Bronx Organization De-
lnands State Constitution
be Amended So Bonus Is
sue Will Stand Court Test
Civil Service Preference Is
Indorsed; Investigation of
State Hospitals Caring for
War Veterans Is Asked

Only four recommendations for leg
islation favorable to veterans of the
World War were made by the Bronx
County organization of the American
Legion at its annual convention in
Morris High School last Thursday
night, but all were vital issues with
ex-service men and women. They were:
/. A demand that the state consti-
tuition be so amended that the bonus
for veterans will be validated by the
highest courts.
2. Endorsement of the civil service
preference bill to be voted on this
November.
8. Asking the government to compel
the United States Shipping Board to
man all ships under its direction with
Americans and employ none but
Americans in the executive Offices.
4. Calling for an investigation of the
state hospitals caring for veterans to
determine whether the state is carrying
out the terms Of its contract with the
government.
The convention was marked by ab-
solute harmony on all these issues,
there being but little difference of
opinion among the delegations, which
represented twenty EIGHT posts. The
only untoward occurrence that served
to mar an otherwise constructive ses-
sion was an effort by one post to carry
its own dispute into the convention.
Its members had split in the selection
Of candidate for delegate to the state
convention, but the attempt to have the
convention settle the quarrel was
speedily clotured, and it's only result
was that this post will not be repre-
sented by either of the candidates at
Jamestown.
Among the guests of the Legion
naires were ZOE auxiliary members, who
displayed keen interest in the delib-
erations.
