For tbe second tiin« a bill provid-
ing for an adjustment of compensa-
tion to veteran* of the great war has
'.assert the national house of repre-
sentatives.
The truth about ihe adjusted com-
pensation bill which haa Juat paased
pro pa g a ml & o" S'SK
ho have opposed it
thousands of mnn mual bav
and cannot be interested In anv other
form of compensation. "It Is ir.ani-
festly unfair to penalize a nun
merely because he is in Immediate
ne«*d of financial aid," proponenta |
aay.
The adjusted service certificate
* rial Interests
' The veterans themselves have
1 such means to reach the public wlTh
I their atory.
,, Adjusted compensation in aoma
j form or another haa been conalderert
j by conaress since tbe summer of
, 1919. The present bill ih the out-
growth of numerous legialative sug-
, gestions and Is the result of many
I conferences and hearings It reprt
, aents the best aggregate thought on
  the subject. Briefly It provides
Adjusted pay at the rate of $1 loi
iv every day of home service, up to $500
a and $1.26 for every day of foreign
p. service up to $625. From the total Is
II hUbtracted the $60 given as a bonus
U upon demobilisation. The amount
due la known r.s tbe adjusted aerv-
n ice credit of the veteran. He can
l« apply his credit to any one of tbe
ti live following options
( ash Limit $60.
1 Cash. Thla la to be paid immedi-
ately on application but is payable
only to those veterans whose ad-
Justert service credit la $60 or less.
2. Adjuated service certificate in
the form of a paid-up 20-year endow-
ment policy, of a value of 125 per
cent of the caah allowancea. plua in-
terest at 44 per cent, compounded
annually. The veteran has the priv-
ilege of immediately borrowing 60
per cent of the face value of his cer-
tificate and larger sums at later
dates.
8. Vocational training aid at $1.76
per day while taking an edi catlonal
course. The amount thua pnld is not
to exceed 140 per cent of the adjusted
service credit
4. Farm or home aid. to the extent
of 126 per cent of the adjusted rerv-
Ice credit.
5. I-and settlement
Any man or woman la eligible to
apply for and receive compenaatlon,
who served In the armed forces of
the United States at any time he
tweer the dates of April 6. 1917. and
November 11, 1918, provided the serv-
ice was honorable.
Introduced by Fordnej.
The present bill was Introduced
into the house of representatives by
the Hon. Joseph W. Fordney of Mich-
igan and Into the senate by Senator
Porter J. McCumber of North Dakota.
It sponsors claims that it Is designed
to ho brond enough to give every
man the rort of compensation that
can be of moat value to him, and at
the same time, to be aa productive
as possible for the benefit of tho en-
tire country.
With this in mind It wus found
Impossible to leave out the caah and
borrowing feature. A good m\nv
ing. originated In the senate It i*
ch imed to be the plan that is moat j
apt to appoal to tbe averaae veteran.
Th< ex-service man la entitled, under
this option, to 126 per cent of 'tie
amount due him In cash. At the end
of 20 >ear* thia will accumulate, to-
gether with Interest, so that the ccr
tlficate will us worth slightly mor.
than three times tbe original amount
due In caah Fifty per cent of the
ti'co value can be borrowed at on< <
from banks or postofflces, with the
certificate as collateral. A' latei
dates, as the amount of the value of
the certificate increaaes. 1 a r « e r
amounts can be borrowed.
Vocational Training.
The popularity of vocational train-
ing Is Illustrated by the fact that
more than 100,000 disabled men have
so far availed themselves of the
chauce to get this training. The edu
catlonal feature of the compensa-
tion bill la expected to app«-nl to
many more thousands of veterans j
who ai« not disabled. They will be
given tuition at accredited sohooU
and will be paid $1.75 per day while
studying, until they have reached 140
per cent of their adjusted service
credit. A man who served 100 daya
In this country and 20o daya in
France and who would therefore
have $350 eomlnx to him in adjusted
service credit, could ro to school foi
L'8o days, belna paid $1 76 a day dur-
ing that porlod.
Farm or home aid also is expected
to appeal to many thousands of vet-
erans, since It gives them a chance
to aetjulio a material Interest In tho
country they holped defend. The
man who haa $350 coming to him on
a cash basis could apply $437, which
is 125 per cent of his adjusted serv-
ice credit, to the purchase or Im-
provement of an approved farm or
city or suburban home. If he really
has bought a home he can apply his
compensation ns a payment on the
total.
The fifth option gives the veteran
a chance to i.id in the development
of wasti- lands, with profit to him- I
self. Provision is made for the es-
tablishment ol reclamation projects |
to develop and improve vacant lands
which are already owned or will be
acquired by the government. So far
as possible, the projects will be lo-
cated In all atatea, the Individual
state paying part of the purchase
price of the land. Rx-servlce men will
be employed on the projects, so far
as possible and at a price that will
Include tho coat o fthe Improve-
ments. Veterans will be given pri-
ority and can apply tholr adju ted
service pay as first paymen on n
farm in such a project.

