"Will congress pass pooling blllE
mot as separate measure, but per-
hasps we might get one through in con-
nection with other amendments to the
interstate commerce law, If it were
moderate and the interests of the public
were well protected. But the railways
viii never get authority to pool until
they concede the right of the govern
ment through the inter state commerce
commission or some other agency to
supervise and criticise and prevent un-
just determinations.
Are you in favor Of a pooling biliT'
with certain restrictions, yes. In my
original report to the senate when the
interstate commerce law was passed
/ said that there were powerful argu-
NETS on both sides which ought to be
carefully considered, but ] recommended
that the matter be deferred until we
could see how the new law was going to
work and learn wisdom by experience.
Now, ] am convinced that experience
has demonstrated the wisdom Of law
that win permit competing railways to
pool their interests, provided we can
find a man smart enough to frame Ian
guage that will protect the interests Of
the people and stand the tests of the
courts 1t does not seem possible nova
days to write law, that the corporation
lawyers cannot drive a team of horses

gress and express our ideas as carefully
and precisely as the English language
will permit, few months later we wake
I'D and learn from the morning paper
that the Supreme court has decided that
we did not say anything that we intend
ed to say, and that the meaning Of the
act is entirely different from that which
congress had in mind. But / am not
in favor of any pooling law that relieves
the railroads from the control Of the

LAW Is FULL OF HOLES
WHERE RAILROADS CRAWL OUT.
Senator CuIIom Says Traffic Should be Re-
gulated, and Looks for Radical Action
if Railroads Resist Reason
able Terms.
(snecial to The Chicago Record)

(Snecial to The Chicago Recoru'b
Washington, d. c., Dee 1.-Senator
Cullom was saying to day, in connection
with the story about his appointment to
seccced Col. Morrison on the interstate
commerce commission, that the place
would have no attraction for him unless
file law were amended so as to endow
the commission with. power to carry its
decree into effect.
"The commission is a useful agency"
he said, "but it ought to be a great deal
more useful. 1t does a great deal of
good by uncovering things and giving
the people knowledge concerning the
operations of the railways, but it ought
to be able to correct the abuse that it dis
covers and protect the public when 1t
finds that it is imposed upon or oppressed.
There is moral force behind the COM
mission that the railways are afraid
of, and anybody who assumes that its
recommendations are ignored makes
great mistake. The Supreme court has
punched so many holes in the law, how
ever, that the railways are able to crawl
out somewhere as often as the commits
sion catches them in any serious wrong
doing, but the fact that they are eX-
posed and that somebody is looking out
for the public interests in connection
with the transportation business is
wholesome restraint, even If the commits
sion is not empowered to compel the at
tendance of witnesses or enforce Its
orders.
Eyes, continued the senator, "we are
going to try to amend the Interstate
commerce law this winter. 1t needs a
great deal OF repairs, but we will not
try to do too much at one time. We
have two very difficult factions to con-
tend with Some of our folks in con-
gress want to give the railroads every
thing they ask for and others want to
cut their throats, so that it is impossible
to secure any thorough legislation. But
we shall try to patch some of the worst
holes that the courts have made IN the
bill, and if the railways are wise they
will assist us in making conservative,
iudicious amendments, instead of trying
to defeat everything we propose. If
they were wise they would realize that
the country demands the regulation Of
traffic, and that the sentiment in that
direction is growing stronger every day
until it will become political issue,
and the legislative bodies at Wash .ngton
and at the capitals of the states will be
filled with men who have radical views
on these subjects and will contiscate in
stead of regulate. They ought to know
enough to know that a good law will be
to their advantage and that public senti-
ment is easily satisfied if it is fairly
treated. But if they continue their OPP
position the first thing they know they
will get a bad law, which viii be to their
injury and to the injury of the public"
