AMERICAN LEGION
LEADER VISITS CITY
Bonus Legislation Proving
Vital Topic of Interest.
OREGON OFFICERS ATTEND
Franklin D'Olier Will Speak to
Members Generally Monday
Xight at Armory.
- That there is intense interest among:
American Legion men in all parts of
the country over the proposed "four
fold plan" of soldiers' aid legislation
which was passed by the house of rep
resentatives just before adjournment
of congress and will undoubtedly be
taken up for consideration with the
opening of the next session, was the
declaration of Franklin D'Olier, na
tional commander of the American
Legion, who arrived in Portland last
night.
Mr. D'Olier, who is a Quaker and i
hails from the city of Philadelphia, is j
making an . eight weeks' swing j
through the western states, visiting
the various posts and conferring with
state and local - officials. He is ac-
companied by Mrs. D'Olier, whom he i
introduced last v night as his "com-1
mandlng oficer," and James E. Darst .
of New York, one of the associate edi-
tors of the national weekly publica
tion of the legion. The party was met,
at the depot upon arrival at 10 o'clock
last night by a reception committee
composed of Mayor Baker, Lane Good
ell, department vice-commander; W.
B. Follett, one of the national vice
commanders; E. J. Elvers, department
adjutant; George A. 'White, adjutant
general; Mr. and Mrs. Dow Walker;
Mrs. W. A, Eivers, head pf the wom
en's auxiliary; Frank Moore, and Har
old Warner of Pendleton, representa
tive of the Pendleton post. They were
escorted to the Portland hotel, where
they will stop during their stay in
Portland.
Bonos Plana Interest.
"I find unusual interest everywhere
In the bonus legislation," said Com
mander D'Olier" last night. "In the
western states greatest Interest seems
to center on the land settlement pro
vision of the four-fold bonus plan,
while in the industrial centers the
home aid, vocational training and
adjustment of compensation .on a cash
basis command equal interest. Al
though I am vitally interested in the
matter of this legislation I am not
actively pushing it at this time, as I
believe it is a matter to be taken up
by the next administration, which will
be elected at the national convention
in Cleveland, September 27, 23 and 29."
In regard to the Legion's stand
against bolshevism and radicalism in
all forms D'Olier reiterated the, firm
position of the organization against
euch powers that tend towards over
throw of the government.
"The Centralia affair made a tre
mendous stir throughout the east,
he said. "It serveri to crvstallize the
sentiment of the Legion and to bring
it into an even stronger position than
before along lines of Americanism.
In regard to organised labor, how
ever, the legion has taken no stand.
and some of our strongest leaders and
. best members are members of labor
unions. There is no more reason why
a good union man cannot be a good
Legion man, or vice versa, than why
a Presbyterian or a republican could
not make a good Legion man. The
Legion has no part in the discussion
between capital and labor.
Legion Growth Large,
"My trip over the country has made
me realize the growth of the Legion
just during the last few months, and
the tremendous interest shown in it.
In many of the smaller places we have
visited it has not been uncommon for
legion members to motor &0 milt: or
more in from the country to attend
meetings, and at a meetfng I attended
in Arizona an Indian member of the
post came in a score of miles on
horseback. The interest shown is tre
mendous, and is equally ken in all
parts of the country."
Mr. and Mrs. D'Olier and Mr. Darst
will spend today enjoying the city and
highway and no events of a legion
character are planned. The yisitOrs
will be taken over the Columbia high
way during the morning and after
noon by W. B. Follett, past state
commander, and George A. White, ad
jutant-general of the state. The even
ing they will spend quietly, resting

commander of the legion, will be in
Portland during the visit of the na
tional commander and will take a

Prior to th coming of th house
committee on immigration to this
coast to study at first hand the prob

in particular did not have a complete
understanding of the situation, in the
opinion of Judge John E. Raker, rep

immigration, who was at the Port
land hotel last night.
Direct testimony has been produced
by examination before the commit
tee, which has been holding hearings
in' San Francisco, Portland, Tacoma
and Seattle, in which the Japanese
themselves in the majority of cases
have declared that further emigration
should be -prohibited, said Judge
Raker, but they are desirous of hav
ing fair treatment guaranteed to
Japanese already in this country.
The committee, which is headed by
Everett Johnson, former United States
attorney, will hold two meetings, one
in San Francisco and one on the Mexi
can border, prior to the presentation
of the. committee's report before' the
next session of congress. Judge Raker
returned to his home in California

JIMMY 0111 IS BACK
CLOTHIER TELLS OF VISIT TO
EXGLAXD AXD SCOTLAND.
Americans .Are Declared to Be
Xeater Dressers Than British.
Conditions Held Same.
American men.'- and women are
neater dressers than their BritlBh
cousins, in the opinion of Jimmy Dunn,
Portland clothier who with . Mrs.
Dunn has just returned from a three
months' journey to England. While
overseas they were the guests of Mr.
Dunn's brother and relatives. During
his stay in the islands Mr. Dunn
looked into the clothing situation and
yesterday he declare that the condi
tions there and In America are aoout
the same. ' There, as here, he said,
prices will not go down until produc
tion is increased and the labor prob
lem settled. '
Britain's recovery from the war is
truly remarkable, he said. Nothing
remains that reminds one of the great
est conflict of modern times except
for the presence of great schools
where men crippled and blinded by
war are being taught trades.
"Like all clothiers, I did the usual
thing," said Mr. Dunn. "Just as soon
as I landed I began looking at clothes.
When I set foot in London I discov
ered that the average man was poorly
dressed as compared to the average
American. I think this is partly due
to the after effect of the war and
the high cost of clothing. But, too, it
is due to carelessness, as the absence
of pressing and shoe shining parlors
indicated.
"The so-called upper ten,' however,
dress well. They are the ones who
are really guides when it comes to
fashions.
"The American women dress neater
than the British -women, also, with
the exception of evening attire. Here
is where the English woman excels,
believe. While they do not care, seem
ingly, about their street dresses, they
are ultra-particular about evening
clothes.
As to the efforts now being made
to make England dry, Mr. Dunn is of
the opinion that it is a long way off.
En route home from England Mr.
Dunn stopped off in New York. He
said the clothing conditions there are
such that no settled prices can be ex
pected.

- PITTSBURG, Kan., Aug. 7. The
first definite breakaway from .the
power of Alexander Howat by Kansas
coal miners came today with the re
turn to work of men at Jackson
Walker No. 6 at Frontenac.
John L. Lewis, international presl
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, had directed Howat, Kansas
district president, to order strikers
back to work and he had refused.
More Street Signs Urged.
Placing of signs designating names
of streets has been requested in
resolution adopted at the last meet'
ing of the Portland Ad club and sent
to the mayor for submission to tne
commissioners. It Is pointed out that
at jmany intersections, especially in
downtown districts, signs are lacking
or so placed that they cannot be seen
easily and that this works a narasnip

Democratic Landslide Would Not
Better Matters, Says Marshall.
SPOKANE, Wash:. Aug. 7. Belief
that the peace treaty with the league
of nations covenant cannot be adopted,
even with a. democratic "landslide" in

were successful in electing all their
candidates to the senate they would
still lack the necessary two-thirds
vote to ratify "the treaty.
Vice-President Marshall expresse'd
the opinion that "one-third of the peo
ple of the country are unqualifiedly
against the league, one-third are for
the league without reservations and
the remaining one-third are for it.
with reservations."
The vice-president spent an hour
here this morning en route to Glacier
