MOVIE MAN EXPLAINS ACT Editor Times: The article printed in your paper recently by two He&ewlsch boys requires some explanation. District 20 to which Hegewlsch's two precincts belong Is located in the post office building at South Chicago. "When the new serial draft numbers came out, the only place they could be obtained was at headquarters which to ths Iltgewisch men meant a telephone call or laying off work a half day and going down to get their now numbers. In short, it meant the loss of a half day's pay, and expenses to South Chicago, for 1.000 men. So I went down to South Chicago anJ spent an entire day copying the 900 to 1.00(1 resist ration cards belonging to Hegewisch. I placed signs in front of the theatre stating that the new draft numbers could be obtained Inside and that it was unnecessary tp go to South Chicago to get them. The idea was that by attending the theatre a man could get his new draft number without costing anything other than the regular price of admission to the show. I figured it would Increase the attendance, at the same time being a Wrst accommodation to my patrons. I did not solicit any one to furnish them their numbers, they were still able to get them at

Or Will He Consider Merit Only in Giving the Commissions f

headquarters the same as everyone would have to do, if I had not gone to the trouble of getting them for them. Regarding John Engstrand and William D. Olsen, who signed the article calling me "A Poor Patriot." allow me to inquire how two Good Patriots like they are. had to be drafted and were then so anxious to find out how soon they would HAVE to go to serve their country. I expected that the least a man could do for the trouble and time

I spent procuring those numbers, would.

be to patronize my theatre long enough to get what he wanted. However. I gave out over 100 numbers to men who did not enter the theatre nor did I ask or receive money from them. Some of them came to my house during the day, others I'd meet on the street, asking for their numbers and I gave it to them without thought of recompence. Others would edge in through the exit or call in the door during the evening's performance and want their numbers without purchasing a ticket. The ones that were half way decent in their request, got their numbers. The others I told to purchase a ticket and on entering the lobby I would give them their numbers. Mr. Olsen was one of the men who called in at the exit door about the first night I had the numbers. He did not BUY a ticket. I GAVE him the numbers, rather, he mooched it. The next morning I was giving men their numbers In the lobby when Mr. Moocher called in at the door, through which he had so successfully got his number on the previous evening. This time he had the other PATRIOT. Mr. John Engstrand with him. and as he was rather abrupt in demanding the numbers through the exit door, I in-foi-med them that if they would introduce themselves to my cashier, to extent of purchasing a ticket to the show, I would fix them up. The suggestion of parting them from a dime on any pretext whatsoever, evidently displeased them for they started muttering to

themselves about it, then was when I told them where they could go and get the numbers: to South Chicago where I got mine. I heard nothing further until my attion was called to the article in Thb Times dubbing me a poor patriot. Also the language they credited me with was not flattering. I thought I used better Ecglish than (that. However, I presume it suffered from being repeated by them so often. Will you kindly insert this article in the same column their article appeared in so that I may save a little of my reputation from the wreckage of those TWO PATRIOTS. Tours very truly, WALTER J. MULLIGAN. Manager of the Hegewisch Theatre. Hegewisch. Illinois.
