As kipling Says

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The headlines in some Of our
New York papers cry defiance to the
bonus legislation which the fair
minded aud stra: ght-thnkins men in
our Congress are about ID pass, desp tc
The wolf pack swapping at their heels.
Ihey even quote Senator Borah as he
busters and shouts defiance to the
men who made this country safe for
such rs he to say what they wili-in
peace times.
Senator Borah even has the nerve
to say that our noble shipyard heroes
at Sl2 and Sl4 day we're as patriotic
as the poor devil that spcut his life
in sinking, muddy, rat-infested
trench. with nothing to cat and little
chance of ever seeing his home or
family again. How we wish the Sena-
tor had been there instead OF in his
soft berth in Washington. Kiplinc
certainly knew human nature when he
wrote:
VI 40 AO4lait'y iulS, dU OnlihN tnal.
an chuck him out, the brute.
But it's Savior OF his country when
the guns begin to shoot"
And still these noble heroes that
fought the war with a hammer and
saw are now receiving checks for 5000
to $ao0 "adjusted compensation" (and
we can prove it, and no one is asking
where it's coming from or by whose
authority it is paid. BY all means,
Senator Borah, put them sll on the
samo plane and give the soldier the
same deal as the others have already
received

Bonus Discussion
4noer laen Of Letters the Question Before the House
Legion Members Quote Kpliug

10 the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: The rational commander OF the
American Legion, Hanford MacNider.
in speech on the bonus bill says:
"Wilh hundreds of thousands Of
former service men walking The
streets looking Tor work, it is not
the preroga tive of any ore to say
what should be done with them, but
1t IS the duty OF the country to give
TO them what they have been denied"
Many of the cN-srrvice men are Job
less; so are many more who are NOT ex-
service men The real reason for any
one being out OF work is business de
preston, which falls on al workers
alike. Does Mr.. MacNider claim that
two years and half after the dis
charge Of a soldier of the A. t. F. the
government is responsible for his un.
employment? Mr.. MacNider says:
"Tou have heard lot OF the bonus
lately, particularly since great
wave Of propaganda from the
trenches Of selfish interest has
swept across the country, but let me
tell you that that country is for
adjusted compensatlon
How can the country be for adjusted
compensation when every single in
tcrest objects to being taxed to raise
the money to pay it? 1t is self f-cvi-
dent error. for il any Of these objectors
believed in adjusted compensation they
would not object to paving tor it.
Restore thc country to normal
productive basis and Unemployment
wil cease and the need Of $50 every

the streets looking for work will dis

service man. A, UPTON.

Sir: Both for the protection OF 9th

attention to a condition which would
be deplorable at any time, but particu-
larly now when sickness is 50 preva-

still they remained.

Let Business Revive

70 the Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: | have talked to no one who
has questioned the high duty which
rests upon us to care for those who
suffered wounds or disability in per-
forming their part in defending Amer
ica and the world from the most dead
~ peril which has threatened for Gen.

record of victory which gloriHes the
American flag. To think Of less would
be unworthy of the Republic. And that
duty has not yet been fully performed
But to hand out billions of money

BY GUY r. ROCKWELL.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLEVELAND. July 20.-Certain
lines of industry, espe aally iron and
steel. have been curtai.ed this week
through lack Of fuel. A part of tie
great lakes fleet is certain to be idle
in a short time if more coal Is not
shipped. Business men here declare
that upon the settlement of the coal
and rail strike depends the imrre-
diate trend of industrial conditions.
Marine men say the northwest Will
be short of coal as winter starts. as
fuel cannot now be moved last
enough to supply the demand. The
section must be shipped in the -FOUR
months of the summer. and there IS
not enough time remaining before
normal tonnage.
Newton D. Baker, former Secretary
OF War, and president Of the Cleve-
land Chamber OF Commerce. has ap
pointed a committee to effect the
pooling Of coal should such emer-
gency measures be needed here 70
keep Industrial plants in operation.
The Cleveland Illuminating COMPANY
one of the city's largest users OF coal.
reports it has thirty days supply on
hand, as against ninety days supply
when the strike started.
The city has requested houseno
ers to discontinue sprinkling lawns.
figuring that the relief on pumping
stations will save fifty tons OF coal a
day.

