AGREEMENT REACHED
ACTION OF REPUBLICANS OF
HOUSE COMMERCE COMMITTEE.

The republican members of the House
committee on interstate and foreign COM
merce reached a tentative agreement late
this afternoon upon bill to regulate rail-.
way rates. 1t Is expected that the bill will
be reported to the full committee by to-
morrow. when the democrats will be in
vited into the meeting to give their views.
1t is hoped that the republicans will be
able to have a unanimous agreement upon
the bill. so that they can successfully resist
all amendments proposed by the democrats
which seem objectionable to the majority.
The republican members of the commit
tee were in secret session the greater part
of the day.
Two bills were under consideration the
measure proposed by the chairman of the
committee Mr.. Hepburn. and the bill
known as the Townsend Esch measure.
Strong opposition to the Hepburn bill de-
yeoped mainly on account of the alleged
danger of the provisions to produce tedious
litigation in order to accomplish the inten-
tion of the shippers,
At today's meeting Mr.. Hepburn did not
hold out obstinately for his own bill. and he
himself made the motion to report the
Townsend-EsCh bill.
The difference between the two measures
is material only in one or two provisions,
and it was said this afternoon that when
the bill finally is completed it will show
very little difference from the Hepburn bill
The tentative agreement provides for the
enlargement of the interstate commerce
commission, the establishment of court
Of transportation to which appeals may be
made, and giving the interstate commerce
commission authority. which shall go into
effect within thirty days.
II was said by senators this afternoon
who are opposed to hasty legislation at this
session that the Townsend Esch bill, as
they understood its provisions at this time
would be as Objectionable to them as the
Hepburn measure.
II IS said that the democrats of the
House committee will probably bring in
minority report unless there is breaking
down of party lines in the committee and
opportunity for democratic amendments TO
be accepted.

Interstate Commerce Involved.


Interstate Commerce Involved.
With reference to the allegation that no
Interstate commerce is involved in the sale
of meats by the packers the opinion says:
"The allegations of the second section, even
Il they import technical passing of title
at the Strengthening places also import that
the sales are to persons in other states.
and that the shipments to other states are
part of the neutrality-suspicious. to such
saIes-and the third section imports that
the same things which are sent to agents
are sold by them, and sufficiently indicates
that some al least. of the sales. are OF the
original packages. Moreover. the sales are
by persons in one state to persons IN
another
But we do not mean to imply that the
rule which marks the point at which
state taxation or regulation becomes per-
missible necessarily is beyond the scope
of Interference by Congress in cases
where such interference Is deemed neces
sary for the protection of commerce
among the states. Nor do We mean to
intimate that the statute under consider
alton is limited to that point"
After referring in detail to the various
objections to the original bill of COM
plant and disposing of all of them as
insufficient, Justice Holmes said: THE
defendants cannot be ordered to COM
pete. but they properly can be forbidden
TO give directions or to make agreements
not to compete"
Notifications of the injunction were sug-
gested follows: The general words of
the injunction or by any other method or
device. the purpose and effect of which is
to restrain commerce as aforesaid. should
be striker out. The defendants ought to be
Informed as accurately as the case permits
what they are forbidden to do. Specific
devices are mentioned in the bill, and they
stand prohibited. The words quoted are
sweeping injunction to obey the law, and
are open to the objection which we stated
at the beginning that 1t was our duty to
avoid. To the same end of definition as far
as attainable, the words 'as charged in the
bill should be inserted between dealers in
such meats and the effect of which sales,
and two lines lower as to charges for cart
