BONUS ISSUE

G. @ p. SIDE
Squeezed Senators in
Threat to Bolt
Leaders.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2-squeezed be-
tween the bonus or no bonus" issue, set
up by the Democrats, many Republican
Senators today were threatening to bolt
their leaders and vote for some pro-
posals TO grant the demands OF the
soldiers.
This wavering on the part of Repub-
leans has changed the attitude Of bonus
advocates from one Of fOrelorn hope TO
confidence as the real fight over the pro-
pOsal nears.
Although Republicans without excep-
ton charge the Democrats with pOliti-
cal trickery, they hesitate to vote against
Senator Reeds amendment to the tax
bill, which provides that the bonus be
paid out Of excess profits.
A number Of Senator'S look with favor
'on the proposal Of Senators Simmons and
Walsh of Massachusetts to pay the bonus
from fund created by the interest on
the S11.OO0, 10000 debts due the United
States from foreign countries.

ULSTER MOVE
MAKES IRISH
BRIGHT
Sudden Yielding of
Ulster Changes
Situation.

LONDON, Nov. 2.-The Ulster
Unionist government at Belfast has
finally consented to the dismember-
ment Of Ulster province by which the
Sim Feiners will get Fermanagh and
Tyrone counties, 1t was reported IN
semi-offlcial quarters today. 1t gen.
orally was admitted that such a con-
cession on the part of the Irish
Unionists would insure a peace
agreement between South Ireland
and the British government.
At Sim Fein headquarters it was de-
clared that the REIMBURSEMENT Of the two
Ulster counties removed the last serious
obstacle to peace"
The Sim Feiners had demanded first a
plebiscite in Ulster to fix new boundaries
and later the detachment Of Fermanagh
and Tyrone counties. They based thei
claim on the ground that most Of the
male residents Of the two counties were
sympathizers of the Sim Fein or actual
members Of that party. The Unionists
contended at arst that Ulster must re-
main a unit and that all Ireland must
likewise remain a unit. Pressure was
brought to bear from London and
Ulster Unionists receded from their orig
inal position.
The change from pessimism to opti-
mism, following the revelation that
Ulster was giving way to the Sim Fein,
came with dramatic suddenness. 1t was
generally felt this afternon that peace
was under way and that after all the
Premier may be able to get away for
Washington within the next week. The
experts Of the various committees settled
down late today to work out details and
they were under orders to proceed at
breakneck speed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The Union
Mine Workers of America enjoined by
Federal Judge Anderson Of Indianapolis
from unionizing the Williamson coal fields
OF West Virginia, will have the full sup
port Of the American Federation Of Labor
in their intention to ignore the mandate
Of the court, Samuel Gompers, asserted
last night.
The fight on the injunction and what he
termed the "autocratic" methods Of Judge
Anderson will be vigorous and bitter, Mr..
Gompers said. Organized labor, he in
dicated, will not tolerate nor compromise
with the injunction which labor regards
as clear violation of the Clayton law.
The aged labor leaders defy of Judge
Anderson was issued after he had talked
with John Walker of the Illinois miners
organization, who came to Washington to
discuss the mine labor situation.
Mr.. Walker is understood to have as
sured Mr.. Gompers that the mine union
officials will contest the injunction to the
last ditch and may find it impossible to
keep the miners in various sections from
striking in protest Of the courts decree
Suggestion that union leaders will re-
gard abrogation of the "check-Off" as u
violation of wage agreements and there

''check on system as a matter OF mu-
tual convenience, agreed upon for many
years between operators and miners"
and asserted he could not see any rea-
son why Judge Anderson should inter-
yene now.

BEECH GROVE
BANK ROBBERY
CASE WITH JURY
Miller, on Stand, Makes De
nial of States Chief
Testimony.

The fate OF George w. Miller, who is
charged with being one Of the active
members of a gang of bandits who
robbed the Beech Grove State Bank Of
about 800, 900 In cash and about $4,000
in United States Liberty bonds, on Sept.
0, was placed in the hands OF the jury
late this afternoon. Miller, Glenn Stout
and Clint Shaw are credited with having
been the robbers.
Following the testimony Of Miller in
his own defense shortly before noon, both
sides rested. Special Judge Charles
Wiltsie allowed an hour to each side for
arguments which began at . o'clock.
Counsel for Miller attempted to "alibt''
the defendant out of court by present
ing Thomas Mckinney, motorcycle Of
ficer who is under indictment as an
accessory after the fact. He testified that
Miller was with him at his (Mckinney's 81
garage from about o:30 o'clock in the
morning to about 1890 o'clock In the
afternoon on the day that the bank was
robbed.
MCKINNEY DENIES
sHAW'S STATEMENTS.
Mckinney made n sweeping denial of
testimony given by Shaw who testified
yesterday for the State that Mckinney re
ceived 800 of the money taken from the
bank. Mckinney denied that he went to
Stout's home and was told that too
many people were around" while the loot
was being distributed. He claimed that
Miller and a man by the name Of w. c.
Mcbride, a mechanic of S21 River ave
nue.. worked with him on his machine at
the time tho bank was robbed.
Mcbride. probably gave the strongest
evidence in the behalf OF Miller as he is
not under indictment nor In any way con-
nected with the Beech Grove Bank rob
berry. He claimed that Miller, whom he
met at MeKinney's garage for the first
time on the morning of Sept 3, was work
ing on McKinneys car and that Miller
stayed there until after II o'clock noon.
MILLER MAKES
FULL DENIAL.
Miller in taking the stand declared
that he had never been in Beech Grove
and was at McKinney's garage at the
time the robbery was staged. He ad-
mitted that he was friend Of Stout

STRIKE BILL HAS COST WORKERS

Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.

Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Workers
forfeited $1,170, ,OOO, 900 in wages as a
result of strikes and IOckOuts during
the frSt half of 1921, is indicated in
data of the Department of labor.
Cost of strikes to workers for en-
tire year at this rate will be roughly
1873 per cent of the Nations total in
dustrial pay roll. 1t represents a
sum sufficient to have almost wiped
out unemployment throughout the
United States, providing jobs for an
entire year for nearly 100000 per-
sons.
Loss to employers as a result of
strikes and lockOuts Is not known,
although 1t Is estimated at from three
to four times tha loss to workers. To
the public, the cost would be further
mRgnified In increased prices of neces-
stiles.
From January to June inclusive, a
total of 1921 strikes and lockouts
were referred to the Department of
Labor for settlement this year. For
the Same period last year the total
was 1880. Lockouts for this year
numbered thirty-seven, showing that
