WASHINGTON. Aug. PA grow
Ing deterioration in railroad equip

tives TO adopt a more conciliatory
attitude. according to information in
government circles. This is one OF
the main facts underlying the hope
in administration circles that 'eet-

Rail executives realize that TO win
the present controversy they must
avoid a serious breakdown IN trans
portation. A big blow was dealt 10
their efforts to keep the crippled
systems in operation with strike
breakers. when the Interstate Com
merce Commission with the approval
of President Harding announced that
the laws by which agents OF the COM
mission can order defective equip
ment out OF use would be strictly
enforced.
There IS no appeal from orders of
the commission banning the use OF
such equipment.
The report which the Interstate
Commerce Commission soon viii
make TO Congress, in response to a
Senate resolution, will show that
more than half OF the 10000 loco
motives OF the country are now de-
fective due 10 the strike. This has
caused the cancellation of many
trains, delays TO others and the re-
fusal OF many big four brotherhood

ed by the Senate Saturday night.
after a great political battle Of four
teen months. faced another big fight
as Il went 10 a conference commit
tee OF the Senate and the House to-
day.
Powerful groups in both Houses
were lining up for a finish fight on
whether the measure should be
based on the foreign or the Ameri-
can valuation OF imports.
A Republican faction in the SEN
ate was lining up behind the Amer
lean valuation system as adopted by
the House. in contrast with foreign
valuation as approved by the ma
jority OF the Senate.
The big battle" said Senator Cd
die. Nevada. a strong member OF the
Republican farm bloc, will be over
the question OF American or foreign
valuation.
There Is a greatly increasing
undercurrent OF feeling among Sen.
ators in favor OF American valuation
and this sentiment Is particularly
among the so-called farm and tariff
bloc members"
Summing up the main arguments
OF Senators who favor the American
valuation plans. Senator Oddie de-
clared 1T Is easier TO ascertain the
wholesale values OF merchandise
when sold in the American market
than when they are sold IN the III
foreign countries from which these
goods are shipped.
"As only about Il per cent OF oui
Imports are subject 20 ad valovem

claimed" Oddie continued. but

Congress determines upon.
American valuation will equalize
The duties collected from all nations.
Under foreign valuation, those coun-

,hange and wages pay the highest

'air advantage over other countries
