Franklin D'Olier, National Com
mander of the American Legion. to-
day issued from National H~eadquar-
ters at Indianapolis, the following
statement regarding the attitude OF
the American Legion toward organ
lied labor.
THE attitude of the American Le-
gion toward Organized Labor Is ex-
actly the same as its 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 forefath-
ers.
1.-The preamble of our Constitution
expresses very clearly the purposes
of the American Legion and read as
follows. o..
For God and Country we associ-
ate ourselves together for the follow
ing purposes: To uphold and defend
the Constitution of the United States
of America; to maintain law and or
der; to foster and perpetuate a one
hundred per cent A~mericanisn; to
preserve the memories n incidents
Of our association in the Great War;
to inculcate a sense of individual OBJ
legation to h community, state and
nation; to ombat the autocracy OF
both the classes and the Masses; to
make right the master OF might; to
promote peace and good will on earth;
to safeguard and transmit to postertty
the principles of justice, freedom n
democracy; to consecrate and sane
tify u ~comradeship by our devotion
to mutual helpfulness..'
1.-THE purpose of the American Le-
gioa is two-fold-servtce to our COM
rades and service to III country.
Under the head OF service TO u
comrades we will exert all of our In
1uence and all of u strength to the
end that the ~ex-service man, especi-
ally the disabled man and his lepen-
dents and the dependents Of those
who paid the supreme sacrifice. shall
receive that just and fair treatment
which they have reason to expect
from a patriotic and liberal country.
In serving our country we shall en-
deavor TO keep alive that spirit of
service which induced us all to re-
spond to our country's call in h time
of her need eve to the extent Of be-
ing willing to pay the supreme sacri-
fee. And this we propose doing by
assisting in the maintenance OF a
hundred per cen A~mericanism based
on fair play and a square deal for all
Tho members of organized labor
are patriotic American citizens and
the members OF the American Legion
are patriotic American citizens who
their loyalty. Consequently. on the
purposes OF the American Legion both
thew and we are In accord. Many of
our most loyal members are mem
bers of Organized Labor and 1t is our
hope that we may be able to convince
every ex-service man who is a MEM
Der of Organized Labor that our
are the same as loyal cit1-
zens and that every ex-service man in
Organized Labor will Join the Ameri-
can Legion. All ex-service men who
are members of Organized Labor
have proven their loyalty and their
patriotism to the country and now
appreciate their responsibilities as
citizens, and we therefore hope 1t will
not be long before they all are active

Dancing Should be from the waist

that the majority Of dancers desire

physician pronounced rising. His

cliff home, to attend his mother, Mrs.

quickly saw that his brother WIS in
most critical condition, and had
him return at once with him to his
Sanitorum ct Columbia, where, upon
X-Ray examination, it was discov-
cred that his trouble was serious,
whcreupon, DR.. Ratcliff, with another
brother, Mr.. w. l. Ratcliff, OF Nc
Comb, carried him to Toaro in New
Orleans, to DR.. Lynch, who operated
npon him Immediately. Before he
left Columbia. he was seriously
stricken by a dense stupor, and little
hopes we're held out for his recovery.
He was engaged in farming, and
was regarded as one Of the most sub
stantial citizens in that section. He
was q brother to the late Mrs. ]. L.
Rountree, Mrs. L. C. Gayle, and Miss
Hallie Ratcliff.
Besides a sorrowing widow and
aged mother, he leaves four small

OLD TIMER

Dear Mr.. Editor:-We are told by
the head OF the Red Cross organiZa-
ton. that there is much work to do
IN foreign countries, especially in
Aus5~ia and Po1ands and the writer
most heartily agrees with them, but
the need is, that this work should be
done by the Austraans and the Poles
themselves, in the fields and factor
les, and not by the Red Cross in soup
kitchens ard rations and clothes
Work is a thing of the past-it Is
much easier to live without working.
The Russians find it much easier to
keep half a million men in the field
to rob and plumber than to -ettle
down and go to work. There is plenty
of work for the Red Cross to do at
home, but there is no lime-light
about it and the great desire of every
one these days is to be in the lime
Fight. We are a fcrgetful people.
Every one had forgotten the bomb
ing of Wall street, few days ago.
and were much surprised to read that
Mr.. Burns had decided that it was
the work of the Russian Reds, but
but the District Attorney differs
with him, and thinks that it was the
Rhode Island Reds, and every one
gets tired of the argument and are
glad when they drop it.
We have an election Coming on
this fall and really have not the time
to be bothered about Russian Reds.
Mr.. Cox and Mr.. Harding are be-
tween the devil and the deep bluS
sea. The really momentus questions
are the League of Nations aud pro-
hibition, and the League Of Nations
people don't care anything about
prohibition, and the prohibitionists
don't give a hang about the League
of Nations, ard it looks as if it viii
make but little difference who IS
elected. Mr.. Editor, whoever is efec-
ted, will have something else to face
than the League of Nations and Pro-
Inhibition. He may not get second
time, but he will always remember tn
term, but he will alpays remember
the few years he was in Office. 1t may
become fashionable for the Russian
Reds to bomb all officials. He may
have to decide whether the Japanese
shall have California, and ell those
questions are not mentioned in the
League of Nations or Prohibition
programs.

Why Telephone Material Is So Scarce
Bu ]. Eprs RnowN. President:

This was true even during the period
when the Government was in possession
and control of the telephone properties CT
this country.
The greater part of the available tele-
phone equipment and materials was sent to-
France, none of which was ever returned.
On August LIST, 1919, when the telephone
properties were returned to the owners by
the United States Government, the avail-
able supply Of equipment and material was
so small and the needs of the telephone
companies in this country so great that all
the telephone factories in the United States,
working day and night, could not within
three years have furnished the equipment
and materials necessary to restore the fa|
CITIES to the pre-war status.
The equipment and material required by
this Company to complete its 1920 con-
struction program, will equal 1,400 carr
loads Of freight, averaging 10000 pounds.
to the car, hauled from different parts OF
this country and delivered at hundreds OF
places in the five states in which the Com
pany operates. This is equal to thirty-fvef
trains of an average of forty cars per train,
or $4,000 tons of materials.
Every business man knows what this
means.
Freight shipments from the industrial
centers of the North and East ordinarily
were delivered within two or three weeks;
now much longer time is required.
The Western Electric Company Is the
largest manufacturer of telephone equip
ment and materials in the world. 1t has
representatives in all the markets of the
world. It buys its raw materials in vast
quantities at the lowest possible prices.
The Western Electric Company furnishes
this Company with the bulk of its equip
nent and materials and acts as our Supply
Agent.
1t did not accept any contracts from any
foreign government prior to the date the
United States entered the war and only
than at the instance of the United States
Government. 1t thus held itself in readi-
ness to serve at its maximum efficiency the
needs of the telephone industry in this
country.
1t has capacity for a much larger OUT
put, but strikes. shortage of productive la
Lor, lack of fuel and shortage of transpor-
tation, facilities affecting the securing OF
adequate raw materials-has curtailed its
output.
We have not relied entirely on the West
ern Electric Company, but have placed or
ders with other manufacturers where they
could promise deliveries. Each manufac<
turer with whom we have placed orders is
confronted with the same problems in Sc
curing his supply of raw materials.
In the face of all these difficulties the
manufacture - are turning out in excess OF
what was their normal output
# the increased costs of labor and material
