VETERANS PROTEST
BARGE WORK COST
Suggest Gwen" Distribution of
Charity Foot Ball Game
Money.

Protest against the Use of $4,000 OF
the receipts from the Coast Guard
Marine benefit foot ball game, for
labor in connection with the unloading
of the bargeS sent here from the Marine
Base at Quantico with free wood for
the poor, was voiced today by the
District of Columbia Department, No. l,
Veterans of Foreign Wars, in letter
addressed to the newspapers.
Stating that the Commissioners
Committee on Unemployments Funds
are limited, the letter suggests that they
should make as even a distribution of
the funds as possible" There is no
direct suggestion that the funds be
given to the veterans organization for
distribution; but the suggestion as to
even" distribution Is Immediately fol-
lowed up by the suggestion that those
needing wood should unload the barges
without charge, and that the $4,000 thus
saved could be used "for the purchase
OF food, necessary clothing, coal, pay
ment of rent and other items" Then
follows the statement that the Veterans
of Foreign Wars, which has an Office in
the Colorado Building, is willing to sup
ply such benefits, although it gets no
money from the Community Chest, its
funds being limited to moneys received
from the Armtstice day ball and the
poppy sale.
The Unemployment Committee had
at first considered distributing the
funds from the foot ball game much
along the lines suggested, through char
liable organizations, but after a thor
ough discussion, the committee decided
to make a more direct attack on I'M
employment by employing men in I'M
loading the bargeS and spending money
on the Districts unemployment service,
housed at 480 Louisiana avenue.
