QUESTION OF PASSES.
Amendment to Rate Bill Prepared by
House Conferees

There has been prepared by the House
conferees on the railroad rate bill a
modified form of the anti pass amendment.
which will be presented at the next meet
ing of the joint conference committee for
consideration. The modification Is In the
way, OF specifying an excepted class who
may receive free transportation from the
railroads lawfully. The first exception Is
that of railroad employees and their FAM
HES. Another Is that OF employees OF the
Post Office Department who hold commits
sions from the Postmaster General and are
required to travel
The agitation over the completely pro-
hibitive pass provision embodied in the
hrst conference report has developed q
decided sentiment among legislators that
antt-pass legislation perhaps ought not
to be made q part of the railroad rate
bill. There Is hint that such a propo-
sftion may be forthcoming from the Sem
civ conferees az q counter proposition
