promised increase OF output by the
workers OF Is per cont.
Ii was pointed 1r last night that
when the agreement that expired last
August was drawn and approved in Au-
gust. 1919, the union officials at the
last moment declined to sign the written
form and the manufacturers were
obliged to operate without signed
agreement. This was one OF the things
objected TO by the manufacturers, who
have declined 10 enter into the present
negotiations with the union and who are
united under the name OF the Clothing
Trade Association. Representatives Of
this association returned from Washing
ton last night confident that the Senate
Committee on Education and Labor
would undertake an inquiry into the
clothing industry and into the charge
that the Amalgamated is really a Com
munist organization.
News that the Senate Committee
would hold preliminary inquiry next
week at which representatives of the
ainalgamated and of the clothing manu-
facturers would be called to testify
reached the amalgamated Offices yester-
day afternoon. 1t was said that this
information was the real reason for the
delay in signing the proposed agreement
with the manufacturers. who are willing
to make settlement. The terms Of the
proposed agreement will be examined by
tho Senate Committee, 1t is said. and for
that reason 1t was deemed inadvisable
at this time to complete formally the
agreement by signatures. But none Of
the officials of the union or OF the manu-
facturers' association would say any
thing on this subject or offer any ex-

investigation.
These witnesses, who appeared IN ex-
ecutive session. told of q scheme OF the
amalgamated workers to "sovietize" the
entire clothing industry, showed that
it's ramifications are nationwide, that New
York is it's base of operations, that graft
is notoriously being practised by walking
delegates and shop chairmen OF the
amalgamated, and that the cost OF cloth
ing is enormously increased through de-
liberate methods of underproduction used
by the workers.
In statement to THE NEW YORK
HERALD Mr.. Bandler said he thought the
investigation Independently made by THE
NEW YORK HERALD was of the greatest
value to the public. He cited letter In

ATTACK ON BONUS
PLAN BY SEN. B0RAH
METHOD Is UNJUST TO SOLDIERS
AND DIscREDITABLE
TO REPUBLICAN PARTY.
PLEDGES CANNOT BE MET
Idaho Republican Leader Counters
After McCumber Had Made Pro-
posaIs to Pay in Cash or it's
Equivalent.

ashington.-Proposals to pay in
cash, valuable services, or land, a
| bonus to former service men were adj
vocated in the senate by Senator Nc
Cumber, republican, North Dakota, and
made the subject of savage onslaught
by Senator Borah, republican, Idaho.
Senator McCumber earlier in the
day discussed the bonus bill along
with other fiscal legislation with Pres
ident Harding, and after leaving the
White House said his conference had
given him the feeling that the presi-
dent expected legislation to be enacted
at the persent extra session.
Senator Borah launched his attack
principally at the method and delay
involved in the making of payments
under the bill, declaring it "discred-
liable to the republican party" The
courageous thing to do" he said, lis
to tell the soldiers you cannot pay
them in cash"
Senator McCumber, attacking war
time profiteering, said the adjusted
compensation was a matter of justice
and that the word bonus" had re-
suited in unjusified criticism
"If the republican party is cour-
ageous and honorable it will send this
bill back to committee" Senator Bor-
ah asserted, land do one of two
things; tell the country and the sol
diers that the bonus can't be paid in
cash, or face the prospect of doing it.
This bill undertakes to promise four
billions in cash to the soldiers, and
to promise to the taxpayers that it
will not cost them anything.
Il venture to say that every serv-
ice man understands that it is a prop
osition to give him $500 or $500 in
cash. In fact, it proposed to give him
$50 in July, 1922, and then $50 every
four or five months thereafter. Why
the delay, if this is a moral obliga-
ton of our country, a delay for three
years and half after the war? 1t is
because we dare not put upon our con-
stituents this four billion dollar OBJ
legation, and then go out and tell them
it is done. The scheme is unjust to
the soldier, the taxpayer, and discred-
table to the senate of the United
States"

HELP FOR COTTON GROWERS
and Additional Credits Are Pro
posed BY Solons.

Observation-Disclosures of affording
relief to the cotton growers OF the
south were considered at meeting
of senators from the southern states
with Secretaries Wallace and Hoover.
The situation confronting the cotton
growers was canyassed from all an.
giles and it was agreed that some
means of relief must be Immediately
attempted The two cabinet members
were said to have agreed to the sug-
gestion put forward by the southern
senators that means be found to en-
able banks to make an extension on
the cotton paper now held and also
to place additional credit at the hands
of the growers.
The general belief of those partici-
pating in the conference was de-
scribed as favorable to consideration
OF the plight of she cotton growers
Immediately, the situation facing the
cattle growers of the west having
been alleviated. 1t was not believed
that additional legislation would be
necessary, and it was thought that
action by congress should be avoided
in the interest of speed.

who was largely responsible for the
meeting, announced that another con
ference would be called soon to work
out definite details for affording tie
necessary relief.
