Senate PASSES
MEASURE FORU.S.
RAIL OPERATION
Bill as Adopted Includes $780,
100000 Revolving Fund and
Federal Control 13 Months
After War.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The ad-
ministration bill, providing for gov
ernment control of railroads until l8
months after the war, including many
short lines" and appropriating re-
volving fund of $50O,0OO,O0O for fed
eral operation, was passed today by
the senate without a roll call.
1t now awaits action in the house
where it is under debate.
Both senate and house worked
through todays holiday to expedite
the legislation. General debate was
concluded in the house and arrange
ments made to consider amendments
tomorrow under a fve-minute rule
with a view to final action early next
week. Difference between the senate
and house drafts then will be adjusted
in conference.
The only amendment radically
changing the compromise draft pro-
vided for inclusion of short line"
railroads in federal control and bene-
fit.
Ownership Advocates Quiet.
Provision of the committee COM
promise fixing the compensation Of
railroads on the three-year basis, pro-
viding the $500,000,000 revolving fund
appropriation, authorizing the presi-
dent to fix rates subject to Interstate
Commerce commission veto and limit
ing government control to Is months
after the war, all were retained by
the senate.
Amendments to reduce the period
of control after peace is declared

Senator King of Utah to make the

Mines TO WORK
At FuLL SPEED
DURING SPRING
Nebraska Fuel Administrator
Returns From Big Confer
enCe and Urges. .ConSum-
erS to Put in Supply.

Coal mines over the middle west
will be worked to full capacity dur
ing the early spring months and deal
ers and consumers urged to lay in a
large supply, declares John L. Ken
nedy, Nebraska fuel administrator,
who returned from the Kansas City
conference of fuel dictators from
seven states Friday morning.
Kennedy attended a meeting held
there Thursday, called to consider the
fuel situation. 1t was by far the most
important fuel administration meeting
yet held in the west. Fuel admins
traitors for seven states were present
or represented. Deputy distributors
from the producing states in the dis
trict were present as were numerous
railroad officials and wholesale and
retail coal dealers. H. N. Taylor of
Kansas City, district representative,
presided.
Summer Storage Urged.
The early summer storage plan re-
ceived the most attention. Other i'm
portant problems were very fully dis
cussed, such as the weighing of coal
in transit, reconsignments, distribu-
ton of cars and pooling of railroad
equipment. 49,
1t is expected that DR.. Garfield will
put into effect at an early date slid
ing scale of reduced prices, to en-
courage dealers and consumers alike
to lay in a large supply of coal dur
ing the early summer months. This
plan will keep the mines working to
