NE EASURE To AID
UNEMPL. IS
BEING OPPOSED D
Bi-Partisan Opposition De-
veIops in the Senate and
Fate of the Bill Is Very
Much in Doubt.

Washington, Feb. 15.-UneX-
pected and bipartisan opposition
developed in the senate today to
the bill introduced by Senator
Kenyon, republican. Iowa. to aid
the unemployment problem by en-
powering the government officials
to press public works during slack
times and retard them during
periods of prosperity.
After Senator Kenyon, who is
to retire shortly to go on the fed
eral bench. had obtained consid-
GRAFTON of the bill and explained its
provisions. republicans and DEM
ocrats launched an attack on it
with the result that the leaders
regard the fate of the BILL which
fent over until tomorrow, as in
doubt.
Senator Kenyon, chairman of
the labor committee. said he was
pressing the bill mainly in the in
terest of labor. 1t had the en-
dorsement of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor; United States
Chamber OF Commerce and other
organizations, he added.
Senator Fletcher, democrat.
Florida, said he feared the bill
conferred too great powers on ex-
ecutive officials over government
work. while Senator Sterling, re-
publican, South Dakota, declared
1T was paternalistic in spirit and
was backed by "blg business"
Most Of the witnesses before the
senate labor committee who spoke
for the bill Senator Sterling said,
represented large business inter-
ests. 1t appeared, he added, that
business concerns desired its pas
sage not only for the profits they
might make out of government
work during times of depression.
but also in order that they might
keep their working forces togeth-
er in such periods.
Senator Kenyon said the bill
was concrete result of President
recent unemployment
conference and it's principles were
recommended in resolutions of the
Senator New. republican, Indi-
ana, Objected to a provision of the
bill, which. he said would have
the department Of commerce pre-
dict panics and bad business con-
ditions. This. he declared. might
add to business difficulties when
the facts would not warrant such
predictions. Senator Kenyon in
sisted that the bill did not call for
such predictions by the depart
ment, but only for publication of
facts regarding business condi-
tons.

Winston Spencer Churchill. sec

give the house of commons impor-
tant news that on his suggestion
a Joint commission has been
agreed upon to investigate the
facts of the border conflicts.

The announcement of both Mr.

MOVIE PEOPLE ARE
JUST THE SAME AS
OTHER HUMANS, SAYS

New York, Feb. 15.--Assert-
ing that there were in the
movies men ans women whom
all would be glad to have in
their families, David w. Grif-
fifth, motion picture producer,
today warned the Advertising
Club of Now York against
"the power of the sincere fa-
natical minority"
In a speech which followed
close upon the churcr debate
between Rev. DIR. John Roach
Stratton and William A. Brady,
theatrical potentate, upon the
relative, moral standing of pas
tors and stage folk, Mr.. Grif-
fifth declared no defense of the
movies was necessary.
Shall we attack the banks
when a banker gets into the
newspapers, or the church
when minister gets into the
newspapers?" he asked. I'm
this mornings paper I saw
that a priest had been arrest
ed, charged with the murder of
his brother. A few days ago
l read that the records Of tho
Atlanta penitentiary showed
three minister inmates to each
actor.
Neither the actor nor the
minister should be in prison.
1t doesn't mean anything
against the religion of Christ
if occasionally a minister falls
from grace. The moving pic
ture people are just the same
as all the other humans who
people this earth"

tBy The Associated Press,)

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 15.---
Marked by the preliminary victory

