100000 PLACED
BY LEGION IN
FIRST 3 DAYS

Approximately 100000 former service
men have been placed in positions since
Monday when the bi gnatiOnal drive Of
the American Legion to find jobs for un
employed veterans got under way, accord
ing to G. w. Powell, assistant national
Americanism director of the legion.
Mr.. Powell said the first figures avail
able show that the greatest results have
been obtained in industrial centers. This
is highly pleasing to legion officials as
it was in these places that the situation
has been acute.
Telegrams have been sent out to every
State In the Union asking what results
had been obtained during the first three
days Of the drive.
Reports from Washington were to the
effect that the situation in that city was
not at all gdave and that few service men
were out of employment.
Maryland reported that the situation in
tha State had been relieved apprec1ably
o nthe first day of the campaign.
Locally the most encouraging results
are being obtained, although exact
figures will not be available until the
end of the week according to officials
Of the Marion County council Of the
legion. The distribution of service flags,
with a star for every man employed. is
proceeding rapid yamong business con-
Germs and they are beginning to appear
in windows of business houses through
out the city. The distribution has been
ut the rate of several hundred flags q
day.
No definite date for ending the drive
has been set, legion officials declaring
it will not be brought to an end until
every former service man Is placed In
Job.

Coal Strike to Find Utilities

Days, Managers Report.

Effects OF the nationwide strike Of
union coal miners called for April 1
may not be felt in indianapolis for a
period Of sixty days and perhaps for
a much longer time, in the belief OF
officials of indianapolis public utilities

Neither the Indianapolis Light and

encounter any serious difficulty on the
basis Of their April 1 supply, inside Of

Although officials Of the Indian.

citizens committee Investigating the
financial condition Of the utility that
the West Washington street power
house Is "antedated and that all
that could be realized on 1t would be
the salvage" the company lists the
power house at a value Of $1,173,-
942.93 in the inventory Of properties
upon which it is permitted by the
public service commission to make
return. This is one Of the state
ments made in report of the sub.
committee to Mayor Samuel Lewis
Shank today.
The committee was appointed by J.
Stephen FuIen, chairman Of the executive
committee Of the general committee, about
three weeks ago. 1t was to probe the
utility's books. 1t reported today that
it feels the need Of an expert auditor
to go into the COmpany's accounts and
askse tn mayor to help it get $500 with
which to employ such service.
The mayor called in the citizens COM
mittee a month ago to ASCERTAIN If the
street railway company needs the finan-
cial relief its officers say It does.

totaled s645.O6704, the report says.
OFFICIALS Of the indianapolis Street Rail-
way Company contend that the bonded
Indebtedness has nothing to do with
rates. However. the committee is of the
opinion that such a burden materially
affects the net earnings Of the COM
pany, incidentally impedes the expendi-
ture Of money in other channels, such
as enumerated under the heading Of
construction expenditures

The company has been building up its
supply systematically for the past three
or four months in anticipation of the
strike. It was stated

The indianapolis Light and Heat Com
pany. according to c. c. Perry, presi-
dent, has a supply of coal now that will
last under normal conditions ninety
days from April !, and will last longer
If the demand increases he stated.
The Citizens Gas Company is in shape
to weather a considerable length of time
without coal production, according to
Frederick G. Rastenberg, secretary.
The Gas Company has a supply to
meet Its needs at the present time OF
sixty days from April T." he stated.
And we do not anticipate any total In
ability to obtain coal after that time"
The Indianapolis Water Company is In
fine condition to meet the lack of coal
which may result from the miners' strike,
Frank Jordan, secretary declared.
I'VE have sixty -hve days supply at
present and by April 1 this will be in
creased to a supply Of seventy five or
eighty days" he said. I'VE cannot fore
see that the strike possibly can interfere

DOMESTIC CONSUMERS
