By order OF the President additional

made public are from Secretary Straus
of the Department Of Commerce and
Labor, addressed to the President and to
Chairman Tawney, Of the Appropriations

In his letter 10 the President Mr.. Straus
says.

An effort was made 20 bring Commits

mission. the present secretary Of the Or
der Of Railway Conductors. into the fight

expressed their thorough disapproval Of

When the decision was reached by the
House leaders Thursday not 10 force. a

street Railway Routes to station
Changed and Northeast Line
Authorized.

Mr.. Babcock, chairman of the House
District Committee, filed his report yes
terday on the bill to allow the street
railways TO lay their tracks to reach the
Union Station. In making the report
the whole Senate bill was stricken out
and a new bill drafted with important
additions. The locomotive smoke bill and
the broad tire bin. both Of which have
passed the House, and the extension Of
the Capital Fraction lines along Florida
avenue and down Eighth street north
east TO Pennsylvania avenue southeast,
which the Senate refused to pass, have
been added as separate sections.
The bill as thus presented to the House
strikes out the connection proposed by
the Senate for the Capital Traction Com
pany from North Capitol street to Seventh
street northwest. and the company is au-
thOrized to make it's connection with
Seventh street from the Union Station by
using the existing tracks on Massachu-
sets avenue.
A fierce fight is expected to come on the
smoke law clause, Several members of
the House yesterday received letters from
&c iii N' itttNtNN7 vi tilt tdilttcu COMPANIES
in opposition TO this section The senti-
ment Of the House District Committee is
strong for the law. and it is likely to be
passed and become the subject of a stub
born contest in conference
Members of the House also expect some
opposition 10 the broad tire section. They
say that they will insist on both para
graphs, even TO the point of risking the
fate Of the bin, IN which case a most seri-
Gus delay would be occasi0ned in getting
street car access to the Union Station.
