NOT A GIFT
Court Says Bonus Offer Is
Wages

Raleigh, N. C.-The state supreme
court has ruled that a bonus should
be considered as wages, and not as a
gift.
The decision was written by Chief
Justice Clark, one of the forward
looking members of the judiciary of
this country.
The decision was made in the case
of Seth Roberts, mill worker, who was
not given the promised bonus when
ne was discharged. The mill manage
ment said he was discharged because
he was critical of an officer of the
law employed there to keep the place
clean" There was no claim that
Roberts was inefficient or failed to
properly perform his duties. It was
shown that he remained in the en-
ploy of the company because of the
bonus which was to be paid at Christ
mas. He was discharged before that
time.
Chief Justice Clark said the posting
of the bonus notice and the setting in
to work of Roberts until the end of
the year constituted contract, pro-
vided he did his work satisfactorily.
The discharge of Roberts, unless for
sufficient cause, would amount to a
breach of contract and was a wrong
full discharge, said the court.
"This bonus," continued Justice
Clark, sis not gratuity or a gift,
but is an offer on the part of the
employer with whom the offer origi-
mates, in order to procure efficient and
faithful employees, and when the en-
ploye enters upon the service upon
that inducement it becomes supple
mentary contract of which he can not
be deprived without sufficient cause"
The lower court refused to permit
the jury to pass upon the question Of
the discharge was justified.
Justice Clark remanded the case back
FOR retrial with orders that the jury
this question.

Senators Demand
Passenger and
Freight Rate Cuts

Washington. Jan. 1S.-Demards for
reduced railroad rates, both freight
and passenger. were made by several
senators today when debate was be-
gun on the bill of Senator Watson,
Republican. Indiana, to order the rail-
roads to issue interchangeable mile
agc books in 5000-mile lots at 81 cents
per mile.
Reduced rates would stimulate traf-
fc and increase railroad revenues. Sem
ator Cummins, Republican, Iowa,
chairman of the Senate Interstate
commerce committee. asserted. Rate
reductions were hoped for. he added,
as a result of the present rate inquiry
OF the interstate commerce commits
sion.
Present rate levels, Senator Robin
son. Democrat. Arkansas. said. had net
only INSTRUCTED commerce, but in hun
dreds of cases had actually stopped
business. The interchangeable mileage
book plan, he added. would increase
passenger traffic and fill cars which
the railroads, he declared. now carry
half empty.
Senator Robinson spoke at length il,
support of the interchangeable mileage
books bill. which has been urged by
many organizations of travelling men
and commercial bodies. The bill was
opposed by Senator Cummins, who Of
fered a substitute authorizing the iu-
tcrstate commerce commission to order
mileage books at rate which would
be fair and compensatory.
Congress should not say. he said,
whether the proposed rate Of q cents
n mile would be fair. 1t also was
trespassing on state rights. he assert
cd. in proposing to fix a>rate for intra.
state travel.
Senator Robinson proposed that the
mileage books be issued in 5000 in
stead of 500o-mile books. Further
discussions went over until tomorrow.

Science Trustees
Side Finished
in Supreme Court

Boston, Jan. 1S.-Evidence for the
former trustees of the Christian
Science Publishing Society in their
petition for allowance of their ac-
counts was concluded in the supreme
court today. Judge Crosby announced
that the directors of the First Church
OF Christ, Scientist. would be given
two hours tomorrow to submit testi-
mony. After that, he said, he would
consider the names suggested by the
directors for appointment as trustees.
Herbert w. Eustace, senior member
of the former board of trustees, and
John r.. Watts, business manager of
the society, were heard today. Mr..
Watts told Of his refusal 10 turn over
the affairs of the society to Charles
T.. Jarvis, secretary to the directors.
and of his letter to Mr.. Jarvis saying
he would relinquish his Office "onlv
upon an order of the court indicating
that our responsibility had ceased and
designating those to whom the respon-
sibility should be given"
Mr.. Eustace defended the payment
Of full salary to Lamont Rowlands
from the time the directors removed
him as trustee until the supreme court
announced it's decision unfolding the
removal. He said that when Paul
Harvey succeeded Rowlands as trus-
tee the other trustees decided that he
should be permitted to continue his
work for the society in New York,
which had no effect on his work at
Boston. and he was paid for both. He
declared Mr.. Harvey's services were
of great Importance and it would have
been almost impossible to get anyone
else to do the work he did. He also
justified extra payments given to va
rious employees.
Mr.. Eustace said the San Francisco
depot of the society was established
because of the deliberate attempts TO
destroy the society's periodicals.. in
stancing messages which he asserted
had been sent to subscribers OF the
Pacific coast asking them "if it was
not time they stopped their subscriI-
tons" He said the trustees had ig-
nored protests from certain subscrib-
ers against the way the trustees had
conducted the business. declaring that
ut was part of deliberate. vicious ar
tempt to destroy what Mrs. Eddy had
accomplished"

