LEGION THINKS
.PARADES DO NOT
FIND MEN WORK
Asks Posts Throughout Ma
ton Not to Stage UnemplOy-
ment Demonstrations.

Parades of unemployed men do not
constitute a desirable or effective means
of solving the unemployment situation
and time spent in organizing such dem
OnstratiOns had better be utilized in
digging up some kind of work for the
men to do This was the sentiment eX-
pressed by prominent members and ON
cials Of the American Legion, who sat
in a conference upon the question with
National Commander John q. Emery at
national headquarters here late Friday.
The conference received reports upon
the number and condition of unemployed
ex-service men throughout the country
and jotted down IA number Of preliminary
recommendations to be sent to the HOO
legion posts. The committee is expected
to take more definite action, looking to-
ward the laying down of program be-
fore the national convention in Kansas
City. Oct. 81, Nov and >.
WOULD COOPERATE
WITH CONFERENCE.
A telegram expressing desire TO CO
operate with the national unemployment
conference was sent by Commander Emery
to President Harding.
1t was estimated upon reports from
all sections of the country that there
are 903.0O0 ex- service men out of work.
Their situation is not going to improve
much before spring unless some stimulus
is given to business or some undeveloped
line Of work is opened up. In this con
nection the often proposed suggestion
that the Federal State, county and
municipal governments Of the country put
eX- segvice men to work on public i'm
prov 'ments and that it be done this win
ter and not next spring. The state Of
Minnesota is doing a wonderful piece of
work Of this nature. it was reported to
tho conference.
WOULD BAN
CHARITY IN LEGION.
The recommendations drafted for com
municatlon to the posts are as follows:
NO charity Make industry the basis
OF RELIEF
discourage parades Of the unemployed
Discourage breadlines, soup kitchens
etc.
Let each employed legionuaire accept
the responsibility of obtaining employ
ment for one ex service man.
Let each post Of the legion elect an
employment officer.
Put stop to fake soliciting of EN-
ploymeni.
'Promulgate spirit Of cooperation
etween the posts and the welfare or
ganiza4ions of their districts
Bring the attention of employers to
the fact that the ex soldier is no longer
the restless dissatisfied man that he was
in the months directly following the close
OF the war
The Telegram to President Harding
read
II have the honor to report that the
American Legion committee on unem-
ployment has today conn to- the le-
gion to the task Of caring t. the 90O,OO
jobless ex-service men. We desire 10
