BONUS BILL |SN0W
IN FINAL STAGES
Measure, Passed by Senate,
Is Taken to House for
Conference.
QUICK ACTION EXPECTED
Leaders Plan to Take Up Bill
Today and Limit
Debate.
QUICK ACTION EXPECTED


last March by an even greater proper
tionate majority. House leaders
planned to send the measure to con-
ference today under special rule
which would limit debate sharply.
Senate and House conferees will
be the same as those on the tariff
measure, but since there are few
houses on the bonus the managers
are expected to lay aside the tariff
long enough to frame a report on the
compensation measure. With favor
able action on this report by Con-
gress the bill would be ready for the
President.
Both friends and foes of the bonus
Senate lineup. Foes pointed out that
this showed thirty-three senators
against the bonus. or enough to pre-
vent passage over the President s
| veto, should he disapprove it, as they
iconfidently expect he will. On the
other hand, friends pointed to the fact
that the number of senators support
ing the bonus on the roll call yes
terday exceeded by one the necessary
two-thirds majority of those present
and voting to override a veto.
