WINS C00LIE LABOR BATTLE
American Legion in Queens County,
New York, Obtains Deportation Of
Imported Workmen.

The coolie labor question has always
been considered as one affecting the
Pacific coast alone. But this is not the
case, according to recent newspaper
accounts. Had it not been for a post
Of the American Legion, such cheap
labor would be turning out goods In q
Long Island IN. 70 factory.
For long time two hundred Chinese
had been employed in certain factories
In Long Island City, but the Legion in
Queens county, headed by the Bliss
vile post, brought pressure to bear on
the federal authorities so that they
swooped down on these factories, ar
rested the men, and placed them on
Ellis Island, where they were later to
be deported.
This action by government officials
eliminated years fight by the for
mer service men, III the face of adj
verse circumstances. Newspaper cob
umns were closed to this gross viola
ton of the federal law, but the daunt-
less Legion men kept hammering away
until their point was carried and the
men were on their way out Of the
country.

~ Tor the benefit of the town and to
guard the flooded area from the nil
laglng OF INSCRIPTIONS persons who
nocked to the stricken district to loot
what the water had left.
An organization was formed in short
order by the Legionnaires and a cor
oon OF guards was thrown about the
water front. Guard shifts were chosen
from 125 volunteers, who performed
this task for three nights until the
mood abated. A battery of field artil-
lery of the National Guard, called out
with the start of the flood, was in the
midst of drive for recruits, and II
was necessary for Legionnaires to fill
the depleted ranks of the organization
to save its members from the strain Of
night and day service.
The Legionnaires' members had un-
derWritten In part a guarantee to q
Chautauqua company before the disas-
ter occurred. Communicating with
Chautauqua officials they obtained re-
lease from their contract and an offer
from the company to stage the pro-

fund.
Now the veterans propose to COOP
crate in plans TO be formulated by
civic organizations working toward
repair of damage caused by the flood
and for permanent relief to persons
who lost their homes and property.

PLAN TO TEACH AMERICANISM
Illinois Legion Commander Arranges
for Broad Campaign During
School Vacation.

Every school child In Illinois will
hear weekly message of American
ism during the school year, according
to announced plans of the Illinois de-
partment of the American Legion, in
accepting an outline of work from
Commander Charles w. Schick of that
state.
Commander Schick plans that every
Legion post in the states 102 counties
will assign certain members of the or
ganization to speak in each school
room in the cities and each school in
country districts every week during
the school year, carrying message of
better citizenship to the youth Of
America.
In this manner the Illinois Legion
man believes that such careful train
Ing aiming toward better understand
ing Of rights and privileges of citizen
ship will result in rapid assimilation
of aliens in the state as well as assist
ing in raising the standard of citizen
ship Of those already in possession Of
these rights.
Cooperation by members of the LIE
gion with churches and other agencies
in preparing citizens for naturaliza-
ton is included in Commander
Schick's plans. Prospective citizens
will receive thorough training In the
requirements for naturalization, so
that the applicant will be familiar
with American history and Institutions
before the final papers are awarded.
Because church life is closer to the
home it is hoped that the Legion,
working through the various denomi-
nations, may realize on this plan for
citizenship.