listed men in home and foreign prison
camps was presented today to the
Senate committee Investigating
charges that American soldiers had
been hanged without trial in France.

Garden. w. Va. said he had no knowl-
edge Of his own as to such crimes.
Sharply pressed by members of the
committee as to his reason for making
conflicting statements. ,Bennear ex-
planned that he had written the teie-

rewriting them with the view of elm

Kid DUDE Defies New
Eng. 126-POunders

Portland, Me-, Jan. 1S-kid DUDE of
Lewiston, Me-, through his manager
Charlie Turner last night declared
that he was a serious challenger for
the featherweight championship of
New England and would post a for
felt to meet any boxer in the six
states at 126 pounds at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon. This is the new light
weight limit. which DUDE makes for
his battles in New York.
Matchmaker Frank DeRice OF the
Pine Tree A. c. tried to match DUDE
with Young Steve Travers of Bid
deford. but the boxers were unable to
agree. 1t is understood that Travers
wanted DUDE to make 124 at o'clock,
and DUDE wants the recognized new
limit of 126 pounds. DUDE says he'll
take on any featherweight of recog-
nized ability at the latter weight, and
will show that he is the logical man
to meet the present N. E. title holder
Chick Suggs of New Bedford for the
featherweight crown.

SENATE TOHURRY
Continued from Pase one)

publicans were ready. to join with
Democratic senators in demanding
this provision be retained in the
measure.
Official spokesman for the confer
ence took pains to make it clear that
the majority senator's had declared
for "a" bonus bill and not the par
ticular bill which was referred back
to the Senate finance committee last
July on the recommendation of
President Harding. Some leaders.
said however, that the measure to be
reported to the. Senate undoubtedly
would be similar to that one insofar
as the five ways for payment of ad-
justed compensation were concerned.
Most of the discussion of the bonus
centered around the means of pro-
viding the necessary funds. Some
senators favored measure carrying
merely an obligation against the gov
eminent with payments to be made
out of current receipts as money was
available for the purpose, but it was
said that the preponderance of senti-
ment was for u specific provision that
the financing be done with funds de-
rived from the sale of refunded
British bonds in the United States.
This brought up the question of a
sales tax or some other special form
of taxation, proponents OF sales tax
arguing that some such plan would
be necessary to bridge the gap be-
| tween the time Of the passage of the
| legislation and the time that funds
| from the sale of the refunded British
bonds would become available. They
were understood to have argued that
the money from the bonds might not
be available for several months or a
year after the, bonus bill was passed
as the refunding negotiations might
| consume. considerable time and soma
| might bel necessary for the sale of the
| bonds.
| A general speeding up of the work
! of the Senate also was said to have
| brought up with suggestions for day
| and night sessions of the finance COM
| mittec.
| Aside from the allied debt refund
| ing bill and the bonus measure, the
| Senate Will have before it the four
! power treaty, the tariff bill and all
Of the supply measures as well as 9TH
er important matters.
Coincident with the action of the
Senate Republicans. a group of House
| members who saw service during the
war began circulating a petition call
ing for. a conference of Republican
representatives next week at which it
is expected discussion will ~center
chiefly around proposed means OF Fl.
