HOUSE STARTS
FIGHT TODAY ON
SHIP SUBSIDY
r e solution Giving
Measure Right of Way
Adopted 200 to 40
Democrats Prepare to Show
Solid Front Against Passage
johnson, South Dakota In
jects Soldier Bonus into De-
bate-Opposite Views by
Mandell and Ganett

Washington, Nov. 22-The road
was swiftly cleared today. for an
early end of the House fight over the
administration shipping bill which
will begin tomorrow.
A special resolution giving the bill
right Of way was put through the
House by a vote of 200 to ITO. 1t fol-
lowed party lines. although three
Democrats supported and sixteen Re-
publicans opposed. Generally speak
ing, leaders said, it did not indicate
the line up when the House votes
on final passage, November 20.
Immediately after the action of the
House. Democrats agreed at party
caucus to stand up sOlidly against
the measure, enactment of which
was urged yesterday by President
Harding in an address to a joint SEES
sion of Congress. One Democrat at
:hc caucus, O'Connor. of Louisiana,
served notice that he would not be
bound by the decision, at the same
time announcing he was in favor Of
the bill
The soldier bonus issue was inject
cd into the debate by representative
Johnson, Republican, South Dakota,
who announced that he would vote
to permit the House to consider the
bill but would not vote for it's pas
sage. Mr.. johnson declared no party
could survive that refused to give
a bonus to soldiers and then gave a.
bonus to ships.
Sharply contrasting views were
presented by Representative Mondell,
Wyoming. the Republican leader, and
Representative Garrett, Tennessee,
the Democratic leader Mr. MondelI
asserted that the Republican admin
iItration had not been able in IS
months to cure the evils left by a.
Democratic administration. particu-
larly with reference to the shipping
problem. 1t was a question, he said,
Of a constructive, or a destructive
policy. Turning to members on the
Republican side, Mr.. Mondell said
they could not escape the RESPONSE
bility of meeting the issue in this
Congress.
Mr.. Garrett declared that in at
tempting to force the bill through,
the Republican administration with
the death rattle in its throat was
running true to form in favoring the
special interests" 1t was surprising,
he said, that the drive for the bill
should be made Immediately after
the administration had been re
pudiated and discredited" at the
polls.
Pleading for action, Chairman
Campbell of the rules committee
challenged opponents Of the bill to
bring forward something better.
Taking stock tonight after the first
skirmish, Republican leaders assert
ed the bill would pass the House
with at least % votes to spare, but
they declined to speculate on its
chances in the Senate. The view was
expressed by others that if defeated
it would go down at the hands of the
Republicans and that the question of
final enactment by the House de-
pended upon the fate Of a raft of
amendments to be offered

sum PAID FOR MAILS
ON n. {. RAILROADS

Boston, Nov. G2.-Complaint that
the government was not paying New
England railroads a fair return for
services rendered in carrying mails
and that railroads the country over
are suffering from insufficient re-
turns from the transportation of ex-
press billed through the American
Railway Express Company, was
made today by Z. G. auckland. vice
president of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railway at a
hearing before the New England
joint railroad committee. The COM
mlttee was appointed by governors
of the New England states to inquire
into the transportation problem in
this section and report to the feder-
al government.
Discussing the relation between
the valuation OF the roads and the
revenue received, Mr.. auckland de-
clared that the government has up
held the valuation at which New
England roads have been appraised
and asserted that if fair return
in revenue is given on that valua-
ton, credit would be restored over
night The speaker pointed out that
Congress, dealing with the subject
of joint trades. had declared that
each road should obtain a fair 'di-
vision of the profits in accordance
with the value of the PROPERTY de-
voted to the service. 1t had been
the contention of the roads here
that they were not receiving their
proportionate share of joint rates.
President Edward j. Pearson of
the New Haven, discussing the pos
sibilities of increased revenue, said
that rates which the traffic would
not bear were mo good to the rail-
roads or to the public, but that the
roads should obtain rates that the
traffic will bear.
after that he said, 'thc ques-
, ton of consolidation and the future
may be reconsidered"
Percy Todd, president of the Ban
gor & Aroostook Railroad, opposed
consolidation of the New England
lines with trunk lines and said that
if any change were to be made he
preferred the all-New England sys-
tenn. He declared that even in the
latter event that it was quite possible
that it would be necessary for the
carriers to increase their rates.

Parachute Jump
Makes New Record

Dayton, Ohio, June 12.-Capt. A. W.
Stevens, aerial photographer, McCook
field, established a new parachute
jumping record today when he des-
cended 24,2O6 feet to safety, officials
of the field announced tonight. Anoth.
er record was broken at the same time
when Lieut.. Leigh Wade, piloted q
twin motored Martin bomber carrying
three passengers to an altitude OF
24,206 feet, it was announced.
Captain Stevens ascended in tho
same plane with Lieutenant Wade.
The pilot, accompanied by Stevens
and Sergeant Langham, observer
took off at II a. m. and reached the
maximum altitude at 1:O5 p. m., re.
quiring two hours and five minutes to
make the climb.
Stevens, who has made aerial photo.
graphs here for several years, today
made his first flight where oxygen
was necessary. Reaching the maxi,
mum height, the party partook of re.
freshments and Stevens made ready
for his leap.
When he left the plane he did not
permit his chute to be opened by the
wind and then lift him off, but leaped
over the side and dropped several
thousand feet before it opened and
checked his drop.
The oxygen tank which he had sewn
to his flying suit was torn off in the
leap and lost.
Thirty minutes were required fol
the descent. He left the plane while
over Springfield, and landed at James
town, small village 25 miles south
east of here.
Flying conditions were idea TODAY
The temperature on the ground was
rs degrees and zero was reached at
the maximum altitude. So strong was
the wind at % :206 feet that the motor
which was travelling at about 1OC
miles an hour only served to keep the
ship upright and the wind forced il
backwards at a speed of about &c
miles an hour, Wade said upon his
descent
