Stocks suffered a substantial reaction in

explanation. was inclined to attribute the
decline in prices to a raid. In banking

matters for themselves 1t was pointed out
that in the Presidents message to Congress
an emphatic statement was made on the
policy OF governmental supervision Of rail-
roads.
Increased supervision" these men quoted
from the message. is the alternative to an
increase in present evils on the one hand,
or a still more radical policy ON the other.
The government must supervise and regu-
late the workings OF the railroads engaged
in interstate commerce to an increasing de-
gree"
Conclusions were drawn that a readfust
ment OF the rate situation was to follow
proposed legislation, together with an en-
tire modification OF long-haul and short
haul tariffs.
Just before the close the news was sent
broadcast over the ticker that the positive
statement had been made In Washington
that Congress would not adopt the Presi-
dents recommendation to allow the inter-
state commerce commission to regulate
rates. As soon as this statement appeared
there was an ail-round rally in prices.
