WASHINGTON, u. C., June g.
In an effort to hasten action on the
Senate railroad bill regular leaders
this afternoon began 10 accept
amendments of minor Importance or
permit their adoption without roll
call This action, however, has
aroused the suspicion OF regulars
that things are not what they seem,
A great number of amendments
were pending when the Senate took
up consideration Of the bill to-day.
The Crawford amendment, first of
those taken up, WIS rejected with
out roll. It's author intended that
the amendment should take the place
OF the one proposed by Senator Bailey
prohibiting railroads from doing other
than a transportation business. which
went down In defeat yesterday.
Crawford. however. granted railroads
the right to engage in a timber and
lumber business.
