To RUSH BONUS
BILL TO HARDING

Continued From First Page.)
paid their political obligations to tbs
soldier element in full by passing the
bonus measure. look for anything ex-
cept a veto of II.
The politicians in the American
] Legion, who exhibit a degree of faith
and optimism worthy OF a better
cause. refused TO accept the profess
eional political judgment on this
point. Spokesman for the military
organization are apparently sincere
in asserting that the President ap-
preciates the importance of its po-
lltical power and is fully aware of
the fact that the unorganlzed ele-
ments representing the taxpayers are
not to be politically feared.
Consequently the leaders of the
American Legion absolutely refuse
TO admit defeat through a veto. Fur
Their than this they declare that in
spite of the alignment developed by
the Senate vote on Thursday there
will be enough votes on hand to
override an adverse verdict by the
President.
This is the pleasing side Of the
bonus picture revealed by the moves
made in driving It into the White
House corral yesterday. The less
agreeable feature of ito the advo-
Gates of the bonus-is that the ma
iority OF members OF both Houses
display a tendency to wash their
hands OF the whole business on the
theory that they have won and are
entitled to the support of the soldier
element in the Congressional cleo
tons regardless Of the action Of the
President.
The attitude Of the Senators and
Representatives who supported the
bonus clearly indicates that the vast
majority of them have lost interest
in the project to award Government
cash 10 able-bodied ex-service men.
They appear 10 feel that they have
paid their own political bill and that
is the end of it. What the confer
ees who actively set about hopping
up the bonus today will do with It
Is a comparatively small matter.
That these conferees either will

try and throw out the Simmons
TO finance the bonus with
foreign debt payments seems TO be
the prevailing opinion. There also
appears TO be little doubt that the
lower house will permit itself to be
reconciled to the expurgation of the
land settlement features which the
Senate cast into the discard.
The conferees representing each
house probably will make a gesture /
or two in opposition to the ami
hilation Of its own improvements"

OF cunning for Mr.. Reed Bird yes
terday, when the 1892 season open
ed. 1t was so foggy on the marshes
early that It was impossible for the
reedies to be seen or shot, but at
sunrise. the clouds broke and dis
closed large fiocks OF the birds. Sew
eral gunners went by boat to the
marshes along Red Lion Creek and
returned last evening with well filed
game bags. There were many gun
ners from other sections Of the state
on the marshes also.
Father. son and grandson, james
Richard and william Brown. OF near
this city, spent yesterday in the
marshes cunning for the toothsome
reed bird. which have taken up their
abode in this section OF the country
for a short period. A bag of several
dozen was carried home by Jim"
and his heirs. who are known in
every part OF northern Delaware for
their cunning and trapping propen-
stiles.
Many gunners visiting the marshes
yesterday returned with large bags
but "Jim" and his pals were the
most successful according to reports.
A peculiar specie of bird was
shot by the gInners yesterday, when
resembles a blackbird in shape and
partly in color. but its feathered coat
Is mixed with feathers resembling
an altogether different species of
bird. Old gunners say this is the
first season this bird has visited this
section Some of them say It is a
cross between the red winged black
bird and the recently imported star
ling. In size It is much smaller than
the blackbird and larger than the
starting. As table relish Il is said
20 be most toothsome.
Some of the local gunners say this
bird is more desirable than either
the reedy or blackblrd and there IS
no game law covering same, as TO
the selling Of them many made nee
wages yesterday and expect 10 make
a good season selling this bird,
which they claim is a non-migrating
variety.
While discussing the appearance
OF the strange specie of bird last
evening several farmers. who visited
the city. declared they had noticed
the bird among blackbirds killed by
them. when they endeavored TO
drive them from their cornnelds.
No cunning accidents were re-
ported in the vicinity of New Castle
the first day.

BRICKLAYERS MAY
TAKE SLIGHT RAISE

officials OF the bricklayers union
are inclined to believe that no oon-
troversy will arise between union
bricklayers and master masons over
the request of the bricklayers for a
wage increase of 25 cents an hour.
II is intimated that the bricklayers
will be satisfied with an increase of
l2h cents an hour and will not
press their request for the additional
- y cents.
An increase of 1871 cents an
hour was asked for effective
september 1, and another increase
OF l2h cents an hour on Septem-
Der Is, as against the rate of 81 an
hour which was being paid by some
employers.
The employers are nearly all pay
Ing the S1.125h rate now, and in
view OF general conditions IN the
building trade It is not believed the
brlcklayers will at this time press
their request for the $125 rate,
which It Is claimed is being paid in
other cities where work Is more
plentiful.
Many Of the union bricklayers, It
is said, have left the city and OBJ
tanned employment at Atlantic City.
New York and other points where
higher wage scales prevail than in
Wilmington, and so far as could be
learned there is only one strictly
union bricklsying contractor IN the
city.

HOLIDAY GAME.

St Thomas and the Bacharach
Giants will present the main Labor
Day program of sport for VIII
mington on Monday. with a twin
holiday bill OF baseball, morning
and afternoon. at Harlan Field.
The clashes between these two
teams have proven the stellar at
traction thus far this season in To-
cal baseball and have always drawn
packed stands. One of the main
reasons for the drawing power OF
these tussles Is that both teams
fight so hard against each other,
never giving in until the last man
is out.
The arrangements made arrange
ments for the games yesterday
The morning tilt will start at 1890
o'clock and the afternoon program
will commence at $3.50.

