Bills WON'T BE MERGED,
SAYS CHAIRMAN M'CUMBER

Washington, Jan. 13.-The sol
dier bonus bill will not be made Il
part of the allied debt refunding
bill. Chairman McCumber. of the
senate committee said tonight after
series of conferences between
senate leaders to discuss the desir,
ability Of merging the two and af-
ter it had become known that
President Harding did not favor
the suggestion that they be COM
bined.
The foreign debt bill. Senator
McCumber said, would be taken up
by the finance committee Monday
in the hope OF putting 1t in shape
in time for reporting to the sem
ate. 1t was the intention, he ad-
ded. to eliminate some of the fea-
lures to which the treasury de-
partment has objected and which
has resulted in holding the meas
ure in committee for several weeks.
| These include provisions for semi
fannual payments of interest and
an interest rate of not less than
five percent.

PRICES DO NOT
DROP IN BERLIN
TOURISTS LEARN
To Every Bill Which Hotel
and Restaurant Patrons
Pay There is Added a
Diversity of Taxes.
(By The Associated ress.)

Berlin, Jan. 13.-Foreigners So
journing In Berlin have learned
that 'prices go up. but never
down." regardless of the rise or
fall Of the German mark. Visitors
here, compelled to live in the first
class hotels. may secure rooms at
prices which they consider reason
able compared with home prices,
but the illusion of "cheapness"
soon vanishes.
At least once month prices
are increased. and the usual in
crease is 100 per cent. The notice
of increase is sent the day before
the new rates are effective. There
is norecourse but to pay. The only
furnished rooms or apartments to
be had are in suburbs, and are i'm
practicable because of the frequent
strikes on the transportation lines.
Disadvantages of living in Sec
ond,class hotels. in addition to the
absence of modern conveniences,
are multiplied by the restlessness
Of the workers. Hardly a week
passes without a strike of electric
workers, porters. cooks, maids--in
which case. the hotels as we'll as
the office buildings In which the
foreigners must work, are dark and
without service.
With the last three months there
have been strikes on the under
ground and surface railways, in the
electric power plants. of all the
employees in restaurants, the chauf-
feurs. as we'll as workmen in such
trades as tailoring. printing and
other lines. The last strike was
called by the janitors of apartment
and office buildings which were
left without heat during tho coldest
days of the winter.
I And to every bill which the pat
rons Of the hotels and restaurants
must pay there Is added diversi-
ty Of taxes or surcharges for the
state, the city, or the help. Also.
tips are still expected aud received,
although hotel and restaurant en-
pioyes recently consented to abol-
ish the tip when granted ten per
cent commission on all bills, an In
crease in wages. and a percentage
OF the weekly incomes Of their em-
ployers.

UNIFORM WATER RATES
ARE DISCUSSED AT A
NEW YORK CONFERENCE

New York, Jan. ia confer
ence seeking uniform freight rates
under all flags operating in the
trans-Pacific steamship service
was held here today at the office
of the United States shipping
board. Representative from every
line in the Pacific, including Jap
anese, British, American and Cana
dian steamship officials, attended
and voted for appointment of a
committee to draft a uniform
scale. The committees report will
be acted on at later meeting.
William j. Love, vice president
and traffic department chief o.
the emergency fleet corporation,
who presided, said the intended
uniformity would benefit shippers
as we'll as shipping interests.
He described existing rates In the
Pacific as topsy-turyy because OF
wide discrepancies. With uniform
charges he declared, manufactur-
ers and exporters would be better
able to stabilize their business. At
the present time. he added, the
matter of making a price" on
products involved uncertainty as
to how the freight rates available
to the exporter compared with
those given his competitor.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Final dis
cussion of the basis of assessing the
import duties which are to be writ
ten into the new tariff bill was
started today by republican mem
bers of the senate finance commit

