BRANDEGES STRUGGLES IN VALN Chairman of Committee Make Inef fective Fight Against Provisions Aa-alust Hallrond-Owned Stilus. WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-The Panama canal administration bill providing free passage to 'American -'ships,- prohibiting railroad owned vessels from using the waterway and authorizing the establish ment of a one-man government," when, the canal is completed, was pawed by the senate tonight, by a vote of 47 to IS, The provision for free tolls, Which was tough out In the senate Wednesday, was endorsed again just before the passage of the measure. -Attached to the bill as It passed the senate were two important amendments directed at trust or railroad control of steamship lines. The first, by Senator Reed, would prohibit ships owned by an illegel industrial combination from using the canal; and ' the "second by' Senator Bourne, would force railroads- to give up water lines that might otherwise be their competitors, if 1t were proved that they were stifling competition. Opi-onents of the- free -toll- provision for American ships, against which Great Britain made ' format ' protest, carried their fight up td' the' last moment of the bill's consideration: ' Just' before Its pas cage Senator Root moved to strike out tfce section giving free' tolls to American coastwise vessels, ' and Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia' m'oved to 'strike out the provision for . free tolls to American ships in the foreign trade. Both of these motoins were defeated by overwhelming votes. . "v As the bill passed, it ' would"" permit American coastwise vessels to pass through the canal free without condi tions, while American foreign trade ships might pass through free If their owners agreed to sell the vessels to the United States at a fair price in- tlrp of war 'or emergeBcy,-'VvO:.n-..'v-:,Af ". "."' fight Over Ilallroaa Ship. The great fight of . the day . centered about the provision to prohibit railroad owned snips from using the canal ; The broad terms of. the original house bill, which would have required every railroad in the country . to dispose at once of any such Unes .with which it might otherwise compete, were not ac cepted b ythe senate. This was modified so that railroads ; would be prohibited only from owning steamship lines that may operate through the Panama canal. The Bourne amendment, however, adopted later by a vote of 36 . to 25, restored much of the vigor of the-antl-railroad provisions of the house bill. It provided that if the Interstate Commerce commission should find that any railroad had an interest in a competitive line of steamers and .that such interest was in jurious to the' welfore of the public, the commission might compel the railroad to dispose of. Its steamer connections. Senator Brandegee, chairman of the in teroceanlc canals committee of the sen ate, madt an ineffective fight on the rigid provisions against railroad ships. After the amendments had been adopted to the house bill he moved that the whole paragraph relating to railroad control be stricken out. This motion was defeated, 45, to IS. A subsequent proposal by Mr. Brandege e to' permit any ships to use the eflnai; Riving to the Interstate Com merce commission power of control over them, nlso was defeated. The Reed ' amendment, against trust owned ships waa called up tor a second vote before the. bill passed and was adopted on final passage by a vote of ?& to 23. The completed canal bill finally was passed with Senators Burton. Crane. Gal linger, Idge, Root and other opponents of the free toll and antl-rallroad features of it voting againBt it. JOHN W.
