Adjusted Compensa-

Congress Two Years
Continued from page one

Fordney, the chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee, and
discussed adjusted compensation. It
was the unanimous opinion OF
Legion officials at that time that
action should be deferred upon any
of the pending fifty-five measures
until the ex-service men had had a
chance to express themselves on the
matter.
The subject, was taken up at the
first Legion convention and the fol-
lowing resolution adopted:
Whereas, the question of adjust
ment of compensation, or extra pay
for service men and women, is now
pending before congress, and before
acting thereon congress has shown
the disposition to await the view Of
this convention upon the subject;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That while the Ameri-
can Legion was not founded for the
purpose of promoting legislation in
its selfish interest, yet it recognizes
that our government has an obliga-
ton to all service men and women to
relieve the financial disadvantages
incident to their military service
an obligation second only to that Of
caring for the disabled and for the
widows and orphans of those who
sacrificed their lives and one already
acknowledged by our allies-but
the American Legion feels that it
cannot ask for legislation in its
selfish interest and leaves with con-
fdence to congress the discharge of
this obligation"
No further. action was taken on the
measure until February, 1920, when
the national executive committee Of
the Legion demanded of congress the
passage Of bill paying $50 compen-
sation for each month of service. In
March, 1920, the Beneficial Legisla-
ton committee Of the legion met In
Washington and framed four-fold
bill for adjustment Of compensation.
The insurance option was not a

MUMMIFIFD FAT
 MAN IS UNIQUE

PHILADELPHIA, March g. The mummifed body of a fat man, an early resident of Philadelphia, is be- ing preserved at the Wistar Insti- tute of Aantomy and Biology as a rare example of adipocere, sub- stance which is a soft waxy mass re- sembling soap.
 According to officials, the man was Wilhelm Van Ellenberger, who lived in the city when it was the capital of the United States and George Washington was president.
 Tn 1792 Van Fllenberger fell vic tim of the yellow fever plague and was buried in Potters field, then on the outskirts of the city. Many years of burial in the moist soil of the field gradually converted the body into an adipocere mummy and when the field was turned into a public square the body was exhumed by workmen and identified.
 Dr. Henry H. Donaldson of the Mister institute staff, said recently that the mummified condition, while not common sometimes occurs when many bodies are buried together" and that the speciman while mot unique is unusually good"
 The mummies of three Egyptians which occupy a place at the insti- ute with Won Ellenberger are not as we'll preserved as the latter. This was accounted for in that they were dried while being mummified and the tissues shrunk.

REDS OPPOSE
 COOPERATION

ESSEN, Germany, March 9.-Union labor has rejected plan proposed by the Krupp works. under which worknen were to have purchased special issue of stock with their savings, and were to receive certain administrative privileges, looking to- ward cooperative management of the plants, according to the Krupp an- nouncement.
 The resolution in which the plan was rejected by the Krupp shop sov- jet declares the Krupp management intended to unload" stock on the workmen, and by creating "cap- italists" among the laborers destroy the solidarity of the working class
 The labor leaders believe partici- patton in the management of the plants, as stock owners, could in no manner lead to better economic re- lations with employers, and would endanger the status of the manual laborer in relation to the brain workers"
 Radical, Socialist and labor news japers give the Krupp firm credit for an attempt to alleviate the "so- cial problem" by promotion of big family of employees and employers but, nevertheless, approve the action of the Essen labor unions and express the hope that German labor will stand togther against any schemes to capitalize the working men and arity."
