SENATE TOPASS
R.R. BILL WITHOUT
IMPORTANT CHANGE

With the Senate planning to take
an early vote on the railroad bill,
probably on Thursday afternoon Of
this week. indications today became
more pronounced that it will pass
with little change.
The Administration will succeed In
heving its compensation plan put
through. In spite of pronounced feel
ing among many OF the progressives
at both ends of the Capitol against a
Government guarantee OF the aver
GEe of the net operating income for
the three-year period ended last June
30. II will stand. Some Of the sup
porters OF this proposition point out
that the bill really leaves It in the
discretion OF the President to TX the
guarantee at that amount, but as
the President has gone on record for
IL, It will undoubtedly be Ned at
that figure.
Efforts will be made before the bill
passes the Senate to restore the pro-
vision that Government control OF
the railroads shall end after the war
only when Congress so directs Sen
ator Johnson of South Dakota has Of
fered such an amendment and will
force a vote on II. A sharp contest
will be caused by this amendment and
also over the question OF what shall
be the power of the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Senators who are opposed to the
plan OF the Administra-
tion with respect to the railroads
said today that the last word on the
subject would not be said when the
bill was passed. They said they
would carry the issue to the public
in the coming campaign and would
cause members who voted for the
proposed in the measure to
do plenty of explaining to their con
stituents.
Senator Cummins. who has led in
the Senate in denOuncing the guar
antee proposed. conceded today 1t
would be put through. but he predict
ed il would cause profound dissatis-
faction, and that the people of the
Middle West would have no trouble
the issue.
1.-The Senate may refuse to consider
this matter, but the people OF the
West will consider it," he
said.
