HOUSE AGREES IN
RAILROAD BILL
Passage Early Next Month
Will Insure No Hitch in
Return of Roads.
BY United Press

BY United Press:
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3O.-A final
agreement by senate and ouse
conferees on railroad legislation is
near. it was learned Friday
II Is now believed 10 be virtually
certain that the railroad bill will
be passed early next month, so that
there viii be no hitch in the presi-
dents announced plans 10 return
the lines TO their owners March l.
The overwhelming majority of
congress still favors the return OF
roads to their owners as soon as pos
sible. despite efforts Of labor and
other organizations TO extend gov
eminent control two years in the
hope that the Plumb plan can then
be put into effect.
Republican leaders are determin-
ed TO push the railroad bill through
as soon as possible. and 20 do this
some features of it may be left fOI
later legislation.
Anti-strike legislation probably
will not be in the conference report
Opposed to Action.
Senate leaders by a recent can
vass found that the majority of th'
house is still opposed TO such ac
ton. The plan for dealing with
labor. included in the house bill
which was written by the railroad
brotherhoods, probably VIII b'
slightly modified but It is possibl,
that all labor provisions will b'
! eliminated.
The difficulty between the con
! feres is on section Of the Cum
Minis bill which provides that rate
shall be adjusted so that the rail
roads shall be assured OF a fixed re
turn of ; - percent on their ag
grecate property value. with tn
| provision that the government ma.
divide all profits above this percen
for tho benefit Of the weaker roads
Senate conferees are understoo,
to have agreed 70 abandon the pro
visions OF the Cummins bill pro
viding for a federal transportation

strike provisions, II the house vii

story of Charles Frederick Nirdlinger.
Alma Rubens plays the lead and Montague
Glass and CASTOR Love are prominent in
the cast. 1t is a story of n young woman
who marries rich old man for love AID
her struggles against gossip, despite the
purity of her motives in cOnSenting to the

one until Il series of dramatic circumstances

PRICES ON FILMS 60 UP
Local Exhibitors Say They'll Fight
Against Hiking Admissions.

An increase in the cost of an even
ing out seems almost certain following
the receipt by local motion picture ex-
hibitors of new schedules of prices on
first class attractions to be released
during the coming three months. One
exhibitor shows a list of prices which
indicate an increase of from $50 to 800
per cent over present rentals on films
used here. 1t totals in round num-
bers a cost of $4,000 as the cost to
the exhibitor for a three months pro-
gram.
The cheapest film offered is slated
at 5000 for a three-days' run and the
most expensive at $1,000 for a week S
run and most of the productions Of
fered are for week runs only. In case
they do not take well here, the ex-
hibitor will have to make a change
before his week is out and still pay
the same rental.
The exhibitors declare, they are I'M
able to meet such prices at the present
rate of admission and that they will
fight the hike to the best of their
ability. They take the stand that adj
mission prices to Topeka theaters is
plenty high enough already, but ad-
NIT that for special features from now
on they may be forced to temporarily
raise the price of tickets.
