Over- Roosevelt's
Disapproval Expected
' - There Too, Word
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL
- WASHINGTON, Jan 24.-t-
The house thundered a 324 to (1 j
disapproval of President Roose-
elf s hand-penned yeto or the im
mediate payment bonus bill today
and rushed it to the-senate, where
an equally" hostile reception ap
parently awaited it.
Even senators who almost un
larytaglT upport the administra
tion announced they would ote
. te orerride when the yeto is
taken up on Monday. Not a sin-
' gle leader ventured to prediction
the President would be sustained, j
" Thus a final chapter in the le
gislative history of the bonss a
: congressional storm signal for
' .r early two decades; a subject for
Teto by every president since
Hardin? would be closed.
Tax Problem Eyed
But even as the house swiftly
and boisterously scuttled the veto
- disregarding the President's prin
cipal assertion that his "convic
tions' were as -impelling" as
- when he vetoed the inflationary
patman bonus bill last year, tne
nntsibiiitT of new taxes to fin
ance the baby-bond cash payment
plan took the stage. It became
a principal topic of off-the-reeord
, congressional discussion.
Mr. Roosevelt gave no inkling
of his present views on that
touehy issue in his 200-ward veto
lvessage. In fact, he said little.
In it beyond advising senators and
representatives to look up his last
disapproval of payment of the
bonus. 'But from the White
House came indications that the
chief executive intended to do
some writing tomorrow night, and
there was speculation that the
subject matter might be -on mone
tary matters
. Some congressmen said private
ly ' they believed he was almost
certain to ask tor additional taxa-tion-to
raise the payment money;
others were Just as emphatic in
declaring enactment of a tax bill
-would be out of the Question in an
election year.
Blue Ink Employed
The President's terse message,
penned In blue ink in his own
handwriting to break a precedent
of a Quarter century, sent scsaa
ennrreavmen nrrTlny frpi onn.
ies of the veto message he deliv
ered in person eight months ago
There much note was taken of
one significant paragraph, ' It
said:
' "I Invite your attention to the
feet that solely from the poin;
of view of the good credit of the
United States, the complete fati-
, vre of the congress to provide ad
ditional taxes for an additional
expenditure of this magnitude
would in itself and by Itself alone
. arrant disapproval of this meas-
. tire."
' In the senate. Chairman Harrl- '
y son (D-itiss.) of the finance com
- mlttee, who plays a keyvrole in
the bonus dramas, said flatly:
"It Is my opinion that the reto
j will not be sustained. I shall vote
to sustain the veto."

Packing Plant
Workers Idle
Negotiations, to Settle the
Issue Expected
Get Under Way
to
(Continued from page 1)
R. A. Gilmer, president of No.
280, local meat union, said that
Gross had told the men to get
their checks at noon yesterday.
He said the men went ahead and
finished the meat on which they
were working and cleaned up all
equipment before leaving their
jobs. Gilmer said the men, more
than 30 in number, were fully
paid late Friday for all work
they had done.
Xo Complaint on
Local Treatment
Hugo Nissen, secretary of the
state organization of meat work
ers, met with the local union last
night. Gilmer said Nissen was
ready to negotiate with the Val
ley Packing company today. Gil
mer said there was no complaint
among the workers regarding
working conditions. He said the
only move the union would make
today was to picket the com
pany's plant here. He said there
would be no interference or pick
eting of downtown establishments
where Valley Packing company
meat is sold.
We have contributed out of
our wages to support the men on
strikes in the east," Gilmer said.
"We cannot work against them
now by accepting meat here
which is 'unfair. "
Cross said the point at issue
was whether union men wouia
take over the management of the
company's operations. He said he
had dealt fairly with employes at
his plant. Turnover in men em
ployed has been very small. Most
of the employes of the company
have lone periods of service to
the firm.
No work i3 conducted at the
plant ordinarily either on Satur-
day or Sunday and union officials
said last night they were hopeful
that the disagreement could be
ironed ont before time for opera
tlons to resume Monday.
Cross said the action of the
workers at the plant surprised
him as he had ordered the car in
good faith and expected another
carload of meat from Morrell &
Co. to come in within a few days.
The valley Packing company
has operated steadily as a union
plant and has a working agree
ment with the local organization

Liberty league which Smith will
address In Washington, spoke be
fore the New York Bar associa
tion. Centering his attack mainly on
proposals for changes in the con
stitution to centralize administra
tive and economic powers in the
federal government, he declared
in his prepared address:
"There is cause to wonder, in
passing, whether some of the leg
islation of these last 'three years
was not enacted in the belief such
an amendment was already on the
books."
Regulation is a term behind
which every form of tyranny.
great and small, can hide itself,"
he said.
Fails to Mention
New Deal by Name
Davis spoke only in general
terms but left no room for doubt
that the present Washington ad
ministration was his target.
"Just as the obligatory force
or contracts is the prop or our
whole social order," Davis told
the bar group, "so the solemn
promise of a public officer to
keep within the law that makes
him is the cement that holds all
free government together."
'To violate this oath or treat
it lightly is surely the mortal
sin. For liberty, it has been well
said, is possible only when the
sovereign power is made to obey
the law. . . .
"And if we have lived to grieve
at the passage of not one, but a
whole series of statutes passed in
bold defiance of its (the law's)
basic principles, we have also
lived to rejoice that in the courts
of the country the law has found
its champions and defenders."
Davis said he had no re
proach" for any man advocating
constitutional amendment "who
gives his reason for saying so,'
but that "when panaceas are of
fered on the one side, only to be
answered by panegyrics on the
other, the argument lacks con
clusiveness."
"It Is all very well to say that
law is a part of the life of
people and must change with
their changing lives," he said
"that the constitution Itself is
not an iron framework, fixed and
immuable, but a plan of govern
ment subject to alteration by the
popular will that gave it birth
"But when it Is indicated for
its supposed Insufficiencies, the
bill of particulars is extremely
vague. When new patent medt
