the cash bonus payment before the
house ways and means committee.

Representative Rainey Of Illinois. the
Democratic leader, who was presid-

that the demonstration was viola

The national association of manu-

also put before the committee an
emphatic protest against full cash

Emery called the new money plan
an experiment" and warned the
committee to avoid experiments, es-
pecially those condemned by histor-

There is no evidence that our DIFF
