STRIKING SHOPMEN PICKET
PENNSYLVANIA R. R. TODAY
Union Leaders Claim of go Per
Cent Walkout Here Denied

Picketing Of the shops Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad began today. In an
effort to fcrcstnl what seems to be the
complete collapse of the shop crafts
strike. union leaders are taking this
means to determine what effect the
walkout has had.
From all appearances the walkout has
failed. At least it has failed to tie
up the railroads in this vicinity. Con-
ditions on the Pennsylvania were nor
NAL. both passenger and freight trains
in all four regions of the system run
ming on time. barring incidental delays
due to the holiday rush. Car and
engine shops generally were closed for
the holiday.
On the Reading Railway the day
passed without incident. No shopman
on that road Is known to have joined
the strike, as they are members Of a
different organixatin than those on other
roads running out Of the city. The
situation at the Baltimore and Ohio
shop at Thirty fifth and Jackson streets
remains unchanged.
At the headquarters Of the car shop
strikers 1t was said that today would
tell the story. Leaders Of the strikers
assert that GO per cent Of the Penn
sylvania workers will be shown to be
on strike. This Is denied by company
officials, who say conditions remain as
they were before the strike was called
last Saturday.

Turned
Cold Shoulder
to Wales Prince
Ry 4ssOctated Pressl

Rangoon, Feb. 1.-THE attitude OF
the people toward the Prince of
Wales was indicated on his arrival
here. The prince was given the Gus
tomary show of welcome, without
any attempt being made at violence.
Yet the stands erected to seat the
crowds were not nearly filled. A
large per cent of the people who
turned out to greet the prince were
children from government schools
and government aided mission
schools who were required to be
present.
The national or native schools
gave their quarterly examinations
for the expressed purpose of pre-
venting the students from greeting
the prince. In the stand where the
Associated Press correspondent was
stationed, very few of the people
rose from their seats or gave any
form of deferential greeting as the
prince passed by.
Personal inquiry showed that in
the bazaar district a strict hartal
(boycott) was being observed. Prac-
tically all the Burmese and Indian
shops were closed in silent protest OF
the princes visit. Most of the Chi
nese places remained open. Very few
gharries (carriages) except private
ones, were seen in the streets. !.
The prince came here by the
steamer Dufferin from Calcutta
where he had been since December
"a. While there he received the hon.
orary degree of doctor of laws from
Calcutta university and dedicated the
Victoria Memorial, the cornerstone
of which had been laid by his father
A hartal was observed when the
prince arrived in Calcutta.

Collins ScOrns De Valera.
lRH Asaaciafad PHaasl

New York, Feb. 17.-John Dewey,
editor of several Irish publications,
has made public sable message to
Michael Collins, that he cannot ac-
cept the view that England's wish to
have Ireland in the league of nations
is worth anything as an acknowl-
edgment of Ireland's independent
statehood.
"Ireland's representatives would
be utterly powerless in body abso-
lutely controlled by England for her
own purposes" the message says.
Mr.. Dewey assures Mr.. Collins
that although uncompromising re-
publicans, our best men here under
existing conditions favor giving the
free state chance to do what it
can for Ireland" He says he is ut
terly opposed to De Valera's at
tempt to upset the free state gov
ernment.
"The defeat of De Valera's selfish
campaign is absolutely necessary in
Ireland's dearest interests"

BONUS BILL WILL
OCCUPY CONGRESS
NEXT FEW WEEKS
Harding's Suggestion Is
Being Discussed
Today
FORDNEY PROMISES BILL
Says One Will Be Sub
mitted in Next Ten
Days and Passed
(By Associated Pressl

Washington, Jan. 17.-Majority
members of the house ways and
means committee, in whose hands
the soldier bonus problem now rests,
before meeting today had indicated
they planned first to consider Presi-
dent Harding's suggestion that the
cash payments be deferred until they
could be made in lump sum instead
of spread over a period of two and
half years. 1t was stated that Of
ficers of the American Legion would
be called in first to give tehir views
on this alternative which the COM
mittee planned to examine instead of
taking up Immediately the question
of taxation or other means of financ-
ing the bonus.
Whether the bonus bill could be
put trough with a general sales tax
provision, as recommended by the
president in his letter yesterday as
the only alternative in his view, to
postponement of the legislation, was
regarded by leaders generally today,
both republican and dtmocrats, as
too uncertain to warrant prediction,
in view of the strong opposition to
such a tax. Some of those favorable
to such a tax, however, believed that
many of those now opposed to it
would come to accept such a pro-
vision in the bill rather than see the
bonus program defeated.
