BILL WILL GO OVER TO
SEPTEMBER BY SENATOR'S ACT
IN PLACING IT AFTER TARIFF
Majority Senators Accomplish
Delay, But Promise Vote
Before Adjournment.
fsy Tho Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON. June 19-The compro-
mise program of republican leaders to
defer action on the soldiers bonus bill
until after the tariff measure has been
disposed OF was approved today at a
conference of majority senators. The
vote was 27 to IL At the same time
the conference went on record as favor
ing final action on the bonus before any
recess or adjournment of Congress.
Before adopting a resolution embody-
ing this program, the conference rejected,
80 to 9. motion by Senator McCumber,
republican. North Dakota, to lay aside
the tariff for action on the bonus. MIR.
McCumber, who has charge Of both
pieces of legislation. then offered the
compromise resolution.
Promise Open Flight.
Despite the conference action, there
viii be an open fight in the Senate to
get the bonus bin up before the Senate
returns to consideration of the tariff
measure, laid aside last week for the
naval appropriation bin. Several senators
on both the republican and democratic
sides were prepared to offer a motion
tomorrow that the bonus bill be taken
UP Immediately, but republican leaders
appeared confident that such a motion
would be defeated. '
Delay TO September.
Should the najority's compromise pro-
gram be put through, final Senate action
on the bonus probably would not cUme
before September. Estimates today were
that the tariff bill could not be brought
to q vote before August /, at the earli-
est, and more likely not before August
Is. With Senators on both sides pre-
pared to make a determined fight on
the bonus. IL is figured that It win take
from a month to six weeks TO put that
measure through.
Pass Before Adjournment.
The resolution also declared that both
the tariff and the bonus should be
pressed 10 their final disposition "as sx-
peditiously as possible" and that there
sheuld be no final adjournment OF this
or any recess until both these
proposed measures are finally disposed
OF"
