100000 VETERANS
NOW OUT OF WORK
Legion Appeals to Employers
for Places for Army of
Unemployed.

hingtOn.-Claiming that there
are from 100000 to 100000 veterans Of
the world war out of work. the Ameri-
can Legion through its national legis-
latlve committee, has issued an appeal
TO employers throughout the country
TO loosen their purse strings, length
en- their vision, and make jobs for the
men who kept American business safe
from a German indemnity"
The Legion's appeal says that a
careful study made by the organization
in 16 states indicates that there are
10000 veterans out of employment in
Pennsylvania, 100, 900 in New York, 35,-
600 in Illinois, 80, 900 in Massachusetts,
10000 in Minnesota, $50 in Washing
ton. 1000 in Arizona and from 5000 to
10000 in all of the remaining 16 states
under survey
1t says that in a number Of states
veterans relief laws. originally enact
ed to help needy civil war veterans
and amended to apply to world war
veterans, are enabling unemployed
loI lIcl SCl VIC IHtu W ODtdIil ltlt Ddl z
necessities of life; that in other states
where no such legislation has been
passed American Legion posts are
stripping their treasures of their last
dollar to keep bread in the mouths
and clothes on the backs of the needy
comrades
Continuing, the statement says:
To-day more American veterans
than fought at St NIihiel, more Ameri-
can veterans than composed the 1st
American army, compose America S
army of the unemployed.
Six hundred thousand jObleSs vet
erans are walking the streets OF our
towns and cities wondering where the
next meal is to come from.
"The American Legion believes that
had congress passed the adjusted COM
pensation bill the present serious con-
dition would never have come about,
at least not for veterans of the war.
And it likewise believes that should
congress Immediately upon reconven-
ing pass the relief bill the condition
would be greatly alleviated."

Galloping little ahead of Pug, old Bianchi

saw an American flag rattling smartly over
one of the long sheds. Just beneath it door
opened suddenly, and tall man, bareheaded
and without a coat, ran out with shout Of

Goneli at the head of the Indian trail told

Gonelli said nothing of this to his weary
