DISABLED YANKS FILE COMPLAINT .OVER TREATMENT

Injustice Shown War Cripples by Board of Vocational Training, is Charge.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.. Aug. 7 Hun

dreds of war cripples in the country

are registering serious complaints against tho ineffectual results obtained by the Federal Board for vocational education, the government agency charged by Congress with the responsibility of retaining disabled soldiers for lives of usefulness, according to a statement issued by the Association for disabled Soldiers, Sailors and Marines of 5,000 members. The Federal board for vocational education with headquarters at Washington is under the chairmanship of Secretary of Agricultuarl Houston. The director of the board is Charles A. Prosser. The Association of Disabled Sollders, Sailors and Marines, with headquarters in Philadelphia, was organized nationally in June of this year. The statement of the association" follows in part: "Investigation of the work of the Federal board and actual contact with thousands of war cripples have revealed to the association the following startling Instances of injustice to the disabled soldiers. Only Eleven Men Placed "1. According to a report of the

Federal board under date of June 21. 1919, only eleven men have been placed in remunerative employment after completing courses of training. "2. Hundreds of men have complained that they were compelled to wait form six weeks to six months without pay and forced to depend on the help of friends or charity before their cases were finally acted upon. "3. A number of men have complained that in spite of President Wilson's orders that physical examinations be waived in the cases of men certified by the Federal board for civil service Jobs, the board refused to give the men the required data nd that consequently they were unable to obtain the positions. Object to Order "4. It has recently come to the attention of the association that the Federal board has issued to its fourteen districts vocational officers an order that precedence be given to cases of seriously disabled men over those with minor injuries. Such a ruling is resented by the thousands of soldiers who have suffered less conspicuous disabilities, but who, nevertheless, are prevented from returning to their old jobs as much as the men who have given an arm or a leg in battle. "5. Many trained under the Federal board auspices have objected to their pay being reduced by the board by the amount that they earned while learning the trade. This is manifestly unfair, they claim, since it encourages the employer to exploit the disabled soldier. "6. Another grievance of the association is that it has not learned of a single disabled soldier having been placed among the 1,600 odd employees of the Federal board. Australia points proudly to its department of repatriation, which has 90 percent, of return disabled soldiers in lt3 employ. "7. The Federal board has announced that It has made contracts with 146,931 men for training and that of this number only 5.S78 already have been placed in training. As a result, over 100,000 disabled men are still waiting without pay from the Federal board.

Grand Rapids, the furniture center of America, opened its semi-annual furniture exhibit June 23. Nearly 400 manufacturers exhibited, and more than 2,000 retail buyers attended. The exhibit, scheduled to last a month, closed in a week most of the manufacturers oversold the first day.

The shortage thus indicated is partly due to an unprecedented demand for most retailers had allowed their stocks to become depleted while waiting for lower prices. Scarcity of certain goods, notably oak, augmented the shortage, and dearth of skilled labor many factories are rannhg at only 75 percent of their capacity is a large contributing cause. Therefore, if you must have furniture within two years, buy it here and now where scores and scores of pieces are still marked at the old prices for there is no prospect of a reduction in costs, and every prospect of an advance.
