RAILWAY BILL
In A TANCLE
Regulars in the Senate Ready
to Make Heavy Sacrifices
NO ASSURANCE THAT
LAW WILL BE PASSED

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Driven 10
the wal and forced to sue for terms,
the Senate regulars, humiliated and
with a striking absence of their old
time dominating tactics entered the
fight for the Taft Elkns Railroad bill
today, ready to make heavy sacrifices
IN AN effort to save at least a shat
tered remnant of the measure. The
differences i'm the Senate and House
bills threatened the defeat of all rail
road legislation at this session. The
Senate regulars I'M an effort to avert
complete failure have agreed to sur
jl-nder two of the most important sec
tions of their bill and it appeared to-
oes Iurther concessions in all proba
bility would be demanded of them
before the final vote.
Aldrich and his cabinet or about
ten leading Republican senators are
busy devising means of procedure. The
section of the bill designed to give
railroads authority to enter into agree
ments as to rates and classifications
was abandoned. For ten days that sec
lion ha sheen debated in the Senate
most of the talk consisting of fierce
condemnation of the action Of authors
of the bill in attempting to repeal the
Sherman Antitrust law so far as
it related to railroad agreements.
In the Taft Elkins bill It was pro-
Vidcd that such agreements could go
into effect without action by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. An
amendment was introduced providing
that such agreements could not go into
effect before being approved by the
commission. 1t was beaten by mar
row margin but Senator Cummins inn
mediately presented his amendment in
a modified form and that reopened
the fight.
Then in the face of another battle
the regulars hoisted the white flag
OF all the provisions in the bill this
was the one most desired by the rail-
roads It was also determined in ons
Aldrich council to abandon the sec
tion which provides terms for the mer.
ger of railroads. The three sections
of the bill providing for the super
vision of the issue Of railroad stool
and bonds by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, may have TO be droppv,
by the regulars in order to save any
thing at all Then all that will bi
lcft of the Senate bill will be the sec
tions creating a commerce court; Civ
ing power TO the Interstate Com
morce Commission TO initiate insesti
cations on its own complaints. maiSini
II obligatory upon railroads TO quot
rates correctly to shippers and pro
viding for a sixty-day suspension o
rates pending investigation by tn
commission
Even the sacrifices necessary 10 ge
some kind of bill through the Senat
do not insure the enactment of z
railroad law. The House Railroad
bil i'm its present form will never b
accepted by the Senate It provide
for the physical valuation of railroads
II is said that friends of the trans
portation companies" in the Senat
would die in a ditch" before the
would allow such a provision to &
into the statute books. The Hous
i'm committee of the whole has adopte
other amendments only slightly les
Objectionable to some senators.

Money Needed for Good Work.

Twelve years ago, Massachusetts,
made the first appropriation for a
state sanitarium. Since that time,
over $1O.O0O.OOO has been appropri-
ated by state legislatures for the pre-
vention of tuberculosis, and about an
equal sum by municipal and county
authorities. The federal government
has over $1.OO0,O00 invested in tuber.
culosis hospitals, and spends annually
about 100000 In their maintenance.
Every year the percentage of appro-
priations made from public funds for
tuberculosis work has increased.
While private societies have led the
way in the tuberculosis campaign,
every effort has been made to have
states, cities and counties do their
share. A bulletin of the national as
sociation states that the final success
of the anti-tuberculosis crusade de-
pends on every city and state provid-
ing funds to treat and prevent con-
sumption.
