Washington, D. C By a sudden

voto of 0G to 10, adopted n compro
mlse amendment to tho railroad hill
for the regulation of relative charges
j for long nnd short hauls. Tho agree
ment was reached chiefly for the rca
fon that each radon npiurentlj
thought It was getting tho better or a
throwdly-drlveu bargain. Somo ecna
tors suggest thnt tho supremo courl
may have to arbitrate tho question nt
to which taction's Judgment Is right
As ndopted, the now provision

proviso of that section nnd amend?
the section eo as to mnko It read tu
follows:
"Section 4 That It phall bo unlaw
ful for any common carrier subject to
the provls'ons of this act to charge
or receive any greater compensation
In the nggregate for the transporta
tlon of passengers, or of like kind or
property, for a shorter than for a
longer dlstanco over tho same line or
routo In the same direction, the short
er being Included within tho longer
distance, cr to charge nny greater
compensation ns n through route than
the aggregate of tho local rates. But
this shall not he construed as author
izing any common carriers within tho
terms cf this act to charge or receive
as great compensnt'on ror a shorter
as for a longer distance.
"Provided, however, that the Inter
state commerco commission may,
from Its knowledge, or from informa
tion or upon application, ascertain
that the circumstances of the long
haul aro dissimilar to tho circum
stances nnd conditions of the short
haul wiiether they result from com
petition by water or rail. Then It
may authorize a common carrier to
charge less for the Icnger than for
the shorter distance for tho trans
portation of passengers or property.
But In no event shall the authority
be granted unless the commission is
satisfied that nil or the rates Involved
are just and reasonable and not un
justly discriminatory, nor duly prcror
cntlal or prejudicial.
"And provided, rurther, that no
rates or charges lawhilly existing nt
the time of tho passage of thlB man
datory act shall be required to bs
changed by reason of the provisions
of this sectlrn prior to tho explratlrn
of six months after this act, nor in
ary case where application shall have
been filed before the commission In
accordance with the provisions of th's
section, until a determination of such
application Is mado by tho commls
slon."
Of tho fifty-six votes In favor of
the amendment, twenty-two were
given by rcpubl'can senators who
have opposed tho Insertion of any
lcrg anl short haul provision in the

chiefly Insurgents.
