Washington, Nov. 20.— In the loom o( the senate committee on interstate commerce this morning the rtruggle with the problem of legislation affect- ing tlie railroads w ill hegin. The qties- tiou has occupied public attention to the partial exclualon of other matters «if importance f«ir a year, hut the com mittee meeting w ill mark the real be ginning of the contest, w hich congress w ill end before H im close of the coming N«<ssi«in. The committee, of which Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia, is chaiiman, has lieen directed ex plicitly by the senate to make a report on the matter of railroad li'giaUtinn " b y bill or otherwise" not later than December 14. Nearly ev« ry uii'iuber of the committee is in Washington ami the few absentees ate expected to reach the city Unlay. Mr. Elkins has intimated that no hill can ho prepare«! within the time set by the senate for making the report. If this is true, it means that an exten sion of time must he asktxl and there will lie nothing for the senate to do lint grant it. Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, oil the other hand, believes that there is no reason why a hill cannot lie presented to the senate within a week after the convening of «•«ingress. Members of the committee are d ivid ed on the i|U«<8tion «if the extent to which legislation to lie recommendatt should go in the matter of giving au thority to the Interstate Commerce commission to tix rates. Ttiis is the mere statement of a fact already well known, hut there are indications that Mr. Fllkins may he able to obtain a majority report by yielding much from his views ami by gaining hm much fiom the members of the committee who have been antagonistic or partly antag onistic to the chairman.
