WASHINGTON, February q. = At

Orton continued his argument against

of his remarks, Orton said, competing
lines were now in operation In a ma

was not interferred with By Congress,
it was probable that within a short
time. a year or two at furthest, COM

promoted the interests of the share

ready to invest capital IN such an en-

complain. and the government no oc-
