Mention was made several weeks

orchards have yielded enough to make
the total shipment from this station
a trifle over two hundred cars to

quite extensively, reports that he
bought and sold thirty-seven cars.

labor. 1t is understood that the sell
ling price averaged about Sll5 per
box for all that were sold in boxes.
Many apples were shipped in bask-
cts and several cars in bulk.

is advanced as to the cause of the

BONUS GOES TO.
SENATE TODAY.
Calder to Lead Fight on Floor.
Friends Sure Measure
Will Pass.

Carrying the $24O bonus for Gov
ernment employees and the $l2o
bonus for District policemen and
firemen, the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill prob
ably will be reported to the Senate
late today.
The entire Appropriations Com
mittee supports the restoration OF
the bonus to employees, and there is no
question that it will be adopted by
the Senate.
CALDER TO LEAD FIGHT
Senator Calder will lead fight on
the floor of the Senate to increase
the bonus for policemen and firemen
from Si2O to $24O. but 1t is not likely
that the Senate will overturn the de-
cision of the Appropriations Commit
tee. despite the admitted fact that the
policemen and firemen are entitled TO
the larger amount. and that the
morale of both services II imperiied
by the failure of Congress to make
adequate provision for them.
The legislative bill grants the $240
bonus to employees OF the War Risk
Insurance Bureau. Heretofore these
workers have received only half OF
this amount.
senator Smoot, member of the ap-
propriations committee, expects to
call the joint(ongr essisnal committees
on reorEaniattipn OF. the government
departments f0gether next week. The
conference probably will be attended
by Herbert b. Brown, chief Of the
bureau of efficiency who is to have
charge OF the detailed work of the
reorg anization committee.
PAYROLL. REVISION.
While this committee will not have
direct Jurisdiction over the question
of reclassification of Government
salaries, IL is expected that the work
of reorganizing the Government de-
partments will inevitably merge into
the task of revising the Federal pay
roofs, and that the two subjects should
be considered Jointly.
Senator Smoot Is hopeful that when
the next appropriation bills are
framed the war time bonus can be
abandoned and that a genuine re-
classification OF Government salaries
can be effected in connection with the
report OF the reorganization commit
tee.
