SENT BACK TO CONFERENCE
SENATE VOTES NOT TO ACCEPT
REPORT ON THE RAILROAD
RATE BILL.

Washington, June 27.-The senate
has voted not to accept the conference
report on the railroad rate bill and
Senators Tillman, Elkins and Cullom

When the conference report on the
railroad rate bill was taken up Mr..
Elkins wv. va.). who was one OF the
senate .conferees, spoke on the amend
ment TO the commodity provision US
ing the word railroads" instead OF
the phrase common carriers" He
gave iunediate attention to the con-
tentjoa that the change has the effect
.of Altlninating pipe lines from the re-
auirement cf the bill. He said that
West Virginia Is the largest oil pro-
ducer In the Union and that the great
er part OF the oil ID sold to the pipe
line owners 90 that the owners trans
port their own oil and are not strictly
speaking common carriers.
Senator Clapp (Minn.) could not ac-
cept the theory that the proposed
legislation would injure the independ-
ent oil companies. nor did he believe
that the protests were uninduenced
by the STANDARD company. In support
OF this statement he read letter
from George F. Getty OF Bartlesville.
I. T., president OF the, Minnehoma Oil
company, in which the writer said he
had been called into the local ONCE OF
the standard company and asked to
forward kilograms Of protest to SEN
ators and congressman. the Standard
agent supplying the form and volun-
teering to pay the cost OF transmits
sion. He announced hts opposition
both to the commodity and the pass
cOmpromise.
