URGES ONE POLICY
FOR ALL VETERANS
Gen. Hines Tells Medical
Council Treatment in Hos
pitfalls Should Be Uniform.

A national policy to determine the
Governments permanent position ia.
voring equally the veterans of all wars
I should be determined, Director Frank
T. Hines of the Veterans Bureau de.
clared today, in order to obviate COM
, plants now arising that the Govern
ment is treating veterans of different
wars in different fashion.
Addressing the ninth conference of
the medical council of the Veterans
Bureau, Gen. Hines declared necessity
for such general policy was becoming
more urgent because of the fact that
in the Government hospitals veterans
of the Civil War, Spanish and World
Wars were finding out that the Gov
eminent was not treating them alike.
Il believe" said Gen. Hines, that
we should have a national policy con-
corning veterans, which could not be
changed every time we have war, re-
Sulting in inequalities for the wounded.
believe in generously favoring all, but
this national policy should be the same
for all. There is no reason for treating
the veteran of one war better than the
veteran of another war"
Other Problems Discussed.
Gen. Hines also recommended that
all problems of veterans relief and all
agencies concerning veterans should be
consolidated in one Government agency
TO enable the President and Congress
TO get more complete picture of what
should be done.
The total sum appropriated by Con-
ereSs for various veteran agencies dur
ing the past year. he said, amounted to
Sis, 100000. This, he emphasized,
showed the need for serious considera-
ton Of more coordination.
Plans for improving medical service
OF the bureau were proposed by Gen.
Hines and DR.. E. o. CroSsman, medical
director. who disclosed that a new bill
had been prepared for study, providing
for establishment of medical service
under a definite salary range and with
provisions for regular increase in SAL
AIRY as we'll as retirement for disability.
More Medical Aid Needed.
Without rejecting upon the present
medical personnel of the bureau, Gen.
Hines said some step was necessary to
provide larger supply of well trained
doctors for the increasing demand and
new hospitals. He asked the Medical
Council for an answer, if possible, to
the question as to why there was such
keen competition among young doctors
III PooltlOIls dS llCelLeS III some CIVILIAN
hospitals, including this city. whereas
the bureau has difficulty in getting in
ternes and was forced to pay them a
higher salary than civilian hospitals.
Progress in the hospital construction
program of the Government was re-
viewed by Gen. Hines, who said that in
January, 1920. only per cent of all
disabled veterans were in Government
hospitals, whereas late statistics show
that June 80 of this year 90 per cent
were in the Governmental hos
pitfalls, only 10 per cent being in leased
beds.

Miners WIVES
BEAR BABIES IN
FLIMSY NOVELS
In Extreme Need Of
Medical Aid

AVELLA, Pa, Aug. 10. - An
epidemic of babies is expected in the
barracks and tent colony in the
outskirts of Avella. Mrs. Mary
Groves is expecting her eighth baby
Mrs. Andy Barro her sixth, Mrs.
Fred Siders her third, all within the
next few weeks.
In tents supplied by the National
Miners Relief Committee serving as
the maternity ward" many infants
have already arrived. The greatest
problem facing the women of Avella,
is how to secure doctors aid.
Throughout the strike fields, desti-
tute miners families are refused
medical help unless money is paid
in advance. Another problem is
getting clothes for the new infants
as we'll as the other children who
run about barefoot, in remnants of
old dresses. How TO stretch the food
sent by the National Miners Relief
Committee to feed all the hungry
mouths for whole week is a cons
tant problem.
Berry Patch Guarded.
When the children tried to sup
plement the meager fare by picking
berries from the patches on the
outskirts of the tent colony, armed
guards were on hand to chase them
away. "This is company property, /"
their parents were warned, "and YOU
know what we can do to ANYBODY
who trespasses."
But the immediate problem, the
problem which is alarmingly urgent
to the Avella women, is the raising

potatoes and milk for the children.
Mothers Appeal.
Special donation must be sent to
the relief headquarters within the
next few days to insure this ex
tremely necessary care for the
strikers wives. They have endured
the hardship of living in tents or
barracks, sometime not eating any,
thing for days, during many long
months. But now, these mothers
send an urgent call to women in
other cities to come to their aid by
sending what they can spare to the
relief headquarters, Gil Penn Ave-
nue., Pittsburgh, Pa. Do not fail us
now, is their plea.
