probable that tho bill will bo altered
but little by tho joint couforouco

aooidont viotims, Both, provide that
if tho railroads lowor their rates to

not bo raisod without tho consent of
tho iutorstnto commoroo commission.
Hnth bills provide for tho estab

tho oommorco court on appealing'
from doeisious of the iutorstnto oom

Other identical piovisions are that
railroads cannot make tho thiough
rato that shall bo greater than the
aggrogato of local rates; a hoavy
penalty to provont railroad einployes
from falsifying to shippers ' asking
intos; in ease of competitive routes,
shippers may dictate tho route over

TALK IS ALL BIG BLUFF
WASHINGTON, D. C, Juno 1.--That
officials of tho interstate oom
morco commission boliovo tho rail-
roods aro bluffing in their talk of
retrenchment was strongly intimnt
ed today. It is intimated hero that
tho offioials of tho commission do
not oxpoot tho roads to abandon im
provements or dischargo employes
wholosalo on account of tho Hannibnl
suit.
Thoy doclaro that many roads havo
reported iuoronsos in gross oarnings
in most railroad centers. Thoy also
point to James J. Hill's statement
that tho railroads nro doing tho
grontost business in thoir histqry. It
is understood tho administration will
not prooood further against tho rail
roads until President Taft's interview
Monday with tho railroad prosidonts,
In tho statement roferred to by tho
committoo, James J. Hill said:
"Tho businoss of tho United States
is too big for ti littlo muttor liko this
to disturb it."
Tho railway maguato oxprossed
tho opinion that thoro was no causo
for alarm. lie said ho thought tho
"shower" would bo light and no
washouts would occur. Hill said his
company had no intention of cancel
ling any ordors for equipment, but
declared that railroads need hotter
torminal facilities, moro than in
creased equipment and extensions.
Personally, ho said, ho didn't bolievo
any of tho railroads were cancelling
ordors.
"The situation is not causing me
any alarm, and I don't seo why it
should anybody else," said Hill.
