tion of property by itself. and at such
sum or price a. he believes the same

The Executive Committee of the
American Legion sends the following
to Local Legion Posts:
There has been persistent effort
by the |. ". W. and other radical ec-
ments, through their paid agtatorf
and through the columns of their paid
press representatives. to create
throughout the rank, of labor a false
impression concerning the attitude Of
the American Legion toward the la
Dor unions and laboring men. The
reasons for this attitude by the radi-
cal element are easily UNDERSTOOD
The American Legion stand, first and
foremost for the defense of our con-
stitutional government and for the
maintainance of law and order. The
l. ". W and kindred organizations
stand for the destruction of con~titt-
tional government and for the de
Struction of law and order. A. you
realize, a large portion of the mem

American Legion has no quarrel with
the labor unions. and Is in fact. any
'ous and willing to do everything in
its power to better the conditions Of
the labOrer and to help him in an
legitimate ways toward accomplish
ing this end. The American Legion
does not believe that the activities Of
the |. W. W are in the interest of the
laboring men. but instead, they foster
q spirit Of discomfort. and are con
Stantly creating a spirit of defiance

and have for its purposes the over
throw of our government. for which
! our members, a. soldiers. sailors. or
marines. fought TO defend upon the
battle fields Of Europe.
The / W W have further attempt
ed to create the impression among ex-
service men and the labor unions that
