CONGRESS TO HURRY
ROADS RETURN BILL
Committees Expected to Offer
Measures Soon i'm Both
Senate and House.
spscioi Despa.ch TO The suS.

WARRINGTON, Oct. 19.--Efforts to
speed up the legislation considered
necessary for the operation of the rail-
roads after their return to their owners
on January /, 1920, will be made by
Senate and House leaders during the
coming week. The completed bill OF the
Senate Interstate Commerce COMMITTEES
probably will be presented to the
Senate during the week. while the sub
committee of the House Interstate Com
merce Committee has promised its rec
concentrations in the form of a complete
bill to be submitted to the full committee
the latter part Of the week.
Because of the time required for con-
sideration of the treaty in the Senate
leaders have little hope of passing a rail-
road bill at the special session. but
everything possible will be done so the
measure may be sent to the President
soon after the opening OF the regular
session. Consideration of the Senate bill
will be delayed until after the peace
treaty Is disposed Of, but there is a
strong sentiment among House leaders
to partly consider the House measure
within the next two weeks SO that time
may be saved in the regular session.
However. Chairman Esch (wis.) of the
House committee does not, expect to have
the bill before the House earlier than
November 1. II no agreement concern
ing adjournment Is reached by the time
the bill is reported its consideration will
be started.
Indications are that there will be sew
eral wide differences in the Senate and
yIAtYu
will require long conferences to smooth
out.
Tho Senate committee favors a trans
portation board TO have charge of labor
problems. the disposition of excess earn
ings and other matters. IN the House
subcommittee opinion Is strongly

with greater powers to act than it had
before the war. The position of the
House members is that division of
powers will only result in confusion and
that the experience of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in handling rail-
road matters should be considered a
valuable asset.
The Senate committee also has gone
on record for a guaranteed minimum
rate return on the aggregate amount
invested in railroad property IN each
classification territory. This guarantee
was fixed at 5ll per cent. Here again
the House subcommittee is understood
To differ. 1t is opposed to guarantee,
but thinks the whole problem of rates
and returns should be left to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
The House subcommittee has not vet
tackled the important problem of the

tee in approving anti-strike legislation
will be recommended to some extent to
the lower body.

Geological Survey. The threatened coal
strike has the effect of stimulating both
buying and production in all kinds OF
coal, the reports state, and bituminous
production during the week of October

report says:
''rhe production Of bituminous coal
rose to a new high record for the year
during the week ended October IL. The
curve of average daily output has left
the line OF 1917 far behind and now
threatens to overtake the course Of ths
1913 line. The weeks production is es-
timated at 11,924.oo0 tons, or greater by
$1,000 tons than that of tho first week
In October, which had hitherto been the
highest this year.
The record could not have been
achieved had not all the agencies af-
fecting production lent hearty assistance

Specia, DespatcA TO TIE Sun


ALBANY, Oct. 1s-The State Indus
trial Commission disagrees with Jere-
miah F. Conner. the special Investigator
named by Gov. Smith to investigate the
State wcrkmen's compensation insurance
fund. and says to the Governor:
I'VE believe we have demonstrated
that the State Insurance fund is eff
ciently, honestly and economically ad-
ministered that the fund is solvent that
its reserves are adequate beyond perad-
venture that on the whole the pre-
miums which employers have been re-
ouired to pay for Insurance in the fund
were hot higher than necessary to give
adequate protection to injured workmen
and to the dependents of worlsmen who
have been killed; that considering the
handicaps under which the fund was
established and has operated a satisfac-
tory volume OF business has been Sc
cured: that the system of groupipg Is
both legal and advantageous: that the
medical service Of the fund Is economi-
cal. prompt and efficient; that on the
whole the interests OF workmen and en-
ployers alike have been safeguarded and
promoted, and that the wisdom of the
people of the State OF New York in
establishing an insurance fund operated
without profit has been indicated"
The report shows that in spite of the
fact that the State insurance fund got
late start, being ready to sell insur-
once less than two months before the
compensation law became operative,
each year has seen a substantial in
, crease In the net premiums written,
the total business since 1914 being
