La Toilette Holds
Up Railroad Bill.
by Quorum Demand

Washington, Dec. S-PasSage OF the
Cummins railroad bill by the Senate
was prevented late today by a de-
mand Of Senator LaFollette, Repub-
lican. Wisconsin, for a quorum. SEN
ate leaders predicted, however. that
the measure. designed to meet con-
ditions incident to the return Of the
railroads to private control and
operation, would pass the Senate
within a day or two.
The Senate had just defeated. in 4
rather perfunctory manner an
amendment by Senator Curtis, Re
publican, Kansas, to eliminate the
entire section providing for the
creation of a transportation board
and the bill was taken out of the
committee of the whole and put be-
fore the Senate for its passage.
The chamber was not half filled
when Vice President Marshall called
for a vote on the bills passage. AMI
it was passed. but before the result
could be announced Senator LaFol-
lette demanded a quorum. This re-
opened the measure for discussion
and amendment and started a sharp
attack on the proposal to delay the
vote after the bill had been contin-
u0usly before the Senate a week.
