Jn estimating that the recondition

HOUSE PASSES RAIL BILL
fOontimird From First PajrO
commit tee iRau hearings. 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
