BOSSES FORCE
 EX-SERVICE MEN
 TO OPPOSE BONUS
National Commander Tells of Hell ish Coercion B yEmployers to Defeat Bonus.

Employers of ex-service men are coercing these men to write con- gressmen and senator's in opposition to the proposed bonus. or adjusted compensation bill," said National Commander John R. Quinn in let ter this week addrssed to members of congress.
 The anti-bonus propagandists, '' said Commander Quinn, take as their slogan everything for the dis abled, nothing for the able-bodied yet not one of these has. ever ap- peared before Congress to urge pas sage of legislation for the disabled during the four year the American Legion has made the disabled mans cause it's own.
 "The organizers of the present unfair barrage of propaganda" the letter continues, fare boasting of be- ing able to, delay congressional ac- ton on the adjusted compensation bill so that their propaganda may, through it's force, cause members of Congress to desert the soldiers cause. Five years ago the American doughboy went over the top in spite of a barrage of steel falling around him. He stood his ground then and he has every confidence that Ameri- can senators and representatives will stand their ground and not de- sert him because of mere barrage of organized propaganda.
 "The adjusted compensation bill is now in the committee of the house

Ask Gov. Smith For an Inquiry Into Political Control, But 1t Is Only to Embarrass Re- forms.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. Io-Employers through the Associated Industries oi the state have demanded of Gov Smith that he sanction a Moreland act investigation of the State Labor Department
 The demand, coming from an organization of manufacturers and employers numbering 2,ooo members and representing an investment of more than $2,ooo, ,ooo, 900, charges that the Labor Department has broken down and that ''politics has so domi- noted' the department that it ''has seriously interfered with it's func- tioning"
 The requested inquiry, capital ob- servers agreed is a crafty move to embarrass Gov. Smith on the part of an organization which has fought for years the welfare program of social legislation.
 The Labor Department is the gov ernor's own pet department He has personal friend, Bernard Shentag, as commissioner in charge, and the demand for investigation is bound to bring a sharp retort from the gover- nor, it is believed.
 Summarized, the charges of the As sociated Industries are:
 There has been a serious break down in the Department of Labor, particularly i'll the administration of the Workmen's Compensation Act.
 "The state fund, we are reliably informed, in the first six months of it's Io23-24 fiscal year has increased it's expense ratio from | to more than 22 per cent With the same salary list and without a very large increase in business, the expense ratio will ex- ceed 30 per cent at the end of the fiscal year, June 30, 1924, though the expense ratio allowed by the Legisla- ture in 1923 IS 25 per cent.
 "The industrial board in our judg- ment has assumed unwarranted powers and has exceeded it's authority in the arbitrary adoption of amend ments to Rule ? of the industrial code, contrary to law as provided in section 2o of chapter 3I of the con solidated laws.
 "An investigation of the department for the purpose of determining what has been accomplished by the emer- gency and increased appropriations cannot help but show the increase has not resulted to the advantage of the people of the State of New York, and that extravaganza and ineficiency in management are building up an eventual burden for the public which the public should not be called upon to assume"

Seattle Raises
 Wages 12 l-2
 to Is Per Cent.
Increase Applies to Stevedores and Warehouse Men; Lumber
 Trade Stronger.

Seattle, Jan. 1o-An advance from I2N to Is per cent. in wages to ware housemen and steyedores employed at the public terminals was officially au- thorized by the president of the Seatt- tie Port Commission. The advance in wages is effective immediately. i 1nediately.
 The employees of the port two years ago under adverse business conditions voluntarily accepted cut in their wages. The old scale now has been restored. The increase will mean an additional operating expense to the port of Seattle of about $2,5oo a month.
 Agents for the Isthmian Argonaut and Pan-Pacihc lines were this week advised that the steamship Shenan- doah, which is now en route here from Atlantic ports would be the second vessel routed from North Pacific ports to the west coast of South America and would be here ready to load late in January or early February The Argonaut Line freighter Lancaster, which lost her propeller near the Panama Canal 10 days ago, sailed from Balboa for Puget Sound January ?.

 With $5oo,ooo.

The International Union Bank, New York labor's fourth financial in stitution, opened for business last week and at least $5oo,ooo was depo- sited immediately by the' unions which control the bank, it was an nounced by Philip R. Rodriguez, vice president and general manager Be- sides these deposits, the bank expects that several hundred thousand dollars will be deposited by union members, sympathizers, and others who find the location of the new bank at 2Ist street and Fifth avenue convenient to them.
 The organizations which control the International Union Bank are the International Ladies' Garment Work ers' Union, the International Fur Workers Union, the United Cloth Hat and Cap Makers, the Fancy Leather Goods Workers Union, and have a total membership in New York of 15o,ooo The International will deposit all its funds with the bank, it was stated, and the other owner-organizations are expected to deposit a large part if not all of their funds.
 Abraham Barof, secretary of. the Garment Workers Union, is president of the bank, and Philip Kaplowitz, cashier. MT. Rodriguez was formerly with the Mercantile Bank of the Americas, the Corn Exchange Bank, and other financial institutions
 The slogan of the bank is "The bank operated for the equal benefit of depositors and shareholders" Dividends on the stock are limited to per cent, MT. Rodriguez explained, and profits in excess of this amount will be shared by lepositors in the special interest department with the stockholders. The stock and surplus of the bank is $5oo,ooo.

LIFE

Passing throngs on either Side, The huge Mob's fckleness. Mans contrivances in the Middle, The din of Everyday.
 Into the Center strode the Man, The joy of Youth apparent. One tense moment-a shriek, The motley throng soon Forgot the
 casualty. And late into that Night, An anxious Mother waited.
 But no loving Son returned,
 That fatefu1 night of Nights. Days of Agony passed | The sad news no one dared to tell Finally an inkling of the Truth,
 The tired Mother reached Three days of Misery went by, While the Mothers strength was ebbing
 Her life Void without her Son, The death was really Blessing
 How cruel the irony of Fate, Which wreaks it's Vengeance on Men Who, Unwittingly receive their end | Through their own Inventions!
