Important conferences of the imcrienn Legion are to be lield nt &&. &? flr,t on Marc, M ,.nd These mcctinjM have been culled by Franklin D'Ollcr, nntlonnl com mander of the Legion. The first will be n meet ing of the national bene- OMnl foffUlfitlnn mm- mittee. the chairman of which Is A. A. Sue. of Chicago. It will meet t he Hotel Hnlelgh. The necond con forence will be one of the national ex ecutive committee of the American leilon and National Commander D-Oller will prcMdc. The first meeting Iiob been called in order that the committee may work out more In detail recommendations for beneficial legislation to submit to the national executive committee when, it meets on Monday, March 22. In calling (his latter meeting Mr. IX'Olicr has not! lied the leaders of the Legion in every state as follows: "The legislative situation In Wash ineton regarding beneficial legislation for wohcrvlcc men, especially relatim: to adjustment of compensation, is such that it it deemed advisable to hold n meeting of the nntlonal executive com mittee at the Hotel Ifalelgh in Wash tatton on Monday, March 22. Each ktate should be represented und each lepresentatlve should be able to speak wfth nuthorlty as to the wishes bf the merican Legion in his state and assist In working out in detail n program, of beneficial legislation which will rcprc nnt the Ideas of the American Legion and also be consistent with the welfare of the country, and therefore likely to pass Congress. This conference is very Important and means much to the cx nervlce man and to the country as well, nod to the American Legion." Opposition to the proposed adjusted compensation for former service men was voiced last night by the llcnjamln Franklin Post No. -105 by n resolution adopted ut its meeting In the Chamber of Commerce assembly room, Chestnut and .lunlpcr streets. This post took action In accordance with the suggestion of the Department of Pennsylvania on the question of ad justed compensation. Every post In the state is expected to report to the de partment by March IS its stand on this legislative tissue in order that the state commander of the Legion may be in n position properly to report the senti ment of their membership nt the confer ence of state commanders called bv the national commnnder, Vrnnklin D'Ollcr, Id Washington March 22. Dr. William E. Ashton and Dr. M. B. Miller lead the opposition to the so failed bonus. "I believe," said Doctor Miller, "that If this bonus bill is passed we, as former service men, will place ourseixex lu precisely the same position s profiteers." Doctor Ashton said that "what wc did in the war we did because it woh our duty. Wc did not go to Europe to help France or to help England, but wc went because the tlrst-llnc trenches were In Europe." A resolution wns then presented by Dr. Robert S., McCombs to the effect that the Ilecjamin Franklin Post voice its opposition to nny form of bonus to the former service men, and this wus carried by au overwhelming vote. Pennsylvania history on the so-cnlled loans proposal Is a bit checkered. First of all, the state cantonmeut, which con encd in Harrisburg, adopted u resolu tion against any bonus. Secondly, the itatc delegation in the national conven tion in Minneapolis opposed the bonus, hut joined with the delogatcx from other Mntcs in approving a recommendation that Congress determine whnt form of adjusted compensation should be meted out to the men who participated in the world war. Then the Philadelphia county com mittee, representing the seventy-eight posts in this city, approved the rec ommendation of the national executive1 lommittee of the Legion to the effect that adjusted compensation should be siven former service men. This was done in the presence of the national com mander and following the recommenda tion by the nntlonnl executive commit tee to Congress to this effect. Now, the various posts throughout the county are placing themselves on word for or against the bonus, the majority opinion of the posts in this "unty, however, belug in favor of some lorm of adjusted compensation. i'rom n state standpoint, it would wem that the majority of the posts throughout the stnte will favor nomc form of bonus. It is altogether likely, therefore, that George 1 Tyler, the commander of the Department of I'enu Uvnnin. will go to the conference March 22 prepared to report that the American Legion in Pennsylvania favors In a majority vote u bonus for former irviee men.. The posts thnt are ex pressing opposition to any form of ad Msted compensation are like the oasis in the desert tew nnd far between. The Harry IngerMill Post. No. 171, is planning n membership drive. The post meets on the third Thurhdny in tii iiionui in me assemuiy room or tne namber of Commerce, Wldener NnlM Ing. Juniper nnd Chestnut streets, Phil mlelphla. The present membership is over -100 and it is especially desired that every former service, man having a residence 'T Vce ,n tho central port of tho citj Minuld becomo a member, and applica tions are welcomed Irrespective of resi dence A post membership committee has hecn appointed by II. ft.
