POLL INDICATES
DEFEAT Of BONUS
Passage of Bill After Prob
able Veto Unlikely, Senate
Count Shows.
PRESIDENTS STAND FIRM
Though Favorable to Soldier Re-
lief, He Would Insist on
Sales Tax.
PRESIDENTS STAND FIRM
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Soldier bonus looks hopeless today.
A count of noses in the Senate shows
the improbabiiity of passage over
presidential veto. Charges of insin-
cerity are being openly made, for the
bill as it passed the House has been
loaded up with amendments which
alone would produce presidential
veto, and the fact is that men who
are known to be ready to vote
against the bonus bill when it is
finally presented have helped by their
votes to attach amendments to the
bill.
American Legion men still are con-
fdent that President Harding will
not commit what seems to them po-
lftical blunder in vetoin8 the soldiers
compensation bill. They argue that
Mr.. Harding acknowledges that In
principle he favors soldiers bonus
and that he committed himself to that
course in the 1920 campaign. Mr..
Harding has said, however. that he
objects to the methods proposed for
financing the bonus. II he can be
convinced that the methods are
sound, his fundamental attitude on
the bonus itself would. 1t is con-
tended. make II lnCuHuehs opoh haAh
to sign the bill.
Enough votes are assured to pass
the measure in the Senate, and the
friends of the bill still have an op-
portunity to eliminate the undesfra-
BILE Senate amendments when the bill
gets into the conference committee
So long as there Is a chance OF Sc
champions Of the bill will work to
get the thing in such shape as to at
tract the presidential pen.
President for Bonus.
So far as Mr. Harding is concerned,
he has reiterated recently that he
fayors a bonus, but that unless a sales
tax is enacted the legislation should
be postponed until the nations
finances are in better condition than
they are now. Senator Smoot pro-
posed a sales tax and 1t was rejected
in the Senate. Thus Mr.. Harding &
request has been refused and he is
in a position, if he chooses, to make
that the basis of his veto.
The President has not publicly pro-
claimed his intention Of vetoing the
bill, however, nor has he said SO In
any formal way to congress-. IN re,
sponse to inquiries. he has declared
thai he did not think it proper fol-
the chief executive to say what his
course would be in advance of action
nv Congress. This Is not an altogether
new conception Of executive courtesy
toward Congress, but it is in line with
Mr. Harding's belief that the legis'
iatiye branch should be given every
opportunity to exercise its free judge
ment without dictation from thu
white House. So many times In the
past members of Congress have ex.
cused their votes on the ground thai
tbey did not wish to vote against the
President OF that they felt it useless
to champion q bill which was certain
of executive disapproval.
Congregational Responsibility.
The Presidents idea is that con-
gressional responsibility for the pas
sage of legislation shall rest solel,

PHILADELPHIA. August 31.-Unit-
ed States Senator Pepper was expect
ed to be informed today of the atti-
tude of the miners and operators to-
ward the suggestions made to them
in Washington Tuesday night to end
the protracted suspension in the an
thracite fields.
Both sides still had the suggestions
under consideration. but definite
statement was looked for later in the
day from the parties to the contro-
versy. Senator Pepper was expected
in Philadelphia to receive the replies,
and on the nature of these depends
whether = joint conference of miners
and operators will be called.
Oher Of Operators.
The operators have been offering to
renew the old wage scale until April
1923, provided the miners are willing
TO arbitrate a wage scale for the fol-
lowing coal year. The miners want
a wage agreement based on the old
contract to run until April, 1924, with
out arbitration.
The suggestions offered by Senator
Pepper provide that the operators
waive arbitration and that the miners
agree to terminate the proposed con-
tract in a year from the date OF its
execution.
A proposal for an investigation OF
the anthracite industry by Congress
or some agency created by that body
Is said to have been tentatively sug-
gested.
Settlement Within - Hours.
Settlement of the anthracite sus-
pension within twenty-four hours was
forecast today by men in close touch
with both sides. Those thoroughly
familiar with the situation declared
that the joint conferences, broken on
abruptly early last week over the
deadlock on the arbitration problem
might be resumed today to consider
the compromise peace plan" suggest
ed by United States Senators Pepper
and Reed of Pennsylvania at the lonG
conference in Washington Tuesday.
Dispatches from Wilkes-Barre tend
ed to confirm reports that. the opera
tors had abandoned their arbitration
demands. The Rev. j. J. Curran. pas
tor of ST. Mary's Catholic Church OF
that city. predicted an early. resump-
ton OF WOrk III tne HipSS.
Father Curran. who became famous
in the 1902 strike, based his predic-
tion. he said, on a telephone conver-
sation with John L. Lewis. He also
said that the length Of the contract is
the only issue remaining between the
anthracite diggers and the employers

conferences Here with both sides In
