bonus measure confidence it will
never become a law. The President
and the Secretary of the Treasury
the state of the Treasury and de-
clared it could not stand the added
drain which a bonus bill would put
upon it. The President has insisted
the bonus bill. II it be passed, carry
provision for raising the money to
pay the bonus. The pending bill
makes no such provision. and it will
be passed without such a provision.
Under a special order entered into
by the Senate several weeks ago. the
bonus bill is to be taken up for con-
sideration as soon as the tariff bill
has been passed. That The bonus bill
will be passed by the Senate once it
comes to vote. even it's opponents
concede. They say they do not ex-
pect long filibuster against the
bonus dill. though it will be discussed
thoroughly. They are banking heav~
ily on the hope and belief the Presi-
dent will veto the bill.
See Tariff Enactment.
The opponents of the bonus insist
that the President will win far more
friends in the country by such a
course than he would by signing the
bill.
The tariff bill. it is now predicted by
Senate leaders on both sides of the cham
ber. will be passed by the Senate by
August Is. or perhaps a few days later.
Then will come the consideration of the
bonus bill.
Defeat of candidates for nomination
for the Senate and House in recent
primaries. who have supported the
bonus bill, has given members of
Congress considerable food for thought.
But the republican majority in the Sem
ate has pledged itself so often to the
passage of the bonus bill that it must
go forward with it. it is said.

Twin SUNS TAO TIMES
BIGGER THAN OUR SUN
Finding Of Heavens Largest
Known Bodies Held Major Dis
covery of Modern Astronomy.
Rr tho Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
VICTORIA, B. c., July 22.-"Twin"
suns, fifty-two quadrillion miles from
the earth, have been discovered
by DR.. ]. S. Plaskett, director of
the Dominion of Canada's astro-
physical observatory here through
the observatory's big seventy-two-
inch reflector telescope, it was an
nounced today.
Scientists here said the discovery
was one of the most outstanding
astronomical achievements of recent
years. The suns have been named
Plaskett, for the discoverer.
DR.. Plaskett has estimated that the
suns burn at temperature of 30,-
900 degrees Fahrenheit as they whirl
around one another. One, the more
massive is believed to be seventy
five times the bulk Of our sun. The
lesser is sixty-three times heavier.
One is $4,000 times as bright as the
sun, the other 10000 times as bright.
Plaskett, DR.. Plaskett estimated, is
more than five times as large as any
known heavenly body.
Reducing the figures to modern
terms, scientists pointed out that an
airplane travelling 200 miles an hour
would require 10000. 100000 years to
travel from the earth to the newly
discovered planets. Light, travelling
at the rate of $4,000 miles . second.
requires more than five thousand
years for the passage.
The announcement of the discovery
quotes Prof. Harold-Jacoby of Colum-
bia University as characterising it
,.the most outstanding Of recent as
tronomical discoyeries'' and as de-
claring that the measurements re-
corded by DR.. Plaskett must be ac-
cepted az most reliable.

THREE ISSUES BAR WAY
TO PEACE, SAYS JEWELL
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 22.-Three main
principles now prevent possible set
tlement of the railway shopmen's
strike. B. NJ. Jewell, head of the rail-
ways department of the American
Federation of Labor. said in state
ment tonight. These issues, he said,
are found in the refusal of the rail
executives:
1. To discontinue contracting out
of work.
.. To establish national board of
adjustment.
3. To continue seniority rights Of
employees who suspended work.
THE responsibility for increasing
losses to the railroads, to the COM
munities they serve and to the wage
earners upon the railroads and else
where, through continuance of the
present suspension of work." the
statement said. rests now plainly
upon the association of railway ex-
ecutives and particularly upon that
small but dominating group repre-
senting the New York banking inter-
ests."
Accuses Railroads.
Pointing out that the Railroad La
Dor Board has decided against the
practice of contracting out railroad
work in certain cases, Mr.. Jewell as
serted that the Erie railroad, the New
York Central and its subsidiaries, in
cluding the Indiana Harbor Belt, the
Michigan Central and the Big Four,
and the Western Maryland road have
all contracted out shop work.
MANY other roads, the statement
said, have followed the same prac-
tice, and always with the purpose and
result of reducing wages. evading de-
cisions Of the Labor Board, degrading
/, working conditions and attacking the
employees organizations"
Asserting that the Erie. New York
Central and Western Maryland as
well as other roads have announced
their decision to fight decisions IN
this matter to the highest court. Mr..
Jewell said the boards decision
against the practice would be set at
naught for years by some roads,
while he said if courts continue to
decide that the boards powers are
only advisory Eventually all rail-
roads will be able to adopt the con-

tracting-out methods of evading the
transportation act wherever it is to
their advantage"
Two Issues Recent.
The contract issue is the only one
of the three issues on which strike
vote was taken, which Mr.. JeweIrs
statement said held up a possible
settlement. The two other strike is
sues were wages and working rules,
1T having been virtually agreed at
conferences that these matters could
be submitted. to the labor board for
rehearing. The seniority and ad-
Justment board issues have been
brought up since the strike started.
Appealing for national adjustment
boards to decide disputes, Mr.. Jewell
said that the Association of Railway
Executives opposed such boards for
the purpose of deliberately over
loading the labor board.
The proposition to deprive men
Of seniority rights because of sus-
pension of work." the statement said,
lis utterly indefensible If the facts
are understood. The right of the
senior employees to be the last laid
off and to have first preference in
selection-for preferable jobs, he said,
was of great Importance, and assert
ed that the railroads wished to do
away with seniority in order to
weed out those workers most active
in protection of rights of their fellow
employees"
Vicious Attack On Rights.
THE purpose of destroying seniority
rights" said the statement, "is a
vicious attack on the right of men
to refuse to work under monaco
ceptable conditions; depriving the
men of seniority, he said, would be
"a sweeping injustice, unparalleled
in modern history.
If the railway executives insist
upon using this suspension Of work,
which they forced upon the employees.
as an excuse for depriving them of
the fruits of long-life, continuous,
faithful service" the statement said,
they will only give further evidence
of the absolute necessity for the or
ganized employees to fight to the last
ditch the conspiracy against their
fundamental rights and against the
general welfare Of all men who live
by labor"

VETO AWAITS BONUS BILL.
IF REPORTS ARE CORRECT
Recent Visitors to White House Freely
Told Of Opposition-Passage Over
Executive Not Expected.

President Harding has informed
recent visitors that he will veto the
soldier bonus bill. it was reported
last night.
Senatorial leaders. who have plan
ned to discuss with the President the
bonus bill and his attitude toward it,
together with such changes as might
be necessary to win his approval of
the measure, denied that they had
intention to veto the bill. They have
put off taking up the bonus bill. or
any legislative matters with the
President until the coal and railroad
strikes have been settled. they said
Nevertheless, the impression that
the President would veto the bonus
bill has gained ground among some
of the senators. it was learned. So
much so. that a poll has been under
taken to ascertain the possibility of
passing the bill over the presidential
veto. 1t would require a two-thirds
vote to accomplish this end, and it
has been developed by the canvass so
far made that at least thirty senators
would not support a motion to pass
the bill over the veto. Probably other
senators would vote against such a
motion also. it was said. Even the
supporters of the bonus plan admit
that it would be very difficult to put
it through il the President refused his
approval.
Ready TO Answer All.
1t is said that the President, in tell
ing visitors he would veto the bonus
bill, declared he had no hesitancy
whatever in expressing his views:
that he would tell any one who put
the question to him - meaning the
legislators, of course.

the country it is reported sentiment
has swung against the soldier bonus
bill has given the opponents of the

She did not include the costs Of
