that he had a grievance. He told his
story first to Officer Kelly, then ne
was sent back to "Pat" Mckenna,
doorkeeper for Secretary Christian,
and finally he landed in the office OF
Rudolph Forster and told him his tale
of woe. Herrick's voice could be
heard all over the White House, and
the clerks stopped their work to see
what was the matter. 1t appears that
Herrick is fighting against the con-
firmation of a postmaster IN his dis.

laying his case before the President.
He was not successful, however. 1t

The proposition of an immediate
bonus for soldiers was virtually aban-
doned bv the Republicans OF the Ways
and Means Committee today in favor
of plan for the payment of certltl-
Gates to war veterans. Chairman
Fordncy of the committee announced
that a subcommittee had been appoint
ed, composed of the six ranking mem.
bers of the committee, which will
work out plan for payment of the
bonus "that will not entail payment
of large amount of cash by the
government in the next two years. he
refused further comment on the plan,
but from other sources it was learned
that the committee has in mind the
devising of scheme which provides
among other things that war veterans
electing to take the cash bonus
would not receive money but
would receive certificates of the Unit
ed States for the total amount OF their
bonus. These certificates would be
PAYABLE in three. four or five years, or
possibly longer, the date of maturity
to be worked out later.
President Harding has been asked
bv a delegation from the National
Women's Trade Union League, which
called upon him today. to use his in
fuence in favor Of constructive laws
for women and against the blanket
Legislation proposed by the National
Woman's Party.
"To destroy industrial laws for
women merely because the same laws
do not exist for men is to lower the
whole level Of industry the commit
tee told the President" and it is the
same kind of thing we would have
been doing had we sought to deprive
men of Suffrage because women did
not have it. We want an upward, not
a downward revision of w0men's laws,
and this ran only be had by specific
measures to remove a snecific discrlm-

ATTEMPTSTO STOP LEONARD D-TENDLER
 BOUT HAVE FAILED

Jersey City. N J.. July s2-su- preme court Justice Swayze today declined to issue warrants for Benny Leonard, Lew Tender and Tex Rick ard. leading figures in the boxing bout scheduled for Boyies Thirty Acres next Thursday evening.
 Herbert c. Gilson. representing Jersey City ministers and the society of New Jersey for the prevention of crime and the promotion of morals, applied for the warrants. on the ground, that the contest would be 8 prize fight and violate the state law. In denying also an application to prevent the bout. the court held that it had not been shown that the principals had yet committed any violation of the law and until they had. the court could not act In presenting his case against the lightweight championship bout, MT. Gibson said:
 'It Is to be prize fight. The spic- lures, tickets and advertisements es . tablishes this fact
 'The show Is to be promoted by George l.. Rickard. who was con- victsd in the federal court This fight is in direct violation of the laws of Now Jersey. which forbids decisions The only way a championship ma ' be won Is by knockout
 T have here in my pocket an affidavit of man who visited Leon ard in his training camp. This man talked to Leonards trainer, who said the odds were 8 to l that Leon- ard would knock out Tender.
 Therefore, there Is no sense in calling bout. in which there Is to be a knockout, boxing exhibition ask that these three men be placed under bail to keep the peace"
 In denying the application. Justice Swayze said:
 Tt would be foolish for me to pre- tend that the probabilities are not In favor of your proposition that these men intend to violate the law. I don't doubt that this Is their in- tention and that their preparations have that end in view.
 But I part company with you un- til some actual crime has been com mitted."
