Scope and Contents

The document is a telegram sent to George B. Schwabe, a member of Congress, urging him to vote against a bill that would grant members of the Merchant Marine similar rights as veterans. The American Legion opposes the bill because the Merchant Marine were civilian employees and not part of the military forces. The telegram is from Granville Scanlan, the Department Commander of the American Legion of Oklahoma. It is emphasized that the quickest, surest, and safest way to send money is by telegraph or cable.
