-ADERS agree CONGRESS WILL SPEED RELIEF Resentment at Criticism Not to Hinder United Party Action. r, l Krr<l,f>.Hr,,rnr,l r l Wan" WASHINGTON, May 24—Bipartisan efforts in the senate to bring about speedy action on the tax bill, government economy, and federal relief will not abate m spite of deep resentment caused by the recent criticism of congress. However, efforts for agreement on there issues decidedly were complicated by announcement from Treasury Secretary Ogden L. Mills that the administration will have a relief bill of its own introduced—in< read of accepting or further dis-cus-ing the compromise bill, framed last week by senate Democrats. The Democratic bill, to be introduced today or Wednesday, went more than half-way in accepting rebel plans announced by Hoover a lew days ago. following conferences between the President and Democratic Leader Joseph T Robinson It included Hoover's proposal that direct relief shall be administered through the reconstruction finance corporation, and also his proposal that the borrowing power of the finance corporation be vastly increased to permit it to make loans to private industry, as well as to states and cities, for construction projects. The compromise bill departed
from the Hoover program only In suggesting that government bonds to the extent of $500,000,000 be issued to care for public works, now included in the current supply bills, and some additional projects already authorized. The smoldering rage among members of congress at the abuse heaped upon them almost constantly during the winter and spring burst into flame twice Monday, first in response to the letter sent both Republican and Democratic leaders by eleven prominent officials and business men. and again during discusion of President Herbert Hoover’s letter on relief mis-directed to a Richard 8. Parker,” who apparently does not exist. The letter, it was explained, was misdirected through an error of a stenographer. When Hoover rebuked congress recently, charging partisanship and politics were holding up the balancing of the budget, the leadership of his party in the senate was silent. But when the eleven, including Governors Ritchie of Maryland, Ely of Massachusetts and Cross of Connecticut, former Governor Alfred E. Smith. Nicholas Murray Rutler. Alanson B Houghton and former Governor Frank O. Lowden, made the same charge. Republican Leader James E Watson took occasion to thank publicly the Democratic membership of the senate for its co-operation A bipartisan economy committee, composed of three Republicans and three Democrats has been at work for the last two weeks on a fiscal program for shaving the federal budget, and members of both parties are working in close harmony on the tax bill, with differences of opinion occurring strictly along economic, rather than partisan lines. Robinson pointed this out in his reply to Smith and the others, and added that nonpartisan efforts had
To Our Customers: The Indianapolis Water Company wishes to make the following statement to its customers w ith reference to the rate situation existing as a result of the temporary injunction issued Monday morning in the Marion Superior Court, Room 2. The Water Company has acted throughout this matter in behalf of w hat it believed to be the best interests of the great majority of its customers, under the existing business conditions; and the Company regrets the granting of a temporary injunction in the suit brought by apartmenthouse owners. With all deference to the Court, the Water Company does not believe that the temporary injunction should have been granted; and the Company expects to appeal from the ruling. The Superior Court has decided that until the final outcome of the Moynahan Company suit, these apartment-house owners shall not have to pay for water service the rates fixed by the Commission's order of April first, provided they give this Company a surety company bond to make good to the Company its losses through the difference in rates, should the final outcome of the suit be in favor of the Company. The plaintiffs have given such a bond, approved by the Court. Although the present temporary injunction runs only in favor of the eight plaintiffs in the Court suit, other customers in like situation will receive similar protection, w ithout bringing suit, upon giving a surety company bond. As to any such customers who do not w ish to give such a bond, we will collect meanwhile the rates now in effect, but will refund the excess to such customers if the final outcome of the suit is against the Company. The rates fixed by the Commission's Order of April first have resulted in reductions in the cost of w ater service to about 67 per cent of our customers. The Company's April revenues were 89,342 less than they would have been under the old rates. The net decrease to metered customers in April was $3,852. The city’s saving on its April fire protection hill was $5,490. The city's annual bill for public fire protection is reduced more than $65,000 (or 1 cent on the tax rate) by the new rates. Such decreases could not have been made for so many customers w ithout readjustments and resulting increases for some customers. The rates embodied in the Commission's Order of April first were not asked for or sought by the Company. They were worked out in conference with the City and the Commission, and the Company acquiesced in them on condition that the schedule as a whole would not be contested. The temporary injunction changes the situation completely, and compels its reconsideration by all concerned. INDIANAPOLIS WATER COMPANY

Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, <Dem., 111.) voiced a similar resentment. He charged that the method selected by Hoover for making his views known "has no parallel in decency or statesmanship.” Lewis pointed out that Hoover summoned Robinson to the White House and hfld discussed the relief situation with him. "If the President didn't feel the system proposed to him had merit, then was the time to say so," he declared. Robinson's original relief plan proposed an issue of government bonds, the point at which the President struck out most vigorously in opposition in his letter to "Parker." mtenrird tor President Crocker of the American Society of Civil Engineers.”

May 24.—A brisk battle, employing machine gun and nfle fire, broke out between strike sympathizers and guards early today at the Wolford Coal Company mine at Newport, near here, and lasted for nearly an hour.
