Show THE SALINA SUN, SAUNA, UTAH SEEK TO IMPORT ILLITERATE LABOR I Copy A few selfish American business Interests are seeking to import an illiterate labor class as virtual slaves, Garland W. Powell, director of Americanism of the American Legion, charged In Atlanta, Ga. Powells declaration was made during the course of an address before an illiteracy conference called by the Legion for the state of Georgia. The Legion mun read a letter from a New York commercial organization which stated that the board wanted this country to admit Illiterate immigrants. "If we exclude all illiterates, we would be wdthout labor, the letter said. Powell said these people seek to establish a condition of Industrial He declared that they atslavery. tempted to explain away their attitude by sajlng that without Illiterates the nation would be without labor, when the fact really is that they desire illiterates so that they can liuve unintelligent, unthinking labor. Powell fur-the-r charged that such Interests were seeking to Increase immigration so that they might enjoy the swollen profits that otherwise would in some measure go to intelligent labor. He added that such a move would lower the standards of education and living. The letter to which he referred said, in part: "We notice . . . the slogan in the first page of your leaflet which reads as follows: No Illiteracy by 1927. It Is not quite clear what this slogan means. If It means that no illiterates are to be admitted into the United States as immigrants, it raises a serious question and the board would Toot The labor approve such stoppage. class is one that we do not raise in the United States ; It must be imported.

Gottlieb, a "buck private during the war, will represent the largest post of the American Legion in St. Paul, Minn., when delegations gather there for the annual convention. Gottlieb, son of a Russian immigrant, was elected to his position as commander of a St. Paul post because of his work for the Legion, and because his comrades realized his organizing ability. On the principal post In the convention city falls much detail work. From the ranks of that post must be recruited the hard workers, the men who do most toward entertaining their comrades, the men who must be on hand practically for 24 hours a day, If necessary, for the success of the affair. So when the 1924 officers for St. Paul post No. 8 were to be chosen, the thousand members cast about to see who fitted this description most accurately. Regardless of the fact that the members wers mostly Irish, this did not deter them from selection of Gottlieb, a Jew. Race had nothing to do with this election. As it happened, but fifteen other Jews are members of the post, and on the night of the election only five were present. But Gottlieb has had a long record of achievement in Legion organizing. He ' was a member of the Legion within forty-eigh- t hours after his ar- - without labor.- - This idea, according to Mr. Powell, means that a large section of business believes that America does not believe In the dignity of labor. It believes that America must go on and on, imf of Euporting "the scum and rope, until the majority of our people Is composed of scum and riff-rafThese things, he declared, are absolutely opposed by the American Legion.

