Labor and Legion Allied in Defense of Shared Goals
Frank Wealy of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and senior Legion vice commander in Iowa told a Ottumwa joint meeting of the State Federation of Labor and the Legion that no two American movements are more allied than the Legion and organized labor. He denounced propagandists who claim Legion members would strike break. He cited Denver threats to man streetcars during a walkout as false propaganda. Wealy said the two groups align on child labor prohibition immigration and national defense, noting AFL support for the adjusted compensation bill and labeling war veterans as principal opponents of the bill.

Expensive Equipment Not Needed for Clean Milk
The New Jersey State College of Agriculture dairy department argues that simple equipment suffices for clean milk. Contamination occurs during milking and from dirty teats, utensils, or a dusty barn. Proper steps include cleaning the cow before milking, sterilizing utensils, and using a small top pail, then cooling milk to about 50 degrees Fahrenheit immediately after milking.
