U. S. DOES ALL POSSIBLE
FOR DISABLED VETERANS
High Officials Reply to Commit
tee Of American Asso-
citation.

1t can be said with authority that
the U<ited States government is do
ing everything possible for the bene-
fit and comfort of disabled vetera ms
of the world war and that it will con-
tinue to do so.
White House today in answer to a
memorial left with the President yes
terday by a committee of the dis
abled American Veterans Association
complaining of unfair treatment of
veterans in various sections OF the
country.
The high officials of the government
who, answering this charge, stated
that while it is understood that there
are scattered cases where the govern
meRt has not met it's obligations, or
where isabied veterans have gone IN
want. il is known fact which can
be proved by figures that the govern
ment has done much in the matter of
bringing relief to the disabled men. II
was stated that investigation of some
alleged abuses of disabled men proved
that the facts as alleged were entirely
untrue and in error.
1t was explained that ahe hospital
development would be done by the
government and is progressing in a
highly satisfactory manner. 1t was
pointed out. however. that the ques-
tion of handling the cases of the
mental patients is giving the govern
ment much concern. although it is of
the opinion that the use of the vari-
Gus state institutions has proved sat
isfactory and will be continued. at
least, to some extent. OF course, it
realizes that friends and relatives of
disabled men suffering from mental
disorders are opposed to their con-
finement in state institutions. but the
government believes this is necessary
as an emergency solution.

COMPULSORY INSURANCE
BILL MAY BE REPORTED
House District Committee Favors
Fitzgerald's Plan of Workmen's
COMPENSATION,

Chairman Focht of the House Dis
trict committee has called a meeting
Friday TO consider reporting the Fitz-
gerald workmen's compensation bill.
the committee yesterday having de-
cided by vote of 6 to S IN favor Of
the principle of the Fitzgerald as
against the Enderhill bill. The Fitz-
gerald bill provides for compulsory
insurance. the fund to be administered
by an existing government agency so
that all the money contributed in as
sessments by the employers will go
for the benefit of the employe. The
fight against the Fitzgerald measure
was on the ground that it would ex-
clude from the District independent
accident insurance companies.
