DISABLED VET'
IURNATMN
10 reliefKeds
San Francisco, Cal., June 28.
From renewing old comradeships
of war time days and enjoying
fetes and entertainments provided
for their benefit the disabled
American veterans of the world
war turned today to serious con
sideration of the questions of care,
compensation and rehabilitation
of their "buddies" unable to atr
tend the second annual convention
of the organization.
Colonel C. R. Forbes, director of
the United States veterans' bu
reau,, and John H. -Dykes, chair
man of the national executive
committee of the disabled veter
ans, were asked to tell of the pro
gress of the work the government
has been carrying on and to sug
gest improvements that might be
made..
Colonel Forbes had ready a
story of the providing of many
hospitals for ailing veterans, ol
thousands of claims for compen
sation allowed and of vocational
training schools located through
out the country at various universities.-
An apparent wide divergence of
oplnon exists among disabled serv
ice men as well as in the mind of
the general public in regard to
the merits of the bonus bill at
present before congress, the legls-v
lative committee said in its report
prepared for submission today.
The committee urged that the dis
abled veterans convention state its
attitude by means of resolutions.
It also advised that the convention
endorsed the so-called new Sweet
bill providing for immediate. care
of veterans.
Most of the complaints from
former service men arise from fail
ure to have their claims acted on
promptly, according to the com
mittee, which reported that very
few complaints were made about
condtions in individual hospitals.
The committee declared that some
of the delays in securing compen
sation seemed grievous, months
being required in some cases to
get aid for men in great need of
it.

LABOR URGED
TO
EL
Campaign for New Stat
utes Should Be Answer
To Supreme Court, En
gineers Declare.
Cleveland, Ohio, June 28. Or
ganized labor should answer re
cent decisions of the supreme
court with a campaign to secure
the enactment of a law which will
protect it from suits for damages
by employers Instead of denounc
ing the law, the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers stated In a
bulletin Issued today.
The Coronado decison holding
that labor unions are sueable for
damages is a challenge to the
workers to seek legislative protec
tlon for their unions Blmllar to
that given labor organizations in
Great Britain, the bulletin con
tends.
"Decision Is Damaging.
"The Coronado decison opens a
wide gateway for all sorts of un
warranted attacks upon labor or
ganizations," Btates the bulletin
"It invites unscrupulous employ
ers, engaged in a lockout or strike
to provoke damage to their prop
erty as the plaintiffs in this case
did, and then tie up the funds of
the labor unions by a suit for dam
ages against the union.
"Chief Justice Taft cites nu
meroua congressional enactments
expressly exempting labor Unions
from excise taxes, in order to draw
the deduction that such recogitlon
of the legality of unions also lm
plies that they may be sued and
their funds attached in claims
arising from acts committed by
their members. Yet this compar
ison fails entirely when applied to
common law partnerships and oth
er such organizations which are
admittedly legal, but which are
not sueable for the wrongful acts
of their individual members.
"Such decisions as the Coronado
case are doing more to discredit
the law and the courts in the eyes
of the working people than all the
so-called radical agitators in the
country."
BUT IS PAROLED
Jack Ward, indicted for forgery
by the recent grand jury, was ar
raigned before Judge George G.

tenced to four years' imprison
