at Lawrence. Mass.

/ Lawrence, Mass, May 2-Employees
of the Patchogue- Plymouth mills to-
day voted to inform mill officials
through The committee which met
, Agent H. A. s. Read last Friday night
they would not go back to work under
any terms otter than the restoration
of the pre- strike wage. The actioD
was taken after a meeting Of the
workers to hear the report of the
committee.
! The employees Of the Patchogue-
! plymouth mills have been idle for six
weeks in protest against wage cut
which followed a temporary shut
down of the mill attributed by Off
cials to lack of business.
| The committee said that Agent
Read told them the wage cut was
essential because the mill had to COM
pete with firms which manufactured
a higher grade product and which had
been cutting prices. He said the pro-
posed cut would not amount to more
than 10 per cent. Workers asserted
that it would amount to between Il
and II per cent.

Want Presidents Views on
Bank and Govt. Loans on
Adjusted Service Certificates
New Plan Calls for Cost Of
Four Billions - Would Use
Foreign Debt to Finance
Measure

Washington, May 2-The soldiers
bonus problem is to be put up to
President Harding again. This was
decided today at a meeting of the
Senate finance committee Repubi-
cans who agreed tentatively upon de-
tails of a measure embodying sub
stantially the House bill plan of bank
and governmen Mt loans on adjusted
service certificates in lieu of the
original cash bonus proposal
Senators said they desired to get
the Presidents views on the newest
bonus proposal explaining that it
would be a waste of time to go ahead
with a measure which the President
might disapprove. They added that
the visit of the committee to the
White House would be deferred until
a complete bill could be drafted and
given further consideration by them.
Full details of the new measure
were withheld, but as now outlined
it would conte emplate no taxes and,
aside from adjusted service certiti-
Gates, it would provide for vocation
al training, farm and home aid, and
cash payments to veterans whose
adjusted service pay would not ex-
ceed $50. The so-called reclamation
section of the House bill has been
eliminated.
President Harding will be urged to
approve the measure in this form
and will be told that it will impose
no heavy burdens on the treasury
during the next three years, while
the present public debt refunding
operations are in progress.
1t is the present thought of pro-
ponents that the ultimate necessary
financing can be done by use of the
foreign debt, though there is possi-
bility that the treasury may have to
issue some certificates of indebted
ness to cover costs in the first year
or two, unless funds from the for
eign debt become available mean
time.
Estimates given to the majority to-
day by Jose phi S. Mccoy, the govern
ment actuary, placed the ultimate
cost of the new bonus plan at ap-
proximately four billion dollars. with
the first year costs S77.000O00, the
second year $92.000,000 and the
third year S73.OOO,OOO and the fourth
year $376,OO0000.
-
explained by reason of the fact that
the government would make loans on
the certificates in that year up to SO
per cent. of the amount of the ad-
justed service credit. plus interest at
IL per cent.
During the first three years. banks
would be authorized to loan to veter-
ans holding certificates one-half of
the sum of the adjusted service cred
| it.

IRISH RAIDERS IN
DUBLIN CONTINUE
TO HOLD BUILDINGS

Dublin, May 2-By A. P.)-The
buildings seized in Dublin by the dis
sident republican troops remain in
their possession, and they repudiate
all rumors that they have any inten-
tions to surrender them.
Ships are entering and leaving the
port as usual, but the seizure of the
port board buildings has made it inn
possible to collect shipping dues. This
fact is embarrassing the port board in
the payment of wages of it's staff of
more than 1000 men.
The Kildare street club, seized by
the irregular troops. some time ago,
has been fortified to resist any at
! tack. II e ta','ree yer of the Masonic
buildings is the source of irritation to
tie more wealthy section of the pop
ulation. The seizure of the Sunlight
Soap building probably had as it's
motive the fact that it houses the tux
master of the high court. who took
refuge there when the four courts
building was seized some time ago.
The Sunlight building commands the
approach 10 Dublin castle and the
city hall from the Grattan Bridge.
The port board has appealed to the
raiders to return it's ledgers which
are being used as barricades. After
a parley with Rory O'Connor. leader
of the dissident troops today, he
agreed to exchange the books for
sand bags. The port board declined
to acquiesce, and has preferred to
cease its activities until it is able to
recover its premises and boo.:s.
News of seizures in Kilkenny W the
dissident forces has been followed by
a report that the Off ial Irish repub-
licSn army troops have recapturcd
| inn ortant buildings and taken 40
| prisoners. The regulars also took
over the Henry and kinnegad bar
racks from the irreSulars, but to
the present the regular forces in
I Dublin have had no similar success

| Much firing and snring were re-
! ported from country districts today,
, but no casualties have been report

