BELGIAN KING AND
INDIAN CHIEF MEET
Each Shows Respect for the
Other as They Shake Hands
in New Mexico Village.

ALBuoUERoUs, N. NJ. Oct 19.---The
pale face chief of the Beigians greeted
a grim visaged, gray haired. swarthy
chief Of the Navajos at Gallup to-day.
They shook hands gravely. and each
showed his respect for the other. The
aged Indian bore himself with dignity
equal to that of a king. There was no
condescension In Albert's manner and no
humility in that of the Redshin.
The sun had not yet banished the chill
OF dawn when the Royal special stopped
in the New Mexican village of Gallup,
but there was a crowd OF several hun
bred at the station. Many persons had
ridden a score of miles to greet the Bel
gians AS the train stopred, the band
of st. Michaers Indian School swung
into the strains of the national anthem
of Belgium and then that of the United
States.
A little band of braves. mounted on
mustangs, sat waiting and watching
their faces expressionless. as the King
Queen and Prince descended from theii
car. After one war dance his Majesty
expressed a desire to meet some of the
Indians and several of them were pre-
sented to him and his consort

Braves in shirts of the gaudiest hues

women carrying papooses. The daugh'

ACTION DELAYED ON
NEW SERVICE BONUS
Fordney Says Committee
AUaits VieWs of Legion.
Special Despatch to THE Sun.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.--Representative
James w. Fordney (Mich.), chairman
of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee. in a letter TO the Private SOL
diers and Sailors Legion, made public
tonight, declares that the House and
the Ways and Means Committee are
opposed to passing legislation at this
time providing for a large additional
bonus to service men. Congress,
he says, before taking any action
will await the opinion expected to be
expressed by the American Legion in
its convention in Minneapolis.
The letter was in reply to one from
Marvin G. Sperry. president Of the
Private Soldiers and Sailors Legion,
criticising Mr. Fordney for not pushing
its plan for an additional bonus OF $500.
Mr.. Sperry claimed the American Legion
was controlled by officers and did not
represent the spirit of the American
soldier. Mt Fordney's reply follows:
Permit me to say that I was not
aware that the American Legion was
opposed to the bonus; neither was l
aware that the organization was COM
posed of officers only.
you ask ME to 60 ahead and do
something for the soldiers. It is
the sentiment of the Ways and Means
Committee and of the House that no
bills OF this nature should be passed. or
even taken up for consideration. at this
session of Congress, but that we should
wait to see what action the American
Legion will take upon the question at
their convention In November.
Personally, am strongly In favor
of doing something for the soldier boys,
but to talk about haste in the matter is
idle, for you cannot railroad legislation
through in these days. The Senate will
take no action upon any measure sent
TO that body until after the peace treaty
is out OF the way"

BERLIN, Oct 1.-two strikes are in

strike, which has been dragging on for
weeks. the other a strike OF supernumer-
airy clerks In the municipal offices The
former, In which 100, 900 men are par

the stokers and mechanics of other in
dustries, who threaten to go out IL the
metal workers demands are not con-
coded. This strike appears to have a
political motive. Negotiations still are
pending.
Herr Noske announces his intention of
maintaining electrical power for all the
vital industries and traffic. This deci-
sion was taken because the Berlin magis-
trates have been terrorixed by a small
minority of radical elements. These ter

PAY FOR VACATIONS
Assessment Proposed to Aid
Men Who Struck to Help
0utlawed Unions.
CONSERVATIVES OPPOSED
Sentiment Among Compositors
Against Strike Appears to
Be Gaining Ground.

Members of big Six typographical
union who are not in sympathy with
walkouts which many of their fellow
members have staged in book and Job
plants Of this city expressed indigna-
ton last night over a proposal to-levy
a 10 per cent. assessment for the benefit
Of these strikers.
The question, according to decision
reached at yesterdays, meeting of the
union at New Star Casino in Harlem. is
to be submitted to a referendum vote of
the members on Wednesday.
AS announced by an officer of big
SIX after the meeting, the assessment
will be ito alleviate distress occasioned
by the lockout OF pressmen, feeders and
others by printing establishments here"
the officials of big Six" being very
anxious that they should not appear to
be directly helping the men who DELHI
erately quite their Jobs.
BY the men who will have to pay this
assessment. II II Is put into effect, how
ever, II was viewed from an entirely diff
ferent angle. They pointed out that II.
the first place their union had taken no
strike vote and had declared itself In
favor OF arbitration OF all wage ques-
tons.
Had Disobeyed Unions Order.
The members of "Big Six who quit
their Jobs, they said. did so solely on
their own responsibility, and when the
union by a unanimous vote ordered
them to return to their Jobs many OF
them refused to do 90. In these circum-
stances many of the other members OF
the union cannot see how the strikers
have been locked OUT or why they
should undertake to support them In re-
turn for their disobedience OF the rules
of their own union.
The members expected a move of thi;
kind at the meeting held a week ago, fol
It had been noised around that many O.
the strikers were in financial straits. A
that meeting, however, the officeri
merely put through resolution return
ing TO all members the money they hat
paid into the unions emergency fund o
100000, a move which supplied tn
strikers with a few dollars pending
further action.
There was also apparent yesterday
according to members of the union, {
strong undercurrent against the who'll
strike movement. The more conserva
| tive members seemed to feel that tn
| trouble could have been averted but TO
| the stubbornness of radicals in thei
ranks.
A member said that the time ha'

should go on record in this connection.
