HOUSTON THROWS WRENCH INTO
MACHINERY FOR SOLDIER BONUS;
. SAYS NATION CANNOT AFFORD IT
WASHINGTON. Dec. 23. Market
prices of Liberty bond and other gov.
ernment securities were said in a
statement today by Secretary Houston
to be suffering as a result ofi the con
tinued discussion of the soldiers' bonus
and the various legislative measures
for, the relief of the farmers, such as
the revival of the war finance corpor
ation. Hnactment into law of either of
these propositions, the treasury secre
tary declared, would necessitate flota
tion by the government of a loan
which would add to the amount of
government securities now outstand
ing and cause consequent reaction in
the market for government bonds.
Necessity of a bond issue to finance
a soldiers' bonus. Houston said, is
readily understood, but it would be
equally necessary for the government
to borrow in order to enable the war
finance corporation to function. The
conoration. he said, has about $370,
OOu.OOO in book credits against the
treasury, but to resume its activities
it would jjave either to issue bonds of
its own to obtain funds or call upon
the treasury for its balance, in which
case the treasury would be foroet to
issue certificates of indebtedness in
order to raise the money.
posed to the various proposals for ex
tending credit to foreign nations on
the basis of government funds, the ad
ministration having decided there
should be an end to. foreign loans.
Discussing a sales tax to provide
government, revenues, a subject now
under consideration by the house ways
and means committee, the secretary
declared himself opposed to a general
sale stax on the ground that it was
contrary to the theory of progressive
taxation. He added, however, that he
favored a selected sales tax, applicable
to certain clasess for articles not
necessaries of life wnich he said,
would keep the burden of the tax from
those unable to pay.

WASTTTNGTOT?, Dec. 23. State
railway commissions of Arkansas
and Minnesota were ordered today by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to increase fctate passenger rates and
excess baggage charges to the level
now prevailing in interstate com
merce. The commission held that
the present charges in the two states
amounted to a discrimination against
interstate traffic. Both Arkansas
and Minnesota are numbered among
the seventeen stales which refused
to grant a 20 per cent increase in
passenger fares last August to eon
form, with the increase in interstate
traffic, and the decisions today mark
-the. first action to he taRen by the
commission since hearings were
given seven states here recently. The
commission previously ruled against
the state commissions of New YorK
and Wisconsin and these cases nre:
i now being fought in the courts.
; Tne state commissions of: Arkan
1 sas and Minnesota granted ' an in-
crease, in freight rates but due to
existing state laws asserted they
j were iowerless to raise -rates on pas
! senger fares and excess baggage,
j In Minnesota the state rate for
; passenger fares was set at 2 cents
per roue iy the legislature, but tne
carriers obtained an injunction at the
end cf the federal control period,
which- prevented the state commis
sion putting pre-war rates into effect.
In Arkansas the maximum rate also
was 2 cents a mile.
The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion quoted the transportation act as
its authority to raiso rates in opposi
tion to state laws made by legisla
tures. -Changes in the Arkansas rates
must be mado by February. 1, and in
Minnesota by February 1. the. Inter
state Commerce Commission ruled.
In the Arkansas case Commis
sioner Eastman dissented but the
Minnesota decision was unanimous.
DOUGLAS. Dec 23. Trouble is
hi owing in Republican jvolitical cir
cles in Douglas and Cochise county
over federal appointments following
the inauguration of President Hard
ing. The argument that appears to
be attracting the greatest notice in
this locality is the appointment ft a
postmaster to succeed the incumbent
Clay Hankins. Charles Overlock. for
mer United States marshal under the
Taft regime, and James Logie, pub
lisher of the Douglas Dispatch, the
local Republican newspaper, are said
to he candidates for the office.
Overlock, it would appear, has the
support of a great number of the
'old guard." The "stand pat" wins
of the Republican party points out
that. Ovcilock was regular in 1912
and that his work for the party de
serfes more recognition than it .has
already had. Overlock. it will be re
membered by those who attended the
Republican convention in Tucson in
the spring of 1912. was the sergeant
at arms.
He. was accused at the time by the
Progressives, of attempting to intim
idate them in their efforts to secure
control of the convention.
Iirie. on the other hand, is not ac
credited with beine an astute politi
cian. His friends aver that he de

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 23- Declin
ing to reopen the award of the Unit
ed Slates anthracite commission, the
mine operators here today rejected i
the demands of the hard coal mine
workers for additional wage increas
es, a minimum 26-day labor rate and
the establishment of a universal
eight-hour day.
The operators, however, notified
the miners' repi esentativ. that ihey.
stood ready to adjust any "individual
cases of inequality" that, may be due
to the application of the commis
sion's award.
Mine workers' representatives told
the operators that they could not ac
cept any compromise and stood by
their original demands.
They said that the entire matter
would be placed bffore the union's
general scale committee at. a special
meeting in Hazelton next Tuesday

Former Progressives charge that
it is an effort1 of the "old guard" to
pay off old scores. The supporters
of Overlock. on the other hand, main
ttiin that is purely and simplv a mat
ter of rewarding faithful Republican
service. As to the charges that Ov
erlock has seld federal office and the
best appointment, in the state at the
lmnds of a president outside of the
judiciary., they declare his political
activities entitle him to further con
sideration. '

The miners asked general increas
es of approximately 13 per cent In
addition to the 17 per cent granted
them by the commission. This, they
contended, would give Kheni wage ad
vances equal to the 27 per cent re
cently awarded the bituninous mine
workers.
The operators in rejecting the min
ers'., proposals, declared that the
agreement with the United Mine
Wo.kers. "based on the findings of
the commission," was a "binding con .
tract" and its 'repudiation would be
a "breach of faith with the public."
which was a-party to the submission
of the award. !
"In tli judgment of the operators I
no condition has arisen since, the
awaul of the commission." added the
operators' reply, "either in general'
wage struc tures ot the country, or in
the cost of living which has produci'
ra burden upon the anthracite work
ers. On the contrary, many clasci
cf workers iu other industries lii.vc
voluntarily acceiDed a reduction in
w:'ge and the cost of living !-as
steadily declined."
Representatives of th mine work
ers issued a statement declaring th.it
the assertion ol th; operators, with
reference "to the general industrial
conditions of the country, which thc.yj
picture as being chaotic, has nodiingi
to do with and does not intelligently
answer !he just. conUntioiis of the
mine workers in regard to general j
inequalities." j
