SAYS BUTLER BILL
WILL NOT PASS
Senator Weller States Bill To Re-
move Baltimore's Rate Differen-
tial Will Not Pass Congress

In my judgment this Congress will
not pass the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Butler of Massachusetts to re-
move the railroad rate differentials
which Baltimore has had in its favor
for many years. This proposal will
be agitated in Congress and in the
press, and hearings may be had on it
in Committees here, but it will not
become law.
1t is well, however that Maryland
should take such precautionary steps
as are needed to protect it's interests.
We are fortunate in having Senator
Bruce on the Interstate Commerce
Committee of the Senate. No one is
better qualified than he to look out
for Baltimore's rights, and it is a
pleasure for me to cooperate with
him.
I have gone into this matter care
fully with the leaders of the Senate

Congress created the Interstate
Commerce Commission as rate
making body for the railroads. The
Commission has performed this func-
ton for years. The Butler Bill would
take this power from the Commission
and place this intricate task in the
hands of Congress. 1t is because of
the expectation that the railroads will
be free for several years from med
dlesome legislation by Congress that
the country is now anticipating a
period of great prosperity. Business
would view with alarm the radical
departure proposed by Senator But
Ter.

beaded pocketbooks and other novel

He had entered 1t unframed and penni-

alive for Any Character

There are few objects of art so
decorative in themselves, and at
the same time decorative when con.
sidered for different types OF
houses, apartments, and studios, as
models OF old sailing ships.
They are. directly reminiscent OF
all countries at all periods.
Alphabetically, they are correct
for any house of any period of any
country.
Most of the models have de-
Iightful delicacy. Their color, often
the result of materials long past
new, has a richness and warmth
of much beauty and their perTna-
nent flavor OF old days and old
ways must send forth into a modern
house something much more grace
full than a passing decorative value.
