OPPOSE SUE" BILL.

Boston, Oct. 2o-Organized labor in this state is conducting vigorous campaign for the repeal of the volun- tary association act, passed by the last legislature, and which permits trade unions to be sued, and death and sick funds of the unions to be held. The bill was fathered by organized em- ployers.
 At the time of it's passage, it was alleged to apply to all voluntary asso- cations Since then attorneys for the bosses have stated that fraternal or ganizations are not affected.

VIENNA. March (Associated Press) -
New elections are being discussed In

political parties to agree upon the ad-

Gently granted international credits are

The Socialists oppose the Govern

the reorganization OF state enterprises

Would Retard Nations Recovery.

PERLEY MORSE: 1 do not approve
OF bonus, because business recovery is
being retarded at the present time by the
present excessive taxation. The Gov
ernment cannot create value or money,
hence It has to get 1t by taxing the pub
lie. and IL there is an increased taxation
OF any kind on present business to pay a
bonus, business recovery is just SO much
more retarded.

q ENATOR STERLING (S. ID,
-, speaking last night before
the mems conference OF the
Bedford Branch OF the Young
Mems Christian Association. in
Brooklyn, said he did not favor a
cash bonus, but he thought the
country could not be too generous
with its wounded soldiers. In an
swering the question, "Why IS Con-
gress not united on the bonus,
Senator Sterling said:
There is more division now than
heretofore, for many members OF
Congress expressed themselves on
the question early, and 1t is difit-
cult for them TO change. 1t is too
bad that the bill is pending at this

Bonus for the Unemployed.

SAMUEL UNTERMYER - Having regard
to our present heavy burdens and finan-
cial needs. my general view is that. un-
less the bonus can be financed by a
discriminatory luxury sales tax and paid
in the form of unemployment insurance
so as to reach only those who need it. it
should not now be paid. 1 feel, how
ever. that we ought to give evidence in
some substantial way of our gratitude
and sense of justice to the young men

tlons and who were willing to risk their

Patriotism on Mereenary Plane.

DIR. LYMAN ABBoTT-To a cash
bonus for all veterans without regard
to disability / am opposed on two
grounds. one economic. the other moral.
on the economic side the bonus at this
time would injure the veteran more
than II would help him, because It would
injure the whole country. on the moral
side the bonus puts the service which
the men rendered on a mercenary plane
rather than on the plane of patriotic
duty. The failure OF the people at home
70 understand the men who went over
seas and who came back has done much
TO justify the feeling on the part OF the
men that after all citizenship does not
constitute It's own reward The wav

JOHN FARsoN: Tho soldiers bonus

be stopped This country Is now suf-
fering from a terrible tax burden. We
demand not only no now taxes OF any
kind but a considerable further reduction
in our taxes. The politicians have been
running riot In the past and spending
our money for their own political gain.
They are now considering giving away
as a bonus an amount equal TO the COM

scheme by their constituents has had
much to do with the pronounced
change among Democratic Senators
and Representatives.
/ Another circumstance that portends
resistance to the bonus plan which
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee has worked out is the surprising
opposition to the bonus project devel-
oped in the Senate. This is partly due
10 the bombardment of members of
that body by indignant citizens, in
cluding ex-service men. who are urg-
ing the rejection OF the contemplated
raid.
THE New York HERALD recently
printed a list of twenty-four Senator's
representing both political parties who
recorded their opposition TO the bonus.
Since President Harding's suggestion
for sales tax has been turned down
and he has indicated his opposition to
other forms of taxation and further
bond issues, sentiment in favor OF
postponement if not abandonment OF
bonus legislation as recommended by
him has been developing very rapidly
VIII Follow the President.
Several Republican Senators, who
were regarded as friendly" to the
bonus project, have privately inti-
mated that they will follow the Pres
ident." If they do so there will un-
doubtedly be votes enough in the up
per house to put quietus on any
measure the lower house passes.
The statement made by Senator Bo-
rah (Rep., Idaho) that there IS no
way of taking $4,000, 100000 out of the
Treasury without putting $4,000. 100000
into the Treasury except by extort-
ing it from the taxpayers" made a de-
cided impression on Senators of both
parties.
The members of that body who
have investigated the subtle and
cryptic assurances of the bonus pro-
moters that President Harding viii
accept the insurance certificate plan
adopted by Mr.. Fordney's committee
describe such predictions as mere
guesses. Senator's who have talked
with the President assert that he win
veto tiff it ever reaches him. The
same Senators are equally sanguine
that no bonus bill will ever get beyond
the House of Representatives.

Analysis of Table.

In analyzing this table to emphasize
his points against the bonus certificate
plan Senator Glass said:
"Of course every dollar loaned on
the proposed insurance script will be a
dollar Withdrawn from commercial and
industrial activities for n long period.
Just to the extent that a bank holds
script, exactly to the extent its ability
to loan money to Industrial, commercial
and agricultural productiveness is cur
tailed. That is elementary; it cannot
be questioned.
Thus IL the banks should be foolish
enough to loan the funds of their de-
positors on rigid collateral, they would
desperately cripple the business interests
of the country. II they should refuse
to loan on this script for the obvious
reason that it would be poor business.

brick instead of a benefcence."
