GOVERNMENT CONTROL
WOULD EXTEND 10
MONTHS AFTER WAR.
AMENDMENTS FAIL
Bill Will Probably be Passed
By House Early Part of This
Week.

Washington, Feb. 23.--The admin
i, ration bill providing for govern
ment control of railroads until 18
months after the war, including
many "short lines" and appropriat-
ing revolving fund of $50O,OO0,-
900 for federal operation was passed
Friday by the Senate without a roll
call, and now awaits action in the
House, where it is under debate.
Both Senate and House worked
through Fridays holiday to expedite
the legislation General debate was
concluded Friday in the House and
arrangements made to consider
amendments today under five-min-
ute debate rule, with view to final
action early next week. Differences
between the Senate and House drafts
then will be adjusted in conference.
Neither on final passage nor on
numerous roll calls Friday in the
Senate was there any record OF SEN
timent on the bill as a whole. The
agreement of the Senate interstate
commerce commission, under which
the compromise draft was brought
in, virtually precluded important
revision. The only amendment rad
ically changing the compromise
draft provided for Inclusion Of short
line" railroads in federal control and
benefits.
Provisions oi the comprami fix
ing the compensation of railroads. TO
the three year basis, providing the
$5O0,O00, 900 fund appropriation,
authorizing the president to initiate
rates subject to Interstate Commerce
Commission veto and limiting gov
ernment control to 18 months after
the war, all were retained by the
Senate.
Amendments to reduce the period
of control after peace is declared
failed. One by Senator Lodge, OF
Massachusetts, to make the time limit
six months instead of Is months,
was defeated AZ to 2S, and another
by Senator King of Utah, to make
the period IL months, likewise was
rejected, As to 20.

STRIBLING FAVORS
HIGHER PENSIONS
SENATOR FROM LOWNDES SUP.
PORTS MEASURE TO GIVE
VETERANS MORE MONEY.

Hon. VIM. P. Stribling, the eff
cient and popular representative OF
Lowndes county in the state senate,
made ringing speech on the floor
of the senate last Wednesday in
favor of increasing the pension fund
for Confederate Veterans. Com
menting upon the discussion of the
bill, the Jackson Clarion-Ledger of
Thursday says:
"The Senate then proceeded to
state legislating and Senator Vance
called up the Confederate pension
bill, which carries total of $925.000
for the two years. The committee
had an amendment to make it 5000
0tG per annum and Senator Vance
moved that the vote by which the
bill failed to pass a few days ago be
reconsidered. The Senator from
Pickens chimed in with a plea fol
the pensioners declaring that he
could not agree to cut the expense
of the old Gray Clad Veterans,
Senator Stribling, Of Lownde'
spoke for several minutes regarding
the committee increase, and was ir
favor of the state passing such> 9
bill to reward the Old Veterans. HI
So d the added thousands would moi
throw the state into bankruptcy
and would help the surviving few tc
a great extent.
''Dr. Hendricks motion to appro
pirate s559,Q0O per year instead Of
the maximum amount was then Of
fered and adopted On passage Of
the bill it failed by one vote of Sc
curing the constitutional require
ment and a motion to reconsider wa
entered"
