Chicago June 13 railroads nationwide favor a voluntary workmen's compensation act. A New York conference will present the rail carriers' viewpoint in Washington. The plan preserves workers rights to sue and pays damages directly to workers or heirs. Negligence only bars recovery if willful. Separately, shippers win a victory as 250 railroads restore original freight rates on tool and vehicle goods after an Interstate Commerce Commission inquiry.
