ONE COMMITTEE
TO FREE TOLLS
House Body Recommends the
Repeater With Only Four
Dissenting Votes
REAL FIGHT MAY
COME In SENATE
By the United Press.

WASHINGTON. Mar. Respond
ing to President Wilson's message
for repeal OF the free tolls clause Of
the Panama Canal act, the House in
terstate commerce committee favor
ably reported the Sims repeal resolu-
tion. Only four committeeman voted
against Il, Representatives Doremus,
of Michigan; Knowland. of Califor-
mia; Lafierty, Of Oregon, and Hamu-
ton, OF Michigan.
Chairman Adamson will now initi-
ate the legislation in the House.
When IL will be permitted TO come up
depends upon Democratic Leader Un-
derwood, who rs opposed TO the re-
peal. That the question Will be
shunted Off until after the admins
tration antitrust program is acted
upon was apparent today.
This means that action may be
postponed until June or July.
II Il passes the House, as SCENT
probable, the big fight will center II
the Senate, where the President
must have Republican aid and votes
to pass IL.
A new plan was discussed toda,
10 repeal the free tolls clause. Som'
Democratic chieftains suggested that
instead Of a straight-out repeal,
resolution might be passed whicl
would give tho President the sol
power TO FIX or exempt tolls from al
vessels.
