Thermometers at Camp Dodge reg
istered 24 degrees below zero at 6 a.
m. Today and a brisk northeast wind
added to the discomfiture. The men
on guard duty during the night work

men on guard during the night did
not suffer severely. Within the bar
racks It was comfortable. Practically
all outdoor work was abandoned, dur
ing the morning hours today but'with
the temperature moderating some out

In an order from -Washington, pub
lished at division headquarters at

action will be of direct, benefit to the
government.

EVery railroad is doing its utmost
to get freight cars into Iowa territory
to move the corn and live stock, so
Governor Harding was informed by

been one of the worst things the rail
roads have had to contend with.

Urgent Appeals for Coal.
Urgent appeals for assistance in
getting coal were mde to Fuel Ad

from oufover the state today. Con
fiscating of coal cars is not infre

that towns to which the confiscated
coal is consigned are as badly in need
of coal as communities which take it.
The administration received a report
that Indiana and other eastern coal
consigned to Davenport and other
Iowa cities has been confiscated at
Terra Haute on different occasions.
Sixteen carloads consigned to Daven
port was confiscated at Terra Haute
a few days ago, according to reports
received at the office of the state

Provision Inserted Gives Gov

(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Feb. 1. Prospects of
an early agreement in congress on
the administration railroad bill
brightened today when members of
the senate interstate commerce com
mittee returned from a White house
conference with word that the presi
dent did not desire to have the in
terstate commerce commission de
prived of its rate-making powers un

carriers.
Soon after the conference the com
mittee wrote into the bill provisions
limiting government control of rail
roads to 18 months after the war and
authorizing the president to initiate
rates subject to appeal to the inter
state commerce commission. This
proposal, which was adopted by a
vote of 11 to 4, was a compromise of

nates the most serious obstacle to
prompt enactment of the measure.
The agreement was prepared by a
sub-committee consisting of Senators
Robinson and Townsend, appointed
to iron out the difficulties over the
fixing of a period' for government op
eration and opposition to giving the
president power to fix rates.
Before the agreement was submit
ted to the committee it was taken to
the White house by Chairman Smith
and Senator Underwood.
As finajly approved the bill will
provide jthat government control of
transportation shall continue for 18
months after the war terminates, in
stead of "until congress shall there
after order otherwise," as originally
drawn, or for one year, as provided
by Senator Watson's amendment
adopted earlier in the week. It gives
the president authority tojnitiate
rates, as the railroads are empowered
to do under the existing laws. The
power to initiate rates under the bill
continues during the period of fed
eral control instead of during the war
as had been suggested.
