|S24O BONUS BILL
TO Be FASTENED
Senate Expected to Act
Promptly on Provision for
Government Employees.

The s240 bonus bill for government
employees will be taken up by the SEN
ate appropriations committee for
consideration tomorrow morning at
1890 O'Clock. 1t Is expected that the
bill will be reported promptly to the
Senate and passed by that body.
Members Of the Senate appropria-
tions committee said yesterday they
thought there was no possibility now
of putting through the reclassifica-
tion bill before the beginning of the
new fiscal year, and that therefore
the intention was to put through the
bonus bill as soon as possible.
The probabilities are that the reclas-
sihcation bill will not become a law
tor some little time. The subcom-
mittee of the appropriations commit
tee in charge of the reclassifcation
measure had a meeting Friday after
noon and will meet again early this
week. 1t Is by no means yet ready
to dispose of the reclassification, how
ever.

MAY MOVE POST OFFICE.
Cabinet Officers to Review Situa-
tion in New York.

Three members of the cabinet, Sec
retary Mellon of the Treasury, At
torney General Daugherty and Post
master General Work, will go to
New York Tuesday night to get first
hand information relative to the pro-
posal to- move the City Hall post Of
flee station from its present location.
The three cabinet members COM
pose q commission. appointed by the
President upon q congressional reso-
luton, approved April z, 1898. a COM
mission who shall have authority to
exchange the land known as the old
post Office site in the city Of New
York for other land to be decided by
the city of New York in exchange for
such site"
The city of New York ceded to
the government in 1866 triangular
tract of land in City Hall Park. upon
which was erected the present City
Hall post Office building, which also
houses a part of the federal offices.
1t is claimed that the building is an
reyesore. that it occupies land which
should be devoted to park purposes
and that the building is inadequate
for its purposes. Tentative pro-
posals have been made that the gov
ernment cede back to the city this
tract of land in exchange for an
other tract better located.

lating to the fixing Of conditions for
a pIebiscite, should one be author
lied. there has been some difference
of Interpretation among highest off,
cials of the delegations. The opinion
seemed to be almost general last
night, however, that the formula
would give the arbitrator power to
define voting qualifications and
methods Of supervision in any plebis-
cite which might be determined upon.
1t is in regard to the third and
final point, involving procedure in
case of a no-plebiscite decision, that
the Chileans and Peruviaua *fave
found their greatest troubles of in
terpretation. It is pointed out that
this question is ono of great ,tmpor-
tance and that both sides would not
care to finally accept any statement
Of it which was not phrased in un-
mistakable language.
Nevertheless, it is not believed that
the hitch will be permitted to seri-
ously delay Peru's decision upon ac-
ceptance of the compromise formula
"in principle" Such an acceptance
already has been communicated to
Secretary Hughes on behalf of Chile
and the general expectation tonight
was that the Peruvian reply would
come from Lima today or tomorrow.

PLAN 'HELIUM DiRIGIBLEs
FOR ARMY, AIR SERVICE
Three Ships Under Contract, First
of Such Construction to Be
Attempted by o. s.

The Army air service has contracted d
with the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company Of Akron. ohio. for the con-
struction of three more dirigiaIe ships
for the Army. These ships will be de-
signed for the use of helium and con-
seQuently will be 'trifie larger than
the-standard non-rigid dirigible, since
helium has somewhat less lifting
power than the hydrogen gas hereto
fore used. Each Of the new ships will
have a capacity of 225.000 cubic feet
and 1t is expected that the first of the
three will be ready for assembling at
the Akron plant early next month.
AS helium is non-inflammable, the
contract just awarded means that the
United States government intends to
make its lighter-than-air craft safer
than is believed to be possible with
the use of hydrogen gas. The action
marks also the first construction in
this country Of dirigibIe ships de-
signed for helium.
Some existing ships of the govern
ment have been altered to permit the
use of helium, but those just ordered
will be the first American-built ships
primarily for that gas.

A RInIcULous CLAIM.

Strange as it may seem there arc sven members of the United States sen ate who seem to delight in putting forth hot only improbable but baseless stor- les for the purpose of accommodating strength for their cause. The latest comes from Senator IcCumber who In connection with the debate on the wool duties in the tariff bill under eonstruc- hon made the claim that 1t was not the wool schedule of the Payne-Aldrich tar IF but the refusal of the republicans to approve free wood pup and newsprint as desired by the American Newspaper Publishers association that caused che defeat of the republicans and President Taft in 1912. This. it was his claim, was what was threatened if the tariff was put on pulp and paper and that 1t what resulted.
 Whatever may have bsen said by someone representing the association in his efforts Go have pulp and paper go on the free list more than ten years ago. it Aas taken a long time to give it public iry. and it gives greater power to the newspapers than they are entitled to.
 Perhaps Senator McCumber believes what he said. but he must have known that the newspapers were not a unit sor the democratic candidates in the con- grezsionaI election of 1910, that they did not change their political complexion or efforts because of the action on pulp and paper and that the defeat of Presi- dent Taft for reelection was due to the split in the republican party.
 If an the threats that are made to congres essionzl committees were carried out there would be a high old time Whatever may have been said by one member Of the association according tc his quotation did not speak for the newspapers of the country, and 1t Is evi- dent that if the newspapers could turn such an easy trick as they are charged with thera would not be any chance henceforth of electiny candidates wht didn't put themselves under the contro Of the newspapers. Senator McCum- her must laugh when alone by himself at the folly of putting forth such a statement and expecting 1t to be taker seriously.

WORKING FOR GREATER SAFETY.

