Bonus Fi^lit
lo Be Carried
to House Floor
Advocates Lose in House G.
O. P.' Conference Where
Mellon Tax Cut Program
Given Preference.
By Associated Press.
Washington. Jan. 11.—Instructions
have been given the house ways and
means committee to report the tax
bill on or before February 11. After
that date it is to take up soldiers’
bonus legislation to determine whether
an adjusted compensation bill should
be supported.
This program was decided upon last
■night at a conference of house repub
licans, who refused, however, to
pledge themselves to the passage at
this session of congress of either tax
or bonus legislation.
At (lie outset of the meeting, which
was behind closed doors, Itepresenta
tive I.ongworth, party leader, pro
posed that the ways and means com
mittee be .nstructed to continue the
tax bill to the "exclusion of all other
general legislative propositions,’' with
a view to making a report by Febru
ary 11, after which time It should
proceed to consideration of bonus leg
islation.
Two amendments were offered to
the Long worth resolution, and both
were rejected.
Bonus Men Lose.
Representative Fairchild of New
Tork proposed a stipulation that a
bonus bill be reported "as soon as
possible.” This proposal was rejected,
100 to 87. The other amendment, ot
tered by Representative Fish of New
Tork, a war veteran, fixed February
15 as tha latest date for a report on
bonus legislation. On a roll call the
amendment lost, 109 to 87.
The Longworth resolution then
xns adopted by vica voce vote, but
the soldier bloc made one more effort
to insure favorable action on the
bonus. Mr. Fish proposed that the
conference record itStelf In favor of
enactment at this session of congress
at both a “reasonable” tax reduction
»nd a bonus measure. On motion of
Representative Lehlback of New .Ter
»ey, however, tills proposal was
tabled, 97 to 94.
To Carry on Flglit.
Routed In the conference, mem
bers of the former service men’s
group declared they would take
their tight to the floor of the house
*nd would attempt to have the ways
and means committee discharged
from consideration of the bonus bill.
This, they pointed out, would bring
about a record vote, which would
include democrats as well as repub
licans.
Victorious In the flret showdown
on the taxation-bonus question, Mr.
T.ongworth said the tax hill would
be given right-of-way In the house
when it is reported ^and Its consid
eratlon would he expedited.
With Its new instructions the ways
and means committee continued con
sideration today of the administra
tive features of the treasury tax bill
and members are hopeful that -this
phase of their work can be complet
ed by the middle of next week.
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
was named today by Chairman Lodge
Of the senate foreign relations com
mlttee, to head the subcommittee
which will hold publlo hearings on
the Borah resolution favoring recogni
• lion of the soviet govetyvntnt of Rus
sia.
The date for beginning the hear
ings has not been fixed.
The house foreign affairs commit
tee today indefinitely postponed ac
tion on the Fairchild resolution pro
posing to prohibit sales of war mate
rials by the United States to foreign
governments.
Smith of South Carolina, the new
democratic chairman of the senate
Interstate commerce committee, an
nounced he favored a substantial
reduction In freight rates, but
couldn’t tell what the republican
majority of the committee might do.
Senator Borah was made chairman
of the committee that will Inquire
Into the Russian recognition pro
gram. and the resolution to prevent
arms sales like that recently nego
tiated with General Obregon, was
pigeon-holed by tha house foreign
affairs committee.
The SOS signals of ths northwest
ern farmers, recently picked up by
a dozen governmental agencies In
Washington, were heard again by
members of both senats and house
agriculture committees.
