Appeals for support of "Hire a Hero" week will be made this week to every business men's organization in Omaha, according to Adjutant Hough of the American Legion post, who spoke yesterday before the members of the Lions' club. The "Hire a Hero" week starts Mon day. "The American Legion believes that keeping men off the street is one of the solutions of the present unrest," said Adjutant Hough, "There are many men out of jobs, some of them hungry. When a man is hun gry he will listen more readily to any unsavory proposition in order to get food. "There are many former soldiers, sailors and marines on the streets looking for work. "Hire a Hero" week will give many of these ex-service men an opportunity to earn enough money to buy them food for a while at least. It will do much toward quieting conditions. Business men are to be asked to employ ex-service men out of work for one week. Men who have no va cancies are askad to make places and pay the men decent wages. "I think 50 cents an hour the least the men should be paid," Mr. Hough said. "I have had some offers for men where the wages were only 25 cents an hour. I don't think there are many persons as tight as that in Omaha."
