The American Legioi?
Sews: Local, State, National
Opponents of Bonus? in
Slate Threaten to Fight
project to 'Bitter End,'
0emandingReferendum
Tiger Post, 23, Makes De?
mand Universal Train?
ing, Increase in Pay and
a Warrant Rank in Army
If last Monday night's meeting of the
\*ew york Connty committee, In which
ih? bonus issue was argued, Is an in
,'j.ation of what may he expected in the
'atore when that hody discusses ques
?ions of vital Importance nationally,
\>v York will hecome known as the
?'?bud boy" of the Legion family.
Apparently the sentiment on the
bonus issue is so hopelessly snarled
that it will be difficult to unravel. The
?treat of opponents of the project to
demand adjusted compensation of Con
cress that they would fight to the bitter
end, despite the views of the majority,
[??, being" carried out with sincerity of
purpose, while those who favor prompt
.??'.or. on the measure are just as de?
termined that New York shall go with
the national executive committee.
If New York County fails to indorse
the program set forth by the Legion in
the fourfold optional bill adopted at
Washington last Monday, New York
?state's -commander will be placed in an
embarassing position, to say the least,
g-d so will the national committee. The
United States is so one-sided in its
indorsement of the demand that the
reposition amounts to but little. Only
six states--Arkansas, Mississippi,
Florida, South Carolina, Texas and
Idaho?announced they were absolutely
opposed to any form of additional com?
pensation. Thirty-six states and the
District of Columbia placed themselves
on record a3 in favor of the plan, and
all the other states informed the con?
ference that while sentiment was
divided in their departments, they were
prepared to go with the majority.
With this expression to guide them,
the delegates to the county committee
may indorse the national executive
?offimitteo'd action next Monday night.
But it doesn't look very probable at
this time. v
Both sides in the controversy are
5?uc?r-?. It would be -.veil for each to
?ire ?ts full \ oting strength out next
Monday for the purpose cf registering
:. .:. approval or disapproval. The
?legates present last Monday were
nothing like representative of the
al , - all 'he pasts, and a full
?^tendance may change the vote.
Delegates from eighteen of twenty
67e posts i a Nassau County and from
the executive committee of tha. organ?
isation have served notice on State
Commander Hayes that they will re?
fus? to abide by his call for united sup?
port of the bonus until after a referen?
dum vote of the posts, as provided in
the announcement calling the recent
?scussion a- Albany. While these
delegates -aid they vould not oppose a
bonus, i'.?;? 1 ;?- ? ?ame reason, they dis
