Witnesses" Views Conflict
$1 a Day Plan Opposed
plat Amount of $500
for All Urged as Fair
Measure of Compensation
WASHINGTON. March 6.?Efforts of
the House Ways and Means Committee
to formulate a soldier relief program
ver? again complicated to-day bv con?
flicting views of witnesses and injection
0f the rivalries between various for?
mer soldier organizations into the
bearing.
The committee devoted much time to
listening to a controversy between S.
Lovenbein. chairman of the rank and
file association, and Marvin Gates
Sperry. national president, of the Pri?
vate Soldiers and Sailors' Legion.
L.ivenbein, answering a question of
Representative Kitchin, Democrat, of
North Carolina, concerning "phony ru?
mors" that Lovenbein was a socialist
and a communist, retorted that Sperry
"is controlled by Henry B. Martin."
Martin, who was present, told the
committee he had. no interest in the
organization Sperry represented, but
?advised him on certain economic legis?
lative measures."
S^gges.ion.s for Compensation
Lover.bein's suggestion was that
every man who had served be paid Si a
?ay.Wth a minimum of $1S0, and that
of Sperry was that a flat bonus of $500
b? granted.
Ninety per cent of the former service
men favor some plan of financial re?
lief, Richard Seely-Jones, of Washing?
ton,' D. D., editor of a service news?
paper, told the committee. He insisted
that more than SO per cent of tho<se in
rue military and naval services were
unorganized. It was difficult, he said.
to test "the p'..lse of the discharged
veterans through spokesmen of organi?
sations." Posts of the American
Leg-ion and other organizations in the
Middle West, he said, favor the pro?
posed land bills, adding that former
soldiers would bo tho last citisens to
precipitate a nancial panic if that
might be tho result of granting a
bonus.
"The feeling among ex-soldiers,"
Jones added, "is that they should get
at least an even break with those who
worked in shipyards or munition plans."
Dollar a Day Assailed
Sperry's advocacy of the granting of
a flat bonus of $500 to every one who
had served was accompanied by sharp
precipitate a financial panic of Loven
bcin, which he referred to as "a skimp?
ing dollar a day."
Discriminations in regard to periods
of service, he added, would only create
[ confusion, delays, favoritism and breed
j jealousies and bad fefelings.
The witness declared that the fund
I ing of $400,000,000 annual interest due
on foreign obligations proved that the
! government was not "weak financially
and could give financial relief to all
foYmer service men."

Are you
a "40" man?
Here is a really unique opportunity to
"stock up" on high grade balbriggan and
lisle underwear at an incomparably low
price.
The big feature?s this: The assortment
consists of fresh samples from one of the
largest and best known underwear manu?
facturers in the country and is in one size
only.
Shirts 40 Drawers 36
This enables us to offer for rapid removal
2,000 shirts and drawers at a figure that
is far below ?$$??7? usual lowest-in-the
city prices.
We believe that men who generally wear
38's and 42's should also take advantage
of this exceptional value, as it has been
our experience that men who wear these
sizes frequently purchase size 40.
Taken from our regular stock, these gar?
ments would sell anywhere from $1.49 to
$2.89 each.

Denies U. S. Grain Men
Back Boom for Hoover
Chairman of 17th District Cam*
paign Says Shattuck Is Not
in Organization
Watson W^sbburn, temporary chair?
man of the Hoover-for-PreBident cam?
paign committee in the l?th Congress
District, with headquarters in the Hotel
Manhattan, said yesterday the United
States Grain Corporation is not behind
the Hoover movement. The Tribune
yesterday printed the text of a lettet
sent to Republicans soliciting support
for Hoover among the Republican dele?
gates, some of whom interpreted it a:
a sort of threat that if the Chicago con?
vention fails to nominate Mr. Hoove,
he will go elsewhere. When the atten
tion of Mr. Washburn was called to thii
he said:
"The interest in this movement indi
cated by the insinuation that it is in
spired by the Grain Corporation i
iiorlinriH nn iininrpnt.innnl trirnit.e to t.Vii
importance it has already assumed. A
statement has been published that 'in?
fluential Republicans* are satisfied that
Edwin F. Shattuck, 26 East ?Seventy
eighth Street, is one of the organizers
of the campaign in the 17th District.
Seeing that I am one of those who
started the effort to secure Hoover
delegates in the 17th District, I state
most emphatically that Mr. Shattuck has
had nothing to do with it. i
"The campaign was started by Re?
publicans, among Republicans, who
have no other motive than their desire
to see Mr. Hoover elected on a Repub?
lican ticket."
Mr. Waahburn announced that an?
other headejuarters will be opened on
the West Side, at the Hotel Belle
Claire, Broadway and Seventy-seventh
Street. There will be a Hoover meet
ing at the Biltmore to-morrow after?
noon, at which an important announce?
ment with reference to policy will be
made.
Dinner to Bryan Called Off
The friends of Colonel William J.
Bryan, who were planning a dinner for
him in this city on March 19, received,
a telegram from Mr. Bryan yesterday
suggesting that the time is inoppor?
tune for such a dinner. Therefore the
dinner has been abandoned temporar?
ily. It la understood that the strength
of the anti-prohibition wave in the
metropolitan district had something to
do with the abandonment of the spread.

U. S. to Hunt Shoe Gougers
Retailers' Margin of Profit To
Be Scrutinized
WASHINGTON, March 5.-~The de?
partment of Justice took action to-day
to determine the margins of profit
taken by shoe retailers in this city, and
which may develop into a nation-wide
investigation.
Howard Figg, special assistant to
the Attorney General in charge of the
price reduction campaign, would not
say, however, to what extent the de?
partment planned to go in calling for
the shoe dealers' business statements.
The local dealers' committee will pre?
sent detailed figures upon which the
department will determine whether
there is profiteering, Mr. Figg said.

Chicago Promulgates Rule
for Male Employees
CHICAGO, March 6.?A book of rules
for employees of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Chicago, circulated to-day,
says: "No male ?employee receiving less
than $125 a month salary will be per?
mitted to marry while in the service of

"The sum set in the book is the

R. McKay, vice-governor of the bank,
who added that the rule was "impera?
tive."
"The bank officials believe that is
the least sum on which two may live in
these days," he said.
