can leaders who have conferred with
the trainers of the tariff bill have
bluntly told them the Democratic OPP
position had succeeded In creating the
impression that the tariff bill passed
by the Senate would impose irksome
burdens on the entire country and in
fiuence hundreds of thousands of
voters against the Republican party.
Republican as well as Democratic
Senators and Representatives who
vigorously opposed the rates levied by
the Senate schedules expect "a great
many notifications which will be OBJ
viously intended to relieve popular
anxiety. Whether there is actually
any basis for this belief remains to
be seen.
Information given out by the con-
ferees to date has mainly related to
comparatively unimportant changes
ordered. 1t was announced this after
noon that the conferees were ap-
preaching rhe key items. and 1t
would probably be a week before any
decision regarding the major features
of the bill could ,be reached. There
Is no question, however. that the i'm
preston now prevailing in Congress
is that the tariff bill will be put
through before and not after election
and ahead of the bonus.

CONFEREES REFUSE TO LET
BONUS SIDETRACK TARIFF

The decision not only caused great
surprise among the supporters OF the
bonus in the two houses but also con-
sternation among the politicians in the
American Legion. These men expressed
the fullest confidence that the tariff
would be set aside and the bonus come
out of the conference this afternoon or
tomorrow. When~ THE NEW YORK
HERALD Informed representatives OF
the American Legion of the decision
of the committee they expressed the
greatest astonishment and chagrin and
intimated they would read the riot act
to Mr.. F'ordney and his associates
without delay.
Protests Prove Futile.
Protests made by the Legion politi-
clans late this afternoon did not result
as they predicted. Their confidence
that "Fordney would back down" was
not verified. On the contrary, the con-
ference proceeded on the even tenor of
its way and devoted it's entire atten-
ton to the tariff without mentioning
the bonus. One of the reasons given
by a conferee for sidetracking the
bonus was that the leaders in Con-
gress believed it should not be sent
to the White House pending the set
tlement of the railway shopmens
strike which might require the Gov
ernment to resort to military force
to put an end to possible disorders
While this element in the situation
probably exercised some influence over
the decision of the conferees to set the
bonus aside. the reasons given by Mr..
Fordney were undoubtedly correct
These reasons were accepted by the
members of both houses as convinc-
ing proof of the determination of the
Republican leaders to put the tariff
bill through according to the original
schedule. Unless there is some change
in the Fordney program adopted by
the conference the tariff bill will,
therefore, be passed before the Con-
gressional elections instead of being
held in conference.
Few, if any, of the members of the
two houses believe the tariff measure
will be ready for a second look within
the next two weeks. They are quite
sure of one thing. 1t is that a drastic
revision will be made in not only tn,
fundamental and administrative fea-
lures of the tariff bill passed by the
Senate but also a scaling down OF
rates designed to dissipate the impress
sion that the Senate revenue measure
will make for an unpopular increase
in living costs to the people.
1t seems to be the purpose of Mr..
Fordney and Mr.. McCumber to meet
criticism in this respect by attempting
to remove the causes for it. Republi-

set aside the tariff. which was sup
ported by the North Dakota leader, and
Senators Simmons and Walsh (Mass.)
Democrats.
During the discussion OF the Nc
Cumber proposal. Mr.. Fordney made 1t
quite clear that his affections were
chiefly centered on the tariff and not
on the bonus. At any rate, he declared
the Republican party was pledged TO
put through a tariff measure without
unnecessary delay and intended to
stand by that pledge. While asserting
his friendship for the bonus. the Ways
and Means Chairman declared that
party interests demand that prefer
ence be given the tariff BILL
1t developed during the wrangle
over the McCumber suggestion that
President Harding and the other lead
ers of the party were of one mind re-
garding the tariff and of two minds
regarding the bonus. Mr.. Fordney
supported his position by declaring
the bonus should be used as a club
over the Senate and House to insure
the attendance of a quorum to put
through the tariff bill. He argued that
Il the bonus bill was sent to the Presi-
dent first, Senators and Representa-
tives eager to return to their homes
would remain at the Capitol only long
enough for it and would not wait for
the tariff bill.
Necessary to Party Welfare.
Mr.. Fordney, supported by Senator
Smoot and his House associates. de-
ciared that action on the tariff was
vitally necessary to the welfare of the
Republican party in the Congressional
elections He said in substance that
the leaders of the party had decided
that tariff bill must be passed and
sent to the President before the cleo
tions despite the contrary views large
ly prevailing in both houses. He
pointed out that the bonus. which a
sentatives are supporting, would COM
pei their attendance to vote on the
conference report on that measure,
but that many Senators and Represenr
tatives might try to dodge vote on
the tariff.
Mr.. McCumber put UP a strong plea
for the bonus. He ventured the predic-
ton, which went unchallenged that
the bonus could be disposed of and
reported in two hours. He called the
attention of his colleagues to the
promises made to the politicians in
the American Legion and insisted that
the pledges be kept Mr.. McCumber
then lost the struggle and the con-
ferees went ahead with the tariff.

THOUGHT CAR BUYER
HAD FLOWN COUNTRY

Frank Guffard, saleman Tor Il
Spring Valley used car exchange, was
given scare last night when he
thought that Samuel Terrero who
has been working for the Green Il
Sons Construction company that are
putting in the locks at Belle Island,
had skipped the country still owing
him $500. Terrero bought car
from Guffard and paid him $3.50 down
and promised to pay the rest last
night. He did not show up in Spring
Valley last night and Guifard, think
ing that Terrero had beat it, swore
out warrant for him. Guffard went
to Marseiles this morning and got In
touch with Terrero's sister. She said
that her brother had left for Spring
Valley this morning. Guffard then
went back to Spring Valley and told
the Ottawa police that If Terrero was
not there he would call.
Late this afternoon no message had
been received from Spring Valley, SC
it must be that Terrero paid the bal
ance. Terrero has a good reputation
and 1t must have been some good
reason that kept him from going to
