HOPE FOR SOLDIER BONUS
EXPRESSED BY FORDNEY
Amended Bill Expected to Be Re
ported Out the Coming
Week.

Chairman Fordney OF the ways ana
means committee on his return to
Washington last night issued a state
ment in which he characterized a.
wholly unauthorized the report that
soldiers relief legislation has been
practically killed. He said he expect
ed 10 report out an amended bill this
week. His statement is as follows:
On my return here today j hear a
report current 10 the effect that the
soldiers bonus legislation has been
practically killed: that no legisla-
ton along these lines is likely at this
session of Congress.
II feel that such report is wholly
unauthorized. that there is no inten-
ton on the part of the republican
members of the ways and means COM
mittee 10, in any way. slacken their
efforts to prepare bill that will be
acceptable 10 the House. even though
the bill may be modified in some re-
SpectS.
The committee on ways and means
will meet on Monday morning next
at 10 o'clock. to take up this ques
ton and see if some notifications
cannot be agreed upon that will make
the bill acceptable to the House.
1T is my candid opinion that the
committee Will report back TO the
House an amended bill early next
week"
