REVENUE BILL ARGUED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.- Senators Pcnrose and Sherman, Republicans consumed most Of the time in today's debate on the revenue bill. The Penn sylvania senator concluded a speech against the measure begun yesterday taking the proposed munitions and in heritance taxes. He also criticized the tariff commission to be created in the bill.
 The tariff commission paragraph said the senator, "is not of any very great importance. It apparently is put in merely as a measure to attract and mislead Republicans. In fact there has been propaganda through out the country in favor of tariff com mission. This provision in the pend ing bill supplies a popular catchword which is meaningless and ineffective If the Republicans be restored to power. they will doubtless provide for a tariff commission which will pro-

It is known. however, that if the railroad heads insist upon the formation of a federal commission for the investigation of labor differ ences before strike is called, as re ports have it they will vigorous op- position will be started by the broth erhOOds.
 Fear of embarrassing the President as well as injuring their own cause today quieted the ''insurgent' broth erhood element who yesterday for a time threatened to disrupt the calm daily meetings of the employees with their demands for action. As a result the gathering today was peaceful and adjournment was taken until tomor- row morning at 10 o'clock without a sign of protest.
 The leaders had pointed out to the insurgents that thus far in the nego- tiations the weight of the Presidents services had been with the men and that they should not do anything to emharrass him.
 There were no capitol conferences regarding the threatened strike today the members of both houses awaiting the result of the negotiations by the President which they hoped would prove successful. At the capitol it was thought that while no plans were agreed upon yesterday in event of the failure of the negotiations to avert a strike, no one would be sur priscd at steps that would be pro

can count upon freight rate increase Presidents and managers agree that the operating problem presented is one of the most complicated they have ever undertaken. There seems to be a general opinion that the eight hour day must be granted, but roads which are now operating on only a narrow margin of profit or on which the physical differences are unusual, present serious problems to be over come The effort has been to in clude in the eight hour concessions solution of some other question such as overtime pay, etc, which might make it less expensive to the rail roads. There were reports tonight that some of the executives still are unalterably opposed to granting the eight hour day under any circumstanc es, and might attempt to force de cision which would bring the negotia- tions to an end one way or another.
 An estimate of the ultimate cost was given the President
 President Wilson is said to have taken the position that the freight rate increase will be forthcOmins be cause the weight of public opinion will back the eight hour day, and will also back any plan to give the rail roads the revenue to provide for the added expense.
 Statements were issued tonight by President Pennington of the Minneap- oils, St Paul and Sault Ste Marie and President P. R. Albright, general manager of the Atlantic Coast Line. emphasizing the railroad view of the additional cost to them of an eight hour day MT Pennington said for the railroads to accept something which would cause them to spend S50,000,000 more annually, would SC riously affect their credit He point ed out that in 1907 the railroads earned 5.S5 percent on their invest ment, in 1913 493. in 1914 3.94 per Ctlil, anu III A5lo f-Vf ptlNtul- Dc spite a large increase in earnings the past year, he added. incomplete re turns show probable rate for 1916 of about $50 percent.
 MT Albright said if the eight hour day is adopted and the present stan dard run for a day of 100 miles ;s retained it will mtan an increase for engineers on his road from Q minimum of $5.25 per day to $7.1S per day.
 Hope was high among botherhood men tonight that satisfactory set tlement would be reached tomorrow Assurances from their leaders, after the visit paid them by Judge Cham bers early in the day with a message from the White House, that the out look was favorable, comforted them. The men maintained that they receiv. ed no details of the judges commu- nicatiOn but they were satisfied with their leaders optimism The lead CTS declined to comment, but all or them wore broad smiles and said that the negotiations would soon end
 We have our ears to the ground, '' was the way A. B. Garretson summed up the situation. That, save for his statement earlier in the day that the message conveyed by Judge Cham bers certainly was not depressing was the only comment he had to make throughout the day.
