BONUS BILL NOW
BEFORE HARDING

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s-The
Soldiers bonus bill was before
President Harding today. The
Presidents attitude towards the
bill was the one big question be-
tween friends and foes Of the bill.
In the usual course the first
action Of the executive would be
to refer the measure to the Trea-
sury Department for an opinion.
Secretary Melons attitude is well
known, he has opposed such legis-
latton on the ground that the
federal treasury was not In con-
dition to stand further drains
upon 1t. Should Mr.. Harding
send the bonus back to Congress,
an effort would be made to over
ride his veto, according to those
who have had charge OF 1t in the
Senate and House. Supporters be-
lieveds far more than the necessary
two thirds majority in the House
could be obtained, but they were
not so certain about the Senate. +,
II the issue comes in that body.
the outcome may hinge % the
number of Senator's absent from
Washington. While the confer:
euce report was adopted yesterday
by q two-thirds majority IS to ] z,
1t required only one senator for
to pair one senator against,
whereas in the voteto override a
veto II would require two senators
for to pair one opponent.

. OUT THREAT TO .
SHUT FACTORIES
When Suspension is Complete
Tonight 100000 Men
viii Be Affected.

DETROIT, Sept. 1S,-As a pro-
test against paying what he be.
lieyes to be exhorbltant prices for
coal, Henry Ford today began the
process Of closing up his huge In
ddstry.
With the suspension complete
when the last shift OF workers
leaves the various factories to.
night, approximately 100000 men
will have been rendered idle for
an indefinite period. The plants
affected include the 1--WE factories
in the Detroit area and number
Of assembling stations throughout
the country. Other concerns. the
output OF which goes. chiefly to
the Ford company, also are expect
ed to suspend operations. MIR.
Ford has declared that there was
no coal shortage in the country,
but that operators were holding
enough coal to supply the needs
Of the country and that the public
was being gouged by the dealers.
He also criticized the government
agencies for their method Of APP
portioning coal. The past week
brought some Improvement in the
fuel situation, Ford officials as
serted yesterday, but this, they
said, did not warrant a change in
the suspension order. The first
lay.otf Of men occurred last mid
might at the River Rouge Blast
furnaces where about 5000 are
employed. When shifts were
changed the workers turned in
their tools and were told not to
return until notified Of a resump-
ton Of operations. Two thousand
men are to be retained at this
plant, however, to tend the coke
ovens which cannot be allowed to
cool.
At the Highland Park plant the
night force went to work Is
usual, but completion of the
nights work brought the same
NOTICE given the steel workers.
The day an dearly night forces
iwereSto be checked out in d sinh.
lar manner. Approximately 40.
900 men are employed at this
lplant. ,SSsS
The Remainder OF the workers
affected are employees OF the Dear
born Tractor factory. the Lincoln
| plant, factory at Worthwhile, and
those in cities outside OF Michi-
gan.
Since deciding to close his fac
tories, Mr.. Ford has held daily
conferences with his executives In
an effort to solve the fuel and
materials problem, but in every
market considered he said, he
found prices higher than he be-
lieved they should be.

FALSE RUNOR.IS
CAUSE OF WORRY
Report That Four Miners
Had Been Killed Is
Without Basis.

A report carried in a Clarksburg
paper this morning to the effect
that four coal miners were killed
when shots were fired into the
open drift opposite the mining
town OF Harding was brand
ed as false by j.. F. Forinash,
Grafton, president Of sub district
8, district Il, United Mine Work
ers Of America. He says no one
was killed and claims that there
was scrap on among the guards
and that one OF them was shot
in the finger.

mash to the extent that no one
was killed. The dispatch follows:
There was no casualties result.

VIII Not Sign Up
For some time the West Virginia

on a non union basis and did SO
before the coal strike was ended.
Reports are conflicting as to the
success Of the non union yproduc-
ton. The company apparently Is
we'll satisfied with the results as
It desires to continue the policy.
On the other hand the miners Of
ficials claim their efforts are not
as successful as intimated.
Decision Made "
1t Is understood that for some
time the company had the PROPOSE.

result Of straw hat riots which

there was too many hats. 1t had

IN TAX POLICY
Still Many vexing Problems
Remain HalIanan Says
\ in Report.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Sept. 1e.
West Virginia has taken a long
step toward clarifying its taxation
system but It still has yexatious
problems to solve in revising its
revenue laws to fit existing condi
lions, according to the annual re,
port of Walter s. Hallanan, state
tax Commissioner, which has just
been filed with Governor q. F. Nor.

The report, covering ,twenty.one

tutlonal amendment to limit leviea
and classify all property for taxa

A gasoline sales tax OF one cent
gallon is recommended by Mr.
Hallanan, nithe report, which says
in this connection:
~ wish to make 1t understood
definitely that my suggestion of q
special tax on gasoline consumption
is not for the purpose Of adding anJ
new tax methods directly, but rath

must otherwise bear"
1t is pointed out that one OF the
heaviest financial drains on the
states resources is the extensive
development Of public highways
and that as good roads primarily
are Of greater benefit to the own
ers Of motor.driven vehicles, such
a tax Is not unjust. The report adds
that a gasoline sales tax Is now II

The report recommends that car
