Attempt to tack rider for bonus payment shapes Washington
In Washington a bid to tack a soldiers' bonus rider onto Roosevelt's 4.88 billion work and relief bill stirred Republican circles in the Senate today. Administration leaders hoped to fend off a McCarran wage amendment and wage a plan to employ 3.5 million on public works with security wages around five dollars a month. A fight over trimming the bill to 2.88 billion worried officials as a bonus rider could delay passage, though it has failed in similar contexts before. The appropriations committee prepared to vote on McCarran's amendment with W C Hushing of the AF of L slated to testify amid ongoing relief estimates.
