W~ashington-Westsrn interests Cd
resented n the Senate have started j
determined fight to reduces railroad
rates on agricultural products Ii con
nection with the railroad funding bill.
The so-called agricultural bloc'' lhas
taken up the matter, and VIII, hold =
meeting to determine what action shall
be taken. Although no decision has
been reached, the general sentiment
favors action In connection with the
railroad funding bill which President
Harding desires passed as promptly as
possible. sSs
Hlnted In Resolution.
"a hint Of what may be done Ii con-
tanned in q resolution introduced IN the
House BY Representative Dowell,
Iowa.
This resolution directs the Inter
state Commerce commission to cut
rates on agricultural products, live
stock and coal Is per cent and It is
anticipated that the resolution may be
supported by the agricultural. bloc IN
the Senate as a rider to the railroad
bill, providing that the bill shall not
become effective until the rates are re-
duced.
It is realized that the "bloc" might
form an alliance which would make 1t
extremely embarrassing to administers
ton leaders, as q large element among
the Democrats are planning to oppose
the railroad bill irrespective OF its re.
iationship to reduced freight rates.
Rates Too Hinh.
Senators from agricultural states
have been receiving additional reports
Of distress in the corn belt section,
Much Of this depression is based on az.
cessive freight rates.
Farmers in my, state" said Senator
Kenyon of Iowa, "have been compelled
to sell their corn for Is cents q bushel
when It cost them so cents to raise It,
The total Of defaulted notes IA
some parts Of Iowa during the past
lew days has been enormous"
The meeting will discuss other
measures Of farmers relief. The CO.
operative marketing bill and the bin
to place representatives OF agriculture
on the Federal Reserve board win be
among them.

increased by the explosion Ct q gas

At q late hour thirty.three bodies
had been recovered.

Twenty persons are known to have
been seriously injured anil sixty others
were slightly injured. This, however,
gives no idea OF the extent of the dis
aster, because the flremen and others
engaged in the work OF rescue have
been unable to get into the tunnel,
owing to the gas fumes.
Thefire spread with great rapidity,
and for q time cries and means Of the
dying we're heard above the cracking
Of the blazing wooden coaches.
The firemen were not prepared for
the barrage OF poisonous fumes which
assailed them 40 they reached the

but these were empty and not burning

Occasionally passenger with black

those dying within.
The minister OF public works, M. LIE

A 100, 900 commuters who every eve

consequence there was an immense
amount OF confusion, and many Of the
commuters repaired to the barracks,
placed at their disposal by the govern
ment.
An American Red Cross unit was
among the first in the relief work.
The accident is said to have been
due to the breaking Of an airbrake
pipe on the first train, and it is thought
that the train following came into the
collision through faulty working OF
