RAILROAD BILL PASSES
Rate Making Power Given AbSo-
Iutey to President.
ReVerses Amendment to Keep Author
ity in Interstate Commerce
Commission.

Washington The bill 10 govern fed
eral operation of railroads was passed
by the house by a vote of 337 to 6.
Two Democrats and four RepubIi-
cans voted against the measure when
the final test came. They were Thorn
as, Kentucky. and Gordon, Ohio, Dem
.ocrats. and Chandler, Oklahoma Deni-
son, Illinois; Haugen, Iowa, and Ram
seyer, Iowa, Republicans.
The senate previously had passed
the bill, which Immediately went to
conference for settlement of differ
ences between the two houses. The
house bill provides for the return of
the roads TO their owners two years
Sffef the val ends instead Of IN Is
months, as the senate draft proposes.
and the house measure vests final rate
fixing authority in the president, while
the senate would leave this power in
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
These two sections of the bin dtused
spirited fights in the house. Oppo-
nents of these features won momen-
tary victories when the bill was dis
cdssed in Committee of the Whole.
but on final vote proponents mar
shaIed their forces, mostly on the
Democratic side, and succeeded in put
ting through the bill with these fea-
lures intact, as framed by the COM
mittee.
An amendment, by Representative
Sweet of Iowa, giving the rate max
ing power to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, was adopted in
Committee of the Whole, 164 TO 157.
This showed almost the full strength
for the amendment, as when the vote
was taken on final passage it was de
feated. 165 to 211.
In the Committee of the Whole an
amendment by Representative Esch
of Wisconsin to limit tenure after the
war TO one year was adopted. 133 to
40; but, like the Sweet amendment, it
was thrown out on final passage, 206
to 166.
The. senate bill definitely provides
that the basis of compensation shall
be just return On the average net
operating income for the three years
period ending June 80, 1917, but the
house bill is a little more elastic The
house adopted an amendment which
would give the President discretion
airy power to take into consideration
money spent for Improvements by the
roads between June 80 and December
IS, 1917, the day they were taken over.
