CLAIMS CANVASS
SHOWS SENATE
TO RETAIN BONUS
Typos President Reports
On $24O Measure Killed
In House.

That the s240 bonus for Federal
employees, stricken from the Iegis-
lative- judicial supply bill in the
House, will be reinstated by the
Senate, is the belief OF NJ. A. Boden-
hamer, president OF Columbia Ty-
biographical. Union 101, after a can
vass of the Upper House.
Announcement to this effect was
made at meeting of the union
held in Typographical Temple, 423
G. street northwest, yesterday.
We have taken the bonus matter
up with many Senators and Repre-
sentatives and find that the major
ity of the sentiment is in favor OF
it," said Bodenhamer. "Ih. fact, ac-
cording to the opinions expressed
We feel certain that nineteen out OF
every twenty of the Senators are in
favor Of the granting of a S24O
bonus.
The bonus item was stricken out
of the bill in the House on a point
of order raised by Representative
Blanton. who gave as his reason
the fact that the District fremen
and policemen were not included
do not put any faith in this rea-
son. for 1 believe that Representa-
tive Blanton would have objected
even If the firemen and policemen
had been included. because he Is
not in favor of anyone getting any
thing. There will be no objection
in Washington to the 44-hour-week
rule regarding printers employed in
book and job plants. which becomes
effective May l. according to Bo-
denhamer. I'm some parts of the
country the new plan is expected
to be met with objections, he said

The fight was completed with
practically no mishaps. The only

time within a matter of hours.
The fight started from North

there the flight was made in easy
stages down the barren coast. The

Capt. Henry Muslin commanded
the squadron. Under him Lieut..
