was Harding's original idea that re-
ductions on specific commodities
would help the general business situ-
alton more than a general cut, but
strong opposition TO his plan was
voiced by certain railroads which de-
rive much of their revenue from the
rates he wanted reduced.
The recent rate cut was not based
on the probability OF wage cuts by
the Railroad Labor Board and It was
pointed out today that II another

such a cut to be postponed until fall.

iaw) and the restoration Of wartime

law and the restoration OF wartime
taxes seem to reflect the maximum
OF ingenuity on the part OF Demo-
cratic Senators who favor the bonus.
Most OF them frankly declare they
do not care whether President Hard
ing follows his indicated course and
vetoes the bonus bill. They would
rather have him sign 1t, because
that would give them a partisan ad-
vantage in the coming Congressional
contests-at least they think so.
Just what is going to happen to
the bonus bill after the Democrats
have helped Mr.. McCumber and his
bonus associates report II to the SEN
ate, Is a matter of speculation. Some
of the more ardent bonus supporters
who desire to negotiate a satisfac-
tory mortgage on the really lmpor-
tant soldier vote, are in favor of
switching the troublesome tariff bill
on a side track and jamming the
bonus bill through the Senate under
the process of cloture.
The Democratic Senators ravoring
the bonus may attempt to invoke
this rule but the Republican leaders
are rather skeptlcal about IT, They
have been warned by Republican
and Democratic Senators oppoaed to
the bonus that any move in this d.
rection will precpitate a protracted
flibuster and result in the wrecking
of the entire Administration pro-
gram, including the tariff. the army
and navy appropriations, the ship
subsidy and other projects which
the President desires to have en-
acted without unnecessary delay. 1t
is probable. therefore. that any |
move to invoke cloture. which would |
necessitate a majority Of two-thirds
OF the Senate, would be beaten If
put to a test.
The program favored by Mr.. Nc
Cumber and his bonus associates is
to sound Senatorial sentiment re-
garding the cloture proposition. The
certain rejection of II will then COM
pei them to hurry the tariff and
other Administration measures out
Of the way and "let nature take its
course" In the matter of the bonus.
II this plan shall finally be agreed
on, the bonus bill, for which the
Democratic Senators will share
equal responsibility, will be placed
on the calendar and may not be
reached for a month or two.
