PRESIDENT coNFERs WITH LEAD.
If,G SENATORS ON RAILROAD
RATE LEGISLATION.
DETERMINED TO CONTINUE THE FI6n1
EXECUTIVE OUTLINES THE MEAS
uRE HE DESIRES TO HAVE
CONGRESS ENACT.

Washington, Noy. 3.-The question
Of railroad rate legislation was consid
cred at length at the White House
during the day at conference be
tween the president and Senators Cul
lom of Illinois and Dolliver of Iowa,
two Of the men who are expected tc
lead the administration fight In the
approaching session of congress. The
meeting is the first the president has
had since the adjournment of the last
session of congress with the senators
upon whom he depends for the voicing
Of the administrations views In such
legislation as may be enacted.
The president outlined the measure
he desires to have congress enact, but
neither of his conferees would discuss
this beyond saying that In the presi
dents expressions there are no par
ticular notifications Of the ideas that
he has already put before the public.
The chief feature Of these is that the
Interstate commerce commission
should be clothed with powers to re-
wise railroad rates when found to be
unreasonable. 1t Is understood that
the president is committed to no meas
ure so far as phraseology of the de.
sired legislation is concerned, but he
made 1t clear that he will continue his
determined fight for the issues he has
repeatedly and publicly advocated.
