BONUS BILL WILL HAVE
HARD GOING IN SENATE
Many Friends of Measure Fear
Filbuster if it Waits on
Tariff.
BY Associated >ss to Every Evening

Washington, June 20.-Passage by
the senate OF the naval appropria-
ton bill had cleared the way today
for a final decision on the program OF
procedure with regard to the tariff
and soldiers bonus bills, with Re
publican leaders confident that the
compromise plan of the majority side
10 give priority to the tariff measure
would be adopted.
The purpose of several senators on
both the Republican and Democratic
sides. however, to move that the bonus
be taken up Immediately, made GER
tain an open fight in the Senate when
the majority seek to resume debate
on the tariff bill which was laid aside
last week for the naval bill
Adoption OF the program accepted
at conference OF majority senators
yesterday would mean that senate
action on the bonus probably would
not come before September, and some
senators favorable to the bonus fear
tlibuster If action is delayed until
disposal of the tariff measure, which
it is estimated could not be brought
to vote before August l. at the
earliest.
The majority program upon which a
decision was faced today provides that
the bonus bill shall be made the un-
finished business of the Senate after
disposal of the tariff and that both
shall be brought TO a final vote before
adjournment or any recess.
