OUSE AGREES IN

BILL! i

Passage Early Next Month Will Insure No Hitch in Return of Roads. I'.t I'nlted Press: WASHINGTON. Jan. 30. A f.nal spropniPRt by senate and I ouse conferees on railroad legislation near, it was learned Friday. It 1h now believed to be virtually certain that the railroad bill will be passed early next month, so that there will b no hitch in the president's announced plans to return the lines to their owners March 1. The overwhelming majority of congress still favors the return of roads to their owners as soon as possible, despite efforts of labor nd other organizations to extend gov ernmcnt control two years in the hope that the Plumb plan can then be put into efTect. Republican leaders are determined to push the railroad bill through as soon as possible, and to do this some reatures or it may oe leu lor later legislation. Anti-strike legislation probably will not be in the conference report. Opposed to Action. Senate leaders by a recent canvass found that the majority of the house is still opposed to such action. The plan for dealing with labor, included in the house bill which was written by the railroad brotherhoods, probably will If slightly modified but it is possible that all labor provisions will be eliminated. The dili'.culty between the conferes is on section f. of the Cummins' bill which provides that rate shall be adjusted so that the railroads shall be assured of a hxed re- : turn oi i percent on uivir a- i i y . n a. . 41..:.. ... gregate property value, with tho ; provision that the government may ; j divide nil profits above this percent; for the benefit of the weaker roads. : j Senate conferees are understood j to have agreed to abandon the pro- ; visions of the Cummins bill pro jvldlr.g for a r-aerai trarspoi xatior board, compulsory consolidation or the lines and possib!y the antistrike provisions, if the house will accept section C. i A a T1 H it a Today most unusual drama of love, revenge and the super-natural "Tlie Phantom ii With Marguerite Marsh Also "THE' JANITOR" Comedy, with Hank Mann.
