Representative Tilson told the COM

costs of raw cotton and mill labor
had not advanced more than Is per

Both New England and southern
mills had reaped big profits, Nj. Til

made the greatest net returns. He

/ Although the cost of the cotton
Warns had increased several hundred
per cent, Mr.. Tilson declared that
raw cotton and mill labor had each
advanced not more than fifteen per

HOUSE ORDERS SOLDIERS :.
BONUS BILL FRAMED

Washington, Feb. 26.-By a vote
of 325 to ! the House today adopted
rule referring all bills dealing with
soldiers bonuses to the Ways and
Menas Committee with instructions to
report a comprehensive measure for
monetary and land bonuses to SOL
diers of the World War.
This action resulted from a threat
ened revolt by forty RepublicanseW who
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-03-01

ten days ago Informed the Repubh-
can steering committee that they
would call caucus of House Re
publicans unless the original plan OF
the House leaders to postpone the
considerations of bonuses to soldiers
was abandoned. 1t was finally agreed
by the forty Republicans that the
caucus would be delayed if the bills
were referred to the Ways and
Means &C littee, with the under
standing that a bonus bill would be
reported at this session.
Democratic leaders, during the
consideration of the rule today, IN
sisted that the Republican leaders
did not intend to enact bonus bill
at this session and that the plan
evolved was intended to stop the
agitation among members of the A
merican Legion. Representative Pou,
of North Carolina, ranking minority
member of the Rules Committee, Sue
gested that the proposal be referred
to a special committee of twenty-one
members.
The chief opposition of the Demo
Gratis was centred on move by Re
preventative Campbell to prevent
vote on this proposition. He called
for the previous question and by &
vote of 208 to 1877 confined the de-
cision to the adoption of the rule
and prevented Representative Pou
from getting his plan before the
House.
The agitation for soldiers bonus
stimulated by the American Legion
has become so strong that members
of Congress now believe that political
eXigency will force the enactement
of such legislation before Congress
takes a recess for the national con,
tions.
Representative Mondell, the Re-
publican House leader, who was one
of the strongest advocates of bonus,
es, said recently that the state OF
finances would not permit such an
expenditure.
/ In case Congress decides on bonus
es along the line suggested by the
American Legion, the payment OF
$50 to officers and men for each
month of service, nearly $2,000,000,,
600 will be required. This can be OBJ,
tanned in only one way, the floating
of a loan, which the advocates of
bonuses say could be easily sold to
the American beople.
