WASHINGTON, D. C, June' 13.
Senate republican leaders who are
opposed to the plan of Chairman Mo
Cumber of the finance committee to
sidetrack the tariff bill for the Sol
diers' bonus have the. support of
President Harding. The executive,
it was stated officially today at the
White House, regards tariff legisla
tion as most important and' worthy
of the undivided attention of the
senate.
Plans for consideration of' the
bonus still are very indefinite, but
they may take shape here after the
return here tomorrow of Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, the repub
lican leader, who has been cam
paigning in his home state.
Some leaders desire that a party
conference pass upon the question
of the right of way as between the
two bills, but should such a confer
ence be called. Senator McCumber
and other proponents of the bonus
are expected to make a fight against
delaying senate action on that meas
ure until the tariff bill has been dis
posed of.
Date Is Undecided.
Senator McCurriber has given no
tice that he will call up the- bill
In the near future. He has not yet
.fixed upon a definite date.
Some leaders said today there was
probability that the bill would be
called up the latter part of next
week or early In the week following
unless an agreement was reached. in
party conference to defer action.
Meantime subsequent proposals
for the amended house bonus bill are
being put forward. The latest was
offered today by Senator McCum
ber's colleague, Senator Ladd, re
publican, of Nortb. Dakota.
It would provide for a cash bonus
to the eoldiers, to be paid by the is
sue of $2,500,000,000 or less of legal
tender treasury notes to be retired
over a period of 25 years out of pro
ceeds from special taxes on banks
and interest received from foreign
indebtedness.
Senator Ladd's plan contemplates
a tax on all banking institutions
having a capital stock of $100,001),
or more, equal to BO per cent of the
profits in. excess of 12 per cent and
all other taxes. Should these taxes
and the Interest on the foreign debt
be insufficient to pay the annual
refunding installments on the legal
tender issued to the veterans, the
deficiency would be made up out ot
the federal treasury.
Statement la Made.
Explaining his amendment. Sen
ator Ladd said in a formal state
ment that few would contend that
in the light of present economic con
ditions banks should make a profit
greater than 12 par cent. He
argued that this plan would cause
no inflation of credits, and con
tended that In this manner tha sol
diers could he paid with little x
pease to the 'governirlent. Charac
terizing the certificate plan of the
McCumber bill as little more than, a
"bread bill," for the veterans, Sen
ator Ladd said they had "asked for
meat and have been, given, a stone."
The bonus got into senate discus
sion today, Senator JCendrick, dem
ocrat, Wyoming, delivering & pre
pared address in favor of compen
sation and urging that the Smith
McN'ary reclamation bill be attached
to the bonus measure as a land set
tlement option.
Senator Kendrlck argued that the
land settlement plsfn outlined in the
houae bon.ua bill and discarded by
the senate committee would not
meet the situation and would be
lacking in both Immediate and last
ing results. He contended that thou
sands of soldiers who otherwise
would aocept the adjusted service
certificate plan would accept land
settlement if given auch, assurances
of protection as he said were
afforded in the proposed reclama
tion measure.
The Wyoming senatof deolared the
nation owed adjusted compensation
to the world war veterans as a mat
ter of Justice. He added that his
convictions were "not recent or pre
election," but were formed when he
visted the battle, line in France in
the war. ' v.
War Profit Cited.
Calling attention that Congress
had paid (3,000,000.000 to war con
tractors and $2,000,000,000 to the
railroads, he asketl if it was to be
said that congress, in the light of
this, was to fall to compensate the
men wbe offered to sacrifice their
lives for lelr country. He charged
that among the most vigorous od
ponents of the bonus were some of
those who made great profits dur
ing tne war.

WASHINGTON, D. C, June 13.
Attack on the shipping board for
permitting the sale of liquor on
American ships ' was made In the
house today by Representative Gal
Ivan, democrat, Massachusetts.
Holding' up what- he said was a
wine list from the steamship Presi
dent Pierce, paid for, he added, by
federal appropriation, Mr. Gailivan
declared , that . under the . Volstead
law, "we cannot get druoK on land,
but we can at sea,"
There was a roar from members
as the Massachusetts representative
read from the- list to show that
American rye whisky could be
bought aboard ship at 20 cents a
dririk "and Jamaica rum think of
it for two bits,"
Officials of the shipping board,
nrhnn their attention was called to
Mr. Galilvan's charges, declined to
comment upon, them in any way at
this time.
Declaring- that the toiling millions
were deprived 'oNle comforts of
life," Mr. Gailivan charged that the
wealthy still laughed at the Volstead
law and the "rich and leisurely tour
ist flnds it a -legation" and a farce

was condemned by a resolution
adopted unanimously today by the
American, Federation of Labor as
inimical to public interest, and
destructive of the nation's hope for
sea power.
The ship subsidy bill was defined
by the resolution as a measure of
"patronage for political purposes,"
and its enactment, it was asserted,
would wake "politics the prime
factor in the management of ships."'
Mr. Furuseth was the only
speaker on the resolution. -
He declared that only the influ

I thought it was a well-known
fact that the shipping board steanf
ships serve liquor," said Frank V.
Harcomb, Philadelphia manager Of

have no - folders or other reading

sold, because I believe such advertising-
is against the law, but the
fact remains."

KILAUEA VOLCANO DEAD
Famous Hawaiian Fire Pit Bar

HONOLULU, T- H., June 3. (Spe
cial correspondence.) Kilauea Is
dead. The famous active volcano of
Hawaii has an empty fire pit, tha
molten lava lake having been
drained into ancient craters in the
Puna district.
The marked recession of lava, due
every four years- and predicted for
April of this year by Professor Jag
gar, seems to have materialized be
yond expectations and made up for
its tardiness by the magnitude of
commerce, the employers' associa
tions, the open-shoppers and the
capitalists to make such a clean
report."
"Taking account of the spirit of
our movement," Mr. Gompers aald,
"our strength is greater than ever,
for there is today In our ranks a
militant spirit and a solidarity and
unity never equalled. American
labor has lost nothing, in spite of
every effort our enemies could bring
to bear."
Fraternal delegates from Great
Britain and Canada also delivered
their greetings. H. H. Smith and
K. T. Peulton presented the greet
ings from the British trades union
congress, and Ernest Robinson pre
sented those from the Canadian
trades and labor congress. Mr.
Robinson urged that -labor take
more part in politics, saying that
organisations of capitalists had
found this profitable.
"Victories of . ours," he said, "are
sometimes taken from us because
we do not control the reigns of
government"
With the greetings of the frater
nal delegates concluded, the conven
tion adjourned until Wednesday.
On motion of Andrew Furuaeth,
