The wonnded man is Patrolman Al

Although the killings and bombings
were in different parts of the city, po

wage award, decision handed down by
K. M. Laiidis, former Federal judge, j
ucting us arbiter in a long drawn cut
dispute between members of tin- build '
ing trades council and contractors. j
The buildings bombed were the gar

der police protection, was notified of
the, garage bombing and a few mill ,
utes later a taxi driver notitied police'
that three men were fighting with J
Clarke. Officers found him fatally !

BANKER DECLARES PASSAGE
BONUS BILL WILL TIE UP
million of dollars;jell8 dry GOODS MEN
Thos
B. McAdams, President
of American Bankers Asso-j
ciation, Warns Against Pas
sage of Bonus Bill.
(By The Associated Press.)
WHITE SCLPHI R SPRINGS. W.
Ya., Mav 10 Hundreds of millions
'of dollars needed in the usual channels
I of trade will be tied up for thrro years
; if the House Soldier Holtus bill becomes
effective, said Thomas B. McAdams,
j president of the American Bankers As
jsociation, speaking here today before
Jthe Executive Council of the Associa
tion .
The bill which has passed the House,
Mr. McAdams said, places upon the
; banks the burden of financing such
irush advances as may be received by
'the individual soldier.
"While the banks are not obligated
to discount the soldier's note secured
by this participation certificate,'' he
Isaid, "yet failure to do so will un
questionably submit the individual in
stitution to a charge of being unwilling
to cooperate with the government and
the soldier. On the other hand, if
these advances are made, many of
them will have to be carried as past
due for a period of three years, when
i the government agrees to reimburse the
banks for advances made.
; "We can not lightly consider in
creasing the debt of our people over
I live times the amount of the total in
debtedness of the government prior
j to the war," he continued, "and Con

! Mr. McAdams also outlined the wolk
which is being done by banks to pro-j

he said, consists largely of educating!