Agree on Site for New War Memorial in Boston I. E. Site for a World war memorial In Boston, to be built from surplus funds from the state bonus has been agreed on by veterans societies. This has ended long discussion by members of the American Legion and other organizations extending over nearly two years. A contention of certain veterans was that the funds be redistributed proportionately to the towns from whence the money came About $2,000,000 remains in the fi nd, and it has been voted by repres- ntatives of the societies that the mney shall be expended on a state s rine, in no way devoted to utilitarian purposes. The location settled on. according to the recent conference, is to be next to the state house, bounded by Mt. Vernon and Beacon streets from north to south and by the state house and Joy street from east to west. Eight members of the Legion committee acted on the proposal, and voted In favor of the project. Gottlieb. rival In the Minnesota city with his discharge from service in his pocket. Since that time he has served as post entertainment officer, post finance officer and has taken an active part in local, county and department activities. When the Ramsey county central committee of the Legion was organized, he played a principal part. He formed the successful post drum and bugle corps, which carried off department honors In 1922 and 1923. He formed the Ramsey County Legion Bowling league, one of the most 'successful in the Legion. If there has been a productive activity of the Legion in St. Taul, Gottlieb very likely figured in it. Gottlieb was born in Russia and came to America with his parents in 1893. He Is the second son of a family of eight. Five of the family served in the World war three In France. His high school education was never completed, as he left during his first year to become a printers apprentice, which trade he still follows. With another World war veteran he came back and opened his own shop In the Minnesota city, which he still operates, though he says It Is likely his attention to It will be little during the few months previous to the St. Paul convention, in view of his present post. Out-of-Doo- rs Community Homes to Be Built in California of American Legion Construction homes in eight different communities in Contra Costa county, California, will be started this- spring. According to Morgan Keaton, department adjutant of the organization, the appropriation of $240,000 will be necessary and approximately $13,-00- 0 for this will be allocated to each community. Under the California law, recently upheld by the State Supreme court, a county Is given authority to set aside such funds for erection of a community home for use of veterans, once all the money Is paid into the county treasury. The act was passed In 1921. The erection of the homes Is under direction of the county boards of supervisors and groups of veterans in each county. - Camp to House Legionnaires An camp to house visiting Legionnaires who attend the department convention of the Legion in Asheville, N. C., will be established. This is believed to be one of the first Instances that the Legion men will, like the Grand Army of the Republic, encamp In this manner. It is believed that hotel facilities will be overtaxed during the convention and the Klffln Rockwell post has arranged to open a huge camp, which will require GOO tents, 12,000 blankets and 3,000 cots to care for the visitors. A small charge will be made for acwhich will include commodation, meals, bus tickets, and to all attractions planned for the Legionnaires stay. during the three-da- y Dig Through Snow to Visit Veteran Patients Heavy snowstorms completely isolated the Sunnyrest sanitarium for dismen near Racine, abled Wis. As members of the Legions sick committee from the Racine post had previously announced that they would visit the sanitarium on a certain dute, they set out through the snow to fill the epgageftv.ni1.'n order that the patients might have the little items of personal comfort prepared by the Legion. Two of the men, Eil Hannon and Lester Bowman, were forced to shovel snow more than half a mile In order to get their car through, but they jried at the time set, and brought first hews of the outside world to the veteran patients in several days. Says Former Service Men's Party Will Come Political muddling lias cost the former American soldiers so much during the last four years that the climax will be establishing a former service men's party, according to Joseph Schwartz, Long Distance, Please a member of the American Legion in Atlantic City. Schwartz made this declaration In speaking before the Lions club of that city. The time Is coming when th formei sendee man will enter politics, Schwartz said, a aervice man doesnt want money, but he wants a soldier "Are you sure these field glasses are high power? asked the lady potential customer. replied the ambitious Madame, salesman, when you use these glasses anything less than ten miles away American looks like its behind you.

Miss Stinson said before the committee: Jess gave his life for Harry Daugherty. Asked to explain, she said that Smith had talked of nothing for six months but his financial deals and feared the whole thing would come out. She told how Smith had confided much to her and told her of meetings he and Daugherty had in a "little green house on K street, Washington, where they discussed their "deals. She described Smith as Daughertys bumper. Faced with Miss Stinsons testimony Daugherty, for the first time since the committee started its Investigation, defended himself by Issuing a statement. In this statement he said : She (meaning Miss Stinson) is a disappointed woman who blames me because her divorced husband did not make her sole legatee under his will, an a malicious angry woman because the courts have decided against her woman because the friends of the attorney general have brushed aside and disregarded all her tentative efforts to capitalize her silence.

However, good roads devoted to the farmers marketing purposes only do not Justify themselves. That is, they would not Justify themselves if they had to make a return ngainst the cost of building and upkeep, as the railroads do. They would not pay. Farmers usually haul wheat and corn and cotton to town during off, times, if there are such things on a farm. They can pick the days when the roads are not submerged. Consequently the Investment of seteral thousand dollars a mile for road building is not Justified for the hauling of farm produce. But the roads are as necessary as sunlglht and air for other purposes. They are needed for our social contracts. x Wilson, Head of the U. S.
