Washington, March Regardless
of the fact that the statehood bill was
the only question discussed in the
senate today, railroad rates continued
the absorbing topic and groups of SEN
ators met in earnest, but informal
consideration of many suggested
amendments.
The big, question now is one OF
wording amendments and without a
doubt no bill that has been before
congress in years has been given SO
much attention over so small an issue.
Judicial review of orders of the inter
state commerce commission has from
the first been the real issue. One
faction, that supporting the bill in its
present form, declares that it has no
objection to railroads having their day
in court, but it makes the assertion
that this is provided in the present
bill. The other faction contends that
it wants the same thing, but that the
bill should provide for this in specific
terms, There are other factions which
have amendments, such as the Spoon
er plan of impounding the difference be-
tween the commissions and railroads

There are many senators who admit
frankly that they are not experts on
the subject of railroad rates and that
they have been confused by various
plans that have been submitted. These
senators say that they will have to
await debates on the bill before they
can feel certain of their positions. On
this account an accurate poll cannot
BE- made.
Supporters OF the judicial review
amendment have been more sanguine
concerning the situation since the
