At that moment young Cuban

To labor through.

And stars above.

Then joys untold,
Then new delight

The liopburn railroad rate bill passed
the house Of representatives Thursday by
Il vote of BAG to I. The votes against the
bill were all cast by republicans.
The following is n summary Of the
bill. According to Iiepburn's statement

the bill was intended, and did, so far MS
it could, he said. comply specifically
with the recommendations Of President

commission, subject during that time to
be set aside or suspended by the COM

Another important feature is the de-

the control Of the commission. This
power to name a reasonable rate and
the inclusion OF the auxillarics within

said to be the new features. All other
provisions are notifications OF exist
