Measure
CALL IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Extends Powers of Interstate
Commission in Material
Respects.

New York, Oct. 2S.-The express
companies of the entire country will
unite in an attack through the courts
on the Mann-Elkins law which was
passed by Congress last June at the
urgent solicitation of President Taft.
The act provides for an Interstate
Commerce Commission to which rail
roads and shippers alike may appeal.
The attack was decided upon at con-
ference of railroad lawyers from all
parts of the United States which has
been in session here several days. 1t
is supposed that the attack will be
made on the grounds that the act is
unconstitutional. The particular OBJ
lection is to the extension of the
powers of the interstate Commerce
Commission.
