BONUS ACTION HALTS
AWAITING PRESIDENTS
FORMAL EXPRESSION
fRv Assozia1ed Press,

WASHINGTON, Feb 15.-The en-
ate and house committees charged
with the framing of soldiers bonus
bill continued to mark time today in
their consideration of the question of
how the necessary funds should be
raised, in expectation of receiving
from President Harding a formal ex
preston of his views in the matter.
1t was believed the letter which it had
been announced at the White House
the president would send to the chair
man of the committees for this pur-
pose, would be transmitted today.
AT the White House yesterday, the
executive was represented as viewing
as impracticable the financing of the
bonus in any large sum at this time
by bond issue, while at the same
time he was said to be unalterably
opposed to the suggested eight-point
tax program or to a return to any Of
the taxes that have been repealed.
The president, it was emphasized,
has not lost sight of promises mads
by Republicans in the 1920 primaries,
but his attitude, it was added, had to
he that of finding a sane and defens-
ible condition of fulfilment of those
promises on the one hand, and having
regard for restored stability on the
other

ASK IF AMERICAN
ASSOCIATION FAVORS
irish FREE STATE
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is A tele-
gram asking Edward l.. Doheny, ma
tional president of the American asso-
citation for recognition of the Irish re-
public whether he had been correctly
quoted to the effect that he favored
the treaty establishing the Irish free
state and considered the organization
no longer needed since the reasons
for its formation no longer existed
was sent to him today by Thomas w.
Lyons, national secretary.
Mr.. Lyons explained he was seeking
verification of the published statement
so he could arrange to call a meeting
of the national executive committee to
take action on Doheny's position un-
less he as president intended to con-
vene such a session.
Mr. Lyons also asked Mr.. Doheny
whether he had been quoted correctly
as saying that neither he nor the full
executive committee had been present
Feb. 4. when members of the commit
tee adopted resolution supporting the
republic"
Not only was due notice of the
meeting and its purpose sent to you
and all other members of the national
executive committee" said the tele-
gram, but a copy of the minutes
of the meeting was sent to you show
ing that it was regularly convened
with twenty states represented. AS
you know it is generally impossible to
obtain complete attendance and the
constitution does not require it."

SHIPS threatened
IN BALTIC BY ice
tBy Associated Press)

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 15.-The Baltic
-ea has been converted into an isolat-
ted lake owing to the closing of the
Cattegat and the sound by ice.
Five steamships, including the
Thole from London with 27 passen-
gers, are held fast in dangerous po-
sition of fthe Vinga lighthouse.
The pack ice which is blockading
the Swedish Westcoast, is of enor-
nous thickness, and the wind is con-
tinuing to press the ice against the
shore, increasing the danger for the
ships caught in the pack. Two steam
ers already have foundered, their
plates being crushed in by the ice.
The crews escaped to other vessels.
The 3,600-ton Danish freighter
Tranquehar, from Galveston and Nor
folk for Copenhagen, and more than
20 other vessels are imperiled.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The navy
department is not prepared at tnis
time to say what shore stations may
be abolished or curtailed after the new
limitation : of ornaments program,
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt told the
house naval committee today
"The question as to what stations
may be maintained or curtailed is not
of direct importance in determining
the exact strength of the navy Mr..
Roosevelt explained. 1T does not bear
directly on the total enlistments.
The main question to be considered,
he declared, was the minimum person
mel required to keep the treaty navy
afioat. You must have one man
ashore for every two men afloat," he
added, land if you have 10000 men for
the fleet, you must have total en-
listed strength of 10000, a figure man,

Several Months Without
Serious Inconvenience.
STOPPAGE threatened
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. = "a ma
tional strike in the union coal fields
can be maintained in the United
States for several months without
serious inconvenience to consumers"
according to evidence by operators put
before the interstate commerce COM
mission today in the general rate
hearing now going on.
The commission, taking cognizance
of threatened stoppage of production
in the union fields on April 1. asked
J. D. A. Morrow, vice-president of the
National Coal association, for statis-
tics covering the situation.
The resulting report filed today esti
mated that non-union coal fields gave
an annual output capacity of 295, 49,
900 tons or weekly average produc-
tion of 5.676,O0O tons.
This was on the basis of conditions
in 1918, Mr.. Morrow said, adding that
alterations had increased the number
and capacity of non-union mines to
approximately 100000 tons weekly.
Present Consumption.
Consumption of bituminous coal in
the United States at present is 7,500.-
600 tons per week the report showed
with material decrease in sight after
April 1, because of warm weather.
In addition 47,000,000 tons of coal
were said to be in stock on Jan. 1,
with many consumers of coal increas-
ing their supplies. The only danger
10 consumers in the strike, he said,
would be from interruption in railroad
traffic, stopping the movement of coal
from non-union mines
