RULE NEAR END, President Iiiillcuti-s That He Has Xot Changed Mind Concerning Turning Over Roads To Private Ownership on First of Year. Illy United Prma to The Bind Bullrtlnl . WASHINGTON, f). C, Nov. 18. President Wilson today vetoed the Cummins rate bill, wbich would have restored the Interstate commerce commission to its pre-war power over railroad rates. Under govern ment control the president has had the power to make rates and has made several upward revisions. The Cummins bill would have forced the president, through the railroad administration, to go before the Interstate commerce commission. Just as the railroads themselves did before federal control. The Cummins bill would have forced those In charge of the rail roads under federal control to seek the approval of various state rail road commissions In matters affect ing Inter-state traffic. The presi dent, during the war, had the same power over interstate and . Intra state rates. The provision-returning the power of rate review back to the state commissions, caused the presi dent's veto. It is said that he bad no objection to restoring the pre-war powers of the interstate commission. The veto also spoke of the short time re maining for federal control, indica ting that the president hasn't chang ed his mind about turning the roads back to private ownership on Janu ary 1. With the railroad bill sent to the senate, the house expects to end its special session tonight. Formal ad journment will not come until the formal consent of the senate is ob tained, probably the latter part of .next week, but about 200. members are already on the way to their homes. .
