4.500,000 ENTITLED TO BONUS,
BUT UP TO DATE ONLY 1,500,000
HAVE MADE APPLICATION FOR IT
140,000 HAVE HAD BLANKS RE
TURNED BECAUSE WERE
MADE OUT WRONG
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 20
Are you one of the 3,000,000 veterans
of the Great War who, although en
titled to the bonus, have not yet made
application for it?
Are you one of the 140,000 veter
ans who have made application, but
had the application blank returned
to you because of mistakes and who
has not yet returned the corrected
blanks?
If you are, Major-General Robert O.
Davis, Adjutant-General of the Army,
would like to have a little friendly
chat with you.
As a result of the statement made
last mouth by General Davis, who is
in charge of the administration of the
bonus, in which he asserted veterans
were very slow in sending in their
bonus applications, there has been a
material increase in applications,
which are now coming in at the rate
of 9,000 per day.
There are, however, 4.500,000 veter
ans who are entitled to adjusted com- j
pensation, and only about/l,500,000
have applied. General Davis is anx
ious to get responses from the re- j
maining 3.000,000 immediately, so j
that the work cf the bureau may be j
carried on with the greatest dispatch, j
General Davis said:
“The enormity of the task imposed i
upon the War department by the Ad- !
justed Compensation act may be judg
ed when it is considered that 4,500,000 j
veterans may apply. Plach one of
these applications must be handled by
many clerks; it must be acknowl
edged, examined, fingerprints compar
ed, a statement prepared from the
records, and the amount adjusted ser
vice credit computed and certified to
the Veteran’s Bureau. So far 1,500,
000 veterans have applied. The low
est daily average receipt of applica
tions, was during the month of Oc
tober, when about 9,000 a day were
received; the highest daily receipt
was during the month of July—58,
000. The War department has exam
ined more than 1,450,000 applications
for adjusted compensation and has
transmitted more than 1,000,000 cer
tificates to the United States Veter
ans’ Bureau, showing in each case the

amount of adjusted service credit due
the veterans. ,
“The present clerical force consists
of approximately 2,500 clerks. They
have been carefully trained and are
capable of a daily output of approxi
mately 30,000 applications.
“There remain on hand in the de
partment sufficient applications, with
the usual number received daily, to
require the clerical force to work at
maximum speed for the remainder of
the year and beyond. However, if the
department were to receive at this
time from the veterans who intend to
apply eventually, it would be able,
with its present overhead, by slightly
increasing this largely, experienced
force of clerks, to complete the task
promptly, efficiently, and with a mini
mum cost to the Government, and
within approximately three months
after the first of the year. It goes
without saying that the longer the
work is drawn out, the greater will
be the cost of administration and the
higher the bill to the taxpayer, since
a certain overhead will be required to
be carried in that event.
“There are 140,000 veterans to whom
applications have been returned be
cause of errors in preparatioon and
who are still holding them. It is re
| quested that the necessary data be
supplied and that the applications be
promptly returned. The department
maintains only a card record file of
such applications, and it cannot, of
course, take any further action with
j regard to them until the corrected
applications are received back.”
SAYS AMERICAN
LABOR UNIONS
ARE SELFISH
TOKIO, Dec. 22.—American labor
unions are not doing their part to
emancipate humanity. They are self-!
ish, unsympathetic, inconsiderate and
a "blot upon the history of the
world’s labor movement.”
| These are the conclusions of Bunji >
' Suzuki, Japan’s foremost labor leader, j
| who has just returned from a pro
longed visit to the United States and
Europe, where he studies labor con
ditions. Suzuki was particularly bit
i ter against labor unions of the United
j States for their attitude toward the
j Japanese exclusion question,
i “The attitude of the American Fed
eration of Labor toward the question
of Japanese immigration,” Suzuki
said, “reveals a selfish lack of sym
pathy toward labor in Japan and the
j position into which over-population
j has plunged us. It is a great blunder
i in the light of the international posi
J tion labor has now assumed.”
Labor unions in other countries, Su
; zuki declared, are an ever growning
j force in shaping domestic and inter
| national policies, but in the United
States organized labor is intent only
upon promoting its own interests.
“Americans,” Suzuki continued, “do
| not care if they hurt the feeling of
■ other countries, or if they observe or
not the etiquette usually found in in
! ternational dealings.
“The position of American labor is
singular. Its great organization, the
American Federation of Labor, the
greatest in the world, holds itself en
tirely aloof from organized labor in
Europe. It has no sympathy with the
League of Nations, nor did it partici
j pate in the recent international trade
union congress at Amsterdam. The
Federation is selfish, seeking to main
tain its own peculiar position among
other labor organizations.
“Japanese labor unions, in conjunc
tion with the unions of Europe and
elsewhere, must overcome existing
American prejudices and induce
American labor to enter into an un
derstanding with the rest of us so
that the happiness of the wTorld’s la
boring class may be insured through
peace and international security, be

cause the real emancipation of hum
anity must come thru the co-opera
tion of labor. No nation today can
ignore the influence of labor in shap
ing its domestic and foreign policies.”
Suzuki declared that throughout
the world unionism is becoming a sur
prising factor in contributing to world
peace.
In England, he declared, the defeat
of the Macdonald government does
not indicate a weakening of labor.
He pointed out that, in the latest
election in England, labor obtained a
larger popular vote than ever before.
In Italy, Suzuki believes, Fascism is
doomed unless it compromises with
Labor and Socialism.
HISTORIC SHIP
BURNED TO GET
AT SCRAP METAL
The old cableship Burnside, which
laid many of the cables now being
used in Alaska and familiar in all of
the coast towns of Alaska, is no more,
having been destroyed at Oakland re
cently for the scrap metal to be ob
tained. The Union Construction Co.
of Oakland purchased the vessel
recently and set fire to the historic
craft as the best means of destroying
the upper works and making the me
tal parts more accessible.
The Burnside has an interesting
history. Built in England many years
ago the craft was used by the Span
ish as a troopship during the Spanish
American war. In 1898 the Burnside,
then the Rita, was captured and re
named by the American naval forces
and following the ending of the war
was sent around Cape Horn to the
Pacific operating for a short time to
the Philippine Islands.
In 1901 the Burnside was sent to
Alaska to lay new cables and repair
the ones then in existence. Since that
time the old craft kept Alaskans in
touch with the outside world continu
ously until replaced by the Dellwooff
last year.
The Burnside occupies a unique po
sition in Alaskan history and although
out of date and impractical for furth
er service many Alaskans who were
dependent upon the vessel for the
maintainance of communication in the
early days are sorry to learn of the
ignominious end which is the fate'of
all craft which have outlived their
usefulness.
The husband of Mrs. Anna Reese
declared at her inquest in Chicago 4
that she had taken 36 kinds of medi
cine in six months.
