It showed the present financial worth of the organiaztion as ."$608,933.99 as against $461,717.37 at the time of the last national convention." Jlae organization was extended ma..

The national commander as serred that President Harding held conference with a group of anti-con pensationists and then went befor congress to urge that the legislatio be recommitted. Mnro followed Mr. Emery' I declaration that the legion was in th j compensation fight to stay and tha J it would make its stand known to th | world in unmistakable terms withou I consideration to party politics.