NATIONS CROP AIDED
BY WEEKS WEATHER
Too Much Rain Only in Spots, Ac-
cording to Review Of Gov
ernment Bureau.

Another week OF generally favor
able weather for crops was reported
by the weather bureau in its weekly
weather and crop review. Too much
rain rather than too little moisture
prevailed in some localities.
Harvesting OF wheat and other win
ter grains progressed during the
week in the elevated western districts
and more northern sections of the
country. the review said. Rain caused
some interruption in the extreme up
per Mississippi valley and western
lake region. but little trouble was ex
perienced in the northeast and north
west. Threshing was going on in the
interior valley states.
The weather was described as ia
vorable for spring wheat Showers
were beneficial in north-central and
southwestern Montana, but the crop
was furthered in the northwest by
drought. drying winds and hot sun
shine. Cutting of spring wheat was
begun in Illinois. and some fields were
ripe as far north as South Dakota. b
Threshing OF oats. the report said.
showed a poor crop in the Ohio val
ley. The quality of the early crop
was reported as generally good in
Iowa, but with only fair yield. while
the late crop was improved by the
recent rains.
The corn crop improved during the
week in most of the important corn
growing states. although the late
crop needed rain in much OF Texas
and western Oklahoma. Growth and
condition was said to be fairly good
in Iowa; as having been benefited by
showers in most of Illinois: as having
made satisfactory progress in Ken
tucky and Tennessee; as satisfactory
in condition in Nebraska and South
Dakota, and as very good to excellent
in Ohio and Indiana.

TRADE TO EXPAND.

A moderate expansion of business
during the autumn and winter is pre-
dicted by the National Bank of Com
merce. New York. in its monthly re-
view Of general business conditions.
Money is cheap; the crop outlook is ex-
cellent: commodity prices are rising
and with few exceptions stocks of raw
materials and manufactured products
are not larger than necessary to bridge
the normal period between production
and consumption. the bank points out.
Except for strikes" the review de-
clares. "there is little idleness Pro-
duction has expanded steadily since
the beginning Of the year, and as yet
the usual midsummer dullness has been
little felt
Three factors. however. may retard
progress somewhat, the bank declares.
They are the disposition of the buyer to
be cautious and to economze; the lanor
situation and the European situation.
There is every ground to expect rea-
sonable volume of fall business at mod
crate prices. 1t is asserted. but there is
no basis for expectation Of such. volume
at high prices or of boom business at
any price.

Conditions Are Reversed
in Lead, Zinc and Oil Fields
~ DICK SMITH.

Special Disr.tch to The star.
KANSAS CITY. July 2o.-Trtstate
lead and zine fields and mid continent
oil fields have offered evidence the
last few days of how quickly con-
ditions can reverse themselves IN
some of the basic industries OF this
section. Only short time ago the
oil industry was showing boom pro-
portions and lead and zinc ore were
almost drug on the market. NOW
ore purchases are exceeding produc-
tion. whereas overproduction or OIL
has caused two cuts in price WITHIN
three days The second cut in oil OF
25 cents a barrel has carried mio
continent crude to $1.50 a barrel.
This is still so cents a barrel above
the low mark of year ago. but II IS
81 a barrel under the peak price OF
March. 1920. The break in crude was
natural precursor of a drop or
cents a gallon in gasoline and cents
gallon in kerosene. Recent oil pro-
duction has exceeded all previous
records. has created a great surplus
and has caused curtailment of new
drilling operations
Lead and zinc purchases exceeded
production last week by 1000 tons.
This buying was on rising market.
with lead ore advancing $3.50 ton
to s77.56 and zinc ore So ton TO
s36 These advances were made in
the face Of the depressing erect OF
the coal and rail strikes. which are
be ginning to make themselves felt
in business generally.
Only ISIS men were unemployed
in Kansas in June. according to
report Of the idustrial court.
