Washington, Sept. 19. The ntest
over securing just freight rate for
North Carolina continued today. In tha
conference being held here betnean th
members of the'North Carolina eoTpor

bo rs of Coninj.crce of North Carolina,
secretaries nf the traffic aasotiatiftns,
the wholesale grocers and other par

as upon these rates the North Cgrqljia
rates win be based. J
Outlook Look Better
While the results today in rt-ma;
ing were not all to the liking of the
. . y. i . ..til It
North Carolina representative, still H
is agreed among them that soma prog
ress has been made and that th fate
now submitted by tha railretgf r
somewhat lower than the rate e(tired
at the last conference here. ?h S(
ures that have been reached ara not
satisfactory but they are nerf th
North Carolina withea in ecurin Jn
tice. Combined rail and water 'rate
have been offered 6mewbt lower tht
the rail rate nhich wer prr.potet at
the Inst hearing. There,! a difference
existing a to the figures on class rstei
but the railroad representative say
that this will ia a measure be adjusted
by using commodity rate In a number
of eases. As the figure thus far sub
mitted are tentative there have none of
these been given out definitely,
That progress ha been made in the
direction of reduced rate it the view
of Attorney Fishback, who say alto
that the railroads in giving tne figure
which they offer say that the are man
mam rate and that any changes that
re made will be in th direction of low
er rate. The outlook as he regard it
is for something lik a fair scale of
rates.
He say that before nny definite con
elusion call be reached that it will be
necessary to get the rate established
between the eastern cities and Vir
ginia, and that after he conference in
New York it will b possible to give
an estimate of tha value that win ae
erue to North Carolina ia the adjust
ment of rates that are being made.

Senator Penrose ail that so far a
the husinass of the Senate would per
mit, it was the purpnae to take tho bill
un immediately and press for final
action. He added that some feature,
particularlv the profits tax repeal and
tha proposed rednction from "certnin

a aeneral desiro to expedite passage.
"VnAer these aireumstanees,' h eon-
tinwd, ''there is reasonable expectation
that the bill ean be passed in the Sen

ought not .to require more than a week
in conference, if that long a time.
is entirely safe, therefore, for me to
predict that the tml will tie ent to tn

London, Sept. 19. (By tho Associated

rabiuet today, sent another telegram to
Premier Llovd George, in which, declar
ing that the Pinn Fein had not thought
at anv time of asking for the acceptance
of anv conditions precedent to a confer
nee, ho requests the fremirr to say
whether ti is letter of-'BeptcmVier 7 was
intended to le a demand for surrender
or an invitation to a conference "free
on both sides nnd without ' prejudice
should an agreement not be reached.'
In the latter case, Mr. Do Valt-ra states
tltat he would confirm tho Sinn rein ac
ceptanco of li invitation and tho Irish
delegates Would meet the reprpaentativcr
of the government.
Mr. l)e Viilera also suggests the con

fhat this would "end tho dispute forever
and enable the two nations to settle
down in pence."
The nature of the message from Mr
Do Valera necessitates a further ei
chtinge of telegrams, unless some sort o
an ultimatum is forthcoming. The text
of Mr. Do Valera' telegram follows
Sir: . i --- -v - j
Wa have nhd no fhonght at any Sm
oi haking you to accept any conditions
rjrecedent to a eoaference. Wo would
hava thought it ia as unreasonable to ex
pect you, a a preliminary to recognite
the Irish republlo formally or inform
ally, as that yon should expect us form-i
ally or informally to surrender our na
tional position. )t is precisely because
neither aide accepts the position of the
other that there is a dUpute at all and
that a conference, is . neceasury to search
for and discuss such adjustments as
might compose it.
"A treaty of accommodaton and as
sociation, prpcrly concluded between
die people of tueso two islands and be
tween Ireland and the group oftates
la the British commonwealjh would,
we believe, end the dispute forever and
enable the two nations to settlo don
in peace, each pursuing its own indi
vidual development and contributing
its own quota to civiluation but work
ing together In free an 1 friendly eo
operation in affairs of agreed common
concern.
"To negotiate such a treaty tne re
spective rcprcriitativei i.f two natinits
must nic-t, but it von vk to impns.-
preliminary conditions whi'-h ne nwi'-i
regard as involving the surrender of
on r whole positinn, thsy cannot meet.
"Your last telegrnm mnkes' it clear
that misunderstandings are more likely
to aerease than to diminish an I the
enuse of peace is more likely be re
tarded than advanced by the cnn'icu
nace of the present correspondence.
"We re)iiet you, therefore, to state
whether your letter uf September 7 is
intended to be a d- man 1 for surrender
on our part or an invitation to a eon
ferenco free on both si 'es nnd without
prejudice snyui'l an agreement ii ue
Crwlied.
"If the latter, we readily confirm
our acceptance i.r iiiB lnviLaunn tai
