into camp and that a coalition or
republican and democratic supporters
of the long and short haul clause
would bring a victory greater than
they had anticipated.
After a few moments of personal
explanation there was a cooling off,
and a number of the leaders, repre-
senting all fections, went to work to
shape up a compromise around the
seat of Mr.. Fletcher. Around the desk
were Dixon, Aldrich, Elkins, Bacon,
Crawford, Bristow, Rayner, Gore and
others, all of whom took part in a
rapid interchange of comment Other
senators hung about the outskirts OF
the group All elements were repre-
scented in the shifting crowd. At 4:30
Mr.. Dixon demanded another recess,
which he only obtained after roll
call
When The senate reconve1ed, the
compromise amendment was adopted
After the vote was taken, several
senators asserted that opponents Of
the long and short haul amendments
had been compelled to accept a pro-
vision which they had denounced as
revolutionary. Mr.. Bacon openly
tainted Mr.. Aldrich with being will
ing to accept anything to preserve
his prestige and prevent the appear
ance Of defeat.
Great Day FOR Railroads.
Mr.. Hepburn, who fought the
amendment at every stage, asserted
that it had been a great day for the
railroads.
The new provision as amended says
that carrier cannot charge more
for shorter haul than longer but
does not forbid the road from charg-
ing the same amount. The amend
ment provides that the interstate
commission may authorize lower
rates for longer than for a shorter
haul if it finds that water or rail com
petition enters into the question, and
finds that no discrimination exists.
Those voting against the bill were:
Bailey, Bourne, Buckley. Chamber
lain, Fletcher, Frye. Gallinger, Hey
burn, McEnetry and Oyerman.
