weekly bulletin, out yesterday. the fol-
lowing editorial denunciation:
"At thu time when the people of this
country arc finding 1t difficult to make
both ends meet, when industry is cur
tailed and distress exists throughout the
great agricultural districts, the collec-
ton and payment of a gratuity to for
mer service men in the form of n cash
bonus would be rightly characterized as
iniquitous.
such n payment could not possibly
do its recipients any permanent good.
The amount received by each one OF
them. when invested, would not be large
enough to furnish foundation for busi-
ness activity, and probably not one man
in 500 would derive any lasting benefit
from the payment. On the other hand,
It would undoubtedly dull the ambition
and enterprise of hundreds OF thousands
OF young men at time In their lives
when they should be putting forth every
effort TO obtain foothold In the world.
"The payment would withdraw from

money in addition to the huge taxes
which are made necessary by the obli-
cations incurred during the war. Such
n withdrawal would seriously cripple
business and industrial activity through
out the country, making IL more difficult
for ambitious young men, including the
ex-servlce men themselves, to find en-
ployment.

and Moral Failure.
) TERMED A MENACE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Repeal Of the
volstead prohibition enforcement act
and substitution of a measure permitting
sale of light wines and beer was urged
to-day by the executive council OF the
American Federation of Labor in a
statement which called upon all citizens
to join with labor organizations in a
campaign with these objects In view.
The statement denounced the Volstead
act as "a social and moral failure and
"a dangerous breeder of discomfort and
contempt for all law"
The council, which closed a week $
session Saturday night, previously an
nounced it's intention to participate in
the Congressional elections through q
non-partisan campaign committee which
will indorse and oppose candidate of
major political parties, or enter inde-
pendents II that course is considered
most effective.
Before this decision was reached"
the councils announcement said, there
was caused to be made an exhaustive
Investigation of the volstead act. 1t
was shown by this investigation that
there had been:
"A general disregard Of the law
among all classes. including those who
made the law.
Creation Of thousands of moonshin-
ers among both country and city dwell
ers.
Creation of an army OF bootleggers.

"An increased rate of insanity, blind
ness and crime among the users Of these
concoctions and drugs.
Increase in unemployment.
Increases in taxes to city. State and
national governments amounting to ap-
proximately one thousand million dol
lars per year.
The federation did not protest against
the Constitutional amendment embody-
ing the prohibition policy, the statement
emphasized, but considered the volstead
act "an improper Interpretation of the
amendment" and stood instead for
reasonable Interpretation in order that
the law may be enforceable and en-

Sig. Celestino Usuelli of Milan, builder
Of the airship Roma, considers the state
ment that an accident TO the steering
gear caused the disaster "a being highly
improbable. He said the drigible would
keep it's position in the air without the
motors running and without n steering
gear. The Roma was built In 1919 and
in 1920 few for seven months in Italy
before trials were made for the United
States The King and the Minister of
War were taken up as passengers
American experts, among them Capt
Dale Mabry, who was killed in the
Roma. took the dirigible on fights AMI
made extensive tests here before recon-
mendng the purchase of the alrship.
The total payment was 100000. Ihe

sibly have been the result of the de-
mounting and remounting for shipment.
Italy has built forty-hve dlrlgibles

smaller type. notably a small one re-
Gently constructed which Is one-twenty-
third the size Of the Roma. Italian and

New Animal Disease
Kills in S to II Hours

w TASHINGTON. Feb. 26.--Do-
w mestio animals are threat,
ened by a new and dread
disease which causes death in from
five to seventy-one hours. accord
ing to a bulletin issued tonight by
the Public Health Service. Efforts
are being made to produce an anti
toxin. The description of the dis
ease carried by the bulletin con-
veys little information to the lay
man.
1.-THE existence Eas been demon
strated," the bulletin says, "of an
an@robic organism producing a
soluble toxin which affects animals
in manner similar to that of the
botulism organism. but which fails
to be neutralized by polyvalent
botulinus antitoxin."
Suggestions that the organism IF
the disease is the same whicb
causes "limberneck" in chickens
has not yet been demonstrated, the

TRADE ORGANIZATIONS
PROTEST AGAINST RAID
Nationwide Opposition to
Bonus Is ShoUn.

