Abandon Ship Subside Bill Dominates Senate Talks
Republican leaders in the Senate abandon the ship subsidy bill after an all night conference at Senator Lodge's home.

President Harding’s stance shifts toward delaying bonus legislation, with a push for postponement and potential extra sessions uncertain.
