GRANT VERDICT
 IN JURY'S HANDS

After a day spent in introduction of defense testimony and in argu- ment, the personal injury suit oi Robert Grant against the United Verde Copper company, late in the afternoon was presented to the jury in federal court with instructions to bring ill a verdict sealed in case an agreement were reached during the night.
 Grant sued the United Verde for $40,000 on account of injuries alleged to have been received when stope hoist cage in which he and three others were riding dropped 34 feet. Grants testimony was accompanied by exhibition of x-ray photographs showing fractures of bones in the ankles, according to experts who read the pictures.
 The defense raised an interesting point in its case, bringing under fire the constitutionality of the law under which the case was held to have been filed
 It was claimed that Grant had re- ceived compensation under the Ari- zona law and that he has thus elect ed that law, under which the limit of his claim would be $4,000 It was further contended that the plaintiff had been paid in full. The testimony was that he had been paid his full wages subsequent to his injury.

Neutrality in Politics

Questions have arisen among the member ship concerning the definition of the Legion's policy of absolute neutrality in politics, the states and posts being at variance in their inter pretations of the ruling The Wyom- tirg department has proposed an amendment to the constitution to al low protection of the candidacy Of any person seeking public office when his election would, in the judgment of the Legion, promote the purposes for which the Legion was organized as defined in the preamble to its con- stitution."
 The Legion is pledged to flaw and l'order" and neutrality in disputes be- tween capital and labor" it is pointed out. Means of discipling single posts or individuals, which violate these rules are to be brought up in the con- vention.
 The Legion's recommendations at its first two conventions that "the Iso-called gentlemen's agreement with Japan be abrogated" and the foreign born Japanese be forever barred from American citizenship" is expected to come up again. The Legion in Cali fornia, Texas, Arizona, Washington, Colorado and Nebraska has supported the enactment of laws prohibiting land-holding by the Japanese. Wash ington legionaries went on record as favoring the return of all Japanese in this country to their native land.
 Whether the Legion will stand for civil service preference for World war veterans not only in appoint ments but in promotions is expected to be up for decision.
 Demand Bergdoll Return
 Almost every Legion state conven- ton has passed resolutions demand ing the return of the stacker Bergdoll, and this point, with review of the publication of stacker and draft-de- serter lists, will come up for discus sion. It is believed likely that the lllOkClllC lOI lAS lSlCdSG Ol EuSCllC V. Debs also will be considered Le- zion committees have gathered mass of information on these subjects for the copvention's guidance.
 The national committee on naval affairs will present report dealing with the size of the navy, the relative importance of the surface fleet, air forces and underwater craft, disinte- grafton of the naval reserve, etc.
 The military affairs committee, will offer a report, chiefly on the possi- bilities of Legion encouragement of the national guard and organized re- serve.l All told, national headquarters announces, a dozen national commit tees will present important reports to the convention and several of them will make far-reaching recommends tions.
 On the last day of the convention a national commander, five national vice commanders and national chap lain will be elected. There are no announced candidates. New Orleans, Baltimore, San Francisco and Hous- ton, Texas, are in the race for the meeting place of the 1922 convention.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-A Amer ican Red Cross relief operations in Europe during the last fiscal year were concerned almost entirely ill aiding otherwise helpless hordes of refugees and establishing a chain of child health units that are rescuing thousands of children from the misery war has visited upon them, says the annual report of the Red Cross made public here today.
 In Austria the American Red Cross program resulted in the distribution of food, clothing and medical supplies to 500,00O persons, mostly children; gave employment in garment making to 40,000 native women; provided I25,O00,000 francs worth of medical and other supplies to 235 hospitals; $500 beds to institutions caring for I27,00O children and assisted organiza- tions reaching 107,000 persons.
 In South Russia and Constantinople the organization was called upon to suddenly care for 150,000 refugees, who were forced to leave the Crimea when Wrangel's army collapsed. It distributed all the supplies originally placed at it's disposal in the Near East, $3G0,000 sent by the Russian

CONGRESSIONAL COMPENSATION CAMPAIGN FOR VETERANS PLAN OF LEGION NATIONAL
 CONVENTION AT KANSAS CITY OCTOBER S1
Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 15.-Na- tional headquarters of the American Legion announced today that it is ex- jpected that the Legion will, in its third annual convention at Kansas City beginning October 31, reaffirm its stand for adjusted compensation for veterans. Headquarters predicts that the convention will lay plans for Ia flight to the finish" on that issue before congress and that it will take steps to relieve distress. among, 90O,- 1000 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.
 Survey of Sentiment
 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 addition 'al issues on which it is likely the na- ticnal Legion assembly will declare itself.
 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 a countrywide 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 considered. In each of the IA regional districts of the veterans bureau representative of the Legion has been assisting the bureau in adjusting points between posts and individuals. These repre- sentatives will be able to present to the convention reports showing just what the new bureau is or is not doing
 State Conventions Support
 Further plans for obtaining passage Of the federal-adjusted compensation bill are to be considered. Legion rep resentatives say that almost every state convention since the recommit- ment of the measure has passed reso- lutions of firmest support for its policy of pushing the bill. The or ganization's national legislative com mittee will present a report on the subject with recommendations for further procedure.
 The convention, it is expected, will consider the question of limitation of armaments in view of the importance of the international conference in Washington opening on Armistice Day. At its first and second national conventions, the Legion declared its course as a medium between jingoism and blind pacifism, and its military policy that of preparedness.
