HOWAT DEFEATED
IN MINERS MEET
BY CLOSE COUNT
Action Of Lewis Administration
In Throwing Kansas District
Out Is Given o. X. by
representatives.

Indianapolis, Feb 1S.-John l..
Lewis, international president of the
Mine Workers triumphed definitely
over Alexander Howat, former pres
ident of the Kansas district of the
union, and his followers at the con-
vention of miners here today.
By final vote, which was COM
pleted in a tumultous session, the
convention refused to reinstate Kan
sas in the union and upheld the
order of the Lewis administration in
expelling them.
Surprising strength was shown by
Howat during the days roll call.
The final vote was 1869 to 1866, and
efforts we're being made Friday night
by his supporters to muster a
strength to overcome this despite
their leaders concession of defeat.
1--WE gave them a good fight" said
Howat, and then he added: Il sup
pose now | will have to get out of
the United States and go to Russia" I"
Mr.. Lewis said he was confident
that the unofficial vote was conser-
vative, and interpreted the result
"as best for the welfare of the
union.' Mr.. Harrington said the re-
suit means that Lewis is dead
bird now"

FIRST PLAN LAY
BONUS OVER FOR
TIME GIVEN OUT
Some Sentiment Develops ALONG
congressmen from Middle West
to Let Bill Rest Until
Early Summer.
OHIO GROUP AT HEAD
OF IDEA, INDICATION
Bill Continues to Be Center OF Con-
servative Members; Sales Tax
Program Favers One on
Production.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The first
faint flickering OF sea iment for u
postponement of the 1oldiers' bonus
legislation until early summer ap-
peared in congress today.
This new idea had its inception
among the congressman of the mid
die western states, particularly the
ohio group.
how far sentiment was swinging
TO the sales tax as a means of rais-
ng revenue for the bonus as advo.
ated by President Harding was the
iubject of unending discussions
lmeng members. 1t was evident on
II sides, however, that the repub-
leans were determined to put the
Dill through the house regardless Of
What might happen TO it in the sem
tie. In the event the bin is in
ihape for consideration by repub-
lean caucus witlin the time set by
Nh Fordney leaders said it would
be passed prior to March 4.
"There is no power in the house
TO bead off tho soldier bonus now"
sald a republican leader, and that
seemed to be the view Of most of
members insisting upon its early
passage.
Democrats opposing the measure
insisted on the other hand, that OBJ
lection to the sales tax was so
strong in some quarters that If the
plan of meeting soldier payments
was presented squarely it might be
defeated But, if the sales tax
method is resorted to, it was said,
President Harding would favor a
tax on production rather than on
general retail sales, because, it
was he believed, the simplest form
cf this tax and would avoid prob
lens Of exemptions, which would
probably arise If general retail
sales tax were decided on.
Representative Mondell Wyoming
republican leader, answered Mr.
Garner, and then Chairman Fordney
joined the debate
THE republican members of the
ways and means committee have
not thought it proper to call in men
unalterably opposed to the bonus for
discussion of that BILL" the chair
man declared.
I'VE had before us today an Off
Ger of the legion so we could ask
hint for expert information and he
gave it. The bonus bill will be pre-
sented to a caucus Of house republ-
cans in ten days and a republican
house will pass it. The republican
caucus will either agree with what
we have framed, or will direct us
low to fix it."

ary OF si2.500 year. His accept
ahce OF this appointment brought
down a storm Of protest from some
quarters. the assallants of Lands
claiming that Il was beneath the
dignity Of federal Judge to assocl-
te himself with the professional
baseball world, even as the high
commissioner.
Lands paid little or no attention
to these attacks, continuing 10 serve

rulings of Lands In the baseball
world, was to suspend Babe Ruth,

as to the salary question, he will at
that be the loser for the reason
that he is to get a bonus for every

that he would have gathered In sew

One of the latest important rul-
mgs of Lands as baseball commits

Bodie was classed as ineligible by
the Boston club when he refused to
report to that club following trade
from the New York Yankees.
