Loan Sharks and Uneth-
ical Lawyers Are Organ
izing Raid on the State
Bonus for War Veterans
Against Law to Assign Pay
ments or Accept Fee
TO Collect Them and Vio-
lators Will Be Prosecuted

Reliable information has been re-
ceived by State Headquarters of the
American Legion that, despite the law,
loan sharks and conscienceless lawyers
have begun to organize for raid on
the state bonuses to which ex-service
men and women are entitled
The lawyers, according to Hugh w.
Robertson, assistant state commander
of the veterans organization, who are
guilty of the attempt are of the "shy-
ster" type, and are persuading vete-
rams to pay them fea for Resistance
rendered" in the collection of the ad-
ditlonal compensation voted last fall.
The loan sharks are somewhat holder.
this official says, in that they are ad-
tant interest for it, Nearly all the
proposed victims of such persons are
foreign born veterans.
The Legion has taken definite steps
to put stop to this practice. It is
to be the chief agency for the bonus
distribution and will prosecute all Of
tenders.
at is against the law to assign the
bonus or to take a fee far its collec-
ton" Robertson said, sand the Amer
lean Legion intends to prosecute to the
limit any specific case of violation
which comes to our attention and to
see that the maximum penalty is i'm
posed. We have the backing of the
Adjutant General in Albany in this
stand. Every ex-service man should
know that the only fee allowed by law
is nominal one, of % or 80 cents
to notary public, and even that need
not be paid, because the American
Legion throughout the state is prepar-
ing to supply notaries public and other
service in connection with filling out
bonus applications free of charge"
