RAIL BILL AWAITS
ACTION BY HOUSE
Many Amendments Predicted
Before Measure Is Passed
Late in Week.
Rr the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
with drastic changes forecast In the
measure as it passed the Senate, the
administration rail bill today was
awaiting House action.
There were reports, for which there
was no full official confirmation, that
President Roosevelt had been asked to
withdraw his support from the measure,
passed Saturday by the Senate, in order
that a new plan could be proposed.
This substitute, for which there is
considerable House support, simply
would repeal the law requiring railroads
to give half of their excess earnings to
the Government and would put rail-
holding companies under the control OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
Object to Amendments.
Objectors to the bill approved by the
Senate argued that amendments insert
ed there would defeat one of the pur-
poses of the legislation. They would
prevent sizeable economies, it was said,
by forbidding wage cuts or the dis
charge of employees in reorganizations
approved by the new Federal co-ordl-
nator.
The administrations answer to this
argument was reported to be that there
are only about 100000 rail employees
and the bill even now would make 1t
possible to lay off around $4,000 year
through retirementS designations, deaths
and the like.
Furthermore, economies are expected
by propQnsnR ef the bill through
pooling 81 eiities
Despite these arguments, and without
referring to any specific Senate amend
nf rTnnnos-
see, the House Democratic leader, pre-
dicted:
1T Is likely the House will make
considerable number of changes in the
bill before passing it."
Chairman Rayburn of the Interstate
Commerce Committee expects the COM
mittee to take the bill up by Wednesday
at the latest, so some decision may be
reached this week
Arrangements have been made by
the House leadership for floor action
Thursday or Friday if a bill does come
out OF the committee
The opinion of many members was
summarized by Representative Huddle-
ston Of Alabama. ranking Democrat on
Rayburn's committee, who said:
The railroads are against the bill
with the Senate labor amendments: or
ganized labor is against it without
them. I understand the President has
made some commitments to both, but
Just how far those commitments have
gone is the question.
1T seems that under the bill as II
row stands labor would hold its own,
the railroads would not save any money

after through 1898 to get the system
to work.
The measure was passed by unani-
nous consent after a brief explanation
by Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New
York.
Seventy-f1ve per cent of the appro-
priation would be apportioned by the
Federal employment director it provides
for among the States in proportion to
their population, while Is per cent
would go for administrative expenses.
States Would Report.
No money would be spent In any
State until that State had appropriated
an equivalent sum. State agencies
would report TO and be under loose
supervision of the Federal agency.
Placement Of persons in jobs would
be by the State agencies, with the Fed
eral Government assisting them in
their programs.
Under the existing set-up the report
OF the Senate Labor Committee said,
there is actual friction" between State
and Federal employment agencies, "ac-
lively competing" with each other.

sections of the British press as the
results of the arrest in Soviet Russia

Banking Situation.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Senate Banking Committee
voted today to ask for additional au-
thority in its investigation of private
bankers, because of objections raised to
its inquiry by the ]. P. Morgan house.
The committee instructed its counsel
Ferdinand Pecora, to draw up legisla-
tion giving it BROADER power after he
reported the Morgan banking house
had raised questions about the commit
tees authority
Chairman Fletcher said Pecora had
asked the bank for certain information.
They were willing to give access to
their records up to certain point" he
said, but were considering the author
ity beyond that"
Fletcher said the committee wanted
to remove any doubt about its authority
and would ask the Senate to amend
the resolution under which it is con-
Quoting the stock market inquiry.
Would Meet All Objections.
I'VE want to make it broad enough
to cover every possible objection that
may be raised" Fletcher said.
The Banking Committee decided,
Fletcher announced, not to make an
of the Hartman National
Bank & Trust Co. or delay in the prose-
cution of its former chairman, Joseph
W. Hartman.
It decided, Fletcher said, to leave
this entirely up to the Treasury and
Justice Departments.
The question of banking is up to the
Treasury, Fletcher said, and the prose-
cution of Hartman for false certifica-
tions is up to the Justice Department.
Pecora made general report to the
committee on the progress of his in
quiry into private banking houses
Fletcher said the point raised by the
Morgan institution was the same as
previously had been raised by the Ma
tional City Bank, but they did not
insist upon it.

He added that the committee had
not decided whether to subpoena the
records of the Morgan company.
Fletcher was asked whether the COM
mittee would request authority to in
vestigate the Treasury administration

mot gone into that"
He said it would still be some time
before the committee would be ready
to resume hearings in its stock market

definitely upon its future course.
