ton, lie said that Etby the operation
of competitive forces, that matters of
difference between the corporations,
the carrier, and the people they serve,

"Thc concensus of opinion OF the
people, however, is that Congress has
the powerr, by amendment to the law,
to provide better remedies for real
abuses existing, so that the producer
and consumer can find a more speedy
and less expensive remedy than we
now have. In this opinion, [, for one,
concur. The bun den is upon Congress,

marily responsible.
