SOLDIER BONUS
BLOCKED AGAIN
Speaker Gillette Bars Gag
Rule Plan

WASHINGTON. March ao.--Prezi.
dent Harding today refused to make
any new recommendations that nigh,
lead republican house leaders out OF
the soldier bonus tangie.
In conference with house leaders,
lasting nearly two hours. the presi.
dent said In view Of his previous
statements he had no further sug.
gcstions TO offer and that full re
sponsibility for any future action
must rest with congress.
Thus the bonus was shunted back
on the shoulders OF congress-.
Following the White House confer
encc Speaker Gillctt blocked tempo
rarily at least the passage OF the
bonus bill thru the house.
He announced just before the
house met that he would refuse q
recognize Chairman Fordney OF the
house ways and means committee for
a motion TO pass the bill under a gas
rule.
Gilletts stand means that the bill
probably will be brought up under a
special rule. which will give the cash
bonus advocates n chance to make q
final effort 10 include cash payments
in the bill. Under the gag rule nc
amendments would have been pos
sible.

positively that he would not run.

said, admitting that he had been

His book tells the story of Mark Sabre. an Eng
