All Roads Are Pledged.

E, Sends Message to Congress.
To clinch the victory, the president
sent to congress a message recon-
mending that the clause in the rail-
road bill which allows sixty days to
intervene before the bill becomes op-
eratlve, be amended in order that the
jurisdiction OF the interstate COM
merce commission over increased
rates shall become effective immedi-
ately upon the signing of the measure.
AS the railroads have agfeed to with
hold contemplated increases only UNI
til the enactment of the new law, the
sixiy-day provision would permit them,
after the bill Is signed, to file in
creases that would be outside of the
power OF tae commission to review in

mends that the new law be made ek
fective at once as to rate-making.
Assurances have been given the
president that this recommendation
will be complied with.
