minority of the republicans, the lat
ter opposing any cash bonus. The
combination planned either 70 de-
feat the rule giving the bill the right
Of way for passage or amend the
rule and leave the bill open for

cratic poll showed practically d solid
opposition 10 the republican pro
gram.

bonus republicans numbered three
