who
saw service during the World War.
Passage of the memorial library
bill for the establishment Of great
n'e'noriaI in Richmond to honor the
men and women of the Old Dominion
who served their country during the
war marked the closing days of the
General Assembly. The House Of
Delegates made only slight amend
ments to the measure adopted by the
Senate, and these were accepted. 1t
is understood that the bill is also sat
isfactory to Governor Davis, who is
expected to affix his signature. to it
an y day. In connection with the
erection of the library, the city Of
Richmond will permit the conversion
of Capitol street, bounding the north
ern side Of the Capitol Square. into
park driveway, virtually extending
Square to Broad street by the remov-
al of the high iron fencing. This
will result, practically, in the placing
Of the library, as well as Richmond's
city hall, within the confines of the
square and centralize the public
buildings of the state and city in one
general group. The American Le-
gion sponsored the bill, and is admit
ted to have been largely responsible
for it's passage.

American Legion and Labor

American Legion and Labor
Franklin D,Olier, national com
mander of the American Legion, has
issued from national headquarters at
indianapolis, the following statement
the attitude of the Ameri-
can Legion toward organized labor -.-
F 1.-The attitude of the American
Legion towards organized labor is ex-
actly the same as it's attitude toward
all groups of American citizens who
are interested in a square deal for all
in the maintenance of law and order,
and the protection of the institutions
handed down to us by our forefather.
THE preamble of our constitution
expresses very clearly the purpose Of
the American Legion and reads as
follows: ,~-.
For God and country, we associ-
ate ourselves together for the follow
ing purpses: To uphold and defend
the constitution Of the United States
of America; to maintain law and or
der; to foster and perpetuate a 100
per cent, Americanism to preserve
the memories and incidents of our
association in the great war; to in
culcate sense >of individual obliga-
tion to the community, state and ma
ton; to combat the autocracy Of both
the classes and the masses; to make
right, the master of might; to pro-
mote peace and good will on earth;
to safeguard and transmit to posteri-
ty the principles of justice, freedom
and democracy; to consecrate and
sanctify our comradship by our devo-
ton to mutual helpfulness.
"The purpose of the American Le-
gion is two fold-service to our COM
rades and service to our country.
Under the head of service to
our comrades we will exert all of
our influance and all our strength
to the end that the ex-service man,
Especially the disabled man and his
dependents and the dependents oi
these who paid the supreme sacrifice
shall. receive that just and fair treat.
ment which they have reason to ex.
pect from patriotic and liberia
country. ...
In serving our country we shall
endeavor to keep alive that spirit ol
service which induced us all to re-
,spond to our country's call in. thu
time of her need, even to the exten
of being willing to pay the suprem,
sacrifice. And this we propose do
ing by assisting in the maintenance,
of a hundred per cent. Americanisn
based on fair play and square dea
for all.
"The members Of organized labo
are patriotic American citizens ant
the members of the American Leg
ion are patriotic American citizens
who have proven their patriotism
and their loyalty. Consequently, OF
! THE purposes Of the American Legiol
both they and we are in accord
Many of cur most loyal members ar,
me.lbers Of organized labor, and it il
our hope that we may be able to con
vince every ex-service man in organ
lied labor will join the American LIE
gion. All ex-service men who ar
members Of organized labor hav
proven their loylty and their patri
otism to the country, and now appre
ciate their responsibilities as citizens
ard we, therefore, hope it will no
be long before they all are activ

The American Legion is charac-
teriZed as "our national Ku KluX
Klan" by The Messenger, a colored
socialistic publication of New York,
which goes on to say that, because of
it's action in breaking up socialistic
and "red" meetings, in any through
ly civilized country the legion would
be regarded as a criminal organiza-
tion, the dissolution of which would
be ordered with celerity and excdi-
ton. The only reason that it can
thrive in America is because we have
so long winked at lawlessness, lynch
ing and mob violence that we have
forgotten what law and order are. !"
