" While the bill will pass the Senate by a large majority, the opponents of the bill said last night that if the President vetoes the measure, as he is expected to dob. it will not become a faw. They said that more than one- third of the senators would vote not to override the presidential veto, and as it requires a two-thirds vote to pass a bill, notwithstanding the veto of the President, the bill would finally fail.

FORD TO DROP 105,000 'BECAUSE OF COAL STRIKE (Continued from First Page.) we have seen a situation approaching that ‘we feared woluld force us to close. We gréatly regret having to take that step. Edsel (Edsel B. Ford, president of the Ford Motor Com- pany) and I returned from our east- ern trip and, night before last, with all possible data and information bear- ing on the subject before us, was tsrove until abmost daylight trying to find some way out without closing down. “Every way we turned we were confronted by the situation under- the present handling of coal there never would be a time when we would have enough coal to oper- ate the several departments of the plant simultaneously.

Samieer e Fellw Vele: left to keep our furnaces and ovens " Senators Underwood, democrat, | garm, 3 Alabama, and Borah, republican.| wQur reserve stock by that time Idaho, said they would offer no ob- jection to speedy action. Senator Underwood gave formal notice thatj his fight would be against passage of the measure over President Harding's veto in the event that it was returned io Congress with executive dlsap- proval. By common understanding the Sen- ste did not undertake yesterday .to bring to a vote any of the several amendments thus far offered. Senator McNary. republican, Oregon, present- ed his amendment. proposing the reclamation bill as a part of the bonus, with preference given veterans in reclamation work and financial as- sistance for them in developing home- steads on the Teclaimed lands. In promising his support to any bill that would give the former service men the justice to which he belleved they were entitled, Senator Ashurst, democrat, Arizona, told the Senate it would be forced to decide among other things whether it would listen to “the cry of commercialisation of patriotism” when it had not done that at the end of the war. s Business Claims Allowed. Congress, he sald, had proceeded to vote, and had made no apology for doing- it, to pay shipping claims, claims_ of munitions makers and claims’f the makers of uniforms and other equipment for the service men. It had done so, he said, on the state- ment that those contractors would have made profit had the war not ended. There was no cry of commer- claization of patriotism then, he sald. Tt was called “business.” “But those were inanimate objects,” he went on. “Those claims must be tmét and met promptly, but the sol- Qier, the man who fired the shots, must wait. It is commercialization of patriotism when his compensation is to be adjusted. The Arizona semator said he must emind the Senate that the original mand for the bonus came not from e former service men but from men and women, who believed that the service men were entitled to it. - Also supporting the bill, Senator Ransdell, democrat, Louisiana, told the Senate that if Congress wished to settle its obligations to che vet- erans it could find means to do so, and that if it did not there were “a thousand excuses to hide behind.” Plenty of Money for War. 2. “It. seems -strange to me,” he said, “that as long as the war was on.there was no end to the amount of money the United States could raise to.foot fts bills, But now when, victory is .jgon and the national atcnrny as- $ured we suddenly become too poor 1o adjust the soldiers’ salaries on an In the meantime, however, our government has seen fit to repeal the excess-profits tax iwhich ylelded about $615,000,000 a Fear = The Louisiana senator argued that ’hrou[h the “dauntless courage and indomitable spirit”.of the soldiers the war had been ended seyeral years be- fore any one had dared to hope it Wwould be and that this.speedy end had saved the nation many billions *gnore than the bonus would cost it. “The shameful conduct of the gov- ernment toward its soldiers since the nlr." Senator Ransdell continued, tands out In bold contrast when compared with the treatment of other soldiers at the hands of their coun-| tries.” z Walsh Has Amendments. - | Senator Walsh of Massachusetts, #emocrai, offered two amendments for consideration later. . Oné“of them Rroposed that the certificate plan be liminated and the former. service en be paid a cash bonus. = Senator Walsh contended this would result fn a total’ cost to the government of zpproximately 1,500,000,000 as com- parcd to between $5,000,000,000 and #7,000,000,000 if the certificate- plan of deferred psyments is adhered to. His second amendment would au- thorize -the * former service men to #pply the bonus money on. the pre- miums on their government life in- rance as the premiums fall due. E‘c contended that many of the men re having a time ‘to keep up the payments on this government in- surance and that it would be a dis- Xinct benefit to them to able to Bave the bonus money gpplied on their insurgnce. s b = $SHOTS GREET DRY AGENTS !