sent their cloture petition for a vote
on Wednesday under the rules.
Failure predicted for both moves Is to

legislation.

prominently in the Senate this week,
Senator Gerry of Rhode Island. Demo

ture value of dreadnoughts in naya!
progras.

, the Senate census committee this week,
in its consideration of the House bill re-
tanning the present House membership
of 1876.

abled service men is expected to be

Washington, Jan. 30-(By The As
| sociated Press)--Formation of a pool
| to give the railroads of New Eng
land S15,600,000 to meet this years
fixed operating charges in lieu of the
proposed re- division of joint freight
rates with carriers west OF the Hud-
son river will be taken up at meet
ing Of trunk line executives Tuesday
in New York.
The offer was made to the New
England lines at a conference here
last week and accepted by majority
of the presidents at the meeting. e.
J. Pearson. president of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford, alone.
was reluctant to accept the offer but
said he would consult his board OF
directors.
Presidents of trunk lines will at
! tend the New York meeting on
Tuesday and hear the report of the
committee which conferred with the
New England carriers here last
week Railroad men here believe
they will vote to bive the New Eng
| land roads about $15600,o00 to tide
them over a period OF IS months
dating from the first of the year.
When the New England lines pre-
scented their application for re-di-
vision Of rates last November ito the
7 Interstate Commerce Commission,
Chairman Clark of the commission
called meeting of trunk line eXecu-
tives and asked them to name COM
| mittec to attempt settlement of the
matter with New, England presidents
without forcing the commission to
decide the case. The division of the
joint freight rates as maintained
now can not be changed without
months of study and work on the
part of the federal commission and
Chairman Clark has expressed I'M
willingness to undertake the matter
without first attempting to settle the
case ''ou Of court"
The committee requested was
named and it offered the New Eng
land lines s12,000,000. The offer was
refused on the ground that the roads
fieeded $27, 100000.
Hearings were started before the
Interstate Commerce Commission
and have been continued since
Chairman Clark last week again
summoned the executives here and
asked them to attempt an agreement
An offer of $15,6Oo,000 was agreed
upon.
1t is understood that if the offer is
accepted the case now before the
commission will be withdrawn and
the joint rate divisions will remain as
they now are. If New England lines
are unable to effect an economic re-
adjustment in the year they may
bring a rate case before the commits
sion and obtain the needed $27,500, 900
q year revenue in that manner.
