Says Government Control of Rates

Philadelphia. Feb. BY reason OF the wide
discussion on the subject of Interstate commerce
legislation and OF the advanced views which
the Pennsylvania Railroad management were
believed to entertain upon this question. a rep

company. today. for the purpose of ascertain

Company had for some years. recognized the
reasonableness of legislation providing for the

involved upon any body composed Of men with

the public with that of governmental regulation
of rates The former subject was already dealt
with by the federal statute known as the FL
kins act, passed in 1903. he said in as effective
a way as possible by. any Legislative enactment
unless, perhaps. in the case of private car lines
where further legislation might possibly be
needed TO bring them under the provisions OF
the EIkins act and that this would De met by
the overstreet bill. which is now it's passage
through Congress.
MT Cassatt did not care TO discuss the details
or Dill, but was clear in his conviction that
any legislation which would deny the right ac-

private citizen to appeal 10 the existing courts

OF which that of the general business OF the
country so largely depends. would not only be
