senate an absolute deadlock on the
meat inspection amendment to the

sessions of the 0onferees had been
held. The Vermont senator said that
the house conferees had declined to
consider any compromise on the sub
ject of the payment OF the cost OF In
Spection by the packers.
The conference on the railroad rate
bill has resulted in no agreement on
that measure The discussion made II
clear that the pass provision, which is
to be perfected for the action Of the
committee, will follow closely the lines
Of the original senate amendment on
that subject. 1t will name certain
classes OF persons who may receive
passes and exclude all others. There
is also ground for the prediction that
the pipe line amendment will be re
ported exactly as 1t was In the last
conference repOrt-that Is, the phrase
common carriers" will give place tc
the word railroads"
The effect Of this will be to permit
pipe lines to transport the product
owned by the owners of the pipe line.
