Conferees Amend
Bonus Bill But
Veto Is Expected
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS
Washington Bureau, The .Age-Herald,


Washington, September 12.-(Spe-
conferees on the
bonus bill in striking the McNary
amendment under which the govern
ment would redeem arid western
lands and give them to soldiers, and
the Simmons amendment applying to
the bonus obligation interest to be
collected on the European debt, did
exactly as everyone knew they would
do, democratic senator's this after
noon proceeded against them with all
the bitterness that politics can en-
gender.
The McNary amendment would have
added to the expenses of the bonus
more than two hundred million dol
lars the first year. As separate
proposition the President favors il.
But as an extra expense attached to
the bonus. it was known that it
would give the President an addi-
tional excuse to affix his veto. 1t was
stricken because of that knowledge.
At the same time Senator Smoot. be-
cause of the action of his colleagues
ON the conference, refused to sign
the report, as did Representative
Garner of Texas, ranking democrat
of the House eonferees.
The Simmons amendment which
did offer means of eventually pay
ing the bonus was offensive to the
administration. and to every member
of the Preparations commission ap-
pointed by the president to adjust the
German debt growing out of the war.
The money to be collected as inter-
est has already been applied mentally
by the secretary of the treasury in
paying interest on the retiring liberty
bonds. 1t would have tied the hands
of the government in its financial
transactions and the government re-
fused to be tied

That the great slump in the to-
tai republican vote shows there is
large element of Maine republl-

and stayed at home rather than vote

Hull Pleased With
Returns From Maine

Their protest will be registered at

That while the republican vote
enormously decreased the demo --atic
vote showed an increase OF more
than 20 per cent over 1920.
THAT the republican majorities
for congressman were cut down from
$1,000 and 10000 in 1920 to 1000
and 10000 or less in 1922"
IF republicans can get any en-

their optimism is greater than their

IF democrats can wiring such real

LABOR DENOUNCES
JUDGES EXTENSION
OF THE INJUNCTION
Gompers Declares Extension
Is Open Shop Drive To De-
stroy Trade Unions;
"Sorry Spectacle

A lantic City, N. j., September 12.-
The executive council of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor today de-
nounced Federal Judge Wilkerson'
extension of the shopcrafts' restrain
ing order, expressed a determination
to rid organized labor of radical eie-
ments and approved a plan for carry
ing the trade union movement into
the public councils of the country.
The executive council on the third
day of it's annual convention thus dis
posed of three subjects which were
looked on by labor chiefs as of vital
Importance to the welfare Of all
American labor during the coming
year.
Turning first to the restraining
order obtained against the striking
railroad men by Attorney General
Daugherty and the extension for 10
days by Judge Wilkerson at Chicago.
the council authorized statement
dictated by Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent in which 1t characterized Judge
Wilkerson's act as "a convenient
method OF getting the government
and the federal jurist out of an I'M
warranted position"
This decision OF Judge Wilkerson
causes no surprise and the extension
of it for 10 days is looked upon as
embracing a doubt in the mind OF
the judge as to the legality OF MS
own decree as originally framed, ana
his hope that a settlement may De
effected between the railway shop
mems union and many of the rail-
roads by the time the 10 days viii
have elapsed and in that way afford
both the government and Judge
Wilkerson a convenient method OF
getting out OF an unwarranted po-
sition." said the statement
Labor views this decision as OF a
most peculiar character and II can
not view the procedure in any other
light than as a method of endeavor-
ing to intimidate the railroad strik-
ers into settlement detrimental to
the rights and interests of the rail-
road workers"
Gonrper's Com ments
Commenting personally on the 10
day extension granted, Mr.. Gompers
declared:
THE proceeding at Chicago is a
sorry spectacle, avowedly a part OF
the open shop drive to destroy trade
unions in order that big business and
the financial interests may deal with
the workers Individually.
IT would certainly better become
the administration Of great repub-
legal talent to prosecute the war
grafters as exposed by Represen-
tative Woodruff and johnson in our
national Congress rather than perse-
cute working men for insisting upon
a wage sufficient to raise an Ameri-
can family In health and decency."
The federation council announced
that within a few days it expected to
disclose its plans for financial and
moral aid for the striking railmen TO
help them win their fight for justice
and fair dealing"