OF the bonus bill. but no great diff
Guilty Is expected in reaching a COM
pletely harmonious decision and
passing the buck to the White House
as speedily as possible.
The anxiety Of Senators and Rep
lresentatives who voted to impose a
lstupendous burden Of the taxpayers
to get rid Of the most annoying
problem is clearly established by the
unusual haste made yesterday In
that direction.
The Senate passed the improved"
! ney-McCumber measure late
yesterday afternoon. 1t was re-
ported back to the House yesterday
morning with the Senate amend
ments. The House was informed
also that the Senate had appointed
conferees on the spot to insist on
the acceptance Of its amendments.
There was a slight ripple OF APP
plause contributed by the more ar
dent of the bonus supporters.
Representative Smell (Rep.. N. ".
acting chairman Of the Rules Com
mittee (opposed to the bonus)'
brought in a special rule paving the
way for the appointment of the
House conferees with instructions to
disagree with the Senate amend
ments. These instructions usually
are given to representatives of each
house on conference committees.
In reporting the special rule for
the bonus bill. the New York Repre-
sentative explained that it's purpose
was to expedite the disposal Of the
bonus measure. He took occasion to
say the rule did not represent his
view in the matter. but that OF the
majority of the Rules Committee
members. Representative Pou IN.
c. broke in to observe that the
bonus bill had been discussed long
enough and the only thing lacking
was action.
List of Conferees.
Representative Garner (Texas),
who is opposed to the bonus, sarcas-
tically asked If the conferees were to
confine their deliberations to Repub-
licans as was done by the Ways and
Means Committee of the House in
preparing the bill last March Rep
leSenLatlNe MOuQell AnyO.J Ttputd
that the bonus bill was not a parti-
san measure and expressed the opin-
ion that the Democratic conferees
would be given full opportunity to
present their views.
Speaker Gillett then named as
conferees on the part of the House
Representatives Fordney. Green and !
Republicans, and Garner
and Collier, Democrats. The Senate !
confsrees are McCumber, Mclean |
and Smoot, Republicans. and Sim
mons and Walsh (Mass). Demo-
Gratis.
No time was lost by the House in
sending a message to the Senate !
that the former body had appoint /
ed its conferees and that the House /
with the Senate amend |
ments." In communicating this in
formation TO the Senate the clerk |
Of that body referred to Mr.. Nc 4
Cumber's measure as 1.-The bonus /
BILL" much to the chagrin of its |
who insists that 1t is the 4
adjusted compensation bill"
The members of both houses
Evening journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1888-1932, 1922-09-02
seemed to think this disposed OF

Iseemed to think this disposed OF
the matter as far as they were con-
cerned for the moment. The chief
interest displayed by them was
over conflicting reports as to the
Presidents attitude. An entertain
ing rumor that the President has
ALREADY written his veto message
lacked substance.
The only comment made at the
White House in answer to an in
quiry about the bonus was that 1.-The
Executive has not yet received the
so-called bonus bill" It was not
denied that the President already
has begun TO hear from the people
about the matter both ways The
American Legion has shifted the
muzzle Of its propaganda machine
away from the Capitol and center
ed it on the President.
Soldiers Wire Protests.
Hundreds of kilograms were re-
/ ceived by him yesterday from able
bodied soldiers seeking a gift OF Gov
eminent cash and an equal number
from the taxpayers of the country
who are manifesting a lively inter
est in the situation. The officials
/ of the American Legion urged their
| Congressional supporters to get the
bill to the White House as soon and
with as little conflict of views as
possible. Approaching the condi-
tons in the Senate, Legion sup
porters called on the House con-
ferees to back down. They have
the very best reason TO justify their
suspicion that If the bonus bill is
taken up for discussion again by
the Senate It win have much hard
er shedding than yesterday.
The views of the Legion politi-
clans. however. were considered less
important yesterday than they were
Thursday, for very obvious reasons.
They have been paid off as far as
Congress has the authority to nqui-
date Government obligations. The
chief obstacles toward an agree
ment over the bonus bill are the
clearly defined objections OF the
President and his advisers to the
McNary and Simmons amendments
adopted by the Senate.
The President is known to view
with favor the scheme to work out
a plan for the reclamation of waste
lands in the West and South. But
he is unalterably opposed to max
ing 1t a part Of the bonus enter !
prise, as the Senate insisted on do
ing.
May Cut Out Amendments.
1t is quite probable that after a
little trading back and forth the I
McNary, and probably the Sim
mons amendments. will be elimin-
ated along with the Fordney land
scheme. which Secretary Mellon es-
timated might cost SIS, 900, 600, 600. |
The consensus in both houses seems |
to be that the bill will go TO the |
President stripped OF these three |
features. though both friends and !
opponents Of the bill agree that |
these changes will make no differ |
ence in the result.
The conferees Of both houses |
spent a couple of hours yesterday |
afternoon trying to decide on a |
program. They left the Democrats |
out. Mr.. Fordney whose enthu-
slasm for the bonus bill five or six
months ago was at white heat, caus-

ence gears by insisting that the
bonus bill be held up pending dis
position of the tariff. The same
men have the two matters in charge.
Mr.. McCumber and the majority of
the bonus Senators and Representa-
uves urged that couple of hours"
be devoted TO ironing out the COM
plexities over the bonus. Mr.. Ford
ney objected and insisted that the
attention Of the conferees be cen
tered on the tariff.
