6 REPUBLICANS FOR WAR BILLS Senators Agree to Do Every thing Possible For U. S. Success in Conflict Washington D. C. Feb. 11. —Re- publican Senators will give hearty and united support to all measures "necessary to the vigorous prosecu tion of the war to a successful is sue." This decision was formally reached at the first conference held by Re publican members Df the Senate since the entrance of the United States into the World War. While various items of pending legislation were naturaiy expected to bo brought under discussion as a re sult of the announced meeting, they formed but a small part of the pro ceedings. These were the Railroad bill and the bill for creating a war finance corporation, and more es pecially the Overman bill designed to equip the President with unusual authority and power. That none wa/3 responsible for the conference was emphatically stated by leading members in attendance. Not to Act as n Unit "The conference was not called to consider the effecting of Repub lican organisation against any pend ing measure," said Senator Galling er, of New Hampshire. "The fact," continued the Senator, "so far as that phase of the situa tion was concerned the result of the discussion was that with respect to measures nop vitally connected with the prosecution of the war, there would be no thought of acting as a unit. "It was recognized that there are features of pending legislation which need careful consideration. In touching on the Overman bill, the question of granting too much power to the President was practically disregarded. The talk trended more toward the desirability of a volun tary organization of effective work ing strength, rather than the at tempt to reach the same ends through the adoption of hard and fast statutory methods." Senator Gallinger illustrated his meaning by reference to the Bri tish organization, where five or six men of distinction, representing ex pert ability in their particular fields, have been appointed and given power to act, without the introduction of special laws, to mike the system one of rigidity. Will Scrutinize Measure While it was intimated by Sena tor Gallinger and others that the bill now before the Senate would be given careful scrutiny, it was de clared that there was no intention on the part of the Republican mem bership of consolidating either Jor or against any of the measures. This preservation of the "open mind," it was indicated, gave ample allowance for free debate and in divdual differences of opinion and action, without vitiating the agree ment, freely entered into, that es sential war measures would receive the united support of the party membership in the Senate. Following the adjournment of the conference, which was attended by more than halt of the Republican members of the Senate, Senator Gal linger issued the following brief statement: "The conference was not called for the of securing party action and no such action was taken. Republican Senators, as heretofore, will give cordial support to all ne cessary legislation for the vigorous prosecution of the war to a success ful issue." Senator Penrose was not in at tendance at the conference, being absent from Washington at the time of its holding, lie had previously expressed his opposition to the Over man bill in its present form, how ever, on the ground that it granted practically autocratic power to the President, at the same time taking the course already followed by Con "gress in unduly abandoning its pre rogatives and responsibilities. Final R. R. Rate-Making Is Vested in Wilson Washington, Feb. 11. ln report ing tiie Administration Railroad bill to tho House. Chairman Sims said the House Interstate Commerce Commit tee hand amended the measure so as to vest llnai ratemaking authority in the President because under the pres ent law the Interstate Commerce Com mission could not make such neces sary changes in rates as unified war control demands. To amend the status so as to pro vide a non-competitive ratemaking system, the report said, would be put ting on Congress an "impossible bur den." \o Protection Hentoved The bill as amended gives shippers and consignees all the protection that thev now have, the report continued, as the Interstate Commerce Commis sion upon their complaint shall hold hearings to fully discuss the justice, reasonableness and fairness of any rate in the light of war conditions. After these hearings the commission will report its conclusions to the President for such action as he may deem necessary "in the public inter ests." To allow the Interstate Commerce Commission to over-ride the President in the exercise of war powers, or of any powers for that matter, would bo most "unseemly," the report said. "It should not be overlooked," It added, "that t!to President is responsi ble for the flnnncial results of oper ating these great government carrier systems with gross revenues approxi mating The President must be given powers commensurate with his responsibility. The bill therefore leaves rates and ratemaking undisturbed, except as the President otherwise orders." The report discussed each section of the measure and pointed out that it was distinctly war emergency legis lation, intended to meet the essential needs growing out of Federal control and that it should not be regarded as a bill either for ownership or control of railroads.
