Post 1877. Veterans of Foreign Wars,
held Tuesday, November /, reports
from various committees were sub

of former service men was given
preference. Recommended that

scented to veterans organizations
calling upon all welfore organiza-
tons to lend their assistance for
relief work by Offering for use
funds held contributed during the
war for the beneht of men
then in service. Letters received
from former service men complain
ing that discrimination was still be-
ing practiced in government depart
ments, read. Tentative plans for a
federated grievance committee for
the purpose of bringing about a
Congressional investigation of gov
eminent departments, ascertaining
the number of men admitted to gov
eminent positions during the war,
and those claiming exemption from
military duties was discussed. The
consensus of opinion IL that thou
sands of able-bodied men worked
themselves into positions through
the aid of friends and holding their
positions at the expense Of former
service men.
Veterans are urged to demana
and exert every effort to obtain
their rights. A fight to the finish
for the adjusted compensation Will
be carried on by veteran organiza-
lions. Plans for increasing veteran
publications throughout the country
are under consideration, recognizing
that veteran publications are the
sole medium through which veter-
ans may expect Justice. The COM
mittee approves the enlargement OF
the United States Postal Savings
which should be encouraged by in
creasing the rate of interest on de-
posits at per cent with no limit
as to the amount OF deposit. This
money could be used by the gov
eminent In paying its Obligation to

duty of veteran leaders to educate
the former service men, the bene-
fits of placing their confidence IN

where they receive a more reason
able rate of interest and their saw
ings far more secured. The ques-
ton Of politics was dealt with, since
veteran bodies are constantly warn
ed against entering politics. The
committee believes 1t for the best
interest Of veterans to enter poll
tics. The following quoted from
the Washington Star, October IA,
1921: President breaches Gospel of
Understanding to Postmaster.
IT take it we are not all Of
one party here and 1 want to say
that I'm not averse to postmasters
being interested in politics. II any
one ever comes to me and says he
is seeking a postmastership and has
no party affiliations he's going to
be wiped Off the slate right away.
