DENIED BY LEGION Resolution Demanding Ac- tion on Officers’ Retirement Given to Congress. Refuting the contention of oppo- nents of pending legislation for the retirement of disabled emergency can Legion is itself divided on the legislation, a_resolution calling upon leaders in Congress to permit the legisiation to be voted on in the Sen- ate and House, adopted by the na- tional executive committee of the le- glon at a meeting last week in In- dianapolis, s being circulated in support of the measure. Copies of the resolution. pointing that the legislation has been favorably reported and now is on the calendar In both houses, have just been received here by the chair- men of the steering commitees of the Senate and House, the chairman of the House rules committee and other leaders in the two bodies. The resolution points out that the purpose of the legislation embodied | in the Tyson and Fitzgerald emer- gency officer retirement bills has been indorsed by the legion in sev- including the overwhelming vote to continue the fight for the legislation at the | Omaha convention last October. / | See Discrimination End. Passage of the legislation, the ex- ecutive committee declarex, will rec- | tify a discrimination against the | emergency officers of the World War | as the only one of nine classes of officers for whom retirement legisla- tion has not heen enacted | “Such action,” the resolution de- | clares, “will noi diseriminate against | the enlisted men, but, on the con- trary, will rectify the discrimination now existing against the emergency Army officers. | “These disabled officers received | their wounds and_mutilations fight- | ing in the open for their country. We call upon the opponents of this measure to follow the example set by these gallant officers and conduct | their fight against the bill out in the | End-of-the-Month Clearance open. upon the floor of. the House and Senate. We grant the opponents thelv right oppose and speak against. this legislation, but we do not concede them the right to pre- vent the Congress from voting upon the bill, which they have now done for six years. Calls for Fair Play. “The American l.egion believes in fair play, and we regard as unfair the continued efforts to defeat this measure through parliamentary pro- cedure.” The fight against the Fitzgerald bill in the House is being led by the four members of the committee on World War veteran legislation who opposed the bill in a minority report when it was favorable reported by that committee. They are Representat Rankin, Democrat, Mississippi; Vin- cent, Republi . Michi Milligan, Democrat, Mi uri, and Montgomery, Republican, Oklahoma. These mem- bers have been joined in the fight against the measure by Representa- tive Simmons, of Nebraska. In the present legislative situation in the House only a special rule per- mitting consideration of the bill ap- parently can save with the close of the present session. ‘The Senate twice has passed a simi- lar measure. i to Housewives of Latvia still refuse to use vacuum cleaners.
