 (Erom Fridays Daily)
 Appointment of a committee to draft telegram to the national leg
 islative committee of the American Legion, which telegram will embody proposed amendment to the four
 fold compensation act, which passed
 the house of representatives at the
 last session, and which is now up to the United States senate for action, was authorized by the legion here last night. This amendment pro- poses that none of the provisions of the measure. as finally enacted into law, shall discriminate against the disabled man in securing loan or loans on lands or homes under the Isoldier settlement or any other fea- lures embodied in the bill.
 In this connection the membership of the legion was informed that Governor Campbell had written this post that he would not favor any measure coming to him in which there was any discrimination against the disabled man.
 Plans for a membership drive were discussed, and the securing of committees to make a campaign within the next few days was order ed A main committee to lay out systematic enrolment of ex-service men in the legion was voted by the post. With the attendance evenly divided between members resident in Prescott and those from Whipp1e Barracks. 1t was decided that the cooperation of Charley Lynch, bet ter known by his ring name or Ser geant Lynch, would be asked, 1t be- ing proposed that he head a con- mittee to have charge of "gIove contests" this committee to submit plans for the promotion of that phase of entertainment to the execu- tive committee of the legion for en- dorsement.
 Arrangerhents have practically been completed to hold the legion meet inhs in the city in one of the lodge rooms fronting on the plaza. This will change the meeting nights to the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month when held in the city. The first and third Wednes- days of. the month meetings will be held in the Red Cross building at Whipple Barracks.
 Report was made to the post that a news report that 25O legion men were serving as auxiliary police" in Fl Paso was misleading ill that the account of the matter did not con- vey the information that list of l LOCO men belonging to many other fraternal organizations had been made, these men holding themselves ready to protect lives and property in case of border raid or trouble a crime wave, or similar emergencies, and that none of the 1000 men had been sworn in or called upon to qualify as peace officers because no such occasion had arisen. Nor had the information been giyers@that these men were not to be used in indus trial disputes, a settled policy of the. national organization as repeatedly published by various legion national including National Com. nander Galbraith of the legion.
 That the completion of the list of he disabled veterans at Whipple Barracks would be but a matter of ! few days, was announced by those having the work in progress. This list contains the home address, regi- nent and company to which each. nan belonged, and statement of my trouble or delay experienced by my Of the men in compensation, in ;urance allotment or other trouble. This accomplished, the same survey will be made of disabled men resi- lent in the city. and those under reatment in the various hospitals of Prescott.
