NEAR VOTE ON
RAILROAD BILL.
Continued from Page One.

ton of the BILL which will be reported at
once TO the postoffice committee.
The bill, which is part OF the prcsi-
dents legislative programme, already has
passed the senate. There are some inn
portant differences between the measure
as II passed the senate and that agreed
upon at the Republican caucus Of the
house last night,
The senate bill left the postal savings
bank funds on deposit in the banks local
10 the territory in which tho postofficc
was located. without any provision for
depositing any of the money In banks
cept In case Of war or other emergency.
The Martin amendment. which sought
to restrict this 10 the local banks the
same as the senate provided, was voted
down In the house caucus before the di-
vision of 50 per cent in the local banks,
30 per cent in outside banks and . per
cent as permanent reserve fund In the
treasury was agreed upon.
The Democrats on the house postoiftce
committee have not had anything TO do
with the making OF the bill. and II is not
known what attitude they Will take
towards the measure.
Chief interest centers In the rule which
Chairman Weeks will ask for the con-
rules committee may be asked for
special rule limiting the time OF debate
and prohibiting entirely the offering of
amendments.
Much doubt Is expressed whether such
a rule would be adopted by the house.
Many ''insurgent" Republicans would
vote against II, and these. combined with
the Democratic vote, make the PROPOSE
ton uncertain.

seemed willing to give railroads rights
they would not accord the shippers.

WILL NOT INSIST
ON ANTI-INJUNCTION

WASHINGTON, June 2.-There has
been no antl-injunction legislation In the
house at the present session. President
Taft himself has consented to the
abandonment OF this feature OF his legls-
Iative programme and no further effort
at urging IL viii be made by members OF
the house.
The administration bill introduced by
Representative Moon (Rep) OF Pennsyl-
vania chairman on revision OF laws. had
been reposing for several months In the
judiciary committee and II finally has
been decided 10 allow II to remain there.
Numerous reasons for the failure OF
this legislation at the present session are
toward the close Of the session and the
time required by the postal savings bill
are the principal causes. II Is stated:
for the abandonment OF the anti-injunc-
tion bill. II is hoped TO bring IL up carly
during the next session.
