dlers In lieu of land, as proposed In
the Mondell-Lane bill, are meeting
Berlous opposition within their own
ranks. Chairman Piatt of the
Banking' and Currency Committee told
the Hou today a bonus would be too
extensive and Involved another big
bond issue, increasing the rate of tax
ation. "There would be further, inevitable
inflation of credit and currency," he
" Id, "and, instead of reducing the

ado some start, w should start

"For my part I do not believe any
considerable number of returned sol

a great many of them do understand
It, because comparatively few hava
been influenced by the propaganda
which has been so persistently car

are advocating this so-called bonus.
"I am sure that they do not want
any effort made to measure the value
of their service to the country in
dollars or cents, or have anything
done, that Willi Injure the country or

The American Red Cross conducts Its recreational work in hospitals
through trained men and women, introducing a multitude of recreations suited
to the handicaps of the men. The accompanying view of a hospital ward
shows in operation a moving picture projecting machine, developed by a Red
Cross recreational director, which throws the pictures on the wall so that
the men do not have to stir from their cots.

New York, Oct. 3. To show sym
pathy with members of the seceding"
pressmen's uinona that aro harred
from employment in union book and
joto offices, 747 members of 'Bigr Six"
Typographical Union quit work in 12
oflices yesterday. Officially they are
"on vacation' and not on strike.
Members of the Printers' Leagues
employers who are working- with the
international printing trades unions
for the suppression of the radical
leadership in the printing trades, said
last night that for the present no at
tempt would be made to fill the places
left vacant by the "vacationists." Un
til the press rooms resume operations
with union men in good standing there
will, it was explained, be little real
need for compositors.
Leon H. Iiouse and his associates
on the scale committee of "Big Six"
will meet the employers' committee
this afternoon. Rouse let it be
known yesterday that he would make
another attempt to have the ban on
the secession unions, led by James J.
Kagley and Bernard Nolan, lifted.
Members of the employers' commit
tee said there was not the slightest
chance of this being done, or of
House obtaining any better terms fur
the printers than have been offereu
- an immediate increase of $6 a weel;
to $42, with an agreement to confer
on all other questions, and provid
ing for adjustments of wages from
time to time, or to arbitrate every
thing in issue.
Many of the radicals who quit
work during the day met m the after
noon in a room adjacent to Rouse's
office. There copies of letters pur
porting to pledge the support of the
Chicago Typographical Union to the
radicals were given out. A pamphlet
reciting how Denver printers won
shorter hours by taking "vacations"
was also circulated.
The offices out of which the com
positors walked yesterday were:
Fleming & Reavley, the Atlas Press,
McGraw-Phillips Printing Company
and the Isaac Goldman Company, job
printers; the Charles Francis Press,
printers of the Smart Set, Review of
Reviews, Printers Ink and other peri
odicals; the Charles Schweinler Press,
printers of Hearst's Magazine, the.
Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping
and Leslies; the "vVynkoop-Hallen-beck-Crawford
Company, printers of
the American Legion "Weekly; the
Federal Printing Company, printers
of the Iron Age, the Dry Goods Econ
omist; Eliert Printing Company;
printers of the Independent and the
Medical Courier; "Williams Printing
Company, printers of the Metropoli
tan Magazine, and S. L. Parsons &
Co., and the Berkeley Press, general
printers.
Not all the printers in these offices
quit, insisting on remaining at work
until ordered to quit by the union.
In the majority of cases, however,
the radicals succeeded in forcing all
hands to quit.

Atlantic City, N. J., Oct 3 The
Baptist church is composed of many
"independent democracies," and for
that reason cannot become a party to
an organic union of the churches of
Christ in the United States. This
answer was sent to representatives i
of 18 denominations who yesterday j
mapped out a tentative program for
the union.
The conference was presided over
by the Rev. William Henry Roberts
of Philadelphia, Stated Clerk of the
Presbyterian General Assembly. The
leaders said the plan of procedure is
not in shape for submission to the
denominations, but it is hoped to
complete it at a further meeting in
Philadelphia in December.
It was emphasized that the move
ment is In no sense antagonistic to
the Federal Council of Churches nor
to the Interchurch World movement.
