U. S. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MAY OPPOSE BONUS PLAN

ATLANTIC CITY. April 27.-The
United States Chamber of Commerce
would go on record as opposed to a
granting of n bonus to soldiers who
served in the world war by adoption of
a resolution submitted for action by
the resolutions committee at the ini-
tial session of the eighth annual con-
vention today. The resolution de-
clared mot only half a million negroes
in the south who would probably quit
work until the money was spent, but
predicted there would be an orgy of
spending that labor would be disor-
ganized and production would de-
crease.
The chamber also received report
of its national committee on European
finance. In which 1t was asserted that
while American bankers and business
men were friendly toward aiding in
the rehabilitation of Europe by pri-
vate investment, no such action can
be looked for until peace is formally
concluded and the United States
adopted definite policy of sanction
and cooperation.
Revision of the excess profits and
income tax, 80 that large investors
can afford to put their funds in other
than tax-free securities is urged in
the report, the point being made that
only by the freeing of large capital can
any appreciably progress toward lead
ing Europe's needs be made.

of telephone and telegraph messages
would be sent at the same time. He
t old the scientists that both telegraph

established recently between Fort

Potomac river by the use of bare
phOsphor- bronze wire laid in the
river to connect the two stations.
Similar communication was estab-
lished between two stations at the sig

Vail New Jersey by using bare copper
wire buried about eight inches in the
earth and connecting the two stations
about three quarters of mile apart.