on this, the most important and
difficult phase of the whole tariff
problem, before the end of next
week and then the actual work OF
constructing the rates will be un-
dertaken. The hope now is that the
bill can be reported to the senate
around March first.
Besides discussing the Amerl-
can valuation plan and various
substitutes with members of the
tariff commission and the court
of customs appeals, the commit
teemen received from the senate
repubiican-farm tariff bloc, rec
concentrations as to rates on farm
products. These included a sug-
gested duty of five cents a pound
on short staple cotton, which a.
ways has been on the free list, n
rate of 33 cents a pound on wool,
on the basis Of the secured con-
tent as against the 25 cents pro-
posed in the Fordney bill Rates
at increases over those in the Ford
ney bill on wheat, oats and many
other products also were urged.
In entering upon their discussion
of the basis of assessing duties, the
committee members had in con-
ference with Thomas O. Marvin
and William Burgess, of the tariff
commission and Judge Marion de
Vries, member of the court of
customs appeals. They endorsed
the plan outlined in an amendment
proposed yesterday by Senator
Smoot of Utah, of assessing duties
on the basis of the selling price OF
the imported article in the Ameri-
can market rather than on the val
ue of the comparable article pro-
duced in the United States. the
Fordney bill proposal.

MERGING BONUS
AND DEBT BILL.
IS INF TACTICAL
Harding Opposed to Com

Soldiers With That Per-
tanning to Allied Loans.

Washington, Jan. 13.-President
Harding does not look with favor
on the suggestion before senate re-
publican leaders that the soldiers
bonus and the allied debt refund
ing bill should be combined when
taken. UP at this session of con-
gress. Although the merger plan
was originally received favorably
by a number of senate leaders, the
president was said to regard it as
impractical and his view was re-
Elected in further conferences to-
day between senate leaders.
The presidents objections to the
marger were said by callers at the
White House today to be based on
his desire for the assurance that
provision definitely would be made
for payment of the bonus. SO far
as the refunding bill is concerned,
he was said to believe that the re-
funding process should be develop
ed to insure returns from the al
lied loans before steps were takgn
to pledge them for a bonus.
He was represented. however. as
not hostile to the suggestion that
the interest or principal of the al
lied loans be used for paying the
bonus once they were available,
and ii was stated definitely that he
also would not oppose a sales tax
for the purpose of paying the
bonus, if congress should decide
upon that plan.
The president, however, was said
to regard as impractical a sugges-
tion that $400,000.000 in the hands
of the alien property custodian be
used for bonus payments. These
funds, 1t was said, were regarded
as pledged technically to private
individuals whose property was
taken.

Washington, Jan. 19--Economics
of railroad management and in
creasing efficiency of railroad
labor have failed to hold railroad
earnings above their danger mark,
according to railroad presidents
testifying today at the Interstate
Commerce Commissions inyestiga-
ton into transportation rate levels.
H. T.. Byram, president of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st, Paul, ap-
pearing for western carriers, and
W. T.. Mapother. president of the
Louisville & Nashville, for the
southern district. both declared
that the existence of present rate
levels and maintenance of the
principle that carriers were entitled
to per cent return on the value
of their property were absolutely
necessary to the existence Of a sat
isfactory transportation system.
Boards "Inflexlble Rulcs.''
Both advanced the need of fur
ther wage reductions as the only
possible source of additional earn
ings necessary to meet fixed
charges. and held up federal con-
troll of wages and working condi-
tions, now in effect through the
railroad labor board as responsible
for unnecessary and unjustifiable
expenditure at the present time.
The board, "by inflexble rules
made it impossible to adjust WACO
scales to meeting changed eco-
nomlc conditions" Mr. Bvram said.
Managerial skill is stifled or
impaired by the sway of govern
ment agencies. both In the regula-
ton OF wages and regulation OF
operations" Mr.. Mapother said
1T is relegated almost to impo-
tence and only left free to face the
task of providing funds TO meet
deficits"
Economics Arc Cited.
Mr.. Byram citeg the series of
economies to which he said his
road had resorted and for which
he claimed savings in the aggre-
gate amounting to missions, al
though in the race of falling traf-
fic, he asserted they had been in
sufficient to allow the earning OF
fixed charges by his road during
several months. This was a typi-
cal condition in the west, he in
sisted. while Mr.. Mapother fixed
the earning of southern roads at
the rate of 22 per cent on invested
capital during the ten months last
tabulated.
Samuel o. Dunn. editor of the
Railway Age, was called as an eX-
pert witness to testify that under
conditions of the last five years
the railroad mileage of the coun-
try had shown an annual decrease
and further. that purchases Of To-
comotives and cars had decreased
sharply. Mr.. Mapother had not
concluded when the commission
adjourned for the day.
