TRACKS TO THE DEPOT
UNLIKELY THAT CONFEREGS
WILL MEET THIS WEEK.

1t is not likely that the conferees in the
Union station street railway trackage bill
will meet this week. Senators Long and
Martin who with Senator Gallinger,
chairman of the District committee and
author of the Senate bill represent the
upper house. have been out of the city
for several days and may not be back
until next week.
. When the conference is finally held there
will doubtless be an interesting session,
and probably several of them, in view
of the fact that the senators on the COM
mittee are determined as far as possible to
stand against incumbering the measure
with any propositions not directly con-
nected with the building Of tracks to the
station, and that the House cOnferees
have been instructed to stand firm on the
amendments adopted by that body, in
Guiding the universal transfer provision
and the section giving regulatory powers
over time schedules, etc, TO the District
Commissioners.
That the final outcome will be COM
promise seems to be inevitable at this
time. as neither house is willing to yield
everything.
