HOUSE Will.
PASS BONUS
THURSDAY?
Comes Up Under Rule
Suspension; Support
ers Confident.

Washington, March 21-The SOL
siers' bonus bill will be taken up
nv the house on Thursday under
suspension of the rules. under a
plan agreed upon today at a con-
/ ference between Speaker Gillett
and Chairman Campbell of the
rules committee.
The speaker, it was said, has
agreed TO entertain a motion TO
suspend the rules. Mr.. Campbell
said he would call a meeting of his
committee tomorrow morning at
which he will ask committee mem
bers to report a rule designating
Thursday as suspension day, with
q proviso that four hours debate
on the bill shall be provided.
Need TwO-ThirdS Vote.
Under this procedure. a two
thirds majority would be neces-
sary TO pass the bill. No amend
ments would be permitted nor
would it be possible to make a mo-
ton to recommit the measure to
the ways and means committee
Those in charge of the legisla-
ton were confident it would re-
eeive more than the two-thirds ma
jority. They expected the vote TO
come before adjournment on Thurs
day after two hours of discussion
on each side.
The rule will have to be agreed
to by a majority of the rules com
mittee and then will have to OBJ
tain a majority vote in the house.
Proponents of the bonus legislation
were confident that both majorities
could be obtained.
Deny Demos MotieH. .-~~--
Speaker Gillett said the poposi-
ton had narrowed down to whether
the bill should be put on its pas
sage without opportunity for
amendment or with opportunity for
one motion from the Democratic
side. and that he was inclined tc
think it would be better not to per
nit the Democrats to offer the one
motion. In this connection he call
ed attention to the minority report
on the bill prepared by Represent
alive Kitchen of North Carolina, anc
some other members of the ways
and means committee, in which il
was urged that the excess profits
and high surtaxes be restored.
Mr.. Gillett explained that the pro
cedure would be to recognize Chair.
man Campbell to present the rule
to make Thursday suspension day
and on adoption of that rule Chair
man Fordney would be recognized
for motion to suspend the rules
and pass the bill Democratic lead
ers and opponents of the bonus
measure were expected to make d
fight against adoption of the rule
and as there would be four hours
debate on the bill itself the final
vote would be delayed until late
Thursday. The speaker said, how
ever, that it was the plan to "clean
the whole thing up" in one day.

MA
RAPS MARRIAGE
'OUTSIDE CLAM
Says History Proues
Woman Will Be
sSIaUe'.

Chicago, March 21.-Edith Rocke-
feller Mccormick, daughter of John
d. Rockefeller, Sr., tracing the
progress of women, told represen-
tatives of many local women's or
ganlzations here yesterday that If
a woman marrieS outside her own
clan or tribe she'll be a slave His
tory proves it,
The meeting at which Mrs. Nc
Cormick spoke was preliminary to
the Women's Progress exposition,
to be. held here June to 10, to
which Mrs. Mccormick will be gem
eral chairman. The engagement of
Mrs. McCormick's 16 year old
daughter Mathilde, to Max Oser,
Swiss riding academy proprietor.
recently was announced.
Hate "Foreign Bride.
I'm olden times" Mrs. McCor-
mick said, "if a man were bored
with the women of his own tribe,
he went and stole a wife from an
other clan"
The stolen bride had a sorry
time of it, according to Mrs. Nc
the mems tribe always hated a for
eign bride, who consequently had
to depend for happiness entirely on
her husband, to whom she was vir-
tually a slave. From this condi-
ton, she said, there grew up a kind
of serfdom for women which en-
meshed women who married out
side their own tribe.
This period of serfdom was an
era of down-curves for women, she
said, but it was sandwiched in be-
tween two up-curves, the ancient
and modern.
"Women Now VictOrs".
Women are now victors. But
they are much more than victors,
Mrs. Mccormick said. for they
have done much more than fight
for their place, which has been
won through sociological develop
ment and growth.
'All the modern woman wants
is to be let alone. to develop, TO
demonstrate and to expand" she
said. Mother love is important,
but it is not everything. Woman's
universal love is a bigger thing,
she said in conclusion.

New York, March 21-The order
for suspension of work in the an

throughout the country, affecting
about 100000 miners, will be issued
late this afternoon, according to
Philip Murray, international vice
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America.
Washington, March 21.-The gov
ernment was slated at the White
house today as not having entirely
abandoned its attempts to bring
bituminous operators and miners
together in a conference designed
to avert strike in such fields
April l. The added statement was
made that no steps had been taken
or results attained which would
justify a public announcement.
Chicago, March 21.-Announce-
ment that the coal mine strike
orders would be issued today was
characterized by DR.. F. c. Honnold,
secretary OF the Illinois Coal
Operators association as lust a
gesture intended to bolster up the
miners spirits"
IL ul6duS less tHoA II
he said The miners leaders are
just trying to improve the morale
of their men by telling them that
they actually are going to exercise
punitive powers and go on strike if
their wage demands are not
granted.
LAS a matter of fact there could
be nothing but a cessation of work
when the present contract expires.
If the wages were to be revised up
ward, then the miners would agree
to a middle ground wage pending
adjustment and remain at work.
But when wages are to be revised
downward and they oppose re-
vision downward, naturally there
can be no temporary middle ground
so work must stop when the con-
tracts run out unless new con-
tracts have been made So such
an order is Just one more move
which is not in any way a sur
prise"
