Railroad Bill Moving Along With Central Concessions
Washington June 13 Conferees reached a tentative agreement on the administration railroad bill. Reports say the measure will go to both houses for passage and to the White House for the president’s signature before week’s end. The compromise includes a stock watering inquiry, interstate commerce oversight of stock and bond issuances, and a ten month rate suspension proposal. The routing of freight remains shipper controlled and the Madden amendment on physical valuation was dropped. Experts will staff a new commission to study stock watering after the bill is signed.
