RAYBURN STOCK-BOND
RAILROAD BILL ALIVE
Senator Newlands May Amend It to
Divide,and Increase I. G. O.
Membership.

While there appears little probability
that the Rayburn bill providing for the
supervision of all stock and bond is-
sues of railroads by the Interstate
commerce commission will be taken up
in the Senate at the present session,
Senator Newlands. chairman of the In
terstate commerce committee. 10 far
from believing that the bill IL dead
issue.
The statement of the President in his
address to Congress last Tuesday to
the effect that no further legislation
affecting business was to be expected
seemed to make certain the death of
the Rayburn bill. But Senator New
lands. after a visit to the White House.
declared that it was not the intention
to throw the stock and bond bill over
board
The interstate commerce commission
is overburdened with work at present.
said Senator Newlands. land it Is per-
haps not an Opportune time to enact
into law a bill which will place more
work upon the sohoulders of the com
mission. But that does not mean that
the stock and bond issue bill will not
be taken up in the future"
Increase and Divide Commission.
Senator Newlands said that he had
discussed with the President plan
for increasing the membership of the
interstate commerce commission from
seven to nine members, and for divid-
ing the commission into sections to
look after the various kinds OF work
assigned to 1t.
One section of the commission" said
Senator Newlands, could devote its
time to railroad rates. another to the
physical valuation of railroads. and a
third to supervising the issues of Sc
curities by the railroads. as provided
under the Rayburn bill. OF course, the
commission could at times sit as
whole-very properly should: and also
1t would be advantageous to change
the kind of work of the various Sec
tions from time to time"
Senator Newlands said that it was
highly probable that an amendment
would be offered to the Rayburn bill
providing for an increase in the mem
bership Of the commission and its sub
division into sections as outlined by
him. He will call a meeting of the in
terstate commerce committee to con-
slider the matter and also what dispo-
sition shall be made of the Rayburn
bill at the present session.

The orders for action came with un-

The landing was undertaken immedi-

sorroWing relatives and friends.

of appeals held that sentence should be
imposed under a section of the criminal
code which requires the charging and
proving of an overt act in furtherance of
the conspiracy.
