Opposition to the Bonus
Measure Is So Strong in
the House Its Friends
Fear 1t Will Not Pass
100000 Veterans viii
Probably Enlist in the
Search for Bergdoll,
Convicted Army Deserter

Opposition to bonus measure has
grown SO formidable in the House Of
representatives. that even the most
hopeful OF the proponents of add;~
.ional compensation. fostercd BY the
American Legion, are doubtful OF the
outcome.
Chairman Fordney of the House
Ways and Means Committee had an
nounced that he proposed to call =,
the bill to-day, but it is unlikely tha+
he will because of the attitude Of the
Democrats who oppose it and their Re
publican sympathizers. While the Ro-
publcans in favor of the bonus an
nounce that they will endeavor to oh.
tain its passage by suspension of the
rules, the other side contends the bonus
strength is not sufficient to give il the
legislative right OF way, and they in
tend to contest it.
In the mean time Republican leaders
have taken the only course left open to
them-the task OF whipping the "in-
surgent' members of their own party
into line. Cpon their success, it is be-
heved in Washington, depends the fate
OF the bonus measure.
