Senator Cummins Continues His
Criticism of Administrations
Proposed Legislation
Declares Bill Would Allow the
TranscOntinental Lines to
Control Canal Traffic

WASHINGTON. March 1S.-After
tor A. B. Cummins of Iowa today COM
pleted his speech opposing the admin
istration railroad bill
The senator's discussion today dealt
principally with the provision regu-
lating the consolidation of railroads.
With this he found much fault.
Pointing out that the regulation ex-
tends 10 railroads alone. ne declared
that in the omission of water lines
there was possibility of great abuse.
and said that it would be impossible TO
prevent the transcontinental railroads
from acquiring the water lines through
the Panama canal, thus cutting out all
competition.
He also pointed out that electric
lines were specifically excluded from
the provision and declared that it
would be possible for an electric line
to gain control of all the railroads in
the country.
QUESTION OF COMPETITION
Cummins criticised the words
directly competitive" as defining the
lines that may not consolidate. He said
that such language would afford a

whether many lines would be found
within the elastic prohibition.
Cummins engaged In a colloquy with
Elkins, during which he declared:

ed Elkins
Nelson suggested the striking out OF
the entire provision on railroad mer-
gers. leaving the antitrust law in con-
troll of such cases.
IF we adopt this section it will be
folly to carry on the prosecution OF
the Union Pacific merger" he said
SENATOR CALLS BILL AN ORPHAN
Cummins took up the provision plac-
ing the approval or disapproval OF
consolidation agreements al the discre-
tion of the proposed court of commerce
and declared it to be extraordinary and
unconstitutional because IL delegated
legislative authority 10 the court.
Borah inquired who was the author
of the provision.

Cummins suggested the attorney gen.
eral as the real author, and intimated
he believed the president responsible

tor General Bowers.
closed the attack on the tax just before
court adjourned.
One OF the biggest side fights in con-
nection with the great contest was laid
bare when Bowers insisted that the

uring the tax included all the property
of a corporation.
William D. Guthrie and his associ-
ates, Victor Morawets and Howard Van
Sinderan, counsel for the Home life
