through the House by an overwhelming
majority. There is uncertainty whether
an attempt will be made TO override a
veto. Republican leaders will not cross
the bridge until they come to 1t, and will
not even discuss the possibility Of hay-
ing to decide on such an issue.
Chairman Fordney dropped the bin into
the legislative hopper a short time ago,
after the House convened for business at
noon. He made no comment on it.
The bill probably will lay over until
next Monday, when it will be called up
under either a special rule or a suspen-
sion of the rules, depending upon agree
ment in the meantime.

Cabinet, who Is In close touch with the
situation, declared today.
NEW YORK, March 16.-Demands
Of anthracite miners for a wage in
crease Of 20 per cent viii be an
swered by the operators tomorrow
afternoon with demands for new
wage agreement cutting existing
rates about Is per cent
This program was decided upon at
the Atlantic City conference Of the
coal company heads, and since the
opening Of negotiations here there
has not been any change in policy.
Accompanying their demands for wage
cuts will be a promise any decrease in
wages will be followed by a correspond

In addition, there will be the charge
the anthracite market is inactive and
the argument viii be made 1t can only

quarters John L. Lewis, international
president OF the United Mine Workers,
and Vice President Murray would con-
fer with Secretary Of Labor Davis, who
is desirous Of extending his friendly
services In the cause OF adjusting the
differences Of miners and operators.
It Is possible conferences with Mr..
Davis may pave the way for a quick
termination of the problems before the
various interests. A compromise is not
improbable.
There is sufficient time to adjust diff
ferences and prevent a suspension April
l. but there are indications delay will
mark the negotiations until the bituml-
nous situation gives conclusive evidence
Of peace or strike

Republican handlers Of the bonus"

smoke out'' President Harding as to his
attitude on the pending bill just as soon
as the Chief Executive returns from his

UNCERTAINTY OF
ATTITUDE TIRES.
I'VE are tired of all this uncertainty
about the Presidents attitude" they ex-
planned. There have been hints and in
timatfons of a presidential veto and If
there is to be one, we wish to know it,
Fordney and others profess to believe
the President has not been correctly
placed before the country as to his DO
sition on the pending bill They assert
his objections were directed against an
other bonus" bill and matters he criti-
cised in that bill have been eliminated.
They wish to explain the pending bill
to him.
AWAIT RESULTS

There is TO be no haste on the "tonus"
bill until after the conference with the
President. Those members of the COM

have until Saturday to file with
the House statements Of objections
to the legislation. The bill cannot
be taken up for passage In the House
until next week. The proposed confer

, action on the bill, Fordney said
Republican leaders have made no plans
with bonus" legislation should Presi-

I'm glad they're going to kill me at

fat chance I've got of going to heaven.
Why didn't God give me a chance to
make good here? They never gave me a
chance here and I'm going to he'll.
Well, let them send me to hell. I'll go

JUST WAITING

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The
movement to eject Speaker GilIet from
his powerful place in the House,
should he block a gag rule for the
bonus" was calming down somewhat
today. Those who met in secret for
such an attempt were not so certain
this unprecedented action could be
put across" But the speaker will
face the political battle of his career
If he refuses to allow the gag rule
to be presented.
Plans for conference with him as
he returns from vacationing with
President Harding were maintained,
however. This conference Is destined
to be the scene of some plain talk.
Gillet, 1t is assumed, will bring back
some Of President Hardings bonus"
views-views against the present pro-
posal, which the pro -bonusers' are
not too keen to hear.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Vote on
the four-power treaty will be taken in the
Senate at IL o'clock on Friday noon,
March "a. Unanimous consent to that
end was obtained late yesterday. 1t
was granted at the end of another des-
perate but futile attempt by the opposi-
ton to "devitalze" the original pact by
amendment.
On all hands--alike by friends and foes
of the tIeaty--it Is considered the fight
is as good as over. The four power pact
to insure peace in the Pacific is safe. 1t
will not go over the top with a bounding
margin Of strength to spare. But 1t will
go over.
Unofficial representations fix the
eventful protreaty vote at a minimum
of sixty five. with only twenty eight
against--an excess of three votes over
the requisite two-thirds Of sixty-two.
More optimistic pact supporters think the
band wagon" vote will turn out to be
even larger. They believe, both from
Democratic and irreconcilable ranks,
there will be unexpected recruits when
it is realized the "spite bloc" has failed
lamentably to smash the treaty. With
the insular pact In snug harbor, the
other achievements of the Washington
conference.-the naval limitations and
nine-power Chinese treaties-wilI have
