FEDERAL TAXES ON
 BANKS TOPAY BONUS

WASHINGTON, June IA. - In the Senate yesterday Senator Ladd of Dakota made the proposal that new and special federal taxes on banks should be enacted. In defense of his suggestion the senator alleged that his proposition, taken in conjunction with the funds to be secured by the payment of interest on the foreign debt, would give the government suf- ficient money to pay the entire sol dies bonus in cash.

EFFORTS TO ATTACH RECLAMATION BILL TO
 THE SOLDIERS BONUS

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Senatol Kendrick of Wyoming today instituted efforts to attach the Smith-McNary Reclamation bill to the Soldiers Bonus bill, as part of the land settlement op- ton. He declared that if this was done, many of the sildiers would exer- else that option rather than take ad- vantage of the cash feature of the bill. This would prove of lasting bene- fit to the nation as well as great as- sistance to thousands of ex-service men.

CINCINNATI, June 14.-The third days session of the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor now being held in the city, found the delegates working towards a disposal of the business of the convention and with greater progress being made. The matters referred to the various committees after the presidents open ing address are fast being reported 2n and action taken by the whole body. So far no great opposition to the out lined program has developed, and none of the resolutions or motions present ed have brought forth any real con. test.
 The vote on the ship subsidy resolu- ton was unanimous against the pro- position favored by the present Repub- lican administration. The wording of the resolution unqualifiedly condemned the bill, and termed it a scheme to enrich certain classes of the so-called American ship owners.
 William J. Bryan appeared at the convention today and was an interest ed listener to the speaking. He is here attending the convention of one branch of the Northern Baptist Church. Bryan expressed great inter- est in the action of the delegates on the ship subsidy bill, but refused to comment on the matter,
 The first symptoms of a split among the delegates appeared when those members who favor radical change in the American Trade Union move ment introduced a resolution calling for the abandonment of the time-hon- ored separation of the unionists into craft and labor bodies, and asking that the Federation undertake the pronul- gation of a plan to unite all the work CTS in every line of industry into a single organization. The leaders among the Federation anticipated this move, and Gompers referred to it in his opening address. A preliminary survey of the sentiments of many of the delegates leads to the belief that the advocates of the One Big Union idea will not be successful in getting the delegates to follow them.
 Senator LaFollette, as an invited guest, addressed the delegates at the afternoon session. LaFollette who de- livered a strong attack in the Sen ate on the Supreme Court following that body's decision in the Coronado Coal case holding the unions liable in damage for the acts of their mem bers, devoted most of his speech to a similar criticism of the tendency of of the courts to enact what he called
