ship which such sweeping bill would do to the newspapers of the State. The committee consisted of President R. E L. Neil. Secretary Jacob Pepperman, A. w. Holstun, pr. D. c. Burleson and John c. Hunter of the Alabama Press Association.
 The committee made a brief state ment of the situation, and of the cus- tom of Alabama newspapers of selling a certain amount of space in their pa pers for transportation for their edi- tors and their solicitors. The Senators were favorably impressed by the assur- ance of the newspaper men and by their account of existing conditions. They assured the newspaper men the anti pass legislation was not aimed at them, but that 1t was directed at evils which were believed to exist.
 The newspaper men were told, fur ther, that the Senate Committee was quite willing to have an amendment added which would not deprive the newspaper of the privilege of entering into an agreement for the exchange or value The amendment was prepared at the meeting by the Senators. and in all probability the Alabama editors need no longer fear the anti pass bill

The Legislature will not separate the Alabama editor from his railroad pass. The Senate Committee on Commerce and Common Carriers. at its meeting held at the Glenmore Hotel last night. decided such a hardship would be un- fair and unjust.
 As is generally known, the railroad pass that goes to a newspaper editor Is given him because of the publication of railroad schedules, "old hoss' sales, and other advertisements by the railroads. The editors railroad pass Is given as an exchange between the editor and the railroads.
 Under the terms of the Lusk bill, as originally drawn, 1t would have been unlawful for the railroads and the edi- tors to make any such exchange. The Lusk anti-pass bill was drawn up simi- lar to the railroad bill which passed Congress. It has been held that the Congressional act forbids such an ex- change of benefits.
 When the Senate Committee on Com merce and Common Carriers met last night, a committee of prominent mem bers of the Alabama Press Association went before it and explained the hard

the following statement.
"At the request of many busi-
ness men, before leaving for
Europe, I came to Washington
to see the president to discuss
the present business situation,
particularly as affecting the
railroads. I suggested to the
president that it would be great

would see Mr.. McCrea, Mr..
Newman, Mr.. Mellen and MIR.
Hughitt and confer with them
as to what steps might be taken
to allay the public anxiety as to
the relations between the rail-
roads and the government. The
president said he would be glad
to see the gentleman named with
this end in view"
