ing Those who disagree with them are
entitled to the same privilege. And the
bonus army" men admit it.
One cannot help but be impressed with
the earnestness of these men. and admire
the straightforward manner in which
they are conducting themselves in the
present circumstances.
Their camp may lack many things
that a well-OTganiZed military camp
should have. 1t is shy on fancy stuff
but long on discipline. of that there can
be no doubt.
These men are not radicals 'Wob-

leaders will convince one of that. They
are patriotic American citizens now as
much as they were when they served
their country in 1917-l8. They are ser
ious and they want the goodwill of the
communities through which they are
passing.
1t may be true that there are drones
in this army. There is certain to be in
any group of its size. But it is unfair
TO condemn all because one holds the
thought that some are undeserying We
dare say the majority of these men are
deserving Of assistance. One can be-
lieve them misguided in their efforts to
obtain the bonus, but the fact remains
that many Of them wanting work, have
not been able to get it for months and
their plight is desperate
From what has been observed of them
since their arrival here, there is nothing
TO their discredit. They are orderly, as
clean as facilities will permit, and as
presentable as their diminished cash al

that their present course of conduct will
make them new friends here, and if con-
tinued across the country as they

The name of Keane has been
known for quality meat packing
since 1854, when the firm, Thomas
T. Keant, Washington Dressed
Beef, was formed by Mr.. Thomas
T. Keane.
Upon the death of the elder
Mr.. Keane in 1904, his son sue
ceeded to the business and formed
a corporation, T. T. Keane Com
pany, Inc.
Mr.. Michael A. Keane was born
in 1871. After the death of his
father and the formation of the
corporation, he was elected presi'
dent of the T. T. Keane Company,
Inc, in 1904, holding that posi-
ton until July, 1928, when the
business was sold to Adolph Co.
bel, Inc, of New York.
GROWTH OF FIRM
AS president and general man.
ager of the firm, his duties con-
sisted of purchasing live stock,
supervising the killing and direct
ing the sales.
So great did his ability and
knowledge of meats become and
his understanding of the pur-
chaser and markets, that his firm,
with original assets of $500, 900,
grew to become over a $4,000, 900
corporation at the time of its re-
linquishment to the New York
establishment.
Besides his activity as president
of T. T. Keane Company, Mr..
Keane was also president and gen.
eral manager of the Washington
Abatoire Company, which was DUR
chased by Goebel at the same time
as the Keane tranSference.
Michael Keane succeeded his
father on the board of the En-
terprise Serial Building AsSocia-
ton in 1904, a position which he
still holds; and for 20 years he
has been a director of the Ma
tional Bank of Washington.
He was one of the first men,
bers of the Washington Board
of Trade, and one of the first
Knights Of Columbus in the city.
Retires From Business
After the sale of the T. T.
Keane Company, Inc, in 1928.
Mr.. Keane retired from active
business for two and a half years
until January /. 1882. when, at
his sons request, he became vice
president and treasurer of the
Southern Hotel Supply Company.
founded by his son, T. T. Keane.
in 1929.
This firm benefits from the
knowledge of three generations
Of men intimately acquainted
with all the intricacies of meats
and markets whose inspiration
has been and is quality and
service.
The Southern Hotel Supply
Company last December moved
into a specially designed unit of
the Union Terminal Market at
Fourth and Morse Streets N. E..
and it is from this $45,000 home
that they conduct over three
quarters Of a million dollars
worth of business a year.
It is under the guidance of Mr..
Michael A. Keane that they are
one of the most financially
sound institutions of their kind
in the city. and it is under the
guidance of hte second Mr.. T. T.
Keane that they deal in only the
finest qualities of meats, and the
choicest cuts.
