If in 1914, continued Mr.. Nichols, we
had been told that in FIVE years a man
who could not read or write would be
making five to eight dollars day, and
other workers drawing proportionate
wages; if with all the work of all our
labor it had been said we could net pro-
duce goods sufficient to supply our
needs; that foreign nations would be
fairly begging US for goods and credit.

Mr.. Bainbride Colby would make q
safe and able President of the United

that office, yet by decree of fate he
might be called as Secretary of State
to occupy it. This possibility that
in the discussion Of Mr.. Colby for the
lesser Office has been overlooked gen.
orally. Under ordinary circumstan-
ces neither nor any of my Republi.
can colleagues would desire to inter
fere with the President in his choice

stances now are extraordinary. We

STRIK ERS WORKING

Union workmen, representing IA
different trades unions in the city,
took part in a parade Saturday night
as a protest against the employment
of professional strikebreakers by the

BONUS DELAYS
ANGER FORDNEY

Washington, March 9.-Charges
that members of the house ways and
means committee were "endeavoring
to kill bonus legislation by delay"
were made today by Chairman Ford
ney, of Michigan, when the committee
resumed hearings on soldier relief
legislation.
81 am ready to begin business now"
the chairman said when members sug-
gested hearings be postponed until
after the legislative committee of the
American Legion had met March %
to further consider soldier relief plans.
81 don't want to crowd this meas
ure, but we know the attitude of for
mer service men," the chairman con-
tinued. "Every officer who had good
pay doesn't want a bonus. The pri-
Yates who suffered financial losses are
overwhelmingly in favor of some re-
lief plan."
Representative Kitchin, Democrat,
North Carolina, said treasury depart
ment officials ought to be heard by the
committee before any plan was work
ed out. Chairman Fordney replied
that the attitude of treasury officers
was we'll known.
"But we want to get their state
ments into the record" Mr.. Kitchin
replied.
The committee decided to call Sec
retary Houston, Assistant Secretary
Leffingwell and Governor Harding of
the federal reserve board Thursday
81 want to get bill drafted CIV
ing soldiers the aid they Deserve
Chairman Fordney said.
"You would not want to violate the
economy program of Mr.~Mondell
would 'you?" asked Representative
Kitchin.
"I notice when there was bill af-
fecting Mr.. Mondell's state he was
not the champion of economy" the
chairman retorted.
Representative Morgan, Republican
Oklahoma, urged adoption of a bill
creating a government corporation foi
the purchase of farms. 1t would have
capitalization of 100000, 900, all OF
which would be subscribed by those
benefiting under the bill.
Asked If he was opposed to "the
cash bonus proposition, "Mr. Morgan
said land bill was primarily neces.
sary, but that "a bonus .weuld not bt
objected to-"

plant exclusively to the manufacture
of Comfort garments
The company has rented the Bacon
