SOLDIER BONUS
COMES BEFORE
SENATE TODAY
Indications are That 1t VIII
Be Passed and Sent
to Conference
M'CUMBER DEFENDS
Borah, of Opposition. Confident That
If President VetOes Bill lie Will
Be Sustained.
nv United Press.l

Washington, Aug. 23-The sold
ier bonus bill, after reposing in a
senate pigeon hole for nearly year,
was out on the senate floor today
with every indication that 1t would
be passed and sent to conference
with the House within week.
Whether President Harding will
veto or sign the measure remained
uncertain when debate was scheduled
to open with a strong defense OF
bonus for the soldiers by Senator
McCumber, chairman of the finance
committee, and a vitrolic attack on 1t
by Senator Borah.
Borah, anchor man" of the oppO-
sition. is confident that if the Pres
ident vetoes the measure, he will be
sustained. The senator claims that
at least 81 senators or five more
than necessary to prevent overrld-
ing a veto will vote against the
measure.
Quite as lusty in their declara-
tions, supporting senators and Leg
ion officials, who have maintained a
most extensive lobby here, made 1t
be known tnat, in ther opinion,
veto of Mr.. Harding would have lit
tie effect on the bill, for promises
already made assured a two-thirds
majority necessary to override
possible veto
A last minute rush of amendments
was expected. Senator McNary has
reclamation amendment which, ne
said, has support of the western
farm group Senators Bursum and
Ladd have bonus plans which they
would like to substitute for the Nc
Cumber scheme All Of these, how
ever, have little chance to receive
serious consideration, in the belief
of senate chiefs.
Senator Smoot. who was aligned
with President Harding in advocat-
ing a sales tax to raise the funds to
pay the bonus when the bill first
came up in the senate, was preparing
to offer a specific sales tax amend
ment. In view of previous action Of
both Senate and House the provis-
ions was believed to have only slight
support.

TO STOPCOAL
PROFITEERING
Legislation Being Drawn
Up By Members of the
Presidents Cabinet
Bill Will Create Federal Agency to
Buy and Sell Coal to Hold
Down Prices
CBy TnItHG PressD

Washington, Aug. 23.-LeglSlation
giving the federal government abSo-
Lutte power to block the movement
in interstate commerce of coal sold at
exorbitant prices is being drawn up
by members of President Harding's
cabinet.
This new plan for checking wide
spread profteering in fuel soon will be
submitted to Congress with a tenta-
tive draft of bill creating a federal
agency to buy and sell huge quantities
of fuel and thus hold down prices.
Because of opposition in Congress
70 the purchasing agency, Attorney
General Daugherty, Secretaries Hoov-
err. Fall and Davis have prepared the
other plan. The Federal Fuel Dis
tribution Committee, working in CO.
operation with the Interstate Com
merce Commission, would be given
power under the new proposal to deny
cars to mines guilty of profteering
and to stop any shipments in inter-
state commerce for which an eXorbi-
tant price has been paid at the mine.
The House today was expected to
start consideration of bill carrying
out one of the Presidents recommen-
dationS for meeting the strike situa-
tion-the establishment of federal
commission which shall make sweep
ing investigation of the entire mining
industry.

President Watres after consulting T.

While no date has as yet been de-

lv probable that the cornerstones VIII
not be laid until early spring.
Charles H. Callahan, local secre-
tary. stted today that the local com

ments will continue t. function as
usual and make all necessary an
rangements and continue their meet

The work begun on the temple will
also be continued without Interrupt

possible. 1t is proposed to COM
plete the foundation with slab OF
concrete eight feet in thickness over
the entire building. The wall at the
foot of the property along King
street is TO be protected against
washing and the terraces around the
building ten feet high are to be
broken by a balustrade. The top
the terrace will be forty feet wide
and temporary approaches will be
provided for pedestrians from the
foot of the hill on the east up to the
temple. The winding drive from the
foot of the hill to the temple will be
graded and graveled for temporary
road. After it has thoroughly settled
it will be concreted.
A road from King to Duke street
will be opened. which will nearly
parallel the railroad property. Af-
ter settlement thi road also will be
concreted.
The grading to the north of the
terrace will be completed and the
driveway t. the w.Gt opened up. This
work will perhaps be finished by APP

Workmen are now grading and
making the formation for the ter
races preparatory to building the

tower to pour concrete which will
be 100 feet high or within fifty feet
of the heighth of the tower of the
temple.
Thousands of Masons from every

ing many high officials of the Ma
sonic craft ale expected here for

VETS WILL LOSE
SAYS WHEELER
Neither Light Wine. Nor
Beer Will Be Pre-
mitted
Anti-Saloon League Council Says Dry
Advocates In Congress Will
Increase
(Ry Tniteh Prcss.l

i Washington, Aug. 23-Neither
light wine nor beer will be on the
American menu-legally-as the re-
suit of this falls congressional cleo
tions, Wayne 81 Wheeler, general
counsel for the Anti-Saloon League
forecast today.
The league forces are taking a very
active part in the campaign and they
are wedding out the vets and even the
slightly moist, he asserted.
"Dry advocates in congress will be
stronger than ever as the result or
the election" Wheeler said. Gains
have been made in both branches of
congress in the 26. districts where
nominations have already been made.
No matter which side wins, the pro-
hibition forces will be the gamers.
"In these 264 districts 229 of the
incumbent congressman were renom-
mated. Of this number 100 are dry
and 81 wet. A majority OF the 80 new
nominees are dry" Wheeler stated.
Most important in the opinion OF
Wheeler is the gain of three dry votes
in the senate. In the death OF Senators
Penrose and Knox, of Pennsylvania,
and the elimination of Senator John
Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, the
vets lost three votes, Wheeler SAID
The drys count George Wharton Pep
per and Major David A. Reed, the two
republican senatorial nominees from
Pennsylvania as friends of prohibition
because they are committed to en-
forcement of the law. Williams sue
cessor will be dry.
What the vets want is nulliticationr
of the prohibition amendment
Wheeler stated. They want tlrSt to
amend it to permit the sale OF light
wine and beer. What they really plan
is to hamstring the law so as to make
it unenforceable."
Dry forces are preparing to hgh'
the vets of Massachusetts,, Calltornla,
Ohio and Illinois, Wheeler SAID. In
the first two states the vets have
forced a referendum designed 70
knock out the state dry enforcement
cdes while similar action is planned IN
Ohio and Illinois.

big four brotherhoods proposals
for ending the shipments walkout.
The eastern executives are report
ed strongly opposed to acceptance.
There was a CLEAN Of sunshine
in Western Pennsylvania, how
ever. where the deadlock between
bituminous miners and the Pitts
burgh Coal Operators Association
was broken. The association in
vited miners to return under the
wage agreement reached at the
Cleveland conference, minus the
check off.
A wage increase OF 33i2to %
percent was announced in Fay
ettte and Westmoreland counties
in an effort to get miners back
to work under open shop condl-

Congress had before it a bill
to prevent hauling of "Profiteer
