through the train, stripping the passengers of all

Letters to
The Editor

TO THE EDITOR:
WE, IN the "voiceless rank
w and file of labor" do
strenuously object to any legis-
lation that will abolish or alb
breviate those standards OF
industrial freedom so para
mount in our every day life,
and we wish to take issue with
you regarding the very confus-
ing editorial, j. e., SENATE
S H OULD ACT NOW ON
SMITH ANTT-STRIKE BILL Of
March %.
In the first place, we cannot
conceive Of, you placing so
much unreserved confidence in a
poll conducted by the misguided
Doctor Gallup, for in 81 per cent
of the polls managed by this
gentleman the reverse is usually
the case.
In the second place, we are at
a loss to understand why you, a
public servant, should cry for
legislation to govern ALL
LABOR LEADERS. when not
long ago the government threat
ened to govern the national
press with laws to throttle
publication of items detrimental
to our national safety.
Did you not, with all the rest,
promise a form of suppression
without legislation? The infer
ence is unrefutable.
In the third place. we under
stand what category TO place a
writer under, when he or she
begins to draw a veil of implica-
tions over the efforts of our
President and labor's chosen
representatives.
OF course we understand that
this is a common procedure to
rid ones self of the frustrated
venom of petulance.
What more does this nation
owe you, that you should envi-
sion a complete rupture among
the "voiceless rank and file of
labor?"
You are not applying a cor
receive ointment.
In the fourth place, organized
labor has instituted an educa-
tional system that tends to
acquaint us with the power of
the ballot franchise, and in
exercising this constitutional
privilege we shall speak in a
manner that shall leave no
doubt in the minds of editorial
writer's as to their meaning.

sents 100000 people from the

Leqion Debate: Should II
Include World War Il Men?
BY DAMON RUNYON

1t has 1889 posts In SO de-
partments, these figures being
furnished by no less an author
ity than Walter Naughton.
whose Legion column, Squads
Right is a famous feature Of
the Los Angeles Examiner.
Now then. those favoring the
Legion membership for the new
soldiers argue that this is
merely a continuation of their
old World War. They also argue
that many now serving the
colors are sons of Legionnaires
and that they would like TO be-
long to the same post as their
fathers. Furthermore, they told
that the new crop, would have
the advantage of the solid
Legion tradition and present
setup.
THE Legion has approximately
L S24,00O.000 worth of club
houses and other property, all
paid for. Those who favor the
younger crop coming in say it
would take them long time to
reach this status. They also
point out that the kids ideals
are the same as those of the
founders of the Legion - Ito
safeguard and transmit to pos
terity the principles of justice,
freedom and democracy"
Those who oppose opening the
membership of the Legion. argue
that the youngsters might not
fit in with the older members
that they would not have the
same spirit, the same pastimes
and the same ideas. They think
the Legion should remain as it
is, a last mans outfit. in which
the last member figures to check
out in the late 1905.
They say the kids would prob
ably want an organization of
their own. anyway. So the de-
bate RACES up and down and
back and forth in the Legion
ranks and the outcome remains
to be seen.
WHEN this war ends, there
w may be more former serv-
ice men in the United States
than at the close of the war
that gave birth to the Legion.
II is conceivable that over TO-
000,00 men may actually be in
Quoted into the service and OF
this number millions will neces-
sarily fight on foreign soil. be-
cause that is where the war is
and will be kept.
A combination of all these
men with the Legion would
probably produce the most DOW
erful organization for any pur-
pose in the history of any
country.

7 OS ANGELES. April I've
- are informed that the most
widely discussed and the hottest
question in the American Legion
today is whether the Legion will
open its membership to the new
crop of soldiers, sailors and
marines.
II would require a change in
the Legion's national constitu-
ton and bylaws to open the
membership. 1t is probable that
the question will come up at the
national convention in New Or
leans and that vote may be
taken then. 1t could not be voted
on before the convention and
meantime the debate RACES pro
and con among the veterans.
When the Legion was formed,
the constitution provided that
membership would be open only
to those who served in the armed
forces in World War l. Of
course, the founders, like every
one else, thought that all wars
were over at that time and never
gave thought to the possibility
of another of any magnitude.
THE Veterans of Foreign Wars,
L on the other hand, kept its
membership wide open. This is
an organization of old soldiers
who saw service on any foreign
soil or on United States naval
vessel that touched foreign wa
tiers during "a recognized cam
paign of the United States" Up
TO now, the VIEW has taken
membership out of the Spanish
American War. the Boxer Rebel
lion, the Philippines Uprising
and the World War I.
Of course, most of its men,
bers today are World War l vet
Grams as the Grim Reaper has
cut great swaths in the ranks
of the survivors of the other
campaigns mentioned, but the
organization could now take in
any man who has been in Ire
land. Iceland. the Philippines
Australia or any other foreign
place or has been on boat
which touched these waters. AS
a matter of fact. we are told
some have already been taken in.
BECAUSE of the foreign serv-
- ice restriction, the member
ship of the VIEW is only about
100000. while the Legion has
gone to 1,115,000, as of last year,
and will top that this year as
il is now more than 100000
ahead of 1871. The VIEW never
took in the girls-yeomanettes,
marine corps clerks or nurses.
as the Legion did, and has no
womens membership. The
Legion has upward Of 10000 of
the girls.
