AMERICAN LEGION
HOLDS CONVENTION
Minneapolis Place of First National
Meetlnf. Will Define Policy.
Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 9.—Twen
ty-five thousand delegates and alter
nates representing practically 1,000,-
000 former soldiers, sailors and ma
rines in every state and territory^ of
the United States are in this city or
States are
thA first
way hcee
national convention of the American
Legion which will open here tomor
row. The convention will be in ses
sion for three days, concluding Novem
ber 12. The delegates will join with
thousands of visitors "and with resi
dents of this city in a parade and cele
bration to “Armistice day” on Tuesday,
November 11.
Officers of the Legion feel that this
convention will be of vital interest not
only to former service men and wo
men but to the country at large. Dele
gates confront the task of defining the
policy of the Legion with regard to
national issues in which the welfare
of the country and of its veterans of
the great war are intermingled. Im
portant questions to be submitted for
decision by the convention include de
termination of the attitude of the
Legion toward the future military pol
icy of the United States, and voca-
tional education for war veterans, sol-
dier and legislation and the future of
war risk insurance.
Suggestion has been made by Frank
lin D’Olier of the state organization
section that in forming its commit
tees the convention should appoint one
“to determine the exact limitation, if
any, upon officers and commtitee mem
bers of national, state and post organ
ization with reference to their po
litical activities, to maintain absolute
ly the non-political character of the
American Legion.”
Permanent officers of the Legion are
to be elected for the ensuing year. The
location of national headquarters is
to be chosen. A policy of organiza
tion through state branches and local
posts will be submitted for decision
and the names of post, state and na
tional officers are to be determined.
Twenty thousand, persons are ex
pected to participate in the parade in
observance of armistice day, Tuesday.
War camp community girls stationed
along the line of march will sing as
the parade is passing. Addresses will
be delivered at the conclusion of the
parade. The election of officers, se
lection of* permanent national head 1
quarters and place of the next annual
convention are not expected to be com-
93 acre farm one ^^
Minneapolis has been working for
weeks to become the choice of the con
vention for permanent national head
quarters, but that honor is sought also
by many other larger cities. There is
much competition also for selection of
the meeting place for the 1920 conven
tion.
Minneapolis and St. Paul have pre
pared extensive programs of entertain
ments for the former service mn and
women outside of convention hours.
A theater party and boxing exhibition
have been arranged in this city for to
morrow evening. A ball will be given
for the. visitors Tuesday night.
Although every delegate to the con
vention has served with the armed
forces of the United States in the
World War, it, is understood that no
uniforms are to be worn in the con
vention. There is to be no ditsinction
of rank/ Privates, generals, seamen,
naval officep and officers and men of
the marine' corps will mingle indis
criminately. The convention is to be
composed not entirely of men as a
number of women delegates will rep
resent posts of army nurses.

People Paying 10 to 15 Cents for Bus
Rides When Cars Ron Out of City.
Toledo, O., Nov. 9.—Car riders who
last Tuesday voted for an „ouster or
dering the street cars from the steels
because they -were paying 6 and 8
cents to travel to and from their work
today were paying from 10 to 15 cents
in automobile buses of which there
was an abundance.
The Toledo Railways and Light
company began last midnight to spirit
the cars out of the city until not a
vehicle with wheels under it was left
withffi the jurisdiction of the city of
ficials who were responsible for the
ouster ordinance passed last June be
ing submitted to the people.
Mayor Cornell Screiber himself in
troduced the ordinance when 1 the coTh-
pany Increased the fars from ;flve
cents to six cents and two cents for a
transfer to take care of an Increase
in carmen’s wages.
The cars were removed without no
tice to public and city officials alike.
All were taken into Michigan and
stored on sidetracks. The action was
taken immediately after official notifi
cation wgs given the company by the
board of election managers that the
ouster ordnance had been approved by
the voters. i
Officials of the street car company,
of which Henry L. Doherty, of New
General Palmer today told the house
agricultural committee.
Unnatural economic conditions, the
attorney said, “would be taken advan
tage of by scrupulous people” to make
prices high unless the powers grant
ed under the act are continued in
force. The conditions, he said, pre
vailed throughout the world.
“The conditions in the country im
mediately following peace make it
even more necessary that the law be
continued than the conditions that
prvailed throughout the world.
“The act originally had for.its pur
poses the increase of production and
to protect the people from war time
conditions that result in very high
prices. Since the armistice prices
have largely increased and unless, the
government control is continued over
some commodities the after-war con
ditions may result , in higher prices
than daring the war itseft."
Suggestions by committeemen that
extension of all sections of the law
was necessary were answered by the
attorney general urging blanket ex
tension, for he said, the unexpected
“situations might arise,” and that the
mere existence of the law would be of
wholesome influence.
“The main purpose of the extenison
would be to stop profiteering,” de
clared the attorney general.
Answering questions regarding the
bituminous coal miners’ strike, the
attorney general said that the depart
ment of justice had no legal plans
other than its injunction .suit at In
dianapolis for dealing with the strike
situation.
“The failure of the men to carry
out the contract to work at a certain
wage during the war Is the primary
cause,” he said, in reply to a question
as to whether the strike was due to
the war conditions.
The attorney general declared, in
response to a question, the President
had -power to “take over the coal
mines, if he saw fit.’.’ He also said
that under the law the resurrected
fuel administration could continue for
six months after peace. Price fixing
of food also Is possible under the law,
but the attorney general said “be
knew of nothing that contemplates
use” of this authority.
Mr. Palmer said that he was not
certain that the conditions making
extension of the law advisable would
end in six months, but he declared
that such a period would be as "short
as congress would undoubtedly wish
to make it."
No suggestion was made during the
hearing about an effort to block the
President in lifting wartime prohibi
tion, but in referring to the section
of the Lever act" prohibiting manufac
ture or import of intoxicating liquor
the attorney general said facetiously
“it would not be needed after next
January,” when constitutional prohi
bition becomes operative.
Action on the attorney general's
requests, both as to the extension of
the food control*, and making funds
available for an educational campaign
bn the high cost of living through
combating of “buy now” campaigns
was deferred until Monday by the
committee.
York, is the head, gave it out tonight
that cars are not to be operated here
“until a permanent sttelement has
been reached or is assured.” All iff 1 -
erurban cars are being turned back
at the city limits.
Mayor Schreiber called a meeting
of his cabinet today and placed the
blame for the lack of street car trans
portation on Frank R. Coates, resi
dent president of the operating com
pany. Th^ mayor declared that Pres
ident Coates “broke a gentleman’s
agreement” with the nuvyor that the
cars would not stop running until the
city officials notified the company to
cease operating. . ^
