currency Crissinger that if the revised
soldiers bonus bill was passed he would
advise national banks not to accept ad-
justed compensation certificates as ce-
curity for loans to former service men,
created a stir among members Of Con-
gress, leaders regarded it as likely that
his stand would swerve a majority OF
the ways and means committee members
from their determination to report ths
measure to tho House.
With opponents Of the legislation con-
ceding that the bill would have enough
friends in the committee to report It to
the House with recommendation that it
be passed, speculation centered on the
attitude OF the currency comptroller, and
it's. probable effect There was consider
able talk among members in the Hobbies,
most of the representatives taking the
position that it would be best to proceed
with the bill as drafted by republicans
on the ways and means committee, but
members Of the committee were reluctant
to express their views.

Twice during the day the bonus uues-
tion broke into the debate on the floor
of the House. Representative Knight,
republican, Ohio, denounced the bin as
'indefensible from either the economic
or patriotic standpoint" Representative
Luce, republican, Massachusetts. pro-
tested against the plan to take the meas
ure UP under suspension of rules which
would limit debate TO forty minutes under
ordinary procedure and would shut or

bate on questions of little importance,

Congress has had to deal with" He con-
tended it would be not only to the best
interests of the republican party but Of

members TO discuss the bonus question

Another development in the situation
was the announcement by Representa-

FREE STATE BILL
ON FIRST READING
Belief Prevails That 1t will Pass
the House of Lords With
out Serious Difficulty.
az The AssooIated Prssal

LONDON, March 9-The Irish Free
State bill formally passed its first read
ing in the House of Lords today. The
debate showed a dissension by Lord Car
zon, the Marquis of Salisbury and the
Marquis of Lansdowne to endeavor to
amend the treaty between Great Britain
and Ireland.
The Marquis of Lansdowne. who broke
his long parliamentary silence to par
ticipate in the debate, complained that
the treaty had been thrown at the heads
of the lords to take or to leave, but with
a plain indication Of what might happen
in the latter event.
Despite the rather threatening tone
OF these ''Die-Hards" speakers, the be-
lief prevails that the bill will pass the
House of Lords without serious difficulty.

Interests of People Will Be Seri-
ously Affected by Suspension
of Coal Mining.
GOVERNMENT HAS NO
DESIRE TO INTERFERE
Some Operators Willing to Make
Local or District Contracts
With the Union.
tey The Associated pres.)

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Secre-
tary of Labor Davis today broke the
silence he has maintained during the
ton days in which the government has
actively sought Intervention in the
impending coal strike, to urge mine
operators and the miners union ain
the name of common sense to get to-
gether and save the country from the
costly results OF a strike" The gov
ernment has mo desire to interfere
unduly," he announced, but "has a
duty to safeguard the interests OF the
people who will be seriously affected
by the suspension OF coal mining"
Although no immediate responses
were received at the secretary's office
after the statement was issued, press
dispatches immediately reflected the
interest taken in it by representatives
Of unions and operators in the coun-
try's widespread coal fields. Official
reports 10 the department, however,
were concerned largely with details
concerning the dissension in the min
ers' organization, where Frank Far
iington, the Illinois leader, and some
other district heads are said to be be-
ginning local negotiations in defiance
Of the policy of President John L. Lew
is and the national executive board of
the United Mine Workers. Reports
( also were received on the attitude of
individual mine operators who have
in the past entered into national wage
agreements.
The departments agents have been
assured that miners locals in nearly
all sections throughout union fields
are Overwhelmingly voting to strike
April IT, but this information has been
discounted to degree, officials said
because a strike vote is quite often
taken so that committees assigned to
negotiate the issues can act with full
est authority.
There was no disposition in official
circles today to reveal that Mr.. Davis
statement, which explained again the
governments position, was one result
or the repeated refusal of Pennsyl-
vania and other mine operators in the
central competitive field to enter ne
gotiations looking to another national
wage agreement. The union, 1t was
pointed out here, has fought this
course from the beginning, and the OPP
orators have been unyielding in oppo-
sion, though willing in some cases to
make local or district contracts with
the union.

business will not show much improve
ment until conditions get better in Eu-
rope. They win improve there with
the exchange of ideas on reformed
budgets and kindred subjects.
"a considerable part of the Euro
pean burden is the debt to America.
There is sincere doubt expressed as to
whether some countries can pay. Ger
tainly an Indifferent attitude on the
part OF our government will carry
much discouragement. The cable ad-
vices from Europe tell us of the de-
pressing effect that has come from our
reiterated policy of a hermit nation.
In private affairs such conduct on the
part of a great creditor would lead to
certain resentment, and in the present
instance that same feeling will exist,
whether it is articulated or not.

sider international economic and fl
nancial matters. Secretary Hughes,
whether Intentionally or not, has new
-ertheless challenged the good faith of
European nations by the cold an
nouncement that the conference will
be of a political character. Taking
him at his word, the country will be
interested in the philosophy which
makes virtue out of political asso-
citation with the yellow people of the
Orient, and vice out of any political
relationship with the white people Of
Europe. But that is quite another
matter.
"Our people are chiefly concerned
now about their return to employment.
They have endured a suffic!ency Of
unhappiness from the terror Of isola-
ton. They recognize the fundamental
need of an outlet for our markets, If
our shops are to resume and our farms
are to prosper. They also know that
Europe cannot buy without credit, and
no worth while credit ts possible with

possess the potential possibilities for
a better economic day, because We
have the prepondering excess Of gold
