8F RAILROftO-BILL -PiWBLEJSCLti
Legislation Must be Enacted
Before March 1, Chairman
Esch Declares
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. (By the
Associated Press.) While some oppo
sition to the railroad bill as finally
agreed upon in conference has devel
oped, senate and house leaders pre
dicted today that the conference re
port on die measure would be prompt
ly adopted so that the legislation
would be on tho statute books before
the roadB aro returned to private con
trol March 1.
The final draft of the conference re
port will be presented to the senate
Saturday or Monday. The house will
take it up Monday or Tuesday and
leaders said it would be disposed oC ln
rr two days.
; Chairman Esch, of the house Inter
i' , state commerce committee, one of the
authors of the railroad bill, and other
; i leaders based their prediction that the
bill would pass upon the fact that as
' re-written in conference, it is substan-
tially the same as the Esch bill reccnt
s ly passed by the house. Senate pro
; visions to which there was objection
j including the anti-strike section, crea-
tion of a transportation board and com
i i pulsory consolidations were stricken
',' out In conference. The essential addi
i ; tion to the house bill was the fixing
of a guaranteed return of 5 per cent.
1 ''With the time already fixed by
; President Wilson for return of the
roads and tho widespread demand
r from the people that they be handed
Sj back," Cahirman Esch said todaj.
it 1 "failure to enact necessary legislation
? 1 before March. 1 would be disastrous. I
am satisfied, however, that tho house
S will adopt the conference report with
I ;f out delay."
