BRITTON (By Special Leased Wire.) ! Washington, July 27. The railroads today got down from the high horse they hare been riding about doing jus 'ties to freight rates for North Carolina aad put themselves in position to be beard by the representatives of traffic associations, chambers of commerce, the North Carolina Corporation Commission nd representatives of Southern ship ! generally. , ' These representative had Bade 1 elear-cltit statement of the rates of fered by the railroads following the order of the Interstate Commerce ( 6m mission to end discrimination that ex istcd In favor of the Virginia cities Last-night the conference held between the shippers' representatives , and the railroads representatives ended in block, th carriers having offered rates that were declared outrageous and un just, with an increase of freight rates into the South in placo of any decrease, while the representatives .of the ship peri stood pat upon their stand that no such rates would be accepted, and that if need be there will be another appea to the Interstate Commerce Commission to have it issue drastic orders to bring the railroads to terms. The Stiuation Chaagea 1 Today the situation changed as if by magic and tonight the representatives of the shippers say .that they can ob tain the reductions south and that dis criminations will be ended. These South em lines let it be known that it had not been possible for them to readjust and rearrange freight rate schedules so as "to'mee"t the order of the commission and needed more time. Upon the agree inept of the railroads to take steps to reduce rates to meet the orders of the 'commission, the representatives ef thi shippers grunted the roads IK) days rrom the 13th of September in which to get their rates lata shape, this promise based udou the agreement ef the rail roads to fully eomply with the order of the Interstate Commerce Commis Von in the Virainla-Carolina rate ease. The rates to be made are to meet the views of the North Carolina shippers. the further undcrstainding of the ran Toads being that the shippers will have Tonrnapntntivrs confer with them and assist in the work of rate making.

' Once again the two nominations came up in the Senate in executive session this afternoon. Once again there was objection to their consideration. Once again they went over to another day. Today it was Senator Curtis, of Kansas Republican whip, who arose to his feet and announced that a Kcpubllc'an Sen ator desired to discuss the nominations but was unavoidably absent, and asked that there be nothing none. Ana so there was nothing done. It is the understanding that both Senator Hiram Johnson and Senator William K. Borah intend to speak and oppose the nominations when they do get a start. Seator Johnson holds that the two nominations should be acted on at the same time, that they are linkel together. And there a report that he will have some cogent reasons to offer why Link Johnson, the Georgia negro should not be confirmed.

Matters Considered Sttld Although oflicttrls withheld "COfittlCnV it was recalled here in connection with the Japanese reference to "such matters that may be regarded accnmnliihrri facts,"' that tho Japanese ambassador at London recently indicated that his government would not care to discuss questions like Shantung and Vsp be cause it regarded them as having been settled by th treaty of Versailles. In ether quarters, however, it has been pointed out that the Versailles treaty is not recognized by China so far as fihsn- tung is concerned, mid that the United States has not consented to the treaty'a terms relating to Yap and other man date territories, so that in each case an open question is raised which would seem to make further negotiations nee essarv. it dlso is emphasized that because of the unusual situation in tho Far East where various powers have a direct Con- tern in Clfinese integrity and hart large m.-irerini interesis Slid concessions, It may be difficult to agree that any par ticular quwtieo affects only a limited number of nations. All of this, how ever, is expected to be threshed out in the exchange of views which is to pre- roue tue meeting or tne conference.
