The chances are the Senate will not pass the McNary- Haugen bill this session. Already it is apparent that the soldier bonus issue is not closed, as was at first thought. Speeches are being made by friends of the ex- service men to the effect that in the next session of Congress an ameni- ment will be sought whereby cash would be given immediately to the veterans instead of at the end of twenty years. Rail Owners Worried. Some uncertainty, more or less in- visible, but nevertheless carrylng ap- prehension to the railroad world, is involved in the Howell-Barkley bill, which would abolish the Rallroad Labor Board, and In the discussion of a repeal of the so-called earning clause of the transportation act. The railroads and those who hold their investment securities will breathe easler when Congress adjourns. The Republican administration is not at all happy over these clouds of uncertainty and wants to go to the country with a slogan of prosperity. Men like Senator Smoot think that the moment the tax bill becomes law it will stimulate business. More than that, the moment doubts as to action of Congress are rémoved. the business situation as a whole will be bene- fitted.
