New Rate Attitude on Railway Bill Talks Progress
The Tribune reports June 16 that railway rate conference committees met in Washington with Sherman absent in New York. Indications show the Senate may drop sleeping car company coverage while the House would drop the pipeline self-use ban. An anti pass provision is near agreement, but exceptions to the Allison compromise alarm both sides. A final meeting may yield agreement or a report of disagreement seeking guidance. The House seeks to remove all restrictions on injunctions against ICC orders.