‘ynnhlnm Bacape, ‘Leaving Fif- : ty-Gallon Still and Liquor. i Three or four faintly heard revolver shots, a fifty-gallon still and a gallon of :lqnor gre an explori; ia ?:lynm;a§ u?a. to” wi om |copal Church, hss accepted a call to d |tton he taught will have been completely exhausted. We, therefore, will close down the entire plant on September 16. “Last_night we wired 900 houses that supply us with material to stop shipment and this morning lettérs and telegrams were sent out to about 1,000 more. We appreciate the great loss it will mean to these hundreds of sup- ply houses, but it also will mean a tremendous loss to us. At present we are producing 5.200 cars a day and we can sell 5300 a day. We have to close down at a time when wo are doing a greater business than ever before In our history.” Effect of the Ford shut down will be felt on industry in every part of the country, according to officials of the company. The number of work- ers employed by firms supplying the Ford company with various parts and raw materlals, including iron and steel, was varlously estimated at from “several hundred thousand to three million.” Closed Two Years Ago. The Ford plants in Detroit's sub- urbs were closed for a number of weeks during the Industrial depres- sion nearly two years ago. Mr. Ford ‘was one of the first manufacturers to shut down at that time, declaring economic conditions forbade contin- uance of operations. He was the first Detroit automobile manufacturer to resume, however. He reopened with a comparatively small number of workmen, adding to them rapidly. For a time he placed the men on a three- day-a-week basis in order that suffer- ing might be relieved among his em- ployes. Later, as conditions improved, ithe employment figures rose to the height attained during the “peak period” days following the wai At present, it is sald, the company is manufacturing automobiles and trac- tors at a greater rate than ever before in its history. Announcement of the closing came jas a distinct shock to the people of Detroit. Announcement was made recently that Mr. Ford had installed ofl-burning furnaces at one of his plants as an experiment. and the hope was held by many workmen that the Ford company could weather the coal shortage. It developed today, how- ever, that only the furnaces in the machine shops had been converted into oil burners. ‘The Ford plants, in the aggregate, {constitute Michigan's greatest indus- try from the standpoint of employ- ment, and as such are among the largest in the country. Business men and manufacturers here were unani- mous that the closing of these plants might_have far-reaching effects on the national economic situation. Blames Big Interests. Industry the country over “must throw up its hands in surrender” within a few weeks, if the rall and coal strikes continue, Hemry Ford declared today. Mr. Ford held financial interests re- sponsible for the industrial tle-up, declaring the “money barons” were manipulating the labor unions, and i that public officials, state and na- { tional, were impotent in the crisis. | The strikes would end, he con- [ tinued “when the majority of the people are cold and hungry enough to resort to drastic action.” “Continuance of these disturb- ances to the economic life of the na- { tion 1s" due_simply to the greed and avarice of Wall street,” Ford assert- ed, adding that these intereat: lom. inated the railroads, coal mines and public utilities of the country.” The deadlock in the strike negotia- tions indicated, he declared, the ex istence of “a plot to unload the d moraliked and rundown rallroads onto’ the government at their own priee and to mulct the people through I excessive prices.” |CHASE RUM CAR 5 MILES.

IN DUBLIN STREETS Armed Irregulars Also Keep on Robbing, Looting and Terrorizing Country. CABLE STATION RETAKEN Grief Over Collins’ Death Greatest in Recent Irish History. Mourning Universal. By the Associated Press. .DUBLIN, August 26.-Guerrilla war- fare of Irish irregulars and of the criminal element posing as part of the republican army continues to re- duce Ireland to a state of terror. The Dublin newspapers today are filled with incidents indicating the persistence of sporadic attacks in Dublin streets and elsewhere, photographs showing cases of pillage and the burning of buildings through- out the country, which the news- papers describe as “wanton.” An automobile ‘carrying an officer of the national army was bombed on the chief Dublin thoroughfare last nighi, bUl L6 Ollc Wds WolliGeu.

