ON No. 275, a unit Of the Chicago
painters union, has declared
members Of the American Legion
ineligible for membership, and
whereas said local union has dis
approved the recent government
raids against agitators, and has
passed resolutions calling upon
congress to seat Victor Berger as
a member and whereas said action
is not representative Of the paint
