FOUR CITIES ASK FOR C. o. P. MEET
Chicago! Des Moines, CIeve- land And San Francisco
 Present Claims
WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Four cities-Chicago, Cleveland, Des Moines and San Francisco-formally entered the lists today for the re- publican national convention of 1924 by submitting invitations to a sub committee of the republican national committee. Denver, which had been reported as a contender did not ex- tend an Invitation at this time. The full Committee will not meet until December II to make a final choice and select . date for the convention, probably early next June.
 Pledges of expenses, non -profiteer- ing hotel and restaurant charges ample auditoriums and other facil- tiles were made In behalf of all the contending cities. These and other factors. political, financial, geo. graphical and climatic. were urged for two hours before the subcom mittee, headed by David Mulvane national committeeman for Kansas MT. Mulvane announced that the sub committee was sitting as fact find ing body to summarize the various offers and present them to the full meeting without recommendation.
 The conventions have been held in Chicago five consecutive times.
 Hotel rates promise to be a large factor in the contest as a result of complaints of overcharging at the 1920 convention.
 Presidential candidates also prom ise to be another potent factor in the ultimate decision. Referring feel ingly to the late President Harding Representative Burton. heading the Cleveland delegation. said Ohio would not have a presidential can didate next year, and, therefore, se- lection of that city would provide a natural field.

GalIi-Curci Says She Was
 Treated As She Would Not Treat Cook

CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-Madame Gal1i- Curei was treated by the manage ment of the Chicago Civic Opera company In manner she would not use toward her cook, the prlma don na declared here tonight in passing through the city en route east.
 "It was like taking me by the neck" she said, illustrating with thumb and forefinger, putting me in a hole and telling me to stay there, 1 won't tolerate that"
 Not so much the fact that the com pany would not permit her to make her debut here this year in the opera she wanted angered the singer, she said, as the manner in which they 'bossed" her.
 There must be no boss in my work except the work itself she said. "Only the dictates of that should be considered. l have worked, worked hard to make name for myself, and I can't receive dtctation in that man. ner."
 The selection of the opening opera TOW Is a seconary matter, Madame Galli-Curci said. declaring that even if her request that she be permitted to open her season here In "Dinorah," and not "Lakme," as the company insisted, be granted, she would not change her decision to severe con- nections with Chicago opera after the present season.
 "The kindness would not be there" she said i've worked hard and urgrudgingly for my Chicago people. It's my favorite town. I regret more than words leaving it, but you cant do your best under such conditions
 Madame Galli-Curci arrived in the city late today from Greenbay, Wis., and left shortly after for Philadel- phia. She will return here near the close of the month in anticipation of her opening appearance Decem- Der 3, when, she said, she will at tempt to forget the present fric- tion between herself and the opera management for the sake of her Chi cago public.
 Numerous expressions of regret were made to the prima donna by music lovers of the city over her decision not to return next season, but, as Madame Galli-Curci said, Tt is much the easiest way for me to step out"

Secretary Of Treasury Says Tax Reduction Is Impossible
 If Bonus Bill Is Passed
WASHINGTON BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD Vazhinpfnu n No~ 1E

Ns
 The average member of Congress present in Washington Is apparently resentful that Andrew w. Mellon. Secretary of the Treasury, has con fronted him with a problem suffi- ciently difficult of solution to rem der sleepless every night intervening between this date and the opening of the next congressional session
 Will you have a soldiers bonus benefitting 5,0o0,0oo, not all of whom want it, or a reduction in taxation. benefiting 100000, all of whom want it?"
 That is the problem Mellon has put before Congress.
 He has added, You can't have both" and has interpolated this thought: If you select the bonus den of the 15,o00, 0,000-and many
 While MT. Mellon has been re- gsrded as the one member of the cabinet not concerned with politics, there Is little doubt but that he has played card, in some respects po- litical, and has played it at the psy- chological moment.
 He opposes a bonus for former service men who are able-bedied for economic reasons and reasons of principle. Before Issuing his state ment, he was made aware that con- gressmen, prepared to support the bonus, were numerically strong enough to enact the necessary legis- lation and preserve it against pres idential veto.
 He realized that the condition of the treasury made slight reduction in taxation possible, but would not warrant. without increasing taxation, tho payment of the bonus. So he put his scheme before the President, and the President indorsed 1t. He will support 1t publicly, 1t is said, in his message to Congress
 There are some members of Con- gress who supported the bonus bill the last session for political req sons. These same members, for po- litical reasons, will hesitate to vote in favor of bonus if successful bonus legislation would render i'm possible the relief from taxation held out by MT. Mellon.
 These members, as result, are in quandary. It is apparently true that they are prepared to question

.LABOR'S PROGRAM
 5 [ l N G PLANNED
Sixteen Railroad Bodies Con- fer On Legislative De-
 mands For 1923-N

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.--officers of the 6 standard railroad labor or ganizations continued today to dis cuss behind closed doors the political situation and the Legislative propo- sals they may make to Congress this winter. without making public any conclusions. Conferences would be continued tomorrow participants said, adding, that the results of the deliberations might be submitted to the executive bodrds of the unions represented before being announced.
 The union leaders invited to their discussions today individual members of the "progresive' and agricultural blocs in Congress. Senator LaFol- lette, republican, Wisconsin, one of those invited. however, was unable to attend because of Illness.
 One result of the congressional at tendance was the unanimous adoption by the union officers of resolution declaring adherence of the railroad organizations to their past policy of supporting progressive measures in Congress and likewise of co-operat- ing in legislative matters with farm ers' organizations. Reports of q break between the agricultural groups and the railroad labor or ganizations were denied.
