Convent ion Told by General Wood
That Allies, Combined, "Were
Winners of "War.
CL.KV KL, A N" D, O., Sept, 28. The
Brcond annual conventon of the
American Leg-Ion today underwent a
nine-hour barrage of resolutions and
committee reports.
The stand of the Legion regarding
organized labor was not mentioned In
the report of the resolutions commit
tee. However, a minority report was
tmbmitted which recommended that
the "American Legion reiterate its
position, that it has no parirtipatton
In controversies between capital and
labor. The American Legion is not
opposed to organized labor when it
conducts itself, as we believe it nor
mally does, in conformity with law
and order."
A heated discussion followed a nd
the minority report was amended to
eliminate the last sentence. Still the
debate continud, some membrs taking
the position that the American Legion
nerd not make any statement on the
subject. Others contended that peo
ple censured the legion because they
did not know the exact Btand taken
on this matter.
However, a substitute for the min
ority report was presented by Califor
nia and adopted, 'stating "that this
convention endorsed the statement re
cently issued by the national com
mander. Franklin d'Olier, and accepts
that statement as the Legion's inter
pretation of its position In relation
to organized labor."
Politics INot TOIficuNMed.
The stand of the Legion regarding
politics was not brought up. The
chairman of the committee on con
stitutional amendments reported that
it had not reached a decision, but
would bring it in tomorrow. Article
15, of the Legion constitution, then
was read which is that the report on
constitutional amendments must be
rend 1M hours before action is taken.
The chairman proceeded with the
business finished by his committee,
which included recommendations re
garcling redistricti ng of the United
St ates, with a vice commander as an
intermediate administrative unit In
each district; that no national com
mander be eligible for re-election and
that past national commanders be
mado life members without voting
power.
The first resolution submitted, antt
unanimously passed, was a message
to l'resident Wilson expressing "sin
cere sympathy for him in his present
differing and reiterate to him our un
nltcrable determination to support
fnd uphold unswervingly the princi
plcs and constitution of our country."
Poppy Im Adopted.
The poppy was adopted as the
memorial flower of the Legion.
General Marie Fayolle, French rep
resentative, was greeted with five
minutes of cheering. He and Sir Ad
miral "V. S. Grant, of the royal navy
of Great Britain, addressed the con
vention briefly. Then came cries of
"Wood, Wood," for General Leonard
Wood. When the general appeared
ho was greeted as a "regular member."
Referring to statements of the
French and British representatives,
regarding the good will existing be
tween those countries and America,
General Wood said:
"As both of our distinguished vis
itors have said, the peace of the world
and the happiness of mankind very
largely depend upon keeping up that
friendly spirit. Iont let any insid
ious distinctions creep in among us
as to who won the war. We won
it all together.
"I th-inic in this country that you
men who have done so finely in the
war have got to take up the civic
fight, build up the right kind of pub
lic opinion on all great affairs. Don't
be slackers in peace. And don't for
get that the greatest menace to this
country is not the open agitators, but
one whose work is a insidious, but
more deadly the handy man in pol

"This man uses great sums of
money to further any purpose he may
have and he must be watched at all
times,"

LONDON. Sept. 28. (Special Cable.)
Paul Upmal, said to be a Russian
by birth and signed on. the shipping
board steamer Diablo as seaman
when she left Tacoma In July, used
so much of his time on the high seas
trying to convince the crew that
America was a good place to stay
away from that the crew on arrival
here petitioned the American con
sulate to see that he, doesn't return
again.
Upmal is said to have begun an
intensive harangue on the value of
bolshevism as compared the
American form of government soon
after the Diablo weighed anchor. But
he had picked the wrong crew on
which to work, because all were
American born.
While the consulate Is considering
the protest of the crew about having
Upmal return to America, he was
seized with an infectious illness and
removed to a hospital here. .The
British immigration authorities had
previously decided that England also
was no place for Upmal, but owing to
his illness he had to be removed.
His illness has decided the case for
the American authorities, for It is
now up to the British government to
decide when Aid where to deport him.

outbreaks may havebeen pardonable
in so far as they were the spontane

the intolerable tension inflicted on
the police.
"But to take a lenient view of them
after a time would allow thrn to
become systematized, and for any
government to do that would be
suicidal."
