WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Because of the absence of Senator Chamber lain the conference committee, ap- pointed by the two branches of con- gress to adjust the differences in the Chamberlain railroad bill as passed by the Senate and that amended by the House, merely discussed the bill at the meeting Saturday and so far today have not reported on the bill.
