 Mir. Ingalls,. described the new Hep burn bill. said 1t was the shippers who tempted the railroad. He thought the laws recently passed by Congress and numerous state legislatures ought to be entitled laws in restraint of the commerce of the country"
 MT. IngalIs predicted that within two years the halls of Congress would be filled with shippers demanding a change in the recently nacted stat utes.
