| 6 was after the American Legion
had taken up the case, The claim
then lay dormant until May 6, when
Senator Bingham interceded in his
behalf, and again it was dlsallowed,
on May ~. 1895, through the inter-
Cesslon of this organization, the case
was connected with the service, and
the man was allowed compensation
retroactive to December so. 1924,
This Is only one more instance
which tends to show the closeness
with which this organization has fol-
lowed up the eases of these men, and
IL only one of hundreds of cases
which have been adJudicated by
them.
with further reference TO Mr..
Warmers remarks, that he felt that
my communication was direct slap
in the face" to the eX-serVicemen,
in the council, | wish to state that
this remark Is either a rank dccep-
ton or suhtcrfuge. He knows well
that the only man of the alderman
special committee which made the
report on the matter in question,
" no voted in favor OF renting the
fec, was Alderman Maerz, himself an
.eX- scrViceman.
In my letter. pointed out that
the city of New Britain, il 1t saw fit
TO do so, could secure from the
state OF Connecticut refund Of s400
representing money expended by
them for the care OF the comrade to
whom ] referred in my communica-
ton, which they saw fit to ignore.
My communication was plea
that they remit the fee which the
city charged the Veterans OF Foreign
Wars amounting to about $3.50. For
some reason the city could not af-
ford to remit this amount, and yet
they saw fit, or rather the repnbli-
can members OF the council saw tit,
to consign an opportunity to save
the city $400 to the waste basket.
However, | believe that the fore
going will be sufficient at this time,
but you may rest assured that | shall
take issue with the leaders of the
republican forces, MeSsrs. Judd,

When 1t is considered that fruit
is grown throughout large areas
elsewhere and that competition in
the fruit business is as lively as
gridirons during a football game,
the feat OF the California gentle
men grows larger. California fruit
this fall has dominated the New

can scarcely avoid wondering how
it Is possible to raise so much of it
in one state, ship 1t more than g.

COMMUNICATED
James ID. McKcnna Expresses Fur
thcr Opinion Of Common
Council.

The attitude assumed by the COM
mon council of the city of New
Britain, with regard to my COM
'munication protesting their failure
to refund the carnival fee paid by
the local chapter of the Veterans Of
Foreign Wars for carnival held I'M
der their auspices during the past
summer, Is exactly what ] anticipat-
ed, having in mind at the same time
the treatment accorded Major
Thomas J. Bannigan, representing
the government, when lie requested
the privilege Of the council floor
about one year ago, in behalf Of a
disa blcd veteran in the city's en-
ploy. II is apparent that their atti-
tude has not changed.
However, I believe It Is for the
best, as it affords me an opportunity
to bring the plight Of the wounded
apd disabled veterans to the attcn-
ton Of the public at large.
Mr. Warner, according to tho Rec
ord is an -scrviccman himself. and
is quoted as having stated that the
United States government has made
ample provisions for the care OF
these disabled men, which is quite
true, but Mr.. Warner, either through
ignorance or malice, failed to advise
his non-scrvice colleagues, who prob
ably are not as we'll informed as he
regarding veteran legislation, that
the burden of proof has at all times
rested on the veteran. The writer
is willing to give the details OF scores
.or cases where these unfortunatos
have been battling the government
for the past six years. without re-
suit, even though most Of the veter-
ans organizations, the American Rcd
Cross. congressman and senators had
exhausted all efforts In order that
this NAV be brought out more fully,
I wish to cite a few typical cases.
This condition, YOU realize, is not the
fault of the Veterans bureau, but
rather that part Of the law which
places the burden Of proof on the
vet cran. and makes il absolutely
necessary that veterans organi2a-
tions carry on.
I have in mind a veteran who
shortly after his discharge. filed
claim with the government because
Of disability contracted in service.
This disability resulted in a condi-
ton which nccessitated having the
mans left leg amputated on May IT,,
1924. His case was several times
disallowed by the Veterans bureau,
oven though it had been referred to
the board Of appeals, in response to
the efforts Of the American Legion
and American Rcd Cross. At the
