STATE LABOR CALL ISSUED

AbrIdsed-WIIl Hold Conference
Harrisburg, July 25.-(By A. P.)-
The Pennsylvania Federation Of Labor
today sent out a call for preliminary
conference at Harrisburg on August 2
for the purpose of considering action
relative to constitutional rights. which
the call alleges have been abridged In
the coal and rail strikes In this State.
Political action, relative to candidates
for public office, who either condone
such methods or are Indifferent to them,
will also be outlined" the call stated.
1T appears that the State and Fed
eral authorities hope to accomplish
through the aid OF the military and
arbitrary judicial powers the call
said, what the National Manufactur-
ers' Association and the Chambers of
Commerce failed to do. viz, crush or
gan.zed labor and establish the closed
shop against union men.
THE stage Is being set for a repe-
tition, in an even more vicious form, of
the reign Of terror, replete with attacks
upon men, women and children, that
characterized the steel strike. Free
speech and free assemblase, the only
means by which organized labor can
continue to exercise Its control over its
membership, have been abridged by the
action Of Governor Sproul in the newly
organized communities.

what the United States is doing for it's

The bureaus activities are confined
10 two States. Pennsylvania and Della

tenth Of the disabled men in the
country.
1t is under the direction Of L, C.,

former captain Of infantry in the war.
and a man who by reason of his sym.
pathy for the disabled soldiers. as well
as his business ability. has developed
the Third District to a point where II
is considered the best in the country by
those officials Of the American Legion
who have dealings with 1t.
The building at 20O0 Arch street, ex-
cept the first floor, Is occupied by the
district and the Philadelphia local
Offices. The latter, where the actual
contact with the veteran soldiers is
held, occupies the two upper floors and
these are fitted out with every kind Of
medical and dental appliances of the
latest model.
The Government expenditure for the
disabled soldiers is estimated at about
$500 900. 900 a year. Of which about
S36. 900 900 is spent in Pennsylvania

to show that the disability was suffered

This organization, said Mr.. Van

unthinking critics who claim that the
Government is forgetting the disabled
soldiers. When it is considered that,
