Immediately after the hearing Cap

DELAY RATE BILL
TILL NEXT WEEK
C0NFEREES WILL NOT REACH
AN AGREEMENT
Pipe Line, Commodity and Injunction
Amendments Are Giving Trouble
to the Lawmakers at
Washington
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-From pres
ent Indications the conferees on the
railroad rate bill will not reach an
agreement until some time next week,
which in all probability will be the last
week Of the session.
The purpose of Withholding their re-
port, it is said, is to avoid repetition
of the long debate in the senate which
followed the recent report of the con-
ferees.
This debate resulted In sending the
bill back to conference.
Conversations conferees have had
with various members of the house and
senate Indicate that there are only
three amendments that are giving
trouble. These are the pipe line amend
ment, which makes pipe lines common
carriers; the commodity amendment
and that which requires that the inter-
state commerce commission shall be
given five days notice before hearings
are granted upon applications for in
functions setting aside orders of the
commission.
The Objections
The controversy over the pipe line
amendment can be disposed of by the
change in the commodity amendment.
The change suggested would provide
that railroads, instead of common car
riers." shall not engage in carrying
commodities which they do not produce.
Another objection to this amendment
is its application to lumber. Strong
protests have been filed with the con-
ferees showing that if this amendment
is adopted 1t will ruin a number of
small roads. which were built for the
sole purpose of getting lumber to trunk
lines.
A new argument has been advanced
against the amendment requiring that
five days notice be given of hearings
for injunctions.
AS to Injunctions
Labor organizations have demanded
that a bill be passed which would re-
quire that they be given five days no.
tice of injunctions to restrain them
from engaging in strikes. This is
political argument which has given
concern and the house conferees during
recent sessions have insisted that this
amendment be eliminated for the rea-
son that it establishes a precedent for
similar legislation in the interest of
labor
There are a number of other amend
ments on which agreements have not
been reached but which could be ad-
judged easily by the conferees. Among
those are the sleeping car and lateral
branch line amendments. 1t is ex-
pected that the latter will be adopted
out of the bill and also that tthe meas
ure will not be applied to sleeping
cars. The anti-pass amendment is in
dispute, but it is said that an agree
ment concernig it can be reached by re-
drafting the amendment so as to pro-
vide merely that passes shall not be
