RULING ON PAY OF MINERS NEAR President May Get Commission’s Report March 10. WASHINGTON, March 2.—Decision of the bituminous coal commission in the v ;ige controversy between the operators and miners, which came to a climax last winter in the general strike Nov j, may be submitted to President Wilson March 10, it was learned here today. The commission is engaged in formulating its decision, and although differences have arisen between the members, they entertain the hope of being able to arrive at an unanimous conclusion. Chairman Henry M. Kobinson engaged in a conference last night with Secretary Tumulty at which the work of the commission is understood j to have been discussed. It bas not developed that Mr. Robinson favors a larger wage advance than the 14 per cent. Commissioners Rembrandt Peale and John P. White have both voiced the opinion that a material wage increase should be given—in Mr. Peale’s case, about 2S per cent, and in Mr. White's case about 40 per cent A general strike of all miners in the bituminous and anthracite fields April 1, in the event that a satisfactory wage advance, proportioned on the 60 per cent demand of the bituminous miners, with a six-hour day and a flve-day week is not granted, has been discussed by the officials of the United Mine Workers, it was asserted here today. The anthracite miners will meet in New York March 10 with delegates of the operators to discuss anew wage scale. Their demands are approximately the same us have been made by the bituminous miners. Soft coal producers are in Washington for the purpose of discussing the situation.

SOLDIER BONUS LIKEWISE GOES INTO CAMPAIGN Hearings Promise to less’ as Issue Comes Before Committee. WASHINGTON, March 2. —Like the treaty of Versailles, universal training, ted legislation and similar measures, the proposition to grant a bonus to all exservice men will be carried into the campaign. This opinion was expressed by congressmen here today as hearings on the proposed soldiers benefit law began before Representative Joseph W. Fordney of Michigan, chairman of the ways and means committee. The hearing itself promises to be wellnight endless. It is estimated that a hundred congressmen have offered bills on the subject and at least twenty-five of these carry elaborate plans of legislation. Chairman Fordney declared he will hear every one who desires to be heard, and as all sponsors of bills, the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Private Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Legion and other individuals and organizations undoubtedly will appear before the committee, the proceedings will necessarily be long. BOTH SIDES CHARGE OTHER DELIJpQIENT. Democrats charge the republicans with planhing to conduct the hearings in such a way that a bonus bill can not be Introduced before the Chicago convention next June, in which case, they assert, there is little likelihood of any real actlou on the measure/before December, when anew session of congress begins. Republicans deny tills charge. They say they Intend to rush the hearings as much as_they will stand, considering the complexity of the problem and the sum involved and at the earliest possible moment will report out a bill. Proposed bonuses run all the way from cash grants of SIOO to SSOO per man, payable in a lump sum, to monthly installments, land grunts, combinations of both, of financial assistance la the purchase of country or city homes. It is estimated that the cheapest bonus would cost the government more than a billion dollars, while other plans cal! for expenditures running all the way up to four billion dollars. The methods proposed for ra'slng the (•onus money are divisible into two general classes; anew bond issue or the levying of special taxes. The treas ttry watch dogs claim that anew bond Issue can not be floated at less than 5 or 6 per cent, and this would prove disastrous to outstanding Liberty and Victory bonds. They also contend thnt it would tend to increase the cost of living. Politicians here are patently afraid of the bonus legislation. They admit

Nervy? Rather! DALLAS, Tex., March 2.—Only 200 feet distant from n family sitting on the front lawn, Mrs. E. G. McKelzey w-as held up by two men here, and robbed of jewelry valued at $2,750. they are between two fires—the millions of ex-service men who want the bonus and the popular opposition to aty now or increased taxes. AMERICAN LEGION PLAN SELECTIVE. The American legion will be represented at the hearings by Franklin, D’Olier, commander, and Thomas W. Miller, chairman of the legislative committee. This organization has advocated a straight cash bonus of SSO for each month of service, else giving each soldier one of three options, land settlement, aid in the purchase of a home, country or city, or vocational education. It also favors an increase In the rate' for wounded men. Marvin Gates Sperry will appear for the Private Soldiers’ and Sailors' legion, which favors a flat bonus of SSOO to all alike. The Veterans of Foreign Wars are sponsoring a plan whereby' every soldier be granted S4O for every month , of service, with an extra SIOO for every doughboy who went over the top. A dollar a day for each day of service is favored by some of the members of the ways and means committee, coupled with the alternative offers suggested by the American legion. D’OLIER BEFORE COMMITTEE. The American legion asks for no bonus. wants no brims; it merely asks the government to assist the ex-service man in overcoming some of the financial disadvantages incidental to his military service. National Commander D'Olier today told the house ways and means committee. “A bonus soiwids too much like a gift or a present from the government,’ D’Olier continued. Four plans, from which the service men could collect, were outlined by D'Olier.