hands of the senate committee on

granting any more national charters

authorized by the Constitution.
Senators Ashurst of Arizona, and

the Nelson resolution In the judi-

They regarded It as aimed directly

Workers Struck to Live While
Protiteers Reveled in Un-
believable Wealth.
By TOM T1PPETT
Kcderntea Pr«M Correspondent.
PEORIA. 111., March 31.—In 1916
the first "between contract" Increase
was obtained for the miners and is
known In mining circles as the New
York agreement
At that time, because of tbe in-
dustrial boom created by the Eu-
ropean war, the men were leaving
the mines by thousands for other in-
dustries where higher wages were
paid. In order to hold their workers
the operators agreed to a 60-cent per
day advance to day men and 10
cents' Increase on tonnage rates, with
no increase on dead work. This ad-
vance brought the miner's wage up
to the princely sum of $3.60 per day.
During the year the war clouds
continued to gather in Europe, one
country after another had become in-
volved in the slaughter, industry In
America was booming, grinding out
munitions. Our millionaires bad
loaned most of the money to the
allies to keep up tbe show • * • but
It kept business good In America.
The cost of living had reached un-
believable heights.
Miners Henperate
The mines were now running ev-
ery day. that is. every day that th«>
broken down railroad system could
furnish cars, but tbe miners were
in terrible straits Wages at $3.60
per day and potatoes at $4 a bushel
doesn't work
Then America Joined the conflict
to make the world safe for democ-
racy, so it was said. The miners
up the war activity.
In the meantime tbe rank and file
who were doing the actual suffering,
In many places struck In protest.
The country had gone mad in a
scramble for money. Millionaires
were being made over night on war
contracts. Tho draft had drained
the land of Its man power and wages
wont up In the bid for workmen.
Threatened Deportation
When any $3.60 per day coal dig-
gers. bound by contract, protested,
they were singled out as pro-German.
Tar and feathers and yellow paint
played their part in many mining
camps. A district president of the
miners told me he had to threaten
whole camp with government de-
portation, if they did not return to
work.
And finally Washington summon-
ed the operators' and miners' rep-
resentatives to a conference in Octo-
ber. 1917, out of which came the
Washington agreement This agree-
ment. which carried with It the auto-
matic penalty clause, whs so one-
sided that It brought about the strike , ment.
to borrow their notes. I said
gentlemen; this great American peo-
ple is worth all of you put together.
1 will take the credit of the people
and cut It up in the form of little
bits of paper and we will circulate
that paper.' This Is the true Idea
of the greeenback. It Is the credit
and property of the American peo-
ple."
If durlr.,' tlu Civil War Secretary
Chase could laauo greenbacks to pay
the soldiers and to clothe them as
well as to provide military sup-
plies and in spite of war conditions
and thee united opposition of the
bankers, these greenbacks were
sought for at a premium equal to
that of gold, can the nation not do
as well today? If during the Civil
War we could pay our soldier boys
caah in them for greenbacks, then
why not pay the proposed bonus
with similar greenbacks as full legal
tender for all debts public and pri-
vate and so give them real cash
money based on the wealth of the
country" This would he without
material expense to the govarn-
ple is worth all of you put together.
I will take the credit of the people,
and cut. It up In the form of little
bits of paper and we will circulate
that paper. This la the true idea
of the greenback.'"
Will American people through
their government win as did Chase
or will the banka be more successful
this time and accomplish their pur-
pose not to permit any soldiers' ad-
justed compensation without paying
tribute to the banks In the form of
enormous Interest charges which
should be saved to the people of the
country and the coinage of money
wrested from the banks and return-
