THE BONUS
QUESTION
Republicans Are Try

Hope of Bonus Seek
ers Without Doing
Anything

Washington. Aug. 23.-The SEN
ate moved forward SO rapidly today
in its consideration of the soldiers
bonus bill that some leaders re-
garded prospects OF the measure
being passed before the end of this
week as more than a possibility.
Opponents were understood to be
disposedsto let the bill take it's
course at this time in the belief
that President Harding would veto.
Should he do SO they planned to
centre their fight against its pas
sage. over his veto.
There still was, however, no Off
c;al information before the senate
rs to the executives view other
than that contained in a letter read
10 the house last March just before
that body; passed. the bill. The
president then advised that con-
gress either find a means of fnanc-
ing the legislation or postone its
enactment and some friends Of the
bill as we'll as opponents believe he
still is of that mind.
Replying to question by Senator
Robinson Democrat OF Arkansas,
Chairman McCumber of the finance
committee told the senate today
that there was no Official tinforma-
ton as to what the president
would do. He added however, that
the changes in the bill by which
there would be no heavy draft on
the treasury fer the next year would
seem to meet every objection the
president had urged against the
original measure and that he could
see no reason why the executive
should veto the bill as now drawn.
After it got to work on the bonus
late today, the senate agreed to
AZ committee amendments to the
house bill in exactly Is minutes
and then it got ahead Of itself to
such an extent that the measure
was laid aside temporarily. With
the committee changes. cleaned up.

TARIFF BILL
Sent TO HOUSE
BY SENATE
Measure as Amended
by Senate Has Not
Yet Been Reprinted
an d Consideration
Delayed

Washington. Aug. q. - The
house got the administration tariff
bill back from the senate today,
but did not send it to conference.
This next step in the now long
drawn out journey of the measure
must await reprinting of the
amended bill which is expected
to be completed tomorrow or We'd
nesday.. The experts had hoped
to have it ready today. but they
found the senate had made SO
many and complicated changes in
the original house bill that their
task proved far more difficult than
, they had anticipated.
! When the reprint is ready Re-
publican house leaders plan to send
the measure to conference under
; special rule which may permit
of little or no discussion on the
floor. At the same time the house
conferees will be named and they
will have their first session with the
senate mana gers probably on
Thursday.
In anticipation Of action on the
tariff the house had q quorum to-
day for the first time since it re-
assembled ; last week. The an
nouncement of the senate clerk
that the measure had been passed
hy the senate and conference re-
auested was greeted with mingled
applause and laughter. AS the
measure was not laid before the
house that body went ahead with
other work. but the tariff formed
the chief topic OF private discus
sion on the floor and in the cloak
rooms.
Some, Of, the senate rates, princi-
paliy those in the cutlery schedule,
apparently are opposed by NUM-
her. OF house members and these,
along with american valuation and
the duties on dyes. are expected to
furnish subjects Of sharp contro-
Eversy it conferences. Some leaders
sef the Republican agricultural bloc
in the house expected approval OF
the agricultural. sugar and WOOL
rates as fixed by the senate.
1t was the judgment of a major
ity of the conferees that the Amer
lean valuation question would be
the first subject coming up for set
tlement in the conference.
The four Democratic eonferees
probably will not sit constantly
with the six Republican members.
some of whom favored calling in
the Democrats after the work OF
adjustment had been completeS
and the hill whipped into shaps
for final action by the senate and
house. Others of the majority
thought, however. that the Demo-
Gratis should be in attendance af-
ter the valuation question had
been settled and program Of pro-
cedure mapped out.
1t was explained by some Of the
majority conferees that it was not
customary TO haze the Democrats
present throughout the adjustment
work.