The grief over the death of Arthur Griffith- was appealing, but the so) lins appears cverwhelming. Probably has been nothing like it-in recent history; the windows in prac- tically every business establishment throughout Ireland have been shut- tered, and the blinds are drawn in all of almost all condolence provinces and foreign lands. A from secmingly unending walted to enter the {morning to view the body; black cur- | city hall this t@ins hung from the doors, and be- neath the colored dome, where the body lay in state, the plinths of the | statues of other great Irishmen long since departed were shrouded with black. The coffin reposed on a catafalque in a railed-off circular space, sur- rounded with wreaths, many of which bore inscriptions in the Irish lun- guage. Hundreds of those who waited for hours were turned away in the morning, but they came back for the afternoon ceremony. Cable Station Recaptured. Confirmation of the reported re- covery by Free State troops of the Waterville cable station, recently seized by irregulars, was given by the provisional government today. This removes the obstacle to the Commercial Cable Company’s communi- cation with the United States. No details are available of how the recovery was effected. Officials said they knew nothing about the sta- tion at Valentia, but expressed the opinion that since it was 80 near Waterville it would soon be re- turned to governmental control. The Herald today published a letter stating that Eamonn De Valera did mpt and could not withdraw any of the moncys from the banks in New York now restrained by the injunction granted by a New York court from releasing any funds on de- | posit for the Irish republican cause. No Money Withdrawn. The letter stated that none of the money collected for the Irish re- public could be withdrawn without the unanimous consent of the three trustees. As result of this, the let- ter declared, the signatures of De Valera, Bishop Fogarty and Stephen O'Mara, the trustees, were necessary before any funds could be withdxawn. The letter was written to the editor ! of the Herald and was signed by Mrs. Mary McWhorter, president of | the Celtic Cross Assoclation; Adella Christy, national vice president of that association in the United States; Edward J. Hearty, vice president of the American Assocliation for the Recognition of the Irish Republiz, and Joseph Doran, state treasurer of the latter association in Illinois. The following message was pub- lished by the newspapers today from Archbishop Curley of Baltimure, who is visiting Athlone, his birthnlace: “From one end of America to the other the death of Michael Collins will send a thrill of horror. He was known and toved by all liberty-loving people and by all who admire cou: age. “The Irish people in America would prefer tp have seen him dis by a bullet of English soldiers to hearing of him being slaughtered in County Cork by brother Irishmen.” _— SERIOUSLY STABBED IN FIVE-SIDED FIGHT Robert Boyle in Hospital, While Police Hold Wilson Hoart and Quiz Three Others. Robert Boyle, twenty-six, of 2148 Pennsylvania avenye is at the Emer- gency Hospital, suffering from the ef- fects of a stab wound _which just missed his heart, sustained in .an altercation in the lower hall of that address early this morning, in which police declared. five persons took part. Wilson Hoart, twenty-four, was arrested and is being held by police at the third precinct on the charge of assault. Police believe that a knife was used. Three other persons, all living at the same address, were questioned by the police in connection with the stabbing, but were not arrested. Pre- cinct Detectives Tally and Marphy in- vestigated the case. According to their report an altercation succeeded an argument in the hallway, resulting in the stabbing. - WOULD HONOR McKINLEY.

Ty the United | Btates engheer in cha 0? the con- struction of the bridge, is preparing plans for the extension of the line of the Capital Traction Company across the bridge, with a loop near Canal street, at the southern end of the government reservation at Ross- lyn. These plans involve ths closest possible connection with the exist- ing terminal of the Washington-Vir- ginla road, on the east side of the reservation, and with the new termi nal of the Washington and Old Do- minion road, nearly opposite cn the west side. After full consideration of all interests involved, including those of the residents of nearby towna in Virginla and of the District of Co-, lumbia, the railroad companies, and the government itself, it has been | practically settled that the Capital | Traction Company will not extend its | dine. beyond the limits of the United!

