Bill 20 Remedy
Defect in Hepburn
Commission Law
Bailey Would Prohibit Railroads
Hauling Goods for Companies in
Which They Own Stock.

WASHINGTON. May 6.-C1ose upon the
decision of the supreme court of the United
States in the commodities clause case
Senator Bailey today introduced a bill
amending the interstate commerce act so
as to apply the provisions Of the. com
modities clause to "any corporation or
joint stock company which owns or con-
trolls directly or Indirectly" such subsi-
diary corporations. 1-
In presenting the, bill Mr.. Bailey said he
had not read the opinion of the court in
hits case, but he had read enough to see
that II sustained the principles upon
which the commodity clause was based"
and the decision showed that the act did
not cover all those cases that he knew the
author intended 1t to cover.
THE court held that the act did not in
clude cases in which railroads own stock
of a corporation which produces or manu-
factures the articles to be transported" :"
said Mr.. Bailey, land the amendment 1
now propose is intended to remedy that
reject II defect II was. Those who were
responsible for that amendment to the
Hepburn act felt that the words directly
or indirectly" covered every possible con-
tingency, but in view of the decision of the
court 1t seems necessary to change that
language"
Mr. Culberson saying he had the COM
modties clause decision and that ne in
tended asking to have 1t printed as a
document, Mr.. Bailey withdrew his bill, so
that before introducing it he might read
the full opinion.
Representative Wanger of Pennsylvania
today presented bill in the house, making
IT illegal for a railroad company TO trans
port a commodity for any corporation in
which 1t holds stock or Of which It is a
creditor

America to wait and see whether or not
Japan succeeds in preventing the immi-
grafton to this country of any sppreciable
number OF Japanese of the laboring and

Mr.. Roosevelt adds that those we'll
