Harmony Expected In Railroad Bill Conferees Reach Accord
Washington March 5 a compromise on the rate making authority in the administration railroad control bill is likely to be acceptable to both house and senate conferees. Senator Smith says a unique workable plan would harmonize presidential and interstate commerce commission powers while preserving their roles. The conference also accepts the senate compensation provision guaranteeing carriers about 945 million dollars annually, and extends benefits to all short lines as part of the federally operated system estimated at two billion dollars. The two houses approach a two year to 18 month control period after peace is decided, with readiness to yield on the timing.
