The document is quite voluminous,
covering thirty printed pages. The first
section amends the Interstate Com
merce Act so as to render it lawful for
railroad associations to enter into pools
under the following conditions:
Every contract, agreement or ar
rangement shall be in writing and filed
with a Commission created by this Act
and shall become lawful and forcibe
between the parties thereto at the ex-
piration of twenty days from the filing
thereof, unless the Commission shall,
in the meantime, and upon such inves-
tigation and consideration as it may
deem proper. to make an order disap-
proving of the same. and it shall be the
duty of the Commission to make such
order of disapproyal whenever upon
such investigation and consideration it
shall be of the opinion that the opera
ton of any such contract by reason of
it's provisions. or Cor want Of necessary
restrictions and lir1itations would re-

mission to observe the workings Of
such contracts or agreements as affect
the transportation business of rhe coun-
try, and to investigate all complaints
relating to rates or facilities afforded
by pooling associations, and whenever
the Commission, after due notice shall
find that any such rates, facilities or
the practice are excessive or unreason-
able. or any unjust discrimination be-
tween individuals localities or articles
of traffic, or are otherwise in contra
vention of any of the provisions of this
Act the Commission shall issue an
order requiring such rates, charges,
etc, maintained by or under such con-
tract to be changed, modified or cor
rected
The authority of the Commission goes
to the extent of allowing it to disap-
prove of the contract itself, and requir-
ing it to be terminated at any time to
be mentioned, which time it is provided
shall not be less than thirty davs
The effect of this order. it is speciff-
cally stated, would render the contract
unlawful and non-enforcible but it is
provided that the orders and findings OF
the Commission in such cases shall be
subject to review by the United States
Circuit Court upon petition.
The bill further provides that in such
cases the courts shall act speedily in
determining questions of this character,
and that it shall make such order or
decree as may be just and equitable in
determining whether the contract shall
be enforcible, Notwithstanding the dis
approval by the Commission.
A further appeal is allowed by any of
the parties to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
