WILL LEAVE TABLE
RAILROAD RATE BILL GOES TO
 CONFERENCE. "
Hepburn and Williams Endeaves to Ges Together on . United Plan But All Efforts Have
 Failed. 5

Washington, May 24-The railroad
 rate bill will be taker from the speak
 CTS table tomorrow and sent to con
 ference. This action has been decided
 on by Representative Hepburn, chair
 man of the committee on interstate and
 foreign commerce. The delay so far in
 taking this action has been caused by
 desire on the part of the Republican
 leaders to reach an agreement with the
 minority whereby the bill might be
 sent to conference by unanimous vote,
 making unnecessary the bringing in
 of special rule.
 Minority Leader Williams, however has taken the position that if the Re- publicans will consent to a motion be-
 ing made to concur on four of the fifty-three Senate amendments he will consent to motion to non-eoncur on
 the remaining forty-nine and ask for
 a conference.
 This alternative proposition will not
 be accepted, and the special rulc pro. pared by MT. Hepburn Tuesday, will
 be acted on by the rules committed to- morrow. It is undestood Mir. Williams i who is a member of tic, rules com | mittee, will endeavor to have this rule | amended in committee to comply with ms piAns
 The amendments which the n1inori- 1 ty leader wished to concur in are those including express companies within the | Jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission, striking out the words fairly remunerative," as applied to the rate to be fixed; specifying the terms of the bill of lading to be used
 and leaving the commission as 1t now exists.
 There is no particular objection on the part of the majority to the first three of these amendments and they
 will undoubtedly be accepted by the House conferees. As to that relating | to the commission, there will be op- | position. The House provision in- creasing the size of the commission | will be adhered to most tenaoiously by | the House conferees. Since the rate bill was received by the House. many conferences have been held between the majority and minori- | ty leaders relating to it's disposition. The final one took place today be- tween Chairman Hepburn and Mir, Will Hams and resulted in the conclusion
 that nothing could be done in the way of united action.
