Senator Hitchcock, Administrative
leader tonight predicted defeat of the
Fall resolution.
RESOLUTION is DEAD
1.-The Republicans thought they had
put President Wilson in a difficult
POSITION" said Senator Hitchcock, re-
ferring to the sending of the sub-com-
n,ittee to the White House yesterday.
They found they had created a diff
cult situation for themselves instead.
The Fall resolution is dead, in my
opinion"
! Senator Hitchcock said that in his
belief the reported freeing of Jenkins
on bail will have no effect on the sit
4 uation. Senator Fall took the view
| that if Jenkins was released on bail
leaving him at liberty only until his
trial, this governments demand for
his unconditional release, remains un-
answered just as though Jenkins were
still in JAIL
Fall expects President Wilson to

such new schedule as increased to be

1.-THE company desires to continue
the present schedule Of, rates and
makes application to this commission
that it be permitted to file the pres
ent schedule and put the same into
effect Immediately upon the company
coming again under private control.
This is in effect a re-filing Of the
identical rates put into effect and
continued by direction of the post
master general. It might be sup
posed that IL no new Ming was made
the rates lawfully in existence on the
last moment of July 81, 1919. would,
in the absence Of some action ON the
part of the company or this COM
mission become the lawful rates and
continue to be such on and after
August l, 1919, but it is apparent
that some doubt exists as to what
would be the lawful rates unless this.
fling were made, and to remove all
possible doubt the company prefers
to make the filing. If the rates are
to be continued the filing must be
upon less than statutory notice.
I'm permitting the schedules to be
SO filed we are not to be understood
as in any way approving them. The
company in its memorandum, filed as
a part Of its application, sets forth
various reasons why the 20 per cent.
increase put in effect by the post
master general should be continued.
In the absence of full information we
do not pass upon these reasons and
express no opinion regarding the
reasonableness of the rates filed. We
simply permit them to be filed on
less than statutory notice, reserving
to ourselves and the public full right
with reference to complaint"