! There have been several instances
since the truce, and more since the
arranging of the peace treaty, of po-

night VAS the first instance of re-
prisals
Today's events in Ireland indicate,

compromise. 1t was pointed out to-
night however, that the signatories

army factions include men command
ing the adherence of a large number

tons at various points.

BATTLING FOR RAILROAD
SAY ATTY GENERAL
WAS PAID $4,000
IN MORSE PARDON

Washington, May 2.-Reports that
Harry NJ. Dougherty. now attorney
general, had received a fee of $685.
600 from Charles W. Morse, New
York shipbuilder, for obtaining
Morses release in 1912 from the At
lanta Federal penitentiary, were re-
peated in the Senate today by Sena-
tor Caraway, Democrat, Arkansas,
and denied by friends OF the present
attorney general.
The Arkansas senator said the re-
port was based upon public infor-
nation" Senator Watson. Republi-
can. Indiana, said he had talked with
Mr.. Dougherty about the report, and
that it was untrue.
Senator Moses, Republican, New
Hampshire, broke into the discussion
to say that William G. McAdoo, for
mer secretary of the treasury, had
received large fees" from Mr..
Morse in connection with shipping
contracts recently made the basis of
indictments in Federal courts here.
Senator Caraway made mention
Of the reports as to the Attorney
General during a general attack by
him upon Republican administration.
He added he believed them despite
a pardon for Morse was Mr.. Dough-
erty's greatest achievement" Con-
tinuing, he said, Mr.. Dougherty was
a Specialist in getting pardons for
rich criminals" and added:
He got $25.oo0 and wanted more
and they put him in the cabinet for
what he had accomplished"
Il know what the senator says is
not true" Senator Watson inter-
rupted, explaining he had heard the
rumor. asking Mr.. Dougherty about
i: and was told that the attorney
general had received no fee in the
| Morse pardon case.
Senator Watson said Mr.. Dough
erty was not the counsel for Mr.
| Morse, but for another client who
desired Mr.. Morse's testimony. This
Senator Watson declared. was Mr.
Dougherty's only connection with the
j. pardon case.
Senator Watson contended and
Senator Caraway denied that, as Mr.
Daugherty then was a private attor-
ney it would have been proper for
| him to have taken a fee for securing
a pardon.
| IT understand that Mr.. McAdoo
has taken very large fees from Mr.
Morse in the very contract for which
the attorney general has indicted Mr.
Morse" Senator Moses interiected
And that is not matter of rumol
| but of public record"
Senator Caraway replied that his

Boston, May 2-The seriousness of
the forest fire situation in Massa-
chusetts was emphasized today by
William A. l.. Bazeley, commission
er of conservation, who announced
that more than 1000 fires had been
reported, two lives lost in fighting
them, and no less than SO buildings
destroyed. There has been little
rain throughout the state in the last
few weeks. Fires were burning in
a score of communities and many
others were smouldering on ground
that had recently been burned over.
Every available state and town
agency waS mobiized to meet con-
ditions which were described as the
worst in years. The counties affect
ed are Barnstable, Middlesex. Wor-
cester. Hampden and Berkshire.
Commissioner Bazely said that
carelessness on the part of the pub
lie had caused 95 percent of the
fires. He added that persons found
guilty of violating the forest fire
laws would be vigorously prosecuted.
The fact that no rain has fallen
for several weeks he continued.
supplemented by the fact that as a
result OF the November ice storm
the ground is covered with broken
branches from the trees, makes the
fire hazard exceptionally serious.
The state forester has caused the
issuing of fire permits by town for
est wardens to be discontinued, as
well as the revocation of those al
ready issued"
I'VE have in Massachusetts thou
sands of acres of growth from five
to Is years Of age, which are con-
sidered by many people practically
valueless, but it should be borne in
mind that if this is allowed to grow
only afew years longer, it will be-
come valuable wood and timber"
