 says an editorial in the California Oil Worker, official newspaper of
 District Council No. l, Oil Field. Gas Well and Refinery Workers of ] America.
 1 "The charge has been made that the Legion was capitahstic insti- tution, but it's very composition is
 enough to prove that such an ac- 'cusatlon is absolutely balseless. The Legion's big job at the present time IS to win decent treatment for sev- eral thousand disabled veterans and to provide employment for approx imately 100000 more who are now johless. Nothing very capitahstic about that program, is there?"
