MR. DALZELL WANTS
 TO HURRY MATTERS
ASKS FOR SPECIAL RULE TO PER- MT IMMEDIATE PASSAGE OF THE CONFERENCE REPORT ON THE RATE BILL.

Washington, June 2S.-Objectlon having been made in the House to the immediate consideration of the conference report on the railroad rate bill, the speaker immedi ately called the committee on rules togeth- er and as a result MT Dalzell reported rulesuspending the second section)of rule 25 that conference reports must be printed and lie over one day before being acted upon. In explanation, MT Dalzell said that as the House was within six days of adjourning. the rule was absolutely necessary in order that business might be transacted promptly.
 Mir. Williams insisted that this was another usurpation of power on the part of the majority. Under the rule. he said, the railway rate conference would be rall- roaded through without dozen men knowing what the merits of the items on the conference report were He said It was his understanding that the report made pipe lines common carriers, which was no change from the last conference, and that the anti-pass amendment was the same amendment on that subject with some modification. He read the anti-pass amendment as agreed upon, and asked who could tell what it's meaning was-it was faulty in that 1t did not prohibit the persons affected by the amendment asking passes for other people, and this MT. Williams thought was vital de- feet
 MT. De Armond of Missouri called at tention to the fact in the last statement of the House conferees on the rate Dill the phrase 'phraseoogical change had been repeatedly used. He was struck with the pecularity of the word, and thought it barbarous. He intimated that the haste was meant to cover up some thing which the House would understand if the report was printed.
 MT. Cooper of Wisconsin characterized the rule as an effort to throttle the House and an effort to "distinctly and deliberately violate the rule He saiG he had right to know what was in con ference reports.
 The suggestion of unfairness brought MT Dalzel to his feet. Looking squarely at MT. Cooper he said "The intimation that there Is a deliberate attempt to vio- late a standing rule of the House by this special rule is untrue. If l thought as meanly about my colleagues as the gen. tleman from Wisconsin intimates he does, I would retire from the House."
 The rule was adopted 16S to SS.
