The Colorado statesman., 1919-11-01

The plan OF the senate committee on
Interstate commerce Is to be ready to
report II railroad return bill rs soon us
the treaty is out of the way. This may
mean that II bill will be submitted to
the senate by the first Of next month";
but senators as rule are not very
sanguine that such good progress can
be made with the treaty. Unless the
house committee on Interstate and for
eign commerce shall change its mind
1t will report its conception of what
railroad legislation should be before
the end of this month. Then If the
hopes OF the house leaders are real
lied the house will take recess until
about the middle of November.
Each House Has Railroad Bill.
This would mean that so fur as the
house Is concerned, railroad legislation
would not receive much, If any, atten-
ton before the opening of the regular
session on the first Monday in Decem-
Der. To n considerable extent the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce and the house committee on In
terstate and foreign commerce are
working along the same lines In pre-
pairing railroad legislation, but 1t Is
foreseen that each Dranch Oh tne iesis-
lative body will pass Its own Dill anu
that the responsibility for perfectihg
the legislation will eventually have to
be assumed by a conference commit
tee representing the two houses.
The only thing definitely settled
about railroad Legislation at this time
is that it will not provide for govern
ment ownership. The ROADS VIII go
