LEGION MEN WANT P. M. FlREI
Lincoln (Neb.) Post Takes Exceptions
to Government officials Demand
for Use OF German.

A resolution requesting the govern
nsent 10 relieve Henry c. farms. post
master OF Emerald. Neb., from his of.
flee was passed by Lincoln (Neb.l
lost No. 3 of the American Legion. as
a result OF the postmaster's efforts to
Supplant the American language by
the German language in a church OF
Emerald.
The trouble started when the pastor
OF the church invited two Legion mem
bers TO deliver patriotic addresses In
the church. When the speakers APP
peared. farms objected TO their pres
ence and called for a vote OF the con-
gregatiOn TO decide whether they
should be BUSTED. IL was the win OF
the majority that the Legionnaires
should not be heard. After the vote,
the Legion members quietly left the
church.
The pastor. whose Invitation 10 the
Legion men was made In an endeavor
20 conciliate the prO-German and
American elements OF his church In
their controversy over the use of the
American OF German language, then
took the floor and expressed his sur
prise at the turn of events and left
the meeting.
In commentator OF the patience Of
the American Legion members a Lin
coin newspaper expresses the follow.
ing sentiment In its editorial col
umnS:
The policy OF the Legion to send
speakers 10 address meetings ON in
vltatlon only and to teach American
ism by example rather than by force,
has everything TO commend It The
snail groups of unassimilated for4
elgners In this country can readily be
curdled into compact masses by hate.
On the other hand, they can be dis
solved In time by patience and friend
ship. The American Legion is honor
ing the name ii bears when IL adopts
the latter course"

was strong and the house party over
the weekend made a good deal of talk
by fast driving around the country I'm
motorcars on Sunday and by loud
singing In boats on the river and
noisy play on the tennis courts. That
kind of thing was new to Bingville.
When Il was all over, Phyllis told
her mother that Gordon Xii s-one ~
the young men-had insulted hef
when they had been out IN a boat 80
gether on Sunday. Mrs. Bing -
shocked. They had a talk about IL up
In Phyllis bedroom ut the end OF
which Mrs. Bing delivered an injunc-
tion, Don't tell fatherI"
II was soon after the party that Mr..
]. Patterson Bing sent for William
Snodgrass. the carpenter. He wanted
an extension built on his house co1-
tanning new bedrooms and baths and
a large sun parlor. The estimate OF
Snodgrass was Unexpectedly large. In
explanation of the fact the latter said:
"We work only eight hours day now.
The men demand IL and they must be
taken TO and from their work. They
can get all they want to do on those
terms"
"And they demand seven dollars and
a half day at that7 It's big pay for
an ordinary mechanic" said j. Patter-
son.
There's plenty of work TO do"
Snodgrass answered. II don't care the
snap o. my finger whether l get your
lob or not. I'm forty thousand ahead
o. the game and / feel like layin' of
for the summer and takin' a rest"
81 suppose I could get you to work
overtime and hurry the Job through II
I'm willing 10 pay for it," the million
alre inquired.
'sThe rate would be time an half
for work done after the eight hours
are up, but it's hard TO get anyone to
work overtime these days"
"well, go ahead and get all the work
You can out Of these plutocrats Of the
saw and hammer. I'll pay the bills"
said J. Patterson.
The terms created a record in Bing-
Vile. But. as Mr.. Bing had agreed to
them. In his haste. they were estab-
lished.
