The committee finally adopted reso-
iutions Of sympathy with the New York
postal workers and directed their ma
tional legislative committee to confer
next month with the new Postmaster
General in an effort to clarity the
postotfice muddle in so far as ex.

AS a result of this report, the execu-

they refra in in future from appointing
committees.
The report Of Mr.. Davis charged
that ex-service men are being kept in
private hospitals that are ''indescrib-
ably filthy and in which conditions are
terrible" Mr.. Davis said that, after
the men were placed in such hospitals
they were left without visits or in
spections by representatives Of the
Public Health Service
The executive committee voted to
stand solidly back of DR.. S. c. Smith,

Garry On Furd" Appeal

The appeal Of the Carry On Fund
of Mount Vernon vividly illustrates the
situation in which the disabled war
veterans in many localities are placed.
According to the appeal, Mount Vernon
has 17s cases listed, and new gas cases
are developing every day. 1t says that
one local veteran, who was suffering
mentally from the effects Of gas, com
mitted suicide. In his case, the appeal
says, the action Of the government au-
thoritics was coldly correct, but the
veteran committed suicide following
depression and encouragement be-
cause OF lack of personal attention.
The appeal is being made under the
auspices of Mount Vernon Post, 8.
which says that the personal interest
and care were supplied until recently
by the Red Cross, through Mrs. Robert
Lindsey. The Red Cross was unable to
continue the Office. The post has since
taken over the Office and reengaged the
services of Mrs. Lindsay, and is now
appealing for funds to carry on the
work.
