CONGRESS Is URGED
TO ADOPT PROPOSED
VETERANS BONUS
Mass Meeting Held Under Aus
pices of Various Veterans
Ass'ns Pass Resolutions.
tay The AssoeIated Press

NEW YORK, March 5.-Resolutions
urging enactment by congress of the
proposed fve-fold plan bonus for
world war veterans, were adopted to-
day at four mass meetings of former
service men, held under the auspices
of the various veterans associations.
Representative Lester D. Volk of
New York, Martin McCue, former
state senator, and Warren Fisher, ma
tional commander of United War Vet
err :, spoke in favor of the bonus to
an assemblage in Lexington theatre.
Bonus opponents tell u.s." said Rep
resentative Volk, that If we get the
bonus the country will be put into a
condition of financial ruin. Yet con-
gress helped the railroads with a
bonus when the roads faced financial
enbarra ssment.
"The United States is the only cred
itor nation in the world and yet the
only nation that has failed to give its
soldiers a bonus"
McCue declared that the assertion of
opponents of adjusted compensation
for veterans that a bonus would bur-
den the public with additional taxes
was bunk"
Don't permit congress to smother
the bonus bill under a smoke screen, -
he said. while you boys We're in
France there were a lot of moral cow
ards in congress who allowed them
selves to be frightened into putting
over an amendment and law which
threw thousands out of work and cost
the government millions of dollars in
taxation, more than enough to pay this
same bonus. I refer to the prohibition
amendment and the Volstead act"
Other bonus meetings were held in
Brooklyn ana the Borough of Queens.

IMPORTANT CASES UP
IN SUPREME COURT
fey Ths Associated press)

WASHINGTON, March 5.-A num-
Der of exceptionally important cases
are listed for argument in the supreme
court this week. Prominent among
these are three cases from North Car
olina, designed to determine the con-
stitutionality of the child labor act.
The government selected the case
against the Atherton mills as a test
case for the group of actions but has
abandoned that and has substituted
the Drexel Furniture company case.
The decisions in the lower federal
courts in these cases have all been ad-
verse to the contention of the govern
ment that imposition of an excise tax
upon the products Of a factory or mine
which employed child labor was a
valid exercise of the taxing powers
of the government.

FIRST YEAR OF HARDING REGIME
IS NOTABLE FOR ITS FAILURES
V,ESUVIUS is AGAIN
BELCHING OUT FIRE
(Ry The Associated press)

NAPLES. March 5.---Mount ve-
suvius again is in eruption. The
phenomena began with two mild
shocks of earthquakes, which were
followed by the collapse of the
eruptive cone, 200 feet high, which
stood inside the, crater.
The fall of the cone was accom-
panied by rumblings and explosions
and the throwing out of ashes and
incandescent stones. Lava poured
put from the crater in streams, and
in the "a hours since the disturb
ance began it covers an area of
100000 square feet.
The lava has formed round the
crater an incandescent band more
than 500 feet wide. The temperature
OF this molten mass is 1000 degrees
Fahrenheit. The width of the
crater is now 1900 feet. Professor
Malladra, director of the observa-
tory on Vesusvius, descended into
the crater at the beginning of the.
eruption. The heat scorched his
face.

BUSY SEASON

Second Year of Harding Admin

GRAPHING WITH ARMS
CONFERENCE TREATIES
November Elections Awaiting
to Determine Political Sue
cess of Achievements.
fey The Assoclated Pres.l

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Sec
ond year Of the Harding administration
finds congress graphing with arms
conference treaties, the soldiers bonus,
tariff. ship subsidy, appropriation bills
and scores OF other measures, with the
November election wanting to act as
probable scale TO determine political
success Of the results achieved.
In the face of the almost daily
lengthening program, republican lead
ers virtually have forgotten their
previous June adjournment goal and
many now are talking of July as the
wind-up date.
The treaties are to be paramount in
the senate and the bonus bill in the
house, broadly speaking, during the
next few weeks, with the probability
OF the tariff bill being reported to the
senate within ten days or two weeks.
Republican leaders hope to dispose Of
all OF the treaties before taking up the
tariff or bonus bills in the senate. APP
p r p iation bills, administration
spokesman, declare, are advanced more
than usual at this date, due to the OPP
GRAFTON of the new budget system, but
much delay on the army and navy ap-
preparation measures is expected.

publican member of the foreign rela-
tions committee and confidant Of
President Harding ON Tuesday, SEN

porter, is to speak. During the week
opponents also expect to get into ac-
tion, but the real fight over reserva-
tions is now under the surface" with
prospects of it not reaching the open
floor for several weeks The Harding

as assured of adoption, but
fights are impending on a number of
others promised from both republican
and democratic quarters Friends of
the four power treaties continue to ex-
press optimist over the prospects of
despite the conceded opin-
ion generally of the long and hard
fight facing tile~four- power mea sures.
The compromise soldiers bonus
measure drafted by the republican
of the house ways and
means committee is to be laid before
the full committee this week and pos
sibly brought before party. conferences.
That ateriai changes yet face the boz
nus legislation, before it is finally
evolved is being predicted widely.
The senate tomorrw viii continue
the fight over the proposal to enlarge
the appropriation committee, similar
TO the new house procedure under the
budget system. The change is being
fought as a proposed concentration of
power" Senate leaders also hope this
week to begin consideration of the de-
partment Of justice measure to create
a number of new federal judges to re-
Iieye congestion of the federal courts.
These measures are to be sandwiched
in between the four power treaty dis
cussion, with the latter scheduled to
get exclusive right of way in the sem
ate for a week or ten days.

PROPOSE SAME REMEDIES

Methods They Wish

tsy The Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON March 5.--The re-
publican majority in congress curing
its three years of control of the gov
ernment since 1918, and the republican
administration during the past year
have wholly failed to make good their
prediction promises and to grasp the
true economic conditions and apply
sound remedies therefor Cordell Hull,
chairman of the democratic national
committee, declared tonight in state
ment reviewing the first year Of the
republican party's administration OF
national affairs.
"The patent failure OF the chief re-
publican policies and the astonishing
breakdown of the reactionary leader
ship after March A. 1921, constitute the
chief characteristics Of the IL months
of the Harding administration" Mr..
Cordell declared. The first year of
this administration viii always be
notable for its failures rather than its
successes.

vantage helped TO create conditions

the people, republican leaders are es-
topped from asking 10 be excused for

:. Chairman Hull asserted that having
defeated in 1919 and 1920 the recon-
struction program of the democrats
tho republicans fare now proposing

country from panic conditions which
the program was designed to avoid.
Declaring that republican leaders are
lust now engaged in 'the ungracious
task OF trying to picture to the country
creditable record for the Harding ad-
mInistration thus far" the statement
continued:
..RepubIican accomplishments must in
evitably be weighed and their merits de-
termined in the light of republican pre-
election promises. and also in connection
with the unusual opportunities Tor great

when the opportunity and the need Tor

"Ths true test OF republican success or
failure during the past twelve months
n the question of whether the party
leaders were able to visualize the phys
ical facts showing the true position OF
America under postwar conditions and
apply such sound economic and other
policies as would best safeguard our eeo-
nomic and other essential interests and
meet our plain responsibilities.
"The mere pointing to inconsequentiall
budgetary paper-savings or to the tax
Ing OF only a minor and partial step in