Lewis vain Al. zeal.
| A vain appeal Was made by Mr..
Lewis to direct the delegates to the
wage question. He referred to the
/ threatened coal strike on April
as seemingly inevitable" and pic
tured the miners as a vast army
that was asked to stop on the eve
of battle to wash its own dirty
linen" He contended Mr.. Howat
violated the unions law in seeking
a direct appeal to the convention.
THE only issue here" said
Howat, in his appeal, lis whether
we are entitled to a fair and i'm
partial trial"
Further, the Kansas leader ar
gued that to follow the course held
necessary by President Lewis would
result in the expelled miners case
going again to union officials, who,
he said, had kicked us out of the
unicn."
Mr.. Lewis decision that Howat's
appeal was out of order was over
ridden by the convention on a ris-
ing vote of 977 to S64, but the ad-
ministration forces Immediately
countered with a demand for roll
call of the delegates, contending
that 125 Howat followers who were
not entitled to vote, had been
counted to give the preliminary
victory to the Kansas leader.
Roll Cali Delayed.
The roll call, however, was de- !
layed until tomorrow by the adop- |
tion of motion Of Frank Earring
ten, the Illinois leader and Howafs |
chief supporter who protested
against voting until the credentials
committee had completed its work
of determining who was entitled to
vote as delegates.
After adjournment. both sides |
were busy campaigning among the
delegates, with each predicting |
final victory. The decision hinges
on the roll CALL which, starting |
with the re-opening of the conven-
tion tomorrow, is expected to con-
sumo the entire day.

Some Representatives Sug-

Appropriation Bills to
Provide the Money,
lpy me AssocIated Press.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The SOL
diers' bonus question was tonight
still very much in the air.
Congress was without any Off
cial word from President Harding
as to his views on the subject and,
meantime the committees which
have been handling the problem
continue to mark time.
Among senators and representa-
tives generally, there was consid-
cradle private discussion and con-
lecture with the revival on the
house side of talk about slashing
of annual appropriation bills as a
means of providing the necessary
finances for the bonus.
Studying Proposal.
representative Mondell, Wyom-
ing, and some other leaders in the
house were understood to be giving
this proposal close study. Mr.
Mondell called at the White House
early in the day but did not see the
president. He said afterwards that
the supply measures would be sX-
amined carefully to determine
whether much of the sum needed
Apt lllC JULIUS NpulNt llOb DO OpNtalL
ed from that direction.
This proposition met with con-
siderable response from members
of the house, where apparently
there is n growing desire to put the
bonus through. There were sugges-
tions that as result of the agree
ment for naval holiday as much
as 100000, 900 could be cut from
the naval bill and that another
large sum could be saved by cut
ting down the size of the army. Mr..
Mondell and other leaders were not
prepared, however, to make estl-
mates until more careful study of
the subject had been made.
With the executive known to
look with disfavor upon either the
suggested eight-point tax program,
or a bond issue, sales tax propo-
nents pushed their campaign with
renewed vigor and were understood
to have been we'll satisfied with the
progress made. They were said to
be hopeful that the president would
suggest this kind of tax in his
expected COMMUNICATIONS to Chair
man McCumber of the senate
finance committee.
Sales Tax Opposed.
Some senator's also thought that
Mr.. Harding might make such a
suggestion, but this belief did not
appear to be general. Sentiment in
both house and senate against a
sales tax was said to be SO strons
that there was little probability
that the bonus bill with provision
for this tax could be passed.
Congressional leaders were un-
derstood to be without information
tonight as to when the president
would communicate with Senator
McCumber or whether his letter
would contain suggestions that
might assist congress in shaping its
program.

Effective Farm Relief

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Hear-
ings on rural credits legislation be.
fore the senate banking committee
neared a conclusion today with men,
bers of the committee predicting that
comprehensive bill embCdying fea-
lures Of several of the farm relief
measures now pending would be
ready for submission to the senate
early next week.
At today's committee session Ben
c.. Marsh, who said he represented
the Peoples Reconstruction league.
composed of progressive, farmer and
labor organizations, declared solu
ton of the present agricultural stu
alton lay in passage of the Norris
government corporation bill, rather
than in the extension of farm credits.
What agriculture needs, he said,
is not credits, but higher prices and
legislation which will divorce the
farmers from the Wall street owned
and controlled federal reserve Sys
tenn" He also charged that the com
mittee was not permitting the farm
ers to lay their side of the case be
fore it adequately, but was giving a
hearing to all bankers representa-
tiVes who want to appear.
