Reduction of freight rates en fnrm

The commlttce declared labor should

inllreads should take their share, saying
the railroads made $000,000,000 profit
last Tear when farmers lest 87,000,-
000.000.
The committee nlse recommended
withdrawal by Congress of authority te
the Interstate Cemmerce Commission te
fix valuation of real estate held by rall rall
leads at mere than Its actual cost or
mere than the value of similar ndjoln ndjeln
ing lands in making up the capital ac
count of the railroads.
Repeal of Guaranty Recommended
Repeal of the guaranty clnuse of the
Transportation Act, restoration te the
State Railroad Commission of full
powers nn or date when railroads wcre
taken ever by the United Stntes Gov
ernment, but retention bv thu com
mission of control of movement of empty
curs in interstate business were urged.
Recommendations covering nn inter-1
mediate credit system te provide farm-
era with working capital already have i
been drafted by the committee assigned
te this problem. Little opposition te
its report Is anticipated, slnce Presl- i
dent Hnrdlng nnd vlrtunlly every ether
speaker before the conference hnve sug- i
gested such n program te relieve the t
pressure of the producers. I
Certain delegations who favored in
