ALL NEWS OF THE RAILROADS
Fix Rail Control Term;
Short Lines to Get Aid
Washington, March 6.—Government
control and operation of railroads
probably will continue for twenty
one months after the war.
A tentative agreement fixing that
time flmlt was reached late yester
day by conferees on the railroad
control bill as a compromise for two
years, proposed in the House bill,
and eighteen months in the Senate.
The conferees expect their tentative
agreement finally will be presented
to Congress.
Another question still in dispute,
and discussed at considerable length,
concerns provisions to prevent all
possible interference, during Govern J
ment operation of the railroads, with
regulatory and taxation functions of
the states.
The conferees also finally ratified
their tentative agreement bringing
all "short line" railroads in ths
Government system. The House pro
vision for the "short lines" was sub
stantially adop/ted by the conferees
in lieu of the Senate provision,
which would affect only competitive
lines.
Many Trackmen Start

A large force of trackmen have

being removed as fast as possible.
The cars are now hcing removed be
tween New Cumoerland and Cly, ac
cording to an official this morning.
The cars, which have been stored
for nearly two months, are not as
diifioult to remove as had been an
ticipated.

Each District to Be Gone Over'
i
By Teams and
T rucks
Commissibners Hassler and Lynch
said to-day the general clean-up of
the city streets and backyards will
start within a day or two.
Plans for the work were being
made by the officials to-day and
will be announced probably to-mor
row. The clean-up of ashes accu
mulated in yards will take at least
four weeks Dr. Hassler said. Men
and teams are being obtained and
the Bureau of Ash and Garbage In
spection will take charge of the
work. Officials of this bureau have
made an inspection tour over the
city similar to the one taken by city
Council more than a week ago.
It was said to-day the clean-up
will be a complete one and will ne
cessitate going over each district at
least twice, as in many of the homes
residents Have filled all receptacles
in yards and have ashes piled in the
cellars also.
The removal of all waste and
refuse from the streets where it had
been dumped by unscrupulous pri
vate collectors will be started by
Commissioner Lynch's forces by Fri
day. In some of the outlying dis
tricts teams to-day began hauling
away ashes i nthe smaller alleys, but
