Washington, Feb. 25. - The
railroad bill was sent to the
White House today and the presi-
dent is expected to act on it one
way Or another before the roads
are returned to private control next
Monday. The measure is opposed
by the railroad brotherhoods and
their representatives now in Wash

proposal for settlement of their
wage demands were drafting today
a memorial to the executive asking
him to veto the bill.
A similar request was made yes
terday by George p. Hampton,
managing director of the farmers
national council, who asked that
the president hear a delegation
from his organization tomorrow.
Other big farmers organizations,
however, in a letter sent to the
White House today, urged approval
of the legislation. There has been
no indication from the White
House as to the presidents views on
the measure. He has had before
him several days a digest of the
bill prepared by Director General
Hines after the senate and house
conferees finally had agreed to the
measure in the form in which it
was approved by the house last
Saturday, and the senate last Mon

After 1t was received at the eX-
ecutive offices today the bill was
sent to the department of justice
for an opinion as to its validity.
