a reality to American ex-service
 men, so far as the utilization with ! French, British and Canadian veter-
 ans were concerned, through the appearance of representatives from veterans associations in those coun- ties. Military leaders from Belgium
 and Italy recalled other bonds of
 comradeship, but the worldwide or
 ganization of service men was still
 in a rather visionary state, best known probably by the French, who had entered into it's spirit in their re- ception of ."The Second A. E. F."
 during a tour designed largely to call attention to interallied comradeship. Then came the second information al convention of the federation in
 Paris in December, 1921. The out standing achievements at this meet ing were the strengthening of the machinery of organization and the reinforcement of the feders.tion's pledge to maintain apart from poli- tical tendencies the bonds of frater- nal comradeship forged between Allied combattants on the battle fields" with the additional declara- ti"r "!o strengthen more and more the eatrnte cordiale between Allied nations by making the government understand that the veterans ;gnrre the difficulties and mi3understand- ing5 of politics and to remain closely fauhfuI 70 the friendship senlcd bc fore the common danger upJn fields of battle.' The American d"lega tlon, headed by Col. Cahct Ward. first vIce-rresident of the nterallied federation, took the lead :n the con- rentio ri were in larg, measure for these accomplish nents
 To comp ere the transition If the federation into a recognized organi- | zation in which the Legion would be | an active and leading member, the | third international convention of the | Federation International des Anciens | Combattants, or "Fidac" as it has | become known, will be brought to | New Orleans in\ conjunction with the | fourth annual Legion convention. At | the close of these sessions an alliance | is expected which will not only per petuate a fine sense of comradeship | but will go far in insisting upon jus tice in international relations and permanent world peace.
 H. Nelson Jackson, national vice of the Legion, repre- sented the organization at the last national convention of the British Legion and close Jason has been with the Great War Vet erans of Canada, in keeping with the policy of relations with foreign vet erans. The number of representa- ives from foreign veterans societies expected to attend the fourth na- ;ional convention of the Legion is from thirty-five to fifty.

AGAINST PLAN TO
CUT RAIL WAGES
jewell Says Workers Family Needs
S2,636.97 a Year
ONLY RAREST MINIMUM
Head of Shop Crafts Union Is Heard
by the Railroad Labor
Board

Chicago, March 2S.-Industries
should use the same principle in sup
plying energy to their employees as in
supplying coal under their boilers, B
M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts
unions, told the Railroad Labor Board
today in presenting q budget reuuir-
ing $2,636.97 year for sustaining a
working mans family.
America, with such productive
power and such natural resources
should afford all her workers more
than a shabby existence" he declared
in continuing his fight against wage
TO secure what his budget provides,
however, he said railroad mechanics
must earn 40 per cent more than at
present.
"But the railroads propose to cut
wages again." he said. "Instead of
70 per cent of the budget which rail
road mechanics are now able to pur-
chase, under the cut they will be able
to buy only about one-half of the
budget. Do the railroads propose to
put their employees on the blockade
ration of Germany during the war;"
Mr.. JEWELS budget, he said, was
based on an average railroad me-
chanic's family. 1t provided, he as
serted, no more than q "Sance sup
ply of food and only the barest
minimum in other respects" The
food menus would furnish the wage
Garner 4,140 calories day. The
$2,63697 family budget, he said, was
about $500 more than the Department
of Labor's budget.
Less Than Budget
Under the 67h cents an hour rate
which the railroads propose, me-
chanic can make $1,651.4O year,
$1,000 less than the amount necessary
to purchase the essentials listed in
the budget" he said.
90 Then there is the rate of 40 cents
an hour proposed for helpers. With
not an hour of regular working time
missed this means annual earnings of
$4,000. The allowance for food of
$383.20 provides 10 cents meal for
the man and 6 cents daily for the
Youngest child. For clothing $3.50 is
allowed.
every article of clothing must
wear from two to three times as long
as is contemplated in the budget pre-
pared by the economies for the rail
