this subject and thereupon Crawford
turned to Aldrich, who is a member
of the committee on interstate COM
merce, and questioned him as to his
Interpretation of the meaning of the
provision.
"The whole truth" interrupted
Bailey before Aldrich could reply, lis
that the intention of the provision
for the repeal OF the antitrust law
is to reverse the supreme court Of
the United States. The effect and
purpose is to take the railroads from
under the supreme court"
AIdrich Starts Debate.
Aldrich refuted the intimation of
the Texan and from his colloquy
rose a general discussion as to wheth
er it had been the original intention
to include the railroads in the origi-
nal sherman antitrust bill. Aldrich
said that no senator who had voted
for the Sherman law had the slight
est idea that the railroads were en-
braced fifth its terms.
but all the same you are now
trying to take them out of it," reit-
Grated Bailey.
THAT is not true" said Aldrich-
"The senator from Texas is mistaken
as to the purpose of the proposed law
as is the senator from Iowa"
Cummins would not admit that he
could be mistaken, for he declared
the purpose OF the law was written
broadly on its face. There could be
no doubt that it repealed the law re-
garding traffic agreements. he said.
Elkins Refutes Contention.
Elkins undertook to refute this con
tentlon by reading the provision re-
garding agreements, and in so doing
broadly asserted that everyone must
know the railroads violate the law
every day. This assertion was chal-
lenged by several senators, but the
West Virginia senator held TO his po-
sition, and asked, NOW why embar-
rass the railroads?"
"True, true" responded Cummins
under his breath.
Elkins contended that even though
agreements were authorized by the
pending bill, the commission still
would have control of the rates, and
even more comprehensive. control
than under the present law.
ut is not the agreement that Is
powerful" said he, ''but the rates
themselves, and so long as the COM
mission controls the rates 1t Is in
command Of the situation. "
AIdrich referred to the supposed
alliance between the "insurgent" Re
publicans and Democrats, and then
after a brief protest from Cummins
over his method OF presenting the
matter. Aldrich declared his opinion
was that no schedule of roads, wheth
er under agreement or not, could go
into effect without the APPROVAL Of
the commission.
would Make II Right.
'If that is not clear in the bill, /
am willing to have 1t made SO" said
Aldrich.
Responding TO this statement, Cum
Minis declared the only way to rem
edy the defect was to withdraw the
repeating provision. To this sugges-
ton Aldrich responded that he had
