AMERICAN LEGION CONVENTION {. EXPECTED TO PLAN CAMPAIGN FOR
 COMPENSATION FOR WAR VETERANS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 22.- National headquarters of the Ameri- can Legion announced today that it is expected that the Legion will, in its third annual convention at Kansas City, beginning October 31, reaffirm it's stand for adjusted compensation for veterans. Headquarters predicts that the convention will lay plans for Flight to the finish" on that issue before Congress and that it will take steps to relieve distress among 900.- GOO ex-service men who are reported to be unemployed.
 More than 1000 voting delegates will be present, representing 11,000 posts of the Legion. Preparations have been made to care for 100000 out-of-town visitors in Kansas City during the convention.
 A survey of Legion sentiment throughout the country as expressed in instructions to delegates and in actions by state and county conven. tions of the Legion reveals, says the announcement, the following addi- tional issues on which itjs likely the national Legion assembly will declare itself:
 Immediate Action
 It is held certain at headquarters that immediate action will be taken for temporary if not permanent re- lief of the jobless veteran. A na- tional committee of the organization has been making study of relief measures following country-w wide survey. It is affirmed by some members of the Legion that passage of the Sweet bill. creating the Veterans Bureau, has not fully overcome all the difficulties which have prevented disabled men from obtaining all their rights, and this question will be con sidered. In each of the IA regional districts of the Veterans Bureau a representative of the Legion has been assisting the Bureau in. adjust ing points between posts and indi viduals. These representatives will be able to present to the convention reports showing just what the new bureau is or is not doing.
 Compensation Plans =.
 Further plans for obtaining passage of the Federal-adjusted compensation bill are to be considered. Legion representatives say that almost every state convention since the recommit- ment of the measure has passed reso-

Senator Colt Will Oppose
 Borah and Free Toll Bill

WASHINGTON. Oct. 22.-Senator Colt Republican,, of Rhode Island, will oppose the Borah bill. which pro- poses free tolls through the Panama Canal. He admits that the Hay. Pauncefote treaty is susceptible of two interpretations and says that a difference in it's interpretation has arisen. He believes that difference of opinion presents a proper matter for arbitration, and that, if it is the opinion of Americans that tolls should not be charged against American vessels passing through the canal. he would favor arbitrating the question as to whether we have a right, under the treaty. to make the canal free to vessels of American register.
