HOUSE ABANDONS
PLANS FOR RECESS
Minority Leader Mann Refuses to Yield
in His Efforts to Wait for Senate
on Currency.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Plans of admin
istration leaders in the House for a
thirty day recess were abandoned yes
terday because Republican leader Mann
refused to yield in his determination to
Keep the House in session as long as the
Senate awaits action on the currency
bill in committee.
Il am willing to stake my legislative
Judgment for all time To come on the
proposition that the currency bill will
not be reported as the president says,
the first week in November or that it
win be passed in the Senate within
three weeks thereafter" declared Mr..
Mann. Il am also willing to stake my
Judgment on the proposition that it will
not be passed in December. Everybody
knows, except the president, that the
bill will not be passed now, and if Con-
gress wants to submit to the direction
of the president and remain in session,
we ought to fish or cut bait. If the re-
ports of an ambitious legislative pro-
gram next winter are true, Congress had
better get busy on it now or it will be
here next year at this time"

absentees, but it was taken up and Wig

Cummins, Republicans, and others. SEN
ator Cummins said the body had allowed
itself to get into a "humiliating posi-

members should be kept in Washington
and compelled to take up many import
ant subjects. Il am in favor OF the
exercise of all the powers at Our COM
mand to bring quorum here" declared
Senator Kern, the Democratic leader.
1T would be most unfortunate for us
to surrender to the absentees and give

Minneapolis, Dec. 2S.-B. H. Meyer
Of the interstate commerce commits
sion in an address before the twenty
sixth annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Economic association. declared
that the uniform rate scale for all
railroads was not practical, possible
nor is it necessarily desirable.
Mr.. Meyer referred to government
ownership as the possible final out
come of increasing government regu-
lation. but that, he asserted, would
not put to end to rate problems.
THE Kaleidoscope nature Of facts
which enter into particular rate prob
lens always. probably will defeat ev-
cry attempt to impose uniform rates
upon traffic throughout the United
States" Meyer said. ut. however. is
more important that justice be MAIN
tanned than that some specific stand
ard be promulgated. The most im-
portant single factor is fair or final
value, which we hope will be known
soon. Outstanding securities against
property should receive no considera-
ton in the establishment Of rates.
The cost of service is an important
factor, but it is a fact and common
knowledge that the science of cost
accounting has been applied to every
important branch of industry except
