Passed the Senate by a
Vote of II to 3.
ISONLYHALFALA
The Bill Must Now Go to a Con-
ference Committee of Senators
and Representatives.

Washington, ID. C.-After 20 days
of almost continuous deliberation the
senate On Friday at 4 50 p. m. passed
the railroad rate bill by the practic-
ally unanimous vote of II to 3. The
three negative votes were cast by Sen
ator Foraker, republican, of Ohio and
Senators Morgan and Pettus, demo-
Gratis, Alabama.
The bill has received mere attention
from the senate and from the country
at large than any measure that has
been before congress since the repeal
or the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man act, in 1898. 1t was reported to
the senate on February 26 and was
made the unfinished business on
March II. From March II to May 4,
the bill was under general discussion
without limitation on the duration of
speeches, 5S of which were delivered.
The principal purpose of the rail
road rate bill is to permit the inter
state commerce commission to fix
rates. The provision comforting this
authority is found in the fourth sec
ton of the bill, which amends Section
10 OF the inter state commerce law so
as to accomplish this result. That
section directs the commission to in
vestigate complaints of unjust and un-
reasonable charges on the part of the
common carriers in the transportation
OF persons or property, or of regula-
tons or of practices affecting such
charges.
1t also authorizes an inquiry as to
whether the rates or practices are
"unjusty discriminatory or unduly
preferential or prejudicial or other
wise in violation of the act" and in
case any of these conditions are found
to exist the commission is empowered
to prescribe what will be the reason
able maximum rate and what regula
tion is just, reasonable and fair. Fur
ther, authority is given the commits
sion to enforce its orders and they are
to go into effect within 80 days and
continue in force two years unless
modified or set aside by the
commission or by court of compe-
tent jurisdiction.
