|SENATEPUTSBONUS.
| ON THE CALENDAR
Soldier Bill Reported by Com
mittee by Unanimous
Consent.

The soldiers bonus bill was on the
Senate calendar today. but without any
definite time fixed for it's consideration.
Chairman McCumber of the finance
committee reported the measure last
night by unanimous consent after first
effort to present 1t under a consent
agreement had failed.
Senator McCumber desires TO have the
Senate consider the bill In the near fu-
ture. but some leaders on the republican
side oppose his plans, believing 1t un-
wise to displace the tariff bill for a
measure which is certain to lead to a
long and, perhaps. bitter fight.
Fate of Bill n Problem.
That there are sufficient votes in the
Senate to pass a bonus bill Is conceded
by opponents. but whether the measure
can be put through in its present form
Is problematical. The democrats plan
to offer an amendment embodying
cash feature, while Senator Bursum. re-
publican. New Mexico. now has bill in
providing for a cash bonus. Many other
amendments also will be offered and in
addition opponents Of bonus legislation
/, in any form are prepared to wage de-
termined fight.
Outlined to President.
Supporters Of the amended House bill
apparently are giving little considera-
tion now as to how President Harding
views the measure as 1t came from the
finance committee The legislation mas
been outlined to him in detail. but so
far as has been made known he has not
given an opinion to the finance COM
mittee Some of those who have called
on him recently. however. have indicated
that he has not altered his opinion that
any bonus legislation passed should
carry a means Of financing il.

No Present Action Expected
Mr. Langley said he did not think it
possible to secure the enactment OF
such bill at this session, but thai

1t is contended. he says. that such a
