RAIL BILL READY
TO BECOME LAW
Senate and House Finally
Reach Agreement After
Lengthy Debate.

Washington, March Final agree
ment on the administration bill to gov
ern federal control of the railroads,
was reached today by the senate and
house conferees. Leaders hoped tonight
to have the measure ready for the
presidents signature by Saturday.
With the exception Of limiting fed
eral control To u months after peace
and providing for the taking over of
short line railroads, the bin is virtu-
ally in the senate form.
The principle dispute between the
conferees, was on rate-fixing and the
eenferees adopted compromise agree
ment under which the president Is
authorized 10 initiate rates subject to
review by the Interstate Commerce
commission. The commission Is re-
CURED, in adjusting rates, to consider
unified operating control, and that re-
adjustments III rates are to obtain ad-
ditionai revenues.
The house provision bringing under
federal control all short lines, which
either connect or compete with roads
already taken over, was accepted by
the conferees, who also inserted into
the bin a provision limiting the ratio
of taxation OF railroad property In the
various states to q rate not higher than
that for the year previous to taking
over the roads.
