WILL TALK RATE BILL
Chairman Hepburn, of the House, Will
Request Monday That Bill be Laid on
Table Pending Conference of Both
Parties.

Washington, May 19-When the
railroad rate bill reaches the house
from the senate which will probably
be Monday, Chairman Hepburn will
make request that it lie on the
speakers table, pending an informal
conference of republican and demo-
cratic members of the committee on
interstate and foreign commerce. which
is to be called as soon as a print of
the bill with the senate amendments
included, is available
This conference of members of the
committee has been decided upon by
Hepburn as the proper way to get the
sense of the members of the committee
of both parties, i'm view of the unani-
nous action Of that committee in re-
porting the bill.
After discussing the senate amend
mentS in this manner, the bill doubt
less will be considered by the commit
tee in regular session. Should differ
ences arise between the democrats and
republicans on the committee, eau
cuses of the members separately might
be held before a request is made for
conference with the senate. There is
no likelihood, in the opinion of those
in touch with the situation, that the
house will at once accept the amend
ments of the senate, the refusal of
which necessitates a conference.
