AMERICAN LEGION DRIVE
INSPIRES POLISH PEOPLE

Indianapolis, Ind CA. P.)-The sue
ment campaign for former service
men has received recognition of The
Polish government which is reins
guided now in preventing unemploy
ment by the ideas of the Americans.
A letter Of thanks has been receiv.
ed at national headquarters of tht
legion from T. Hoinko, commercial
department manager of the consulate
general, Chicago.
More than 100000 today are in per
manent employment as one result oi
the drive in the United States, it was
state. The results of the first week
showed that more than 100000 for
mer service men were employed il
some way or other Today in many
parts of the country there are de-
mands made upon the American Le-
gion for workers.
The steps taken in the legion cam
paign, as outlined to the Polish re-
public, were summarized as follows !.
First a national census was tax
en- to ascertain how many former
service men were out of employment
"Then the aid of all national or
ganizations of a civic, patriotic, COM
mercial and religious nature were So
licited.
"The situation was brought before
the public through the assistance OF
newspapers and magazines.
"a day was adopted to start the
campaign, March Fl, 1922, called the
American Legion Employment Day.
Proclamations were issued by federal ,
state and municipal officials whose
cooperation was solicited through the
various agencies.
"a united drive through publicity
was begun Everyone was urged to
provide work, at least of temporary
nature, by painting up and cleaning
up.
The results Of the campaign were
constantly kept before the public, and
where one community fell down, spec
ial effort was made from national
Headquarters to help it out. The
SNOWFALL started rolling, grew into
an avalanche and the period of de-
preston passed.

STUDENTS NEED
ACCOMMODATIONS
UNIVERSITY is ENDEAVORING TO
GET ADEQUATE HOUSING
FACILITIES

Demands for houses, apartments,
furnished and unfurnished, and rooms
are pouring into the university ac-
cording to reports from the presi-
dents office, and the problem of Sc
curing adequate quarters for the en-
rollment for the fall term is assum-
ing proportions
Fourteen hundred students are ex-
pected this winter and the administra-
}tion of the university is making every
effort to securing housing
facilities for the increased enrolment
Despite the increased accommoda-
tions that are being made at Lindley
hall, by the addition of a third story,
and other arrangements being made,
the contemplated enrolment is put
ting demands upon the university that
have not heretofore been felt.
With three hundred more students
to be enrolled this year than last, the
| figures compiled by the publicity de-
partment, which has charge of the en-
rollment, a much larger demand will
be made upon the townspeople who
will cooperate IN supplying quarters
for students.
Houses, apartments, and board and
room accommodations are all needed
according to the president. Numer-
GUS families move into town requir-
ing houses, other students seek Eight
housekeeping apartments and large
proportion Of the students secure
board and room at private homes.
Three Hundred More Students
Last year elevn hundred students
were cared for by the dormitories,
group houses and city folks. But an
influx of three hundred brings the
problem of housing up to much great
er dimensions. The improvements at
Lindley hall will afford lodging for
approximately fifty or sixty more men
students but will be woefully made
quate.
The great number of students not
residing in any of the dormitories or
group houses will have to look to the
city for lodging and board. And 1t
is in this field that the university is
making every effort to connect the
students with available room and
board.
The bursar's office at the university
is acting as clearing house for all
rooms, houses or apartments that
that may be let and the townspeople
are asked to list their Accommodations
with that office.
"Those who have houses, cooms, or
apartments to let out this winter may
easily get in touch with tenants and
can be assured of liberal rental for
their property" stated President Up
ham, when asking people to cooper
ate with the university in taking care
of the fourteen hundred students who
are expected.

