Chicago. Feb. 23.-Miners and rail-

Yesterday adopted resolutions calling
for closer cooperation between the
two groups of labor and declaring
that the mutually Of their interests
must be recognized.
An executive committee. composed
of the chief executives Of the Scvera!
organizations, was named to conduct

This is not regarded by either the
miners leaders or the chiefs of the
railroad labor organizations as laying
the foundation for a sympathetic

That means varying degrees of indi.

President John i. Lewis, OF the
United Mine Workers, VINO presided
at the conference, is reported to have
told the railroad men that he was
seeking aid, but not sympathetic
strike. And extreme care to avoid
committing the railroad men to any
definite course of action appears
throughout the resolutions.
Specifically with reference to aid

ally as to the whole plan. 1t is stated
that the approval of each organiza-

But while nothing was done that
would lead to calling out the railroad

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

Washington, Feb. 23.-Republican
members of the House attached to
the Ways and Means Committee, are
as far apart on any plan which
means appropriating for money to
provide the bonus as they were when
the particular agitation started.
a subcommittee of the Ways and
Means Committee has striven day and
night with the hope that it could
formulate a plan to bring about the
sufficient amount of money to take
care of the demands from those who
are insisting that bonus bill must
pass the present session Of congress.
Despite the pressure brought to bear
by the commander of the American
legion by name MacNider. who in
sists that bonus legislation shall be
enacted at the earliest possible mo-
ment-The White House is inclined
to believe that the American Legion,
and not it's sponsor is held RESPONSE
Bile for any declaration of policy
which the former soldiers in the
world may determine.
Hanaford MacNider, commander of
the American Legion took it upon
himself to address rather insulting
and suggestive message to the Presl-
dent bearing upon the bonus legisla-
ton now pending in Congress. At
the White House today it was said
while President Harding would not
care to enter into discussion of the
merits Of the bonus plan he may feel
called upon to reply to the rather
suggestive and threatening attitude
Of the American Legion as voiced in
the message sent to the White House
by MacNider. Veterans of the world
war who served in France and who
have received recognition for such
service are inclined to condemn the
rather imperialistic attitude assumed
by the commander of the American
Legion in his message to the Prcsl-
dent of the United States. At the
White House the consensus of opin-
ion is, there should be no controversy
with a particular member of prop
aganda whether it means bonus for
soldiers or whether it means the con-
trary.
President Harding has not framed
any opinions to commander Mac Nj
der. His close advisers have told
him that he had best left any reply
to a simple acknowledgment OF the
message sent by the Commander Of
the American Legion. 1t is known
that the White House feels rather
sore on receipt of the message from
