BROOKLYN CHAMBER

The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce
has once more placed itself on record
in opposition TO the soldiers bonus. In
response 20 request from the Cham
Der OF Commerce OF the United States
which has been leading the fight against
the bonus legislation. the Brooklyn
chamber wrote last week to United
States Senator'S Calder and Wadsworth
urging the defeat OF the pending legis-
lation. The letter. which was signed by
acting President Frederick w. Rowe
and Secretary Mayo Fesler, was as fol-

enough of these Senators in line to
put the McCumber measure over by a
substantial majority. II their con-
fidence Is justified there is no valid
reason for disputing the claim.
One of the most encouraging signs
In the bonus situation is that the sup
porters Of the McCumber measure are
entirely Indifferent as TO its fate at
the White House or at the hands Of
the conference committee Of the two
houses. The weight of Senatorial opin-
ION is that the conference will make
short work Of il; that the House OF
representatives will accept the Senate
bill out OF hand and send the measure
TO the President. What the pro-bonus
Senators strategy will be while await
ing action in that quarter is a matter
Of conjecture. A large number OF
members Of both houses would un-
doubtedlv support o proposal to ad-
journ without waiting for executive
actionxbecause they know veto Of
the bonus bin will be upheld.
The chances are that the President

out delay Some of the leaders in the
Senate opposition would not be sur
prised II he decided to intervene be-
fore q vote is reached in the Senate

point was the White House statement
The basis for speculation on this
on Friday that "the President would
reserve comment on the bonus for the
present" This was accepted to mean
that he may decide to make an APP
peal to the Senate 10 set aside the
bonus until the country is in better
position TO stand the strain. .
The debate over the bonus to-day
was comparatively brief and not par
ticuIarly interesting Despite the
agreement to keep the measure con-
stantly before the Senate ito the ex-
ate tossed it aside and devoted most
OF its six hour session to discussing
the coal strike.
Senator Reed (Pa-) was accorded
the unusual honor of presiding over
the Senate after being a member OF II
for eight days. He was compelled TO
forego the pleasure of reading hum
dreds of kilograms from all over the
country approving his manly action
In announcing his determination to
save the President from embarrass-
ment over the bonus bill by announc-
ing his decision TO oppose 1t at once.
Many OF the kilograms received by
the youthful Pennsylvania Senator
came from ex-service men and MEM
bers OF the American Legion who are
opposed to the bonus scheme on pa
triotic as we'll as moral and economic
grounds. Mr.. Reed. who shouldered
the merited honor with becoming mod
esty, declined to add anything to what
he said yesterday.
The bonus bill was injected into the
discussion OF Mr.. Borah's coal measure
by Senator McCumber by calling at
tention to the agreement to take up
the bonus without delay. The North
Dakota Senator said he was perfectly

Declares Democrats Can't
Afford to Split-Must
Defeat Miller.
FUHRMANN IS MENTIONED
Represents Publishers Policies
but Rumor Is He May Not
Suit Murphy.

William ]. Conners, manager OF the
Hearst boom, is still boosting the pub
Usher. but he does not go so far as to
declare he will be nominated for Gov
ernor at the Syracuse State Conven-
ton.
Il want to tell you I've got sur
prise to spring at Syracuse" he said
at the McAlpin Hotel headquarters
Just before leaving for an absence of
ten days. I'm not uncovering my
hand just now. but when we get to the
convention you'll find that Hearst will
have more delegates than any other
candidate"
AS to a report that information had
reached the Hearst headquarters to
the effect that. contrary 10 recently
published reports, former Governor
Alfred L. Smith could not count on
the support OF thirty-three Tammany
leaders and was much weaker with
the organization than when first
elected Governor Mr.. Corners did not
care to comment. When it was sug-
gested. however. that, If Charles L.
Murphy should turn Smith down, it
would mean a spit in the party here,
he bristled~up right away and said:
There can't be split in the party.
The Democrats in New York city have
got to hang together and defeat Miller.
Ii the Governor is reelected ne intends
to have the Legislature establish a
finance commission to. gsvern the city.
II will take away all 1.-THE patronage
from the Democratic administration and
the organiza ton here will starve to
death"
Mr.. Corners said he believed the Muir
ply mind was entirely open on the
question of Governor and would remain
so until he reached Syracuse.
Then" he added, II believe he will
be for the candidate VINO can show
he has the most delegates upstate"
The Hearst manager Is still of the
impression that seven or eight candi-
dates will fight it out in the conven-
ton. but he doesn't want to talk COM
promise now. although it Is plain for
mer Mayor Louis Fuhrmann occupies
that possible niche in his mind.
Because of some recent talk that
Supreme Court Justice Robert r. Wag-
ner might be dark horse he was
asked:
I'm case OF a com promise between
Smith and Hearst might the candidate
be Wagner?
Mr.. Conners thought for moment
and then, with twinkle of HIS, eye,
replied:
"In case of such a compromise ii
would be Hearst"
But ii is said Justice Wagner would
represent the Hearst policies" re-

The Bursum amendment was then
passed over for the time being. Presid-
ing Officer Reed thereupon rendered
his first decision. 1t was that vote
on the Bursum amendment would have
the effect of shutting off other amend
ments to the McCumber bill.
Mr.. McNary then brought up his
rider amendment. which proposes to
saddle the country with s350,000,000
TO promote reclamation projects in
eleven of the far Western States.
Senator Ashurst (Ariz.) painted in
glowing colors the advantages of the
reclamation scheme. He said the
project would aid every other State In
the country TO develop its trade and
commerce. He pointed out that the
vast stretches of arid and swamp lands
could be made habitable for ex-service
men who desire TO avail themselves or

Senator Dial Is. C.). who is opposed

Senator McCumber declared this was

objected After some wrangling the
agreement to limit the discussion of
amendments was agreed to. Senator
Robinson (Ark.), attempted to procure
an agreement 10 curtail general de-
bate.
There Is no use going ahead with

Borah, because it is perfectly impos-

RED MIKE CARMEN
CLAIM $3.50 OVERTIME
Staten Island Workers Want
City to Pay.

Motormen of municipal trolley cars
on Staten Island are owed more than
$3.50 each for overtime work.
Some OF the men declare they have not
received cent for overtime for the last
month and no reason Is given them by
the Department of Plant and Structures.
The city trolleys on Staten Island were
l,ut into operation by Mayor Hylan

What Senate Journal Shows

Now it develops that the Senate's
final action on the bill upon its re-
turn from the House was not proper
ly journalizcd and the attorneys for
Calm and Company have so notified
the Board of County Commissioners.
The journal does not show a yea and
a nay vote on the passage of the
bill as amended. No action has as
yet teen brought, and probably will
not be, until the Court of Appeals de-
termines the Washington county case
Meanwhile. the Mclean Construc-
ton Company, of Baltimore, holders
of the contract for the bridge have
begun work on it, and it would ap-
pear that, whatever the decision OF
the Appellate Court may he, the
county will, of course, be liable to
the contractors. This means that the
county would have to borrow money
from some other quarter in order to
finance building the bridge.
