THE BONUS AND

AiAA IAhiMAifIEsS.
From the New York Tribune.
The fate OF the tonus bill in Con-
gress is likely to be determined large
ly by the results OF the sprlng pri-
maries. The urge behind this meas
ure in the House was chiefly pollti-
cal and fence-mending. Members
were much more concerned about
making votes for themselves than
about giving the soldiers adjusted
compensation.
The primaries so far nave rot IN
dicated any urgent neei. to bargain
for the soldier vote" In Illinois
two active supporters OF the bonus
have been defeated for renomina-
ton. But It is said that "wet-dry'
cross-firing was more responsible for
their defeat than the bonus was.
However this may be, support Of
the bonus did not offset other
weaknesses. The potency OF the
bonus as a vote getting issue is now
seen to have keen grossly exag-
gerated. The average Congressman
can hardly help losing faith In the
political investment so ardently
recommended TO him last winter by
the House leaders.
This slackening OF confidence in
the bonus as a vote winner will have
good results. The bonus project
has never been considered so far on

In both months however, the operating deficit was
much less than it last December.

which was 81 233064 in excess OF those in 1920. while
the operating expenses that road during the past

first step Russia must be de-Bol-

But though this is Acknowledged.
It is said that the Job OF de-Bolshe-

the Bolshe'ssts. II is assumed that
they are capable OF turning about

believe this? Can men completely

VIII the Bolshevist party allow

ferrous.
That the Genoa experts are
aware of this is suggested by the
significant care they display In
keeping avav e~om mention OF the
uses OF the Russian malady. They
appear as CONCESSION chasers, ready
to do business with any regime,
rather than as friends OF the Rus
sian people. They are not ignorant

with a pretense OF candor Lenine
has said I'VE have been beaten on
the economic front. Capitalism has
been too strong for u.s. We are
ready. for a time at least, TO allow
private ownership and privately
controlled industry"
What these fair words mean IN
practice Thomas II. Dickinson tells
with eye witness accuracy.
A Soviet official approaches the
former manager OF a factory for the
making Of felt boots and tells him
the terms on wkich he Is TO be per-
mitted TO re-enter business, saying;
you are to give up your Job. re-
linquish your salary and ration and
take over yoyf old factory that is
waiting for-you. We will put your
factory in order, but you must pay
the wages and obtain the rations of
your labor. We will take half OF
your output for the state. The La
bor Council will control the num-
ber and hours Of the workmen."
One can imagine why there Is no
rush to go into business in Moscow.
Only a mocking image OF business
self-determination is allowed. The
factory, in all vital matters. Is more
than ever in government control. BY
decree the government, which keeps
in its warehouses the only consider

The Coal Strike Situation
(FrOm the. New York Herald).

Coal strike leaders are claiming
steady gains In the shutdown Of
non-union bltuminous mines. Their
estimates Of the number OF nom
union men that have been induced
to go out by the union organizers
run all the way from 35 900 to S.
600. On the other hand the oper-
ators are confident that quite as

Russia s Disease
(From the New York Tribune)

The report relative to the restora-
ton Of Russia prepared a. London
for submission TO the Genoa con-
ference is more intelligent than
most discussions OF Russia's plight.
But II falls to come to grips with
the vital factor in the Russian prob
lemT-a factor whose persistence
forbids Russian regeneration.
When did Russia fall sickf Dur
Ing the early stages Of the war
though her losses In men were MANY.
she suffered no more than her
allies-not so much as France or
Belgium. In the main Russian life
went on as usual. Except here and
there. there was no lack OF food
Industrial production actually in
creased. The Cars government was
corrupt and inefficient, but probably
not so much so as its predecessors
The disease now raging frs
manifested itself when the revolu-
ton, which promised so well. came
under the control OF Lenine and his
associates. They held to and applied
the doctrine that the capitalistic
system OF production was baslcally
wrong; that the industrial leader
ship provided by the bourgeolse
was unnecessary; that elected in
dustrial leaders could do better for
the general happiness. In a word.
they ushered In communism.
Immediately a decline in wealth
production started which swept on
until the present abyss was reached.
Progressively fewer factories were
open. fewer railroad trains were rur,
fewer acres were titled. Russians
had not at once become slothful,
but they lost opportunity TO work at
all or TO advantage. The Bolshevist
system, throttling individual inltia-
tive and making all uncertain

OF their toll, wrecked Russia and

II shows that the union miners
themselves realize the wage scales
their leaders insist upon maintain
ing are too high to permit the union
mines to operate in competition with
the non-union mines. In some in
stances the scales OF the non-union
mines, are not much more than half
what the union scale is. But six
days Of work a week in the nom
union mine, selling all the coal Il
could produce, put more money into
the pockets OF the non-union work
ers than two days Of work a week
in the union mines put into the poe
kets OF the union worker even be-
fore the strike.
II that was a strong enough Rp-
peal TO draw men out OF union BIZ
luminous mines into non-union
mines even before the strike, be-
cause they knew the union mines
could not operate under the labor
costs Of getting out their coal. those
men must equally realize that II
there we're any chance OF the unions

men no good to win Il. since the
paying jobs would still be in the

say so and try to negotiate a set
