Senators Agree On Bonus To Follow Tariff
Washington June 13 A majority of Republican Senators backed passing a soldier bonus bill after the tariff bill. The conference voted 27 to 11 with 22 absentees. Senator La Follette signaled plans to move to take up the bonus immediately, potentially uniting about 25 Democrats and enough Republicans to advance it. The adopted resolution binds the party to make the bonus the unfinished business and push both measures to final action with no adjournment until resolved.
