LONDON, Sept. l (By The Associ-

cars went to Poplar this evening and
visited the residences of the members
of the Poplar Borough Council, who
had refused to comply with an order
of the High Court requiring them to
raise tax rates in accordance with a
ruling of the London County Council.
Many of the councillors were not at
home, but several of them were ar
rested and conveyed to prison amid
sympathetic cheers from the crowds
which gathered as soon as it was
known that the Sheriff's officers were
active.
George Lansbury, editor of "The

who is member Of the Borough Coun-

any of the women members Of the

Asks Disabled Officers
Be Privileged to Retire
Legion Committee Requests
Weeks to Extend Right to
Eunerueucv Mon
Emergency Men
From The T'Yfbune's Wdsh;p1fon Rurenu

T'O's ne rtoUneS N dSFtr QfOn Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. l. The ma
tional legislative committee of the
American Legion to-day requested the
Secretary of War to grant the privilege
Of retirement to 5000 seriously dis
abled emergency officers of the World
War. The privilege of retirement on
three-fourths pay is enjoyed at the
present time by all disabled officers
Of the regular army, navy and marine
corps and by all emergency officers of
the navy and marine corps. Only those
officers who entered the army for
World War service from the National
Guard or civilian life and who were
seriously disabled are denied the right
pf retirement
Several attempts have been made to
have Congress pass legislation specifi-
caily authorizing the retirement of dis
abied emergency officers of the World
War by both the Am rican Legion and
the disabled emergency officers of the
World War. Such bill got no farther
than committees in the 66th Congress,
but rs reintroduced in the present Con-
gress by Senator Bursum in the Senate
and Representative Royal Johnson in
she House it has been favorably re-
ported from the Senate Military AT
fairs Committee and is expected tt
aceive a favorable report from the
siouse Military Affairs Committee when
Congress reconvenes.
Regardless of what Congress NAV do
on the bill officials of the American
Legion insist that the Secretary OF
War already has authority to retire
disabled emergency army officers.
