Wor part The plan was reported to have been virtually agreed upon at conferences held yesterday. Democratic senators, however, were said to be prepared to make a fight of their own to secure precedence for the bonus measure. Chairman McCumber of the finance committee said he would withhold his proposed motion to displace the tariff by the bonus measure bill .if the Re- publican conference would definitely pledge the party to disposal of both bills before adjournment. President Harding was assured by senate Republican leaders who called at the White House today that the tariff bill would be held before the senate until passed. Senator Watson, Republican, Indiana, one of the leaders who saw the presi- dent, said he told. Mr. Harding that it had been definitely determined that the Republican conference, called for Mon- day, would vote to continue with the tariff bill and against laying aside the measure to take up bonus legislation.

PRICE FIVE CENTS INDEPENDENCE PLBA RENEWED BY FILIPINOS Delegation Tells President Hard- ing That Conditions Laid Down Are Fulfilled HARDING TO GIVE ANSWER (By the Associated Press) Washington June 17 — President Harding today received the plea of the Philippine parliamentary mission for a grant of independence to the Filipino people and promised a reply setting forth the views of the executive next ; Thursday. Establishment by Filipinos of a stable government in the Philip- {pines has fulfilled the only stipulation laid down by the United States govern- ment for granting of independence to the islands, the president was told in jthe statement presented by the Philip- | pine parliamentary missicn. The statement read by Manuel L. Quezon, president of the Philippine sen- ate, and twenty-seven other members of ithe mission, reviewed the situation of the Filipinos and reiterated their aspir- ation for “national existence.” It quot- ed former President Wilson as calling | the attention of congress, in. December, 1920, to establishment of a successful government in the Philippines and re- minding congress of the obligation to grant independence to the Filipinos. Mr. Wilson’s recommendation, the statement continued, was made after the governor general of the Philippines had officially certified that a stable govern- ment had been established. “We beg to submit,” says the state- ment, “that the same stable govern- ment exists today.” The present mission, it was pointed out, represented all the insular political parties and was sent to Washington by the Philippine legislature to ask for complete and absolute independence of the Philippines. Any danger of foreign aggression against the Philippines, which may have been feared, the president was told, has been eliminated through the actions of the Washington conference. ELECTRIC CO.

The board this week has considered business structures, will take up the assessment on lots immediately and probably will hold hearings on the personal property assessments next weck so that any per- son desiring to complain of assessment may appear. The: city ‘assessor did not reassess real estate property this year. The city commission, in order to make the re- duction of the 20 per cent horizontal increase, is réassessing each piece of property and making the reduction, A five per cent increase also probably will be lopped: off lots of value of $1,000 or more. The amount of reduction.on lots under that value is so small that it would not be.worth while to reassess each lot, it is said. Few complaints on real estate assess- ments have been made as to individual pieces of property, it is stated. Resi- dence property values probably will not be fixed until after the personal prop- erty is considered. The action of the board will leave business property and lots at the same figure as approved by the board last year, which the board is said to believe is quite high enough.

Approximately 1,200,000 railway, em- Accompanying yesterday’s order carrying reductions ranging from 2 to 6 cents an hour was a lengthy supporting opinion from the members representing the. railroads, and the public, and the dissenting opinion by the labor members condemning the order. In their rejoinder the members said: It is not incumbent upon the six members of the board concurring in this decision to follow the minority jnto a partisan controversy ;which partakes more of the characteristics of impassioned advocacy than of calm adjudication. “Insofar as the dissenting opinion distorts the sentiment of the majori- ty, misquotes their language and re- flects upon their desire and disposi- tion to do justice, we will refrain from comment. We prefer to believe that these improprieties crept into that part of the document which was drafted by the employes in the head- quarters of the railways department of the American Federation of Labor and that: they were overlooked by the dissenting members.******** Dissention ‘on Board: “There is one feature of the dis- Sept argument, however, which is Et ual that it- should not be pass- ed over without notice, and that is the portion wherein the two dissent- ing members advise’ the employes to majority strike against the decision of the board.**#*##*## 5 g “It is something new for labor members of the board to issue incen- diary arguments to employes in fav- or of striking against a decision of the board. The giving of advice of this kind has heretofore been left to out- siders, who were not under the offi- cial obligations imposed by: the trans- portation act, the main purpose of. which is to prevent railway strikes and to protect the public from their dire effects. “One of the passages referred to is as follows: ‘The transportation act, aimed to substitute for the strike such just and reasonable wages as would render resort to a strike unnecessary. If this tribunal created to determine such' wages admits that under exist- ing circumstances it cannot fulfill this function, obviously the employes must use such power as they have to influence the labor market which is henceforth to be the ' determining factor in their wages.’ “That is to say, if the board makes such admission, the employes. must strike. i Remove the “If” “Then the dissenting members pro- ceed to remove the ‘if’ and to assert that the board has made the admis- sion which renders a strike..neces- sary.*** ; “Not only do the. minority step down from’ the judicial, position which they occupy to advise: a strike, but they obviously. distort and miscon- strue, the language of the majority in order to provide the condition which they pronounce a justification. “This is not the only place in the dissenting opinion where the sugges- tion is made to the employes to strike. As a matter of fact the entire dissenting opinion constitutes a strained and exaggerated effort to inflame the employes by. the belief that they have been gwossly outraged by this decision. Defend Attitude “A fair statement of the facts will convince any disinterested man that no injustice has been done to these employes by the present decision, and that the decrease in their wage is conservative and is based upon the law and the evidence.” The minority report to which to- day’s reply was made was signed by Arthur 0. Wharton and Albert Phil- lips. The third labor member of the board, W. lL. McMenimen, was in the east on an investigation trip when the minority report was issued. CHIEFS TO MEET Cincinnati, June 17.—Chiefs of the miners and rail unions agreed here today to hold a meeting next Tuesday night to discuss joint strike action. President John L.
