WASHINGTON, May 3.--The senate
insurgents. led by Cummins. Of iowa
have won over the regulars in their
lsht against certain sections Of Pres

and mergers will be abandoned.
Practically nothing distinctive of the
original bill will remain. save the sec

court OF commerce. Even that has

fail IN conference.
So serious became the situation Of
the hill late Yesterday that Mr.. Taft.
in Pittsburg, was advised of the sitGa-

Aldrich.
Despairing OF putting the bill
through the senate in the form in
which ii was reported from the com
mittee on interstate commerce the
leaders in this conference last night
decided 10 eliminate section Z. which
the insurgents assert practically
would have repealed the Sherman
antitrust law by permitting traffic
agree ments, and section y, which
would have legalized mergers in
cases where one railroad corporation
owning already 80 per cent Of another
desired to control outright.
