RAIL TURNOVER
MARCH1LIKELY
WITHOUT HITCH
COnferees Reported Near
Agreement on Necessary
Legislation.
FAVORED BY CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, Jan. S0.-A final agree
ment by senate and house conferees on
railroad legislation is near, it was
learned today.
It is now believed to be virtually GER
tain that the railroad bill will be passed
early next month, so there will be no
hitch in the presidents announced plans
to 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 possible, despite eff
forts Of labor and other organizations
to extend government control two years,
in the hope that the Plumb plan can
then be put into effect.
Republican leaders are determined to
push the railroad bill through as soon
as possible, and to do this some fea-
lures of it may be left for later legisla-
ton.
Anti-strike legislation probably will
not be in the conference report.
Senate leaders, by recent canvass
found that the majority of the house is
still opposed to such action. The plan
for dealing with labor, included in the
house bill which was written by the
railroad brotherhoods, probably will he
slightly modified, but it is possible that
ali labor provisions will be eliminated.
The difficulty now between the con
ferees is on section six Of the Cum.
Minis BILL which provides that rates shall,
be adjusted so that the railroads shah
he assured Of a fixed return of 51a per
cent on their aggregate property value,
with the provision that the government
may divide all profits above this per-
centage for the benefit of the weaker
roads.
The senate conferees are understood to
have agreed to abandon the provisions of
the Cummins bill providing for fed
eral transportation board, compulsory
consolidation of the lines and possibly
the anti-strike provisions, If the house
will accept Sec. 6.
The house conferees are working for a
modification Of the section and it has
been suggested that a compromise be ar
ranged by not fixing the percentage OF
the standard return in the bill, but leav-
ing it to the discretion of the interstate
commerce commission.
The concessions of the senate, it is pre-
dicted, will cause the house to accept the
proposal.
Both conference committees have now
decided it will not be necessary to re
turn to the respective houses for further
instructions.

STATE PERMITS
RAISE ON COAL
Reaches Agreement With Job
Der on u. S. Price Basis.

Following a report of the state board
of accounts. in which examiners of the
board state that the 20 cents a ton in
crease in the price of coal is not justified,
the state purchasing committee has
reached an agreement with the Frankfort
Ice and Coal company, which supplies
coal for thirteen state institutions, where.
by the state will have advantage of the
government price for coal.
The Frankfort company obtains its coal
from the Calora Coal Company and then
sells it to the ntate. The board of &C
counts investigated the expenses Of the
CaIora company and reached the conclu,
sion that prices being charged were ex-
cessive.
The state contract price is 1920 a ton,
to which the company sought to add 20
cents. The government price is $2.35 a
ton. Thus the state will save 10 cents
a ton on it's coal as result of the
agreement. All state institutions sup
piled by the Frankfort company have
been ordered to pay their bills on this
basis.