P0TLATCH MAN
GETS in BAD
GIRLS CHARGE USE OF VULGAR
LANGUAGE STIFF FINE AS
SESSED AND PAID

sEmanual Arnold, a young man from
Potlatch, about "a years OF age, was
fined S155 40 in Justice w. G.. Barge's
court Monday afternoon, on a charge
of disturbing the peace. In the com
plant it was alleged that Arnold had
used vulgar and idecent language
in the presence of ladies. The fine
was paid and the young man left for
home after having spent several
hours in the county jail.
The complaint was made to the
authorities by two Moscow girls
whose names were withheld. 1t
seems that these girls had accOmpan-
led Arnold for ride Sunday night.
and it was during this ride that he
used vulgar language. 1t was claim
ed further, that he attempted an as
sault, but his efforts were frustrated,
and that he then slapped one of the
girls and made both get out of the
car and returned to town leaving the
girls several miles out in the country.
The girls, according to the story,
secured the services of someone to
bring them to town and at once nOti-
fled the authorities. Night Policeman
Stanley arrested Arnold about two
o'clock, County Attorney Nisbet was
notified about three o'clock md at five
o'clock Monday morning the young
man was doing time in the county jail.
BY Monday evening he had decided
that he would prefer his liberty, and
paid his fine.
1t is said that the alleged assault
was committed on the Washington
side Of the state line, putting the
young man beyond the reach of the
Idaho authorities on this charge,
while his vulgar language, which left
him open to the charge of disturbing
the peace, was distributed pretty
much all along the way, on both sides
of the state line.
The feeling is that the girls are to
be congratulated on the nerve and
good sense shown in reporting the
case to the authorities, so that the
young man might be taught lesson

RAILROADS ARE
OVER-GOVERNED


Spokane, Wash, CA. P.)-Many per-
sons suppose that the railroads were
turned back to their owners and man
ayers in 1920, but "this is only one
of the half-truths that will not bear
investigation" declared Charles Dill
on, assistant to the chairman Of the
western committee on public relations
of the Association of Railway execu-
tixes, n address before the chamber
of commerce here today.
Mr.. Dillon also asserted that moth
ing could be farther from the truth"
than the impression that the railways
"are trying to break down the unions,
and that they are eager to reduce
the mems wages"
"The truth is we have about all
the government in the railroads right
now that the business will stand. It
is the government which says what
the rates are to be and how much the
roads may be permitted to earn if
they can do it; it is the government
which CONTROLS wages and it controls
the conditions under which the men
shall work. All the reports are made
and the bookkeeping of the railroads
is done according to the rules of the
United States government through the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
upon forms prescribed by that COM
mission There is scarcely any item
of management not directly under the
ington or Chicago.
1--WE are now facing an entirely new
order, new labor condition. When
~ Do. To1, ,o,>
Board made the largest advance in
wages ever recorded, amounting, in
deed, to more than $720,000, 900 year,
the railroads accepted the decision
without resistance. The men at that
time did not question the jurisdiction
of the board in making this enormous
advance.
"The railrods promised, last Octob-
er, to pass on to the public in reduced
rates any savings in operating ex-
penses resulting from wage cuts.
Rates have been reduced since last
January $400, 900, $265, 900, 900, APP
proximately, more than wages have
been cut, based on the earnings IN
1921, or $500,0O0,O00 if we compare
with 1920.
eff total earnings do not increase
very materially, the rate reductions
and the recent wage cuts will allow
the roalroads about 31a per cent on
their valuation There is a difference
of about $443,000,OO0 between this
81 per cent and the 5A per cent
which the Interstate Commerce Com
mission says the roads may earn
3If the net return from your bust
ness were reduced as the net return
sof the roads has been you probably
would close it out.
"Your business will prosper large
1y according to the volume the roads
can handle promptly. The whole
present controversy, therefore, be-
comes as much your concern as it is
the concern of the railroads, because
unless investors are assured reas-
enable reward new capital will not be
available and without this it will not
be possible to provide adequate facil-
tiles.
"The tie that binds this people to-
gether in national unity is the roal-
road tie and if it isn't kept in good
repair the neglect can easily create
a national calamity for which every
man and every family will have to
pay"
The public, the speaker said, viii be
benefited by the recent rate reduc-
tions, in part, are reflected in lower
prices instead of in increased profits.
