The hope Is to obtain this without open fight with the republican orga: ization, Mr. Nelson declared, but he emphasized that the group will not hesitate to fight if that becomes nec- essary. Especially selected members of the group are studying the several im- portant questions of legislation, and until they are ready with their rec- ommendations the forms of bills be introduced affecting thess ques- tions will not be determined.

Mr. Nelson, who has been given close, attention to the railroad problem, states, however, that in his own opinion there should be four major changes in the transportation act as follows: Elimination of the so-called guar- antee provision.
