War Time Mayor
 Speaks To Vets
Urges Them to Use Their POwer-Open Meeting of
 James McNamee Post in East Bristol

 James McNamee Post, D. A. ". at Malone's camp in East Bristol last Saturday, Attorney Joseph F. Dut- ton. wartime mayor of this city urged the veterans to make use of all their power coming from their participation in the war. He stated. ..Friendship is wonderful thing, but influence is the thing that really counts
 He said: You fellows are going to just as important as you yourselves and you are in a position to make your power felt. During the past few days, many men have appealed to me to get work for them. have been able to find work for a few, but how much more an organiza- ton like your can do."
 1T do not believe that the veter- ans should have all the positions, but I certainly believe they should be given their share. When you went to warm you were told that you would be received with open arms when you returned"
 This q crisis now and it is the time to repay the veterans. If there is job with the state police, or if in Bristol. they want an investiga- tor for the charity department or something else, the veterans should be given preference.
 "I would suggest that you men appoint a committee to confer with the mayor and the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce in an effort to secure work for not only disabled but all veterans of the World War.
 Commander Speaks.
 State Commander Edward Kelly uf Meriden addressed the veterans and said: During the last year. the DAY, has accomplished more than any other organization in this state through the efforts of it's state and chapter offices. If you wish to reach the heights where you belong every member must cooperate.
 If you stop and realize that in Connecticut alone there are hun lreds of compensation cases, on which no action has yet been taken sou will see the work that IS yet to he done.
 'Always keep your organization clean. Let the public see what you are working for just what you were organized, to help needy veterans. Because you do not like a veteran is no reason to knock him, right orr wrong, he is comrade.
 If he is behind the bars, it is because he has broken some law. but when he was needed, he re- sponded. Let us all be men and let personal spite and feeling be somc- thing outside the order. State sen- ior-vice commander, Pete Nugent, of West Haven, stated that the or ganization work of the veterans in that city had resulted in the ap pointment of veterans nearly every commission in that city.
