Twelve hundred thousand omelets

According to a bulletin issued by

in all. were shipped from Texas alone
between January l and February IL.

.CONFEREES DEBATE
RAILROAD MEASURE
Cannot Agree Upon Provision Fix.
ing Rate Making Power.

. Conferees on the railroad bill spent
yesterday in spirited argument upon
whether President Wilson or the In
terstate Commerce Commission shall
fix rates. and adjourned still far from
an agreement.
Senator Smith proposed several
compromises, following a conference
with the President, but all were un-
availing. Negotiations seemed to be
drifting toward an agreement that
the commission should have very
wide advisory powers, with the Pres
ident having authority to overrule
it only in emergency.
The probability is that two years

the period for holding the roads after

Following an all-day solitary ses-

every detail OF any data bearing on

II. Bethel, president Of the c. &,P,

his stand would be ito protect the
interests Of the company to, the best
of his ability when 1t came to con-
alteration by any Senate committee
of Postmas ster General Burieson's Of
fer to take over the local service.
Awaits Developments.
Mr.. Bethel stated that he would
not ask for a hearing Of the phone
company's end Of the public owner
ship question. until some definite
stand had been taken by men on
Capitol Hill. "As soon as q commit
tee takes up the Buf1eson offer for
consideration, will request a hear
ing for the phone company's stand.
Mr.. Bethel declared. y
Mr.. Bethel was inaccessible yes
terday but what he thinks OF the
statement Of Postmaster General
Burleson, may be found in this state
ment issued from his office:
I'VE patiently awaited the reply OF
the Postmaster General to the Sen
ate resolution. That reply has been
made, and to our great astonishment
contains little or nothing more than
the testimony presented by David j.
Lewis before the House Committee on
the District Of Columbia In support
of a bill which he, as a member OF
Congress, had introduced"
Mr.. Bethel declares that there is
an honest difference OF opinion with
respect to government ownership. and
that he has no quarrel with those
who believe in 1t.
'T do, however," he says, object
to the proposition that after the prop
erIy constituted authority, the public
utilities commission, has found that
the company is entitled to relief, 1t
must be denied that relief until the
broad principle Of government own
ership is settled by Congress.
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, father
Of bill now before the Senate Com
mittee on Postoffices to provide for
the taking over of tho system by the
Postoffice Department, announced
yesterday that he would make an at
tempt to speed up government owner
ship legislation.
May Force Decision.
The Gore bill has been in the hands
of the committee for almost three
months. Senator Gore will probably
ask the chairman OF the committee
considering his bill what progress has
been made and thus try to force its
consideration out of the hands of this
committee and get a vote on II by the
Senate in committee of the whole.
Postmaster General Burleson is
awaiting action by the Senate. The
position OF his offer now Is that his
proposal has been ordered printed by
the Senate. The Senate will consider
the resolution following its printing
After consideration it will probably
be referred to a committee. When
this takes place hearings will most
likely be held. at which the guns Of
the phone company will be allowed
to defend private ownership against
government control.