From all over the country merchants
and manufacturers associations, boards
of trade and other Industrial organiza-
tions have telegraphed to Washington
their objections to soldiers bonus. The
action OF these organizations was made
public yesterday by the National In
dustrial Council. a federation OF ma
tional. State and local Industrial asso-
Citations organized under the leadership
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers, to foster constructive indus
trial legislation and to oppose the en-
actment of class laws.
The point upon which the various or
ganizations oppose the passage of the
bonus is that the economic reaction
would be such as to injure the whole
country. including the soldiers who de-
sire steady employment.
There will be no steady work at fair
pay IL new taxes are piled upon us to
pay a soldiers bonus" the Associated
Industries of Paterson, N. j., declares
in statement by its federated board
of governors. Taxes are holding back
business and they must be reduced, not
increased"
This association characterizes the
bonus as "a monstrous injury to the
whole country.
A number OF associations incorpo-
rated in their appeals to Congress not
to pass the bonus desire for adequate
care of disabled soldiers.
The organizations which placed them
selves as unalterably opposed to q
bonus are: The Associated Industries OF
Paterson. N. j.. Manufacturers Associa-
ton of Delaware County. Chester, Pa.
Manufacturers Association of Bridge
port. Conn: Lumber Trade Club Inc. OF
Boston, Associated Industries of Maine
Portland. Me-: Colorado Manufacturers
and Merchants Association. Utah Asso-
ciated Industries, California Manufac-
turers Association, Founders and En-
ployers Association, Los Angeles. Cal.

tion of Connecticut, Printers Board oi
Trade, San Francisco: Pennsylvania and
Atlantic Seaboard Hardware Associa.
tion Inc, Pittsburgh; Manufacturer
Association of New Jersey and the AS.
ISOLATED Industries of Missouri. The
Manufacturers and Merchants Associa-
ton of st. Louis also opposed the pas.
sage of bonus bill at this time.

Adjusted Compensation
Would Encourage Idleness
and Injure Nation.
ATTACK ON MORAL FIBER
Public Must Consider Effect
on Veterans Themselves,
Financier Declares.

In a special appeal to the bankers of
the country to stand firm against the
bonus raid on the United States Treas
ury, Thomas B. McAdams, president of
the American Bankers Association, de-
nounced the proposal as an intolerable
burden at a time when taxpayers and
business are already overloaded.
"We face many serious problems of
readjustment,"' Mr.. McAdams said yes
terday. Business generally is going
through a period of reorganization.
Agriculture is just beginning to re-
cover from the cemoralized condition
of the last eighteen months. In what
ever form it may be raised. the pay
ment Of large sum Of money would
add materially to the burdens of the
American people, already overtaxed. to
pay for the war and carry on the
necessary operations of the Govern
ment.
"The proposed distribution of $62.50
each quarter for two years to men in
every walk of life would encourage idle
ness among a large number and give
little real relief to those whom 1t is de-
signed to help. Idleness means COM
mercial and agricultural disorganization
and further loss of both energy and
money at a time when hard work is
badly needed to put the nation upon a
sound economic basis.
"Idleness destroys moral fiber. and in
solving this problem we must give con-
sideration to the possible effect upon
the men themselves-many of whom
will not be strong enough to Withstand
stop work altogether.
Congress is apparently impressed
with the necessity of passing this legis-
lation on the theory that the great body
of American people are ardent advo-
Gates of the cash bonus There are
some outside the Legion who advocate
the measure. but it Is difficult to find
advocates who express willingness to
pay personally their fun part of the
amount needed.
"A very large number of the soldiers
themselves are earnestly opposed to this
legislation, feeling that they do not wish
to mar their record by receiving pay
ment for a real service to country which
they now look back upon with just
pride.
''The burden Of providing war risk in
surance was willingly assumed by the
American people under the belief that
1t would take the place of pension de-
mands and other forms OF compensa-
ton for able bodied veterans. How far
the proposed legislation violates the
spirit of this understanding Is Tor the
American people to determine.
"All business will be vitality affected
by the way in which this problem is
solved"

1t was not un.l long after the Con-

Legion and the voluntary promoters
OF the present bonus raid showed their
hands and demanded the literal per-
Torrance OF pledges made under con-

Courageous stand Taken.
Several Senators and members who

20 oppose any legislation except that
for the disabled victims of the war, in

Aecting an independence which is most
disconcerting to the workers for the

self as opposed to the Government plac-
