President Satisfied to Leave Pre-.
rogative in Hands Of Commerce

WILL HELP IN LEGISLATION
Senate Committee Writes in Bill
10 Months Provision to Re-

WILL HELP IN LEGISLATION

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2.-Pros,
poets Of an early agreement in con-
gress on the administration railroad
bill frightened Friday when members
Of the senate interstate commerce
committee returned from white
house conference with word that the
president did not desire to have the
interstate commerce commission de.
prived of its rate making powers un-
der government operation of the car
riers.
Soon after the conference the COM
mittee wrote into the bill provisions
limiting government control OF rail
roads to eighteen months after the
war and authorizing the president to
initiate rates subject to appeal to the
interstate commerce commission. This
proposal, which was adopted by a
vote Of II to T. was compromise OF
the committees differences and elimi-
mates the most serious obstacle to
prompt enactment Of the measures.
Difficulties lroned Out
The agreement was prepared by a
subcommittee consisting Of Senators
Robinson and Townsend appointed to
iron out the difficulties over the fixing
of a period for government operation
and opposition to giving the president
power to fix rates. Those voting in
favor of the compromises were Sena
tors Smith. Chairman. of South Car
DINA; PomereneS Meyers, Robinson,
Salisbury, Thompson, Lewis and I'm
derwOod, democrats, and Townsend,
Watson and Kellogg, republicans
Those opposed were Senators Gore,
democrat, and Cummins, POindeXter
and LaFOllette, republicans.
Before the agreement was submitted
to the committee, it was taken to the
white house by Chairman Smith and
Senator Underwood.
As Finally Approved.
AS finally approved the bill will
provide that government control OF
transportation shall continue for eigh
teen months after the war terminates
instead of until congress shall there
after order otherwise as originally
drawn, or for one year as provided by
earlier in the week. It gives the presi
dent authority to initiate rates, as the
railroads are empowered to do unde'
the existing laws, bu tif either the
carriers or shippers object, an appeal
can be taken to the committee which
continues during the period of federal
control instead of during the war as
has been suggested.
Report Next Week
The committee continued its consid
GRAFTON of other features of the bill.
Chairman Smith hopes to be able to
report to the senate early next week.
Discussion of the bill continued to
day in the house committee and while
there was some opposition to any lin
itation of government operations, most
of the members seemed to favor a pro-
posal that the government control be
limited to two years after radication
of the treaty of peace. 1t was unani-
mously agreed that the committee
vote by p. m. tomorrow on the ques.

tonight at the close Of a prolong-
ed conference between Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield and Director

every indication that both otlic-

Of the plant as rapidly as it is planned
to produce the completed product at
the other. The whole number OF
boats contracted for will be under pro.
duction simultaneously at one stage.
The design was worked out to re.
1uce to a minimum the necessity OF
shaping plates. There are many fiat
surfaces to the vessel on that ac-
count, bent and curved plates hav-
ing been avoided wherever possible.
The power will be furnished by
geared turbines and since stability

freak performance, no effort has
been made to 60 beyond t. safe and
conservative speed estimate.
The boats will all be fabricated at
the Ford plant, progressing by stages
until they are launched at Detroit, to
be brought to the sea via the canal
system and inland waterways. They
will measure 200 feet and displace
about 500 tons. which insures easy
passage to the sea.
The number of boats ordered has
not yet been revealed, but only sub
stantial order would justify the pre-
parations for production which must
be made.

"HeatIess Holidays" Abandoned

Zen neatleSS MONDAY were Qecreeu
by the fuel administration January II
as a measure to save coal and to re-
lieve railroads transportation. Next
Monday will be the third observed.
The Monday holidays were preceded
by five day industrial shutdown at
the close of which eastern railroads
at the direction of Director General
McAdoo put on embargoes against the
movement of general freight.
The Monday closing has brought the
most vigorous opposition from COM
mercial interests, particularly the big
department stores. The small stores,
too, have opposed it, as have the
owners Of office buildings. Theatres
succeeded in having the day as ap-
piled to them changed to Tuesday
Reason for Decision.
1t was stated officially tonight that
the reason a final decision was not
reached was because complete reports
have not as yet been received show
ing the exact results of the five day
closing, and the effects of operation
of the embargoes to date. Both Mr..
McAdoo and DR.. Garfield, are of the
opinion however, it was said, that
since the coal problem is largely one
of transportation, embargoes will
bring results without continuance Of
the Monday closing. Nine days en-.
forcement of the embargoes, it is held,
has improved the situation as much as
would an observance of nine heatless
Mondays, although bad weather condi-
tions have sloyed up coal movements
Transportation Troubles End.
Officials of the railroad administra-
ton believe a return of good weather
will speedily restore the transporta-
ton system and that this will solve
the fuel problem. They say that the
Monday closing has disorganized in
dustrial activities and actually has
hampered railroad operation by max
ing it impossible to load and unload
cars promptly.
AT a conference here next Monday
of thirteen state fuel administrators,
called today, DR.. Garfield expects to
get complete information on the coal
situation and to learn the exact ef-
fects of the closing order.
