CLAUD sHILE
By Associstsd Press

Washington. June 1O.-irfor-
 maj canvasses made by leading
 opponents of soldier bonus bill
 were said today to have disclosed
 Senate majority for the meas
 ure of practically three to one.
 This compares with the nearly
 five to one vote by which the bill
 passed the House.
 Both sides in the impending fight were understood to have found some satisfaction in the result of the can vases. Opponents said oefeat of any cloture rule to limit debate on the bill practically was assured while some proponents pointed that If a three to one majority could be held there would be the necessary votes to pass the measure over President Harding's veto, should he disapprove it, as some opponents contend that he will if passed in it's present form.
 Thirty senators were listed as against the amended House bill with this number possibly to be augmented by one senator who Is absent from Washington and whose position has not been definitely established. The 30 senators were divided, 20 on the republican side and 10 on the demo- cratic side.
 A number of senators who are counted as supporters of the present bill if no definite one can be put through, will join in fight to amend the measure reported by the finance committee. Some of them favor a cash payment and other important changes.

DEMOCRATS CLAIM
 TARIFF LAW WOULD
 PROHIBIT IMPORTS
McCumber Threatens to Re- sort to Night Sessions Again in Order to Has,
 ten Action
By Aseoclated Press

Washington, June 10.-Assertions that many of the rates proposed in the tariff bill would prohibit imports of affected commodities from every country except Germany were made and reiterated today in the Senate by democratic opponents of the meas ure during debate on duties on razors, gold leaf and other articles. Rates on razors ranging up to an equivalent of approximately 400 per cent ad valorem were approved.
 Senator Simmons of North Caro- lima, democratic leader In the tariff fight, said the Idea permeates the whole bill that we must put in rates to keep out German products with out any consideration they will have on our trade with other countries"
 Arguing that If the situation as to Germany wore such as proponents of the tariff bill claim, Senator Jones, democrat, New Mexico said the con- dition there resulting from a greatly depreciated currency could not be taken care Of by general tariff rates. He added that many of the duties proposed by The finance committee majority would prove to be "an em- barso against England and the other countries"
 Congress is following A will-o'- wisp with this tariff bill" said he.
 Approve Other Duties
 Aside from the rates on rasors the Senate approved over minor protest duties of 60 cents a hundred sheets on gold leaf: 30 per cent ad valorem on nickel silver sheets. strips, rods and wire; 7h per cent ad vRlorem on hismuth; six cents a pound on metal lie arsenic and 15 cents A pound on cadmium.
 Just before the Senate recessed after a seven-hour session, Senator McCumber. republican, North Dakota, in charge of the bill. gave notice that return to the night sessions would be necessary unless the senate applied itself more closely on the tariff. He said he realized Senator Underwood of Alabama. the minority leader. and Senator Simmons, had done all they could 10 keep down extraneous de- bate but that the progress made yes terday and today on the tariff had not been as great as had been hoped for.
 Declaring that he did not propose to permit the North Dakota sena- tor hold threat over the democratic side. Senator Underwood said the H. nance committee chairman could Eo back to the night sessions and fight the bill out. He went on to say that there had been little extraneous de- bate during the day and that tho leaders on his side were making eff forts to expedite consideration of the tariff.

