- COMPENSATION National Commander Emery Tells Convention That Fight Will Continue PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE TO LATE-COMMANDER| Declares Legion’s Greatest Achievement. Has Been Won for Disabled (By United Pross) " Kansas City, Oct. 31.—The Amer- can Legion will continue to fight to have congress pass the ad)}xstvd com- pensation (bonus) bill, (,un]mander John G. Emery of Grand Rapk_ls, told the opening session of the third an- nual convention of the Legion today. Emery sharply ecriticized P'resndem. Harding’s attitude on the subject. Commander Emery paid high tyih- ute to the late Frederic W. Galbraith, Jr., national commander, who died in office during the year and who was Emery’s predecessor. “The greatest Legion achievement of the year has been won for our dis- abled comrades,” Emery said. “The second national convention of the Legion at Cleveland declared most properly that the interests of the dis- abled soldicr should haye;preference on the legislative progr: of the Le- gion, With these instructions Com- mander Galbraith visited hospitals, called on bureau chiefs at Washing- ton and inspected their organizations. Galbraith found the situation dis- graceful almost beyond belief. The nation and the Legion itsell was ig- norant of the true conditions of n.s- management and neglect surround- ing the administration of the i of our disabled comrades. Th of affairs was reflected in the ina:- tivity of congress and the incompe- tency of the government agencies. in the War Risk Insurance Bureau more than 100,000 claims were pending which were more than a year old. The surgeon general of the Public Health Service was vainly pleauing for money to cquip 10,000. Disabled veterans were in dire want. Thous- ands. were withoui medical care | compensation with which to obtain it. Many had tatken refuge ir insane asylums, almshouses and even i Galbraith’s first stroke was to i stitute a vivid and forceful publici campaiagn bringing tiie iru¢ condi-| tions before the nation.

FILM AUTHOR PRAISES “THE GREAT PROFIT” Bennett Ray Cohen, who wr_dt'e_ the scenario for “The Great Profit,” re- sed by R-C Pictures corporation, and starring Edith Storey, has to his credit a long list of photoplay suc- cesses. His latest triumph will be shown at the Elko theater for two days beginning tomorrow, Wednes months the ¢ase of.the disabled had become a national issue. The begin- | ning of the new year found the coun-| try and-the congress aroused and| sympathetic. Instinctively they turned | to the Legion for a remedy. Galbraith | had one ready. Mr. Harding, who had | meantime become president, was pre- | vailed upon ‘to assemble a committee | headed by Charles G. Dawes to hear| testimony and to make recommend-| ations. “QOur second great legislative fight has been for another class of disabled | veterans—the financially djsabled. Repeatedly, during the disabled fight, | Galbraith served notice on offcial| Washington that the Legion had not| receded an inch on the question of adjusted compensation. A year be- fore the Legion’s four-fold ~bill had | passed the house by an overwhelming | majority and died in senate commit- | tee. The house stood ready to act favorably on the measure again. The | seat of a confirmed opposition was in | the senate. The Legion received | surances that the bill would be re-| ported out of the committee in the| senate. The bill was reported out. The anti-compensationists made their last | desperate stand, and by a seri unprecedented measures succeeded in | returning the McCumber bill to com-| mittee. | “First came the sensational letter of thg secretary of the treasury to| Senator Frelinghuysen, declaring that | the payment of this just and legiti-| mate debt to our country’s defenders would bankrupt the treasury. The cost, of the bill was grossly exagger- ated, and the hystérical cry of na- tional bankruptey was raised.

In it she is qblc o do a splendid bit of characteriza- titon, first that of a slangy East Side girt 4and ‘then comes the gradual awakening, the conversion of the girl into a fine young woman. “The Greater Profit”” thanks to good direction, has been.made into a splendid production, all things con- dered. It strikes a very timely note in that its theme deals with p}'ofit» cering. Still this does not dominate the story. It is made subordinate to a charming love theme, with which the plot is interwoven.” TWO INGREDIENTS THAT SIMPLY SPELL ROMANCE “Moonlight and Honeysuckle”—what more could one ask of Dan Cupid?
