Williams Stands Split as Rail Bill Reaches Conferees
Washington May 21 The minority leader John Sharp Williams Mississippi made his last stand against paying heirs of Samuel Lee ten thousand four hundred dollars for contesting a Forty-seventh congress seat. The house adjourned after an all day filibuster. a motion to reconsider failed then a quorum was restored and the motion to lay on the table carried 129 to 59. Williams sought to move to reconsider the amended title but was ruled dilatory. The fate of amendments to the railway rate bill remains uncertain with expected conference committee action and the bill returning to the house for concurrence. The senate bill imposes penalties for rebates, empowers the ICC to set minimum rates, and expands regulatory and public disclosure powers, while classifying pipelines and several carriers as common carriers.