In view of the fact that these con- ditions are lacking and because of the objections of France to a re- vision of the total separations due from Germany. the comittee have de- cided to suspend their study of the substantial loan to Germany could fulfilled, and they hold themselves ready to resume consideration of the question on the unanimous invita- tion of the separations commission.
 The committee recognizes that there is certain dependence of a reparation settlement in the ques- tion of inter-allied war debts which is outside of the committees juris- diction and they point out the dan ger of collapse of German credit if the negotiations for a settlement are too long delayed. A short term in- terim loan. however, could be made which would remove that danger. But short term small loan, it Is said would be of no benefit to cer- tain of the allies who would receive little or none of the proceeds.
 French Disments
 The French delegate. Charles Ser gent, dissented from the report say ing he was unable to accept any reduction in German liability under the treaty of Versailles, or any di- intuition whatever of Frances rights under the treaty.
 The committee decided that they could not usefully continue their study, AS they were extremely anx- ious that no action of theirs should injure the interests of France, and that If France did not at the present time desire any inquiry into the more general conditions necessary for re- establishing of Germany's ex- ternal credit the committee did not feel justified in undertaking that in quiry
 The committee observe that an es- sential condition of an external loan at any time is that the public must feel that Germany is making real and substantial efforts to place her finances on stable basis and that a second essential consideration is re- moval of the uncertainty regarding the reparatlons obligations.
 Request of Allies
 The committee had before them a statement to the effect that Amer ican bankers and Investors could be interested in a substantial degree on the purchase of German obliga- tions only If further fundamental condition was satisfied, namely that such loan should be at the unani- nous request and for the benefit oi the allied nations.
 Among the fundamental conditions of American participation was unan- imity among the lenders as well as the establishment of the credit of the borrower
 The report touches on the inter- allied debts as being outside the com petenoe of the committee and that subject could not be discussed. But the fact could not be ignored that these debts were bound to be dis cussed as among the factors In the problem in securing that desirable allied agreement which also was one of the essential conditions of loan to Germany.

SENATOR BORAHT ID AID HOOVER IN HIS
 POLICY ON STRIKE
Congressional Investigation to Be Withheld Until Effect of Moral Persuasion Can
 Be Learned
By Associated Press

Washington, June 10.-Senatorial objection to the administration ef- forts to prevent rising coal prices was withdrawn today pending den- onstration of the success of Secretary Hoover's program of meeting the sit- uation by moral persuasion, while as- surances of cooperation were given the Secretary of Commerce in his efforts by the National Retail Coal Merchants association.
 Senator Walsh, democrat, Msssa- chusetts, joined with Senator Borah, republican, Idaho, In announcing his intention of withholding demand for congressional investigation of ths coal price problem, although he de- clared if advances were not quickly overcome he would seek to deter mine the facts and If necessary urge indictments if profiteering ex- isted.
 Roderiek Stephens. of New York. chairman of the board of directors of the retail coal association, wrote Mir. Hoover that his organization would immediately study the specific sug gestions offered as a policy for the guidance of the retail coal trade.
 Developments in the coal price con- troversy since his conference with Senator Borah last night were re- garded today by MT. Hoover as giv- ing him the support and co-opera- ton necessary to push his program of moral persuasion" to keep charges for fuel from climbing dur ing the emergency.
 Bornh,s Warning
 Senator Borah's useful warming" Mir. Hoover said, tonight, in a Etate- ment, that no aid or comfort will be given from the committee of the Senate of which he is chairman to those who have refused to co-oper- ate in the voluntary plan O. re- straining coal prices, will I trust put an end to the recent actions of some people in attempting to upset these arrangements through sena- torial support.
 "The National Coal Retailers as socatlon now informs me that they wish to cooperate and l have no doubt they will reply to my origi-
 
 various state and local retail asso- citations are assuring me that they will play the game. Some of the smaller groups of operators have so far refused to accept the basis that have proposed but the larger fields are COG operating to solve difficult situations as witness the halt in prices and their reduction In the past few days.
 There seems to be some mistaken I impression that the Secretary Of Commerce has unduly attempted to control prices other than fhe destre of the administration to use it's good offices to protect the public. Congress has given no powers to the administration and in their absence if these good offices prove ineffect- ual 1t is up to Congress to devise some other method"

 Of Miss Belle Kearney, the first nomination for the United States Senate. Miss Kearney Is waging an active campaign and is attracting fair sized crowds to all of her meet ings. She makes very favorable impression. That she will make an excellent showing in the first pri- mary is predicted by friend and foe alike. Veteran political observers say. however. the time is not yet ripe for Mississippi to send a woman to the Senate. As a matter of fact this state failed to ratify the Susan F Anthony amendment to the fed eral constitution, and that was sub stantial evidence that suffrage for women is none too popular here Women themselves do not seem to be taking an active interest in poli- tics for less than 25 per cent of the qualified women voters have reg istered.
