For the second time within the

SENATE PASSES RAILWAY ACT.
General Opinion Prevails that Presi-
dent Will Approve Bill-Labor
Leaders VIII Urge Vote.

Washington, d. C.-By nearly 3 to 1
the senate passed and sent to the
president the modified railroad re-
organization bill under which the car
riers will attempt to adjust them
selves to conditions arising with the
end Of government control.
T~hirty-two republicans joined with
fifteen democrats in voting for adop-
ton OF the conference report, while
three republicans and fourteen demo
Gratis comprised the seventeen voting
against 1t. There was never any
doubt as to what the senate would do,
in view of the wide margin by which
the Cummins bill, more drastic than
the compromise, was passed. The
bill goes to President Wilson, and the
general opinion was that he would
sign it, although labor leaders will
urge a veto.
During the five hours debate, led
by Chairman Cummins. Of the inter
terstate commerce committee, senat-
ors expressed varying opinions as to
how the public and the railroads
would fare under the bill, which was
warmly defended and attacked. But
the intense interest which attended
proceedings in the house was lack
ing frequent quorum calls being neces-
sary to get members in the chamber.
Around 6 o'clock the patience of the
senate was apparently exhausted
after much speechmaking and insist
ent demand for a veto cut short the
desire to prolong presentation Of
views.
Discussion related largely to labor
and rate making provisions. Senator
Cummins, with feeling, denounced
widespread claims that in fixing
freight and passenger charges calcu-
lated to give the roads a return Of
5h per cent meant taking huge sums
OF money from the public treasury.
The bill, he declared, would not take
n dollar in that way. Such reports,
he said, we're part of the propaganda
put forth in an effort to defeat legis-
lation on the eve Of return Of the
roads to their March /.
