WASHINGTON, Feb, 25.-The action Of
the Senate Committee on Interstate Com

railroad rates, which means the postpone
ment of all such legislation until the next
Congress. will probably be taken about
the middle of the coming week when a
resolution authorizing an investigation OF
the question during the summer recess
will be reported TO the Senate.
The subcommittee which has the reso-
luton in charge, consisting of Senator's
Kean OF New Jersey, Fornker Of OHIO and
Carmack of Tennessee has completed its
labors and has agreed upon the resolution
proposed some weeks ago by the Senator
from New jersey together with some
amendments some what enlarRing the scope

can re gulate railroad rates and fares. This
authority, it is held, will permit the COM
mittee to inquire into any branch Of the
subject that may have any bearing on the
rate regulation question. and IL will there =
fore be unnecessary to provide specifically
for the inclusion OF any named proposition.
