Empty purse halts Illinois National Guard funds
Springfield reports the Ulmans National Guard appropriation of 210000 annually is exhausted with the second month of the fiscal year not yet past. A deficiency of 25000 to 10000 leaves Camp Logan and Camp Lincoln closed and the loading department idle. Strikes at Pana Virden and Carterville blamed for the shortfall, delaying drills and Washburn trophy pursuits. Government rebates of about 300000 to the state go to general revenue, not back to the Guard fund.
