CUMMINS URGES
 SENATE HASTEN
 RAILROAD BILL
DECLARES THAT TWO-THIRDS OF COUNTRY'S RAILROADS WILL GO INTO HANDS OF RECEIVER UNLESS HIS MEASURE IS MADE INTO LAW.

WASHINGTON, Dec. To- (Py Alarmed at the opposition that threatens to delay il not actually de feat his pet scheme for solving the country's railway problem, Senator Cummins, republican of Iowa, came to the defense of the measure, and urging the senate to take immediate favorable action on it, declaring that failure to pass the bill would throw two-thirds Of the railroads of the United States into the hands of re- ceiyers in less than 30 days after they were returned to their owners. The argument of the senator appar- entIy failed to meet any of the ob- jecuons of the opposition senators who include prominent members of his own party and it is still predict ed that no action will be had on the measure until after the holiday re- cess when leaders of the party say
 
 ficient strength to pass it,
 The railroads are to revert to priv ate ownership and control on Jan uary 1, 1920 Unless the Cummins bill is enacted, or other legislation to that effect, it will be impossible for the roads to make the advances in rates which they assert is abso- lutely necessary to meet the radically increased cost of operation resulting from higher wages to employees of all classes and higher markets upon which they must make their pur- chases. The opposition to the Cum mins bill is fighting it on the ground that these increased costs will be taken out of the general public under such a measure and will result in further increase to the present high cost of living.