Tunnels Are Considered. A system of tunnels to avoid the grade’ crossing in reaching the Vir- ginia terminals is not considered practical in view of the slight differ- ences in grade.

When the bobbed halr epidemic threatened to spread among the { nurses at Garfield recently preventive i measures were taken at once.

Word flew from wird to ward and back again at Garfield. It reached the superintendent's office. The bobbed- halred nurses were called to judgment with the result related above. ! This brought up- an interesting question. The reporter made some fn- quiries among the hospitals. “Certalnly we do not approve of bobbed hair,” declared an official of Columbia Hospital. “There are a few girls who came in here with short hair, but they are letting it grow..” .Bobbed-Hair Nurse Taboo | ’Cause Hospital Is Serious!

Rafirond Question Up. The railroad question is also delay- ing the completion of the Georgetown proach to the new bridge. The: original plans contemplated that the | District entrance to the bridge should | be opposite the foot of 34th street. That involved curving the George- | town approach of the bridge from a point near 35th street, the real axis of the structure. The curve was pro- pofed mainly because of the higher xTade of M street at that point. The Capital Traction Company, however, considers that a better point to curve | its tracke on M street to and from the | bridge, than will be afforded at 34th street. Whether its application to that end can be granted without in- terference with the general plans for | the bridge or detriment to the inter- ests of the traveling public is now under the joint consideration of Maj. | Tyler and "the District Commission- | ers, the latter agting in their ca- pacity as the Public Utilities Com- | mission. 1 Opening May Be Delayed.

He was per- mitted to stay. “Re-establishment of the economie state of affairs throughout Russfa makes it absolutely necessary to {stamp out any undergraund or coun- | ter-revolutionary activity againstthe soviet regime which is carried on by certain intellectuals in universi- ties and organizations of profes- sional men,” M. Kurski said.

A steady upward trend in move- ment of coal from the mines of the nation is shown in the latest reports on coal loadings made public yester- day by the Geological Survey. While ilnlc"ng! on Thursday, the last report- ed day, totaled 18,748 cars, this figure, government officials estimated, would be exceeded this week with reopen- ing of mines in Pennsylvania and the west and southwest. ~On Monday of last week 19,043 ca¥® were loaded, the | largest total for any day since the beginning of the nation-wide mine strike. Loadings dropped to 17,772 cars on Tuesday, but rose to 15.189 Wednesday and to 18.748 Thursday, with larger increased predicted for Friday and the half-day Saturday. The increase in production this week is chiefly in central Pennsylvania, ‘western Pennsylvania, the Panhandie and Fairmont districts of West Vir- ginia and Ohlo, in which districts, collectively, the daily production rate exceeds by 156,000 tons, or 130 per cent, that of the week previous. In western Kentucky there has been marked recovery and production {s now at the same rate as in June, the Geological Survey reported. In’ the coal flelds of the transmississippi states and the far western states there was reported continued but increase in.production.

Strike Moves in House. Except for the presentation of a separate coal commission bill by Rep- resentative Dickinson, republican, Towa, and a resolution for conserva. |tion of coal stocks by Representa- tive Brennan, republican, Michigan, the only attention given the strike situation by the House centered the interstate commerce where Chairman Winslow discussed at length with his colleagues - the provisions of his commission and priority bill. “The purpose of this proposed leg- islation,” “saild Mr. Winslow in his statement last night explaining his position with regard to the adminis- tration’s legislative request apprise everybody and agencles directly participating ih the mining, transportation, selling and distribution_ of coal and other fuel that the administration and the Con- gress of the United States are alive to_the existence of an extreme cmer- gency and intend to begin a program of defense and offense which will pu all elements contributing to the situs. tion under control and just’ where they belong, with the goverament on top and the righteous deserts of the people properly established and ia op- eration. 2 “I believe-this bill will sufficiently sound the alarm and that the evil- doers will take notice and eitner get in line or be promptly brought up standing through government power and action.
