Less Than IL Senators Take
Part in Debate; McCumber
Leads Consideration

WASHINGTON, July s.-Debate on
the soldier bonus bill dragged along
in the senate today while the list or
senators favoring indefinite postpone

expected to follow reading of the mes
sage.
Less than a score of senators fol-
lowed the days debate. Senator NC
Cumber. Republican OF North Dakota,
CHIEF proponent of the bonus, led the
discussion.
i have heard neither She president
nor the secretary of the treasury de-
clare to have it become operative jan
uary l, 1922, as contemplated in the
pending bill, would be too early

est plea of the president not to en-eI
into new fields of expenditures. this
congress has appropriated millions 10

this congress seems bent on spending
all the money that can be raised by
taxation. Why, then, should we eX-
pect a tidal wave of CONSERVATION to
sweep the country if we pass a bill
that will taken 5000, 100000 two years

after and after 80 years no appropria-

The senator then read accounts of

over a list of expenditures requested
under several pending measures, such
as the Townsend road bill and the
Norris farm export bill, Senator Nc
Cumber asked, why hasn't the secre-
taIiy of the treasury looked upon these
with concern"
There is ample opportunity TO re-
duce our expenditures enough to take
care of any annual payments under
this BILL" he asserted.

TWO AMERICAN
WARSHIPS ARE
ORDERED FROM
MEXICAN PORT.
Cruiser Cleveland and Gun
boat Sacramento are not
Needed at Tampico
NOT FIGHTING LABOR
Hughes, Responding to Plea
From Gompers, Says y. S.
Not Bothering Unions
NOT FIGHTING LABOR

WASHINGTON, July Withdraw
al of the cruiser Cleveland and the
gunboat Sacramento from Tampico,
Mexico. was ordered today by the
navy department In making this an
nouncement, Secretary DENLY said
that the order had been issued by
mutual agreement with the state de-
partment
The warships were ordered TO the
Mexican port early this week by the
navy department. Secretary DENLY
explained that information had reach
ed the department that labor troubles
were probable in the Tampico dis
trict because of the shutting down of
American oil activities, due to the
new Mexican oil tax and that the
warships were ordered to the port to
protect American lives and property
in the event that that should be ne
cessary. Before the announcement
of the withdrawal of the ships came
from the navy department it had
been indicated at the state depart
ment that the vessels would not long
remain at the Mexican port because
their presence there at this time
would not be necessary.
Secretary Hughes in replying today
before the. withdrawal order was is
sued, to protests OF labor leaders
against the sending of the warships
to Tampico. wrote Samuel Gompers,
president of the Pan-American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, that the presence
of the ships has nothing whatever to
do with labor unions or with disputes
between employers and employees.
1T is simply precautionary meas
ure for the purpose OF assuring aue'
quate protection to the lives anu
property OF American citizens, ne
said. at is hoped, of course, that
this protection will be accorded Dy
the local authorities.
Gompers' protest was based on Z
telegram from +. c. Dawson and
John Kelly, representatives OF the
international Association of Machin'
lists, who are attending the Mexican
federation of labor convention at Or'
izaba. The telegram requested Com
ners to enter protest TO the govern
ment against the statement in MeXi
90 that American warships are al
Tampico to fight labor unions, anu
10 protect lines OF petroleum inter
ests."
"The fact that our warships are
now at Tampico is being exploited by
the employing interests there to the
effect that these war vessels are al
Tampico for the avOwed purpose OF
over-awing the workers who are now
engaged in a lockout imposed upon
them" was a fairly drawn inference
from the telegram he received said
Gompers. go
He sent a similar letter 70 Secre
tary DENLY.
