They Will Dispose Grain To Meet
Long Deferred Debts.
Washington, D. c., August 49,
Heavy rail movement of grain will
continue this fall in spite of high
freight rates and low market prices,
H. w. Pricket, Salt Lake City traffic
bureau, told the Interstate Commerce
Commission today. Farmers will be
compelled to sell and take loss, he
said to meet long deferred debts. The
testimony was given in connection
with the investigation Of rates on
grain in hay in western states.
Unless carriers reduce the rates
on grain, however, the movement
will be curtailed greatly after this
year because many farmers are
abandoning their farms, Mr.. Pricket
said.
In calculating future freight rates,
the commission should figure on an
increased grain movement during the
next few years, provided freight rates
are reduced, the witness added. He
presented figures.

CLEANING UP WORK
Senate and House Prepar-
:, ing For Recess
TO SHELVE BEER BILL.
Deadlock On Agricultural Is
Regarded With Concern
~. BY Leaders

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch1 !.
Washington, D. c., August e.
After two hours wrange the
senate refused today to set aside
the anti -beer bill conference re-
port for consideration of other
legislation and gave every indica-
ton of heading toward jam, CAL
eulated to upset plans for a thirty
day recess beginning tonight. ..
Washington, d. c., August "a
Congress was expected, barring I'm.
foreseen developments, to recess to-
night for thirty days. Both the sem
ate and house when they met today,
were confronted with number OF
miscellaneous matters, which it was
the aim Of leaders to dispose of be-
fore declaring a recess, but it was
indicated that if the slate was not
wiped clean, the long anticipated
vacation would not be deferred. The
senate upon recovering resumed de-
bate on the anti-be bill while the
house waited principally for reports
from conferees on different bills.
Some Of Conference Reports.
Among these booked for conference
reports were the shipping board de-
fciency bill of S4S,500,000, and the
agricultural credits measure, which
was deadlocked last night. In addi-
ton, the senate hoped to complete
action on extending the dye embargo
provision of the emergency tariff ID
January l next and possibly to vote
on extension Of the emergency tariff
itself to that date. "
Indications when the senate met
today were that the anti-beer bill
would be shelved until fall. The
deadlock on the agricultural credits
bill, however, was regarded with CON-
Germ by leaders in both houses, be-
cause of their desire for its imme-
diate passage. The chief difficulty
was in the house obiecting to a sen.
ate provision authorizing the war
finance corporation to make export
loans to European associations, tha
house insisting that these should be
made to Americans only. Senate
and house leaders took hand in the
situation late last night, but with
what result was not indicated.
Representative Mann, republican.
Illinois, in this connection, issued a
warning to his colleagues that their
chances of getting away on re-
cess must depend upon this confer
ence." "
