The com promise bill, he asserted, was the original houe bill except "one sub stantive proposition," by which a rate basis is fixed with earnings in excess of 6 per cent on railroad val uation reinir divided between the earning carrier and the government for the latter to use tor weak roads. -Financial Sralt" Yiewetf. Referring to present "financial straits' of the carriers, Mr. Esch said that prior to government opera tion only 60 per cent of the roads . earned dividends and paid interest. "During federal control, 103 of the 175 class 1 roads did not earn in terest." he added. "Jn 1916 the roads lacked $6i.OtiO.0OO of paying interest on their indebtedness. "Fifty per cent of the roads in this country would go into the hands of receivers in three juonth without the government guarantee,"' Mr. Esch de clared, "and 1 want to warn you that receiversnips ior raiiroans means re ceiverships for industrial enterprises aud other business." Fair Itoal Is Aaarrtcd. The short lines, he said, had been fairly and Kenerously dealt with, add ing that if they suffered the people they served and trunk lines would suffer. IVtatls of the S.iO(,0n,i00 revolving fund were explained mid the chair man "brought a smile by announcing that provisions for free pavaca for railroad lawyers, dectora and others stood as heretofore. , 1 expect this one question has I given members of congress more ac tual concern than the most important provision of the conference report," he declared. Mr. Ewh denied that the govern ment, under the compromise bill, guaranteed a return of per cent on railroad investment. He explained that the guarantee was on actual value. "it is up to the railroads to warn by efficiency," he said. "The govern rnervt is losing nothing." he added. "Commerce is stimulated. This plan Is the best practical solution for a most difficult problem." Referring to the labor provisions Mr. Esch declared that the measure Contained nothing about compulsory putting into effect of the "decisions" of the tabor boards, but that "it rel et on public opinion, which is greater than any legislative decrees." "Ail railway labor' Mr. EgcJl con- I tinued, "is not op Dosed to the bilL Method provided for settling d8 i putes," he asserted, "'is just and fair, and "the more ft is studied the more supporters it wins." There were insistent demands for a vote on the bill after delivery of the principal speeches, and while time was being allotted speakers in three and five-minute batches. Shoots Grow Inula tent. Representative Sims, democrat, Ten nessee, in charge of the fihv on the bill, fixed time for those desiring to speak and as he called names on his list without response the shuut "vote, vote," grew more insistent. Four names were sung out, and nobody replied "Then Til take the floor myself, temporarily," said Mr. Sims, and turn ing to the chair, said: "Please call me in 15 minutes. Attacking the labor provisions, Mr. Sims charged "they absolutely Invite, encourage and will bring out strikes." He urged that the labor sections, if included, should "have some persua sive power against strikes," declar ing that the railroads could ignore decrees for settling disputes. When his 15 minutes expired Mr. Sims continued his address, saying his ' other orators were absent from the floor. I Urging rejection of the conference report, he declared the rate-making plan was "socialistic, communistic, capitalistic and nationalistic" "It is the minimum wage for Wall street," he eaid. Unfairness to Labor Denied. Representative Crisp, democrat of Georgia, said the bill contained noth ing unfair to labor but that labor would oppose any legislation return ing the carriers to private operation. Representative Barkley, democrat, Kentucky, a member of the interstate commerce committee, opposing the bill, declared that while it contained many good provisions they wire "en tirely overbalanced by the most vicious and insidious departure from established principles." Attacking the rate-making section, he charged that the Railway Security Holders' association maintained at Washington a committee which ac complished for them what congress never had done for any other busi ness, "the fixing of rates which would guarantee them against the hazards of business." "The result of this legislation, he said, "means that the American peo ple must pay two and a half billion dollars to the railroads In order that roads manipulated by special inter ests may pay dividends." Mr. Barkley argued that the bill was unconstitutional because of the provision taking half of the excess earnings over a 6 per cent return. He concluded by protesting against compelling 100,000,000 people to pay tribute to specially favored inter: -sts. The house adopted the conference report by a vote of 249 to 150 a clean margin of 99 votes. The vote for the adoption of the conference report showed 204 repub licans and 4o democrats supporting it. The opposing vote included 125 demo erals, 13 republican, one independent and one prohibitionist. The rollcall follows: For the bill Republicans: Ackerman.
