PITTSBURGH CHIEFS
SUBMIT IN PART

Pittsburgh. Pa. Aug. 23.-The
Scale Committee Of the Pittsburgh Coal
Producers Association today ordered
the 1902 scale posted at all mines
owned and operated by its members but
declined to yield TO the demands of the
I. VI. W. that the check of provision
Of the scale be enforced. About $4,000
union miners are affected.
Members of the committee explained
that before the strike was called the
Association had declared against a ma
tional wage agreement and the check
off while 1t was willing to meet, in
wages. the competition of the nom
union field of Western Pennsylvania.
The national agreement had been abnn-
doned, they declared. and the new
scales posted yesterday eliminated the
competition of the non union operators.
That left nothing between them and
their miners. they added, except the
checkoff. and this the association had
definitely decided not 10 accept. Dis
trict officers of the L. NJ. w. said their
miners would not return TO work until
the full union scale had been signed.
Forty thousand bituminous miners in
Westmoreland and Fayette Counties to-
day had before them an offer of in
trtdseu "uRes tuHui W tue HlBHebI the
mining industry has ever paid.
Union leaders representing seventy
five locals controlling more than TO- 900
miners voted almost unanimously Mt
Footedale, in Fayette County, to pass
up the average increase of nearly 81. 30
day until recognition Of the union was
accorded by the independent companies
making the offer. Most of these men
were striking employees of the II. c.
Frick and W, U. Rainey interests, two
Of the country's largest independents.
Mine operators today were prepa red
for rush of returning miners and had
extra deputies here on hand to prevent
disorder.
More than 1000 deputy sheriffs were
re enforced by several companies of
State police to maintain order In Fay

M'CUMbER PLEADS
FOR SOLDIER BONUS
Political Honor Demands Pas
sage Of Bill, Says Senate
Committee Head

Washington, Aug. 23.-Enactment
of soldiers bonus legislation at this
session of Congress is demanded by
every precept of financial justice and
every principle Of political honor.
Chairman McCumber, of the Finance
Committee, declared today in open "
Senate debate on the amended House
bill, with its bank loan certificate pro :
vision in lieu of the original proposal
for n cash bonus.
Asserting that the term "bonus'
was misnomer, Senator McCumber
said the purpose was to eQualize in a
measure the pay of the men called to
the colors with that received by those
who stayed at home and profted by
what he characterized as wild,
drunken orgy of extravaganza that ac-
companied the war.
Mr.. McCumber told the Senate the
time had come for Congress to show
it was mot attempting to play politics
with the American soldier" that it was
acting lin good faith when it passed
the first Bonus Bill just before elections
in 1920.
THE President in his campaign of
1920 declared in favor of some kind of
soldiers compensation bill," he con /.
tinued. Republicans both in the
campaign and on the floor of the SEN
ate have reiterated their determine =
ton to make good these promises. They
were made in good faith and that good
faith will be manifested by the vote on
this measure
Referring to the position taken by
President Harding and Secretary Mel
Ion last year, when the Executive
asked the Senate to defer action on the
Bonus Bill on account of the cOndi-
tion of the Treasury. Senator McCum-
Der requested that they now view the
legislation lin the light of present day
conditions"
''These changed conditions certainly
must appeal to the Judgment for n re :
vision OF the views of year ago." he
said, adding that the Government could
meet every dollar this bill will call for
without an additional tax levy and
without in the slightest degree affect
ing the refunding of any unpaid short
time obligations.
Senator McCumber argued that the
funds necessary for the bonus legisln
ton would be obtained from the refund
ed foreign debt, and that If the refund
Ing were not completed when IL became
effective the interest from the British
debt, which he said the British Govern
ment already had planned to pay, would
be sufficient.
In this connection he declared that
to his mind there had been an unnec-
essary delay in funding the foreign OBJ
legations, demanding that there should
be a settlement with the principal debt
ors, Great Britain, France and Italy.
