Miller, chair- man ofethe national rehabilitation com- mittee, a plan is under way in the United States Department of Labor to set up special employment agencies throughout the country for the ex- clusive purpose of assisting World War veterans in obtaining employment. It s understood that the Bureau of the Budget has approved of a special ap- propriation of $100,000 for this purpose. The Legion's idea was that these employment agencies should be op- erated by the United States Veterans' Bureau, but, in view of the fact that the Department of Labor has a closer et tiome.throukhout the countey: 1 co ms throug] e E is felt that it could offer a better solution to theflpnsen: problem e:’ ‘widespread unemployment among vet- erans. Director Frank T. Hines of the Veterans’ Bureau has assured the American Legion that he will offer the Department of Labor every possible co- operation and assistance in the pro- gram, since it is a matter of great concern to the Veterans' Bureau itself.

The thought has been advanced that the personnel to be used in the work will be as familiar as possible with Veterans’ Bu- reau problems and the special employ- ment requirement of beneficiaries of the bureau, although the services of the agencies will not be restricted to veterans with disabilities. All arrangements have been made in Europe for a royal reception to all Gold Star Mothers who participate in the pil- grimage during the period from May 1 of this year to October 31, 1933, ac- cording to Maj. Gen. John F. O'Ryan, who, with Prig. Gen. J. Leslie Kincaid, wené @ Europe to arrange for the tour of more than 1,500 veterans of the 27th Division, A. E. F., who sail for Europe on May 15. England, Belgium and France, through civil and military officials, service men's organizations and the American Legion have assured of every co-operation. The | veterans of British divisions, with which U. S. troops participated in Flanders the vetdrans when they go abroad. During the pilgrimage abroad the 7th Division veterans will hold a re- union in London with veterans of the British divisions with which they | fought. They will be received by the King and Queen of the Belgians and | on Memorial day they will visit the cemetery, where many of the division's dead are buried. A special itinerary has been arranged for the veterans of the 52d Artillery Brigade, which will take | them to Verdun and other sectors where Among the amendments which the American Legion will seek to have in- cluded in the act providing for the pil grimege of the Gold Star Mothers to the | n battlefields and cemeteries is will permit mothers to make the trip, who do not reside in the United States but whose sons are buried in known graves in Europe. In Italy, par- ticularly, there are a great many moth- ers whose sons lost their lives fighting with the American Expeditionary Forces. Another amendment sponsored by the American Legion would permit mothers whose sons’ bodies were returned to the United States for burial, to make the pilgrimage, if not at the expense of the Government, at least at the time of the general movement so that they might benefit by. any special transportation rates which might be available. Ac- tion by Congress on the various amend- ments is expected at an early date. Jane A. Delano Post, No. 6, was rep- resented at the mass meeting and re- ception at Constitution Hall on the eve- ning of January 29, at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier January 30 and the luncheon at the Carlton on Saturday given by Mrs. Rice William Means, in honor of Mrs. Donald McCrae, na- tional president of the American Legion Auxiliary.
