Bonus measure complicates fate of tariff bill
Washington May 31 The McCumber soldier bonus bill was ordered reported to the Senate calendar by a Finance Committee majority. It could be called up for debate and action, while the committee also voted against reporting the Smoot bill which replaces cash bonuses with a paid plan. The dispute over prioritizing the tariff or the bonus measures risks delaying both, with filibusters likely if a motion to set the tariff aside is offered by bonus advocates.
