PAVE WAY FOR
I, BONUS ACTION
Members of House Ways and
Means Committee to Take
Up Legislation at Once.

The Republican steering commit
zee OF the House yesterday decided
to permit the House Ways ana
Means Committee TO begin consider
alton at once OF all proposals looking
TO the reward of returned soldiers.
VIII Lead To Action.
Following days OF rather exciting
conferences, OF ultimstums issued py
the committees representing the In
surgent Republicans, who demanded
that some consideration be given the
soldiers, and following some express
ed differences of opinion among inc
Republican leaders the steering COM
mittee took the first step when VIII
lead to action in response 10 the ue'
mand OF the soldiers.
After the conference Congressman
Frank w. Mondell. Republican moor
leader and ex-officio member OF the
steering committee, who has inti-
mated from the first opposition TO any
bonus legislation, said the steering
committee still was considering the
question.
Referred to Ways and Means.
Almost Immediately thereafter two
members of the committee OF insur-
gents announced that the steering
committee had designated the Ways
and Means Committee as the commit
tee to handle the matter. This infor'
nation was later confirmed by others.
THE steering committee Will intro
duce a resolution asking that all pro-
posed legislation be sent to the Ways
and Means Committee" said one mem
Der of the insurgents.
That the action OF the steering com
nittee indicates the possibility, II
not-the probability. of some forms OF
consumption tax being levied to raise
money for the soldiers was indicated
by other States. Congressman Mon
dell, speaking on the floor OF the
House later, again warned against
any extravagances and said that
aHy appropriations additional to those
absolutely necessary should carry
with them a taxation proposed to
raise the money appropriated.
-Congr man Green. ranking MEM
her on the Ways and Means Commit
tee, said later that any large sum
made necessary by bonus legislation
would have to result in additional
taxes.
I'VE could get 5000. 600. 900 or $780,

WASH|NGTONF FACES
NEW COAL FAMINE
Shortage Will Be Felt Unless
Cars Are Secured to Trans
port Fuel.

Washing ton Is threatened with a
severe coal shortage.
Lindsay Il. Sinclair. general super
intendent OF the Potomac Electric
Power Company, today stated that
all OF the mines In the New River
region OF West Virginia are seriously
affected by a shortage OF cars. Min
ers. he said. are idle In many mines
because OF the insufficient numbers
OF cars for the loading OF coal and Its
shipment here.
Conditions Are Bad
while we have a good supply on
hand. said Mr.. Sinclair, conditions
are bad. We are mostly suffering
from the shortage OF coal at our heat
ing plant at Fourteenth and II streets.
The Navy and United states fuel
yards are also suffering from a short
age of coal.
Mr.. Sinclair said. however. that
sufficient coal was at present on hand
to gave Westinghouse adequate
lighting. but unless the railroad ad
mnistration PUSHES cars TO the West
Virginia mines a deployable condi-
tIon Is likely TO arise here because
Of the shortage Of coal. Most dealers
in the Capital he said are getting only
one-half OF their normal supply
Conditions are worse today" said
Mr.. Sinclair" than they were during
the war strike OF the miners. E. zee.
Cars Sent To West.
THE trouble Is that after the strike
had been adjusted. the railroad ad.
ministration sent coal cars galore 10
the West and TO New England. and
now there are not enough on hand al
the West Virginia and New River
region mines to be loaded and shipped
TO Washington"
Mr.. Sinclair stated that he did not
forsee at present any possible de
nIands OF the public TO Save coal and
| light, but that If conditions did not
improve in a few weeks that some
stringent action would have to be
! taken.
