LABOR AND LEGION ALLIED
Member of Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers Decries Efforts
of Propagandists.

Declaring that no two American
movements are more thoroughly allied
than the American Legion and organ
lied labor, Frank Wenig, prominent
member of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers in Iowa. and senior vice
commander of the Legion in that state.
decried efforts of propagandists to di-
vert the purposes of the two organized
forces.
Vice Commander Wenigs statement
was made during the course of joint
meeting of members of the State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor and of the Legion in
Ottumwa, Ia.
The speaker denounced the efforts of
certain interests to lead labor unions
Into the belief that the Legion men
were willing and would serve as strike
breakers. He cited recent incidents in
Denver, Colo, where, in face of a
threatening strike of street railway
employees, announcement was made
that the members of the Legion would
man the cars in event of a walkout.
This, the Legion men held as false
propaganda, emanating from capital
lists who seek to forestall any alliance
between labor and the Legion.
On many questions, declared Wenig
are the two organizations allied. He
referred to the prohibition Of child
labor, concerning which both the
American Federation Of Labor and the
American Legion announced similar
programs by action of national con-
ventions. He cited the policies Of the
two bodies as allied on the immigra-
ton question, which he said was a
more serious threat against the ma
| tional entity than any other, labor see
ing in continued entrance of aliens a
possible system of wage slavery, and
the Legion anticipating a high pei
cent of people who were willing to live
In the nation, but not to fight for it.
Th endorsement of the adjusted com
pensation bill by the American Fedora
ton of Labor, Wenig declared, clearly
showed the sentiments of labor in
that direction, while 1.-The $4,000 mil
lionaires made during the war were
the chief opponents of the BILL" he

LEeIoN's NATIONAL CHAPLAIN
Rev. Ezra C. clemans, Known an
"Padre," Has Seen Long
Military Service.

1t was on the Mexican border that
Ezra G. Clemans, national chaplain of
the American Legion, won the title Of
Padre" which has chung to him
throughout the years Of the World war
and up to the time of his selection as
new chaplain of the veterans organi-
cation.
For 81 years, Chaplain Clemans has
given service to the military organiza-
tions of his state and nation. He gradu-
uated from Shattuck school, a semi
military academy in his home state Of
Minnesota. in his nineteenth year, and
in the same year enlisted as a private
In the Faribault Guards, an organization
Of that city. His early training was ex-
pected to fit him for life work as a
physician, but q visit to revival meet
ing and conversion there. led to a
change Of destiny and conservation Of
his life to the clergy.
At the opening of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war. he became chaplain with the
rank of captain, and served with the
Twelfth Minnesota regiment through
out that war.
For six months In 1916, Chaplain
Clemans spent his time with Mime
sofa guardsmen on the Mexican bor-
der. 1t was there that the men learned
to call him Padre" At the outbreak
of the World war he entered federal
service as chaplain with the rank of
To-.
Hundred and Thirty-sixth infantry.
On arrival overseas he became chap
lain of the Seventh Aviation center at
Aunalt, an important air service sta
ton, later to be named as senior chap
lain of the intermediate section, S. o.
S. On his return to The United States,
he remained with the Fifty-eighth in
fantry until that organization was de-
mohilized in October, 1919 AS mem

Plea for Patriotism.

A plea for active cooperation be-
tween the American Legion posts Of
the nations and the schools to keep
alive patriotism has been made by
Superintendent James J. Reynolds OF
the Flatbush q. L. schools In max
Ing this plea, the educator requested
that the veterans organization pursue
a certain course in order to encourage
patriotic observance. One of these
suggestions was that a Legion speaker
be present at every school on pa
triotic occasions, and that each new
school be presented with flag from
the Legion posts because the men OF
that body represent highly patriotic
portion of the population. Superin-
tendent Reynolds further suggested
that the history OF each Legion post,
particularly in regard to the deeds Of
its members in service, be presented
to the schools in order that such rec
ords. may be retained for patriotic
study in years to come.

Finds Jobs for Many Veterans.

A total of 4,194 jobs were found for
veterans in Kansas City, Mo-, by the
employment committee of the Ameri-
can Legion, according to recent re-
port submitted to the organization. At
least 400 of the men thus employed
are in permanent positions as result
of the Legion's efforts in placement.
According to the figures nearly 1000
of the positions found for the former
service men were permanent positions,
the remainder representing the short
time jobs which are usually afforded
veterans Of more or less transient
character These jobs, committee
members declare, have permitted many
men to retain their self-respect, be
cause the work forestalled requests
for charity or relief.
