TWO WAGE BASES ARE
 ARGUED BEFORE BOARD

Chicago, August 3o.--Two minimum living wage bases, one of at least 70 cents an hour and the other ranging from AS to ga cents an hour, were ar gued today before the United States labor board in behalf of 100000 main tenance of way men. whose annual pay roll was reduced s50. 0.0o0.000 by a recent wage decision of the board
 The wage rate of from 4s to 5S cents an hour was strongly argued by w. Jett Lauck. statistician for the unions He declared that the mini mum rate of 48 cents was accepted as a living wage by the unions after a comprehensive study. of budget sys- tems. Most of his argument today was in support of the unions con tention that 48 cents an hour was the lowest wage on which. man and family could exist. that the applica- ton of living wage was practical by application of the budget system; labor has as much right to expect a fair return from it's energy as capital has from it's monetary investments.

SENATORS CONVINCED
 MEASURE TO BE VETOED

washinRton, August 30.--(Special) If is learned definitely today 'hat the President has given no oirect, unequiyocal assurance that he wouia veto the bonus bill If 1t reaches nm without an attendant method or rais- ing the funds the payment or the bonus will make necessary.
 Senators leading the fight against the bonus, however. are convinced that the President will veto the Dill, although they admit that he has not recently intimated that he would do so.
 Said Senator Underwood of Ala hama today: The President has not informed any senator since the initii- ton of the bonus fight in the Senate that he would veto the bill. be- lieve that he will do so, however.
 There have been reports to the effect that senators opposing the bonus supported the McNary reclama- ton amendment increasing the cost ofithe bonus the first year s350.o00.- 900, in order to make a presidential veto more certain. I supported the reclamation proposition only becauss 2 would have supported 1t had 1t been submitted as separate and distinct proposition.
 S "As matter of fact. I do not Je- s1ieve that the attachment or the Mc- Nary amendment. will have great in- 4fluence with the President in his s consideration of the measure. E Foreign Debt Proposed
 The Simmons amendment. which was also adopted, Instructed the treasury to pay the bonus with inter est on the European debt. When such interest is collected is another proposition. The commissioners ap- the European debt oppose the Sim the European debt, opose the Sim mons amendment. It has been said that the President objects to any proposition making bonus payment subject to any contingency. It is said that he regards as impracticable any proposition which necessita.es | the counting of the chickens befor< 1 they are matched.
 1 And 1t has been generally under 1 stood that the Secretary of tn, 1 Treasury has in mind the paymen | of interest on Liberty bonds an, | other government indebtedness witt l the interest at some time to be col
 lected In Europe." Senator Underwood added that il
 All probability the Simmons amend
 mept would be eliminated in confer enco. .sf-'t x '.'*'s.

ALL AMENDMENTS
 ID BONUS MEASURE ARE DISPOSED 0F'
Final Vote May Be Taken at Today's Session-Fayor- able Action Is Reason
 ably Assured

Washington, August 30.--All pend ing amendments to the soldiers' bonus bill were disposed of today by the Senate, but whether final vote would be reached tomorrow depended upon the number and length of speeches.
 With favorable action assured. the paramount question in the minds of friends and foes alike was the re- ception the measure would receive at the White House. There still was no official word from the Pres ident but callers who discussed the subject with himy today said they gained the impression that the ad- dition of the land reclamation pro- feet and the provision for tho pay ment of the bonus out of the irl- terest on the foreign debt had made the bill even more obJectionapie than 1t was in it's original form
 Again today the possibilities or veto ran through Senate cebate. Senator McCumber. republican, North Dakota, in charge of the measure contended that as reported the pro posed Legislation met the objections heretofore expressed publicly by the President. He added however, that he did not know w nat new objections might present themselves,

STRIKE MEASURES RUN INTO STORM;
 ACTION DELAYED
All Amendments Rejected by House-Winslow Says Bill Will Go Through
 Unchanged
By Associated Press

Washington, August 30.--After rejecting all amendments to the ad- ministration coal distribution bill, the House ran into an unexpected storm of talk today and was forced to quit until tomorrow without reaching a vote.
 Every change proposed was either thrown out son a point of order or decssiyely defeated. At the end of the days wrangle. Chairman Win slox O. the ipterstate commerec committee. who was in charge of the measure predicted It would so through as framed.
 As the House worked on the meas ure which its supporters claimed was all the Legislation needed to meet the emergency caused by the coal and that attempts to settle the anthra- cite strike might succeed and that the Senate was ready to take up House coal bills as soon as 1t was through Wltn NIIt
 President Harding's original sug- gestion for creation of buying ana selling coal agency was put before the House by Representative Ander- son, republican, Minnesota. with . provision indirectly authorizing seiz- ure of mines if found necessary in connection with agency activities but 1t went out on point of order. Ad- vised that an amendment authorizing the President to take over railroads in the event 1t was necessary you'd go out in the same swift fashion, members favoring such legislation announced that nothing was to be gained by courtinB certain rejection.
 Rayburn Attacks.
 The principal attack on the bill today was by Representative Ray burn, Texas, democratic member of the committee which framed 1t. while Representative Barkley democrat Kentucky, and Representative Ora. ham, republican,, Illinois, also mem bers of the committee, supported the measure. Mir. Rayburn insisted that it would have the effect of curtailing production. while Mir. Barkley and Mir. Graham declared grave emer- gency existed and that Congress ought to meet it without thought of partisanship.
 Closing the debate, Chairman Win slow informed the House that in the presence of his committee he had talked over the telephone this morn- ing with the President and that tho President was heartily In favor of tho bill, believing 1t would enable the government to handle the most fla grant cases through, its operation"

What do managers of the republi- can party think will happen at the northern elections If they let the coal and railroad strikes drift along?"
 Do they doubt that the vote cast will wake them up and set them trying to save themselves for 19247
 Why don't they do something now? It Is just as easy as to wait. Cor poration gentlemen, with strings on the administration. will hold those strings just as tight month hence as they do today.
