...days later the Rules Committee produced a resolution, the adoption of which would send the disputed measure to conference in the regular way, with the House conferees in formal disagreement with the Senate but free to bargain to the best of their ability. In effect, this resolution was aimed at the Senate amendment. In adopting the resolution the House predicted its final vote on the Senate's $24,000,000 amendment?against...
...Bargain. In the secret conferences, trading possibilities were offered by other Senate amendments to the Deficiency bill. The Senate called for publicity on all tax refunds of $10,000 or more; it supplied the next President with $250,000 to make a law enforcement survey.

...Bargain Basement. For many a year many a Boston housewife has set out from her suburban home shopping-round for "Filene's Basement." One of the earliest of the "bargain basements" now common in U. S. department stores, Filene's Basement added much to the fame of the Filene Store. Now to its basement Filene's has added a branch.
