cred and officers will be elected.

placed uppermost and Mt the expense of
increase in membership. The peak of

for at least four years. 1t Is our duty to

way we have had the full time of a com
petent worker. and without expense to
the post Over 40 cases. aside from
those taken care of by the cleanup squad
have been handled. covering every class
of claims needing adjustment, 81 far as
known every claim has received prompt
and coHSderate attention from the local
end. In some cases ultimate results have
not been quickly realized. owing to the
failure Of the Veterans Bureau to prop
erly function through apparent lack of
real business methods and too much red
tape. When those in authority get away
from the archaic notions we viii be able
to get better results
The post has an auxiliary of 100 enthu-
siastic members 4 committee of unem-
ployment has been formed and is function
ing. the aim being to keen all members Of
the Legion employed. The practical re-
suit has been that members have been
we'll and usefully employed during the

post had $500 on hand. 1t now has a
balance Of $4,000. of which $500 has
been laid aside for furnishing the post

NATIONAL GUARD

All Kansas Organizations
Ordered to Be Ready

SOME COMPANIES
WILL START TODAY
Wanted at Coal Fields In Pittsburg-
About 1000 Men Involved In Order
to Be Ready to Guard Coal Strikers.
In that SectiGn

TOPEKA. Kan. Dec. 14-Notices
we're sent today to all national guard or
carnations in the state comprising about
1000 men to put themselves in readiness
to entrain for the Pittsburg coal fields.
1t was announced that orders will go out
today for a movement of five or six com
panIes to the coal fields.
The last hope of the Howat following
is that state troops will be called into the
coal fields They believe that when troops
are called the miners now at work. will
quit the mines and flock back to Howat.
The national organization officials in
charge here do not want the state troops
called ont. They say the men now at work
win continue at their jobs so long as they
know they are fighting HOwat. The min
crS who are at work do not want the
state troops. They say they will be able
to take care of themselves.
One of the peculiar features Of sltua-
ti0ns such as that now existing in the
coal fields is that, while the miners do
not object to the activities of the sheriff,
and the local police officers in the en-
forCpment of law. they draw the line on
state troops If Sheriff Gould should go
into the field and make wholesale arrests
it would not disturb the working condl-
tions at Pittsburg. But at the mObiliza-
tiOn OF a single company of state troops.
even for the purpose of protecting the
miners who want to continue at work.
every mine in the district would be de
serted.
The Howat following, knowing such a
feeling against state troops exists, Is keen
to create some condition in the district
that viii compel the calling of the troops.
