Indications were given at the

Harding expects the enactment of
soldiers bonus bill at this ses-
sion Of Congress, and that such a

SMOOT EXPLAINS
STATUS Of BONUS
Unnecessary to Join Unions
to Get Added Salary,
Senator Asserts.

Government employees do not have to
join union to retain the bonus.
Senator Smoot of Utah told the Senate
this afternoon. and indicated that the
bonus would be included in the ap-
preparation bills this session If re-
classification legislation does not pass.
The Utah senator informed the SEN
ate that there was drive on by the
federation to obtain new members,
using as an argument that the bonus
was In peril
L have received many letters from
government employees asking If it was
necessary for them to join a union in
order to obtain the bonus" said Sena-
tor Smoot. There is a drive now GO
ing on giving as a reason the fact
that every employe ought to join the
organization SO as to get the benefit
OF the bonus.
Membership Unnecessary.
II want to tell the government en-
ployes that it is not necessary for
them to do so. The federation can
not change or influence any action of
Congress. OF course, it can be as.
sumed that the $240-a-year bonus will
be continued in some form il re-
classification legislation does not
pass. -.
TN some cases" he continued, II
know 1t would work a real hardship
apd employees would be deprived Of
money put the main thing is that
no act OF the federation will influence
p!oyes desire to join the federation,
Of course they have the power and
the right to do 80"
ANY government employe who de-
sires to see Chairman Madden Of the
House appropriations committee be-
cause he feels any injustice has been
done or contemplated toward him in
salary provisions can have a prompt
audience. Employees do not need to
seek any political influence and their
cases Will be settled on presentation
OF the facts and not on political in
fuence.''
Madden Makes Policy Clear.
This was emphatically stated as his
policy today by Chairman Madden
when committee Of printers and
mechanics from the bureau Of en-
craving and printing called upon him.
They have read in the hearings in
preparation of the Treasury Depart
ment bill questions he had asked
whether the wages fixed by the wage
board had gone up when an increase
was ordered. and whether they had
gone. down when a decrease was or
dered. This committee got the idea
that Mr.. Madden was preparing to cut
their pay. They visited him with the
proposal that they wanted their pay
to be kept in balance with that paid
for similar kinds of work outside of
government service.
Previous to their coming, Mr.. Mad
den had received a telegram from
Chicago asking II he would receive
this delegation. He told the COM
mittee that they had no/need at any
time to seek influence to get hear
ing from him.

HUGHES AND BALFOUR
WORKING QUIETLY FOR
SHANTUNG AGREEMENT
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Arthur j. Balfour and Secretary
Hughes are working quietly and
indirectly to effect settlement of
the Shantung controversy. it was
understood today. despite Japan's
refusal to join with the Chinese
delegation in a request for such
mediation.
With no sign of the Chinese with
drawing opposition to accepting a
Japanese loan to pay for the kiao
Chow railway in the former Ger
man leasehold. and with the Japa-
pese admitting their readiness to
transmit to Toxic any new pro-
posals for settlement, it was ex-
pected in conference circles that
Mr.. Balfour and Secretary Hughes
might work out some formula
which might be acceptable to the
Japanese which would enable them
to meet the Chinese on grounds
which would save the national
pride of both nations.

DECISION ON GENOA
IS STILL WITHHELD
Subject Still Being Consid.
ered-Mr. Hoover May
Head Delegation.
By the Associated Press.

An authoritative statement was
made following today's cabinet meet
ing that no decision had been reached
by President Harding and his ad-
visers regarding the invitation ex.
tended to the United States by the
allied supreme council to participate,
along with Russia and Germany. in
the European economic conference to
be held at Genoa in March.
Considerable discussion, however, is
going on in official circles over the
possible choice of American delegates
to the conference should this govern
ment decide to take part in the de-
liberations at Genoa.
Mr. Hoover May BE Chosen.
Because Of the highly technical ma
ture of the problems which will come
up for solution by the conference and
the necessity for an intimate knowl-
edge of International conditions on
the part Of the delegates, the opinion
was expressed that Secretary Hoover
would head the American delegation.
If the invitation be accepted.
b On the otner nand, however, some
officials are inclined to the view that
Mr.. Hoover's services in connection
with the conference would be more
valuable to the government IL he re-
mains in this country to lend his coun-
Gil to the matters which would natur-
ally be referred back to Washington
by the American delegation.
Belief Ii Strengthened,
The belief that Japan will be rep
resented at the Genoa conference
was strengthened today by japanese
spokesmen at the arms parley. They
pointed out that Japan will be par
ticulariy desirous Of participating in
the discussions IL Russian represen-
tatives are to take part in the de-
IberaSions, in view Of her proximity
to Siberia and her economic interest
in the development Of that country.

state game commission to answer
charges that he hunted in the
state without a license.
Replying today to an inquiry from
Secretary NJ. D. Hart Of the Virginia
department of game and inland
fisheries, Mr.. Denby called atten-
ton to the fact that license No.
3011 was held by the present naval
head. and expressed the conviction
that his fame as a hunter was not
so great as to warrant his exclu-
sion from the rich game preserves
of Virginia.
The question whether the Sec
retary Of the Navy had hunted in
virginia without license arose
yesterday when Secretary Hart
submitted to Mr.. DENLY an anony-
nous letter inclosing a clipping
reporting the Secretary's hunting
trip and asking If these birds of
republican plumage are not ex-
pected and required to pay a hunt
ing license as Mr.. w. ]. Bryan?"

All national banks. three trust COM
panies and several savings institu-
tions elect directors for the ensuing
year today.
While only a few of the boards of
directors organized following the
election OF their directors and the
complete roster of officers will not be
known for at least ten days. the
charges, retiriments and elections in
several banks foreshadow the passing
from Office Of some men who hereto
fore have been prominent in banking.
It has been known for some time
that there was to be a change in
the ofiicial family of the Commercial
Bank, and, judged from the election
of the new board of directors. these
rumors were undoubtedly based upon
facts.
Three New Directors.
Albert Carry, Edward ]. Brennan
and Laurence A. Slaughter were the
three new directors added to the list
of the Commercial today. The reor-
ganization meeting of the institution
will be held tomorrow. when. 1t is

will materialize.

from active connection with the bank.
New Dupont Director.
The election of Henry H. Flather,
prominent real estate dealer. to the
directorate Of the Dupont National
Bank would tend to confirm the
rumor that he will assume active
management of that institution.

noon, m% when it is expected that the
following officers will be elected:
Flather, vice president; L r.
