IS no opposition. but that the bill is in
danger of being lost 10 view through
lethargy, and he counsels members TO
write 10 their Senators urging that the
bill be brought forward 10 hearing
As TO the CullOm bill, providing amend
ments TO the interstate commerce law and
giving the commission greater power, the
circular recites the objects of the bill and
specifies clearly both the argument for
and the objections 10 its passage without
positively urging the members to take
either side. Mr.. Search. however. does not
recommend that the bill should be allowed
10 die with the committee. and he requests
members OF the association 10 write 20
their Senators and Representa- tfves with
reference 10 the BILL each giving his indi-
vidual views and his arguments for and
against its passage, so that action NAV te
had.