Much has been said in behalf of safe ty and special weeks have been devoted to keeping it before the public. It can not be said that 1t hasn't accomplished good It isn't possible that many have failed to absorb some lesson from it or been brought to give more thought to protection of self and others because of it.
 Nevertheless the effects of failure to observe it. are apparent. Deaths from preventable accidents continue to in- crease, and in view of the need of turn ing the tide in the other direction there isn't a community in the country that cannot fail to be interested in the effort which is to be put forth by the Safety Institute of America through a cam paign to be conducted in New York city for the lessening of the number of &C., cidents.
 Because he is a man who does things added interest will be attached to this since Judge Ebert H. Gary has consent ed to be chairman of the campaign which he will start off with a Safety week and in which he will have the aid of ST assistants. It is a campaign in which the efforts are not going to be en- tirely voluntary. The aim Is to reduce the accidents and being so well organ ized, as is indicated, 1t is going to be possible 10 tell whether desired results can be obtained. If this campaign of education accomplishes what is sought in the metropolis for week 1t can be done at all times. That is what is needed not only in New York but mosi everywhere else.

SPEAKING FOR THE COUNTRY.

Even though Samuel aompers has been quick to sense the bad break that was made by any man in addressing the president as did J. Cleve Dean, chair man of the Railway Employees Publicity association, to brand him as a straw man and to believe that no attention ought to have been paid to such a com munication from an unknown, it is an doubtedly true that there are men who talk and feel as J. Cleve Dean does, and the response that was made to his com rnunication by the president may serve to set such people right even though Dean Is a straw man.
 President Harding clearly and care' fully set forth the successive steps in connection with the strike and the prin- ciples which have been followed by the government and its agent and laid due emphasis upon the fact that there is just as much right for a free American to accept employment as there is for oth- CTS to decline to work. And the presi- dent takes care to point out that 'The difference between the two positions is that striking railroad workers exercise their rights of freedom in seeking to
  the country, notwithstand--g the provis- ion made by law for the consideration of any just grievance, and the striking miners seek to prevent the production of coal necessary to common welfare, not ! withstanding the offer of an agency to make an impartial settlement, while the men who choose to work in response 10 the call of the country are exercisin@ their like right. and at the same time are making their contribution to our common American welfare"
 It doesn't make any difference wheth- CT MT. Dean is man of straw or not the response of the president was to the point and in that as in the repeated ef- forts which have been made to bring 1 about a settlement of the strikes he has the support of the American public, and in his reply voiced its sentiments.

THE COAL CONTROL.

The disposition of certain of the Pennsylvania operators to balk at the priority arrangement for the handling of coal as made by Secretary Hoover is not likely to get much sympathy. It hasn't appeared as yet that the operators have an entirely clean slate in connection with the coal business, and it is to be recognized that there Is no excuse why there may be such an inclination on the part of the government in it's endeavor Go get fuel for the public to give the op- orators free rein to price boosting, when it is as a matter of fact one of the com modities which should be selling much lower.
 When the understanding was reached between Secretary Hoover and the op- orators that sales would be restricted to certain prices t was for this very pur- pose. It was In a way a test of what might ha expected. It was, however, simply an agreement which carried no penalty. It was thus easy for certain ones to fail 10 stand by their word, and that Is what some of them did. They were not willing to overlook the chance that presented itself for getting big fat prices for their coal.
 That test. however. made 1t clear to Secretary Hoover that different methods must be used and that those disposed tc profteer must be curbed. This Is what is to be done by the coal board of which Secretary Hoover is the head. If the operators are willing to conform to the ,ates which on the previous occasion were certainly generous to the operator they will be permitted to get cars, but when it IS shown that they are moi tbiding by the requirements they vii Ind that they get no cars to transport heir coal in and under those circum stances they can sell no coal It is z case of being good or getting spanked.
 There Is no reason why the operators should be given free rein to gouge th consumer. whose position as to fuel ha already been made bad enough by tn miners. and those who balk at the coa control are showing themselves up :, 9 most unfavorable light.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
THE BRIGHT CLOUDS

Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. Zech. 10: 1.
 There is something very beautiful in the terms of this promise The bright clouds or 'lightnings" are the harbing- CTS of rain, and God declares that He will make these before He sends the showers. Thus He exercises faith He does not immediately answer the prayer, but requires His people still to wait on Him. He will make bright clouds for their encouragement, but they must persevere in application if they would have showers for their refceshment, and to them that wait upon the Lord' there may be clouds, but are they not bright clouds? The murkiest cloud which can rise on the Armament of the believer has a gilded side ''the Sun of righteousness shines on is; God may bring the cloud over His people and, as Elihu saith, linen see not the bright light which is in the clouds" but if the world see 1t not the believer may; and God brings the cloud that it's brightness being acknowledged in and through the acknowledgment of His doing all things welh He may send gracious rain on His inheritance. and refresh it when it is weary. How large the promise-fo everyone o spirit ot the living God, the parched and stricken earth waits Thy descent; come down ir answer to our pCayers. In distant depths, solemn sound, The wheels of Gods great choriot, rolling | slow;
 An instant more and with sharp blazt and boom,

 He was,
 And cooled and lhlled His fainting work l to sleep.

But with the coal mines closed and the railroads inactive these direful things will certainly result In a few months the people of New Eng land and all those living in the northern belt of the United States will impera- lively need coal, but there is little or no coal to be had, and if there was, trans portation is inadequate. The Lacka- wanna system, running through the an- thracite region, has recently taken off thirty-five heavy freight trains a day, and others in proportion. While a real coal famine is not upon us, 1t is certain ly imminent.
