To- Evans, fourth vice president and general manager of the Louisville & Nashville, will arrive here from Nashville and pians have been made to call him into conference with General Manager Scott of the Georg! railroad Wwho is also a director of the terminal com- pany. The determination to run the mail trains has reduced the probiem of settlement to two issues. First, in what manner the negro shall ! however, whom he married here on May | be allowed to work and second, the inter- ference with interstate commerce and its possible result in federal intervention. Thie was the eleventh day of the strike on the Georgia rallway and the fifth day of no train service. A town-to-town can- vass by automobiles in this isolated dis- trict today showed that the various eom- munities affected were now better prepared for a long continued tieup than at any other time since the strike began. With two exceptions every town on the Georgia railroad between Augusta and Atlanta is completely deprived of frelght, passenger and mail service by mail. As this situation has become acute the people have organ ized wagon trains to carry supplies from the nearest point of railway connection, which is never more than fifty miles dis- | tant and usually considerably less. These | wagon trains are carrying such quantities | i | of food as to prevent the possibility of suffering and their efficiency has increased with practice. The most serious inconvenience today is | from lack of mall service. Only in a few of the towns are mails being delivered and this without any regularity. | The race question today stood squarely | blocking the progress of negotiations for arbitration. General Manager Scott brought | this proposition to the front, it is sald, by | declaring that before he would consent to | arbitration there should be some sentiment that the negro firemen who have worked for the road for years and who have held | the respect of their officers and fellow | firemen, both black and white, would not be forced to leave the railroad.

WASHINGTON, May 21.—By the decisive | vote of 5 to 33 the senate decided today to postpone until June 10 the further consid- eration of the Income tax question In con- nection with the tariff. Consideration of the sugar schedule was continued, but after two amendments to it were voted on the senate switched off to a discussion of the possihility of getting a vote on the Bailey income tax amendment Mr. Bailey presented his argument for a vote in his usual foreible manner, but did not succeed in prevailing on Senator Al drich to concede a vote in advance of the tariff schedule. Mr. Aldrich declared that he would not agree to a vote on the in- come tax in advance of the schedules as long as he was in charge of the bill The two amendments to the sugar sched- ule on which votes were taken were those eliminating the Dutch standard test from the tariff schedule and lowering the duty on refined sugar from 1.9 cents per pound to 18214 cents per pound. Both wera de- feated, the former by a vote of 3 to 47 und the latter by a vote of & to 53. On the first vote eleven republicans voted with the democrats for the amendment, but on the second only five republicans broke ranks. Sugar Interests Divide. It was considered somewhat significant that the two Louisiana senators, Foster and McEnery, the only senators represent- ing @ cane sugar producing wate, should have been the only democrats to vote with the republicans on the standard providing {and this was made the more significant be- cause of the fact that toddV for the first time the possibility of a sharp conflict ve- tween the cane sugar and beet sugar in- terests war indlcated. Mr. Cummins made somewhat lengthy and Interesting speech. The cane sugar men did not, however, make response to this. In the main the arugment advocated the striking out of the duties standard test and the pro- { vision in the sugar schedulueu for a Aif- ferential on refined sugar. This action he thought would restrain. the profits of the| sugar (rust and thus csuse that in- stitution to lose its domination I the sugar trade, while on the other hand the beet sugar makers would be benefited Declaring he did not take issue with the who had volced the sentiments of their constituents in favor | of protection for their sugar interests, Senator made a plea for liberality toward those who did From legal opinion to show that revenue duties contained incidental element of p tection and he justified senators in wish- ing to see such incidental protection made a benefit to all sections of the country | At the conclusion of Mr. Owens' remarks called for on tha amendment Mr. PBristow eliminate the Dutch tandard in the testing of sugar, but the author of the amenndment again took the floor and replied to & numher of senators who had defended the Dutch standard. After a few remarks by him the roll was ordered the amendment and it was defeated. Senators Beveridge, Brown, Bristow, Crawford, Cummins, Dolliver, Clapp. Jones, La Follette and Nelson, re- publican, voted with the democrats in the affirmative. Senator Burketl noted no. There was great confusion during the call of the roll A second amendment by Mr. Bristow, changing the differential rate | of duty on sugar, was then reported. | The amendment was defeated by & voie 32 to 5, the present rate of 1.9 on re- of 32 tined sugar being retained. this the text of a Louisiana senators Owen among not agree with them he partisans undertook an vote was to on in | me Tax Caowm Stir, Mr. Balley immediately seized upoh this | opportunity to offer his income tax amend- | ment and it was read, much to the amuse- Hailey and learned that intended to demand that a vote be - that & time be fixed for | the taking of & vote Mr. Aldrich moved that consideration of | the Bailey amendment be postponed until | June 10.
