Defends Administrations Rail-
way Bill Against Insurgents.
CALLS MEASURE EFFECTIVE
Says It Will Let Sunlight of Pub
licity In on Traffic Agree
ments.
trrom The Tribune Rureau.l

Washington April 25.-In a forceful and
logical speech late this afternoon Senator
Root replied 10 the critics of the admins
tration who have been using the interstate
commerce bill as a vehicle for veiled at
tacks on the President and the Attorney
General
For more than a week the so-called in
surgent Senators have directed ther am
munition against Section OF the bill' re-
lating TO traffic agreements. The pending
amendment is that offered by senator
Crawford and provides that before trafhc
agreements shall become effective they
shall be approved by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
This amendment. which has been ac-
cepted by the friends OF the bill, Is not
satisfactory to Senators Cummins. Doillver'
Clapp. Bristow, La Toilette and others who
are supporting the Cummins amendment
requiring the Interstate Commerce COM
mission to pass on every rate and classih-
cation in a traffic agreement before the
same shall go into effect.
Senator Dolliver, who enjoys the reputa-
tion Of being one OF the most entertaining
takers in the Senate, spoke at length to-
day in opposition to the Crawford amend
ment His droll comment and fervid ora
tory enabled him to hold an audience on
the floor and in the galleries which he
amused and pleased.
Occasionally Mr.. Deliver touched the
high places in Section 7, but for the most
part his speech had a political trend lie
and the other insurgents are still smart
ing under the words of criticism contained
in Attorney General Wickersham's Chi
cago speech, in which he discussed the
duty of Republicans to their party. Ac-
cordIngly, Mr.. Dolliver devoted considera-
BILE time to the Interstate Commerce bill
as II came from the hands of the Attorney
General
He deprecated the growing tendency Of
the executive branch of the government TO
dictate to the legislative branch what laws
should be enacted and how they should
be framed. He said that the provision re-
lating 10 traffic agreements was a long
step backward in government control OF

common carriers. 1t legallzed conspiracies
against trade and placed shippers and trav-
ellers at the mercy OF the railroads
Mr.. DoIiver denied the contention OF the
friends of this section that IL seeks 10 carry
out the platform promise Of the RepuDh-
can party. nor was it. In his opinion. con
formable TO the recommendations and other
public utterances Of ex-Presldent hoose-
velt and President Taft.
Referring to the Attorney GeneraIs drait
OF the section relating 10 trainc agree
ments. Mr.. Dolliver said:
Apparently the author of this provision
did not know what the Republican plat
form contained. The hand that drew II
was not as faithful 10 the platform as the
voice at Chicago that was ordering certain
good people to depart from the Republican
party"
In replying. Senator Root confined him
SELF TO the proposed amendment to Sec
tion Z, and pointed out that il did none
Of the things charged, by It's critics. he
said that Senators who had attacked the
Crawford amendment had been led into
extravagant statements and had created an
erroneous impression regarding the erect
Of this amendment.
With a slight change. which he would
suggest Mr. Root said that the amendment
to Section Z would prove a great blessing
to the trade and commerce of the United
States. The general proposition laid down
in Section 7-nameIy. authorizing interstate
carriers under proper governmental safe
guards to enter into traffic agreements-had
been recommended by two Presidents. by
the dominant political party's platform and
by the officers of the government charged
with the enforcement Of the law relating
to common carriers.
The sole purpose of the trainers OF this
section was to make a practical and eff
fective statute, not one that would merely
sound well in political platforms. but one
that could be enforced by those charged
with its administration. one of its great
est benefits was that it would enforce the
publicity Of traffic agreements. Instead of
secret arrangements between carriers. the
pending bill would bring these arrange
mentS into the sunlight. And the sun
light always removes the germs Mr.. Root
added with smile.
Mr.. Root declared the Cummns substir
tute for the Crawford amendment would
prove impossible Of enforcement He said
that the provision requiring the commits
sion TO approve agreements gave the pub
lie every possible and practical safeguard
against eXtOrtiOnate charges. The commits
sion Is not going to approve an agreement
in the dark, he said III il is too vague
and indefinite. the commission has plenary
for a more definite and complete agree
ment.

PUSHING POSTAL BANK BILL
President Reassured Regarding
Insurgents Loyalty.
[From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. April 25.-President Taft
gave further evidence Of his determination
TO secure the passage Of a genuine postal
savings bank bill to-day. when ne sum-
moned three insurgents TO the White House
in order tina, he might reassure himself as
10 their position on the legislation ne de-
sires The insurgents sent for were Repre-
sentatives Fish. OF New York; Hayes, OF
California. and Kendall. Of Iowa These
men were asked to define their position in
regard TO the bill now before the House
Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads.
They assured the President that not only
they but every insurgent. with the excep-
ton OF Representative Fowler, Of New Jer-
sey, favored the legislation. and they de-
ciared that they were willing 10 adopt any
measures 40 bring the bill before the
House. They told the President that there
was some feeling among the insurgents
that a party caucus was not the best way
TO insure a genuine postal savings bank
bill, such as he had recommended, but
they promised that IL the House leaders
deemed II wise 10 call a caucus for that
purpose they would respond 20 the call
The blame for the delay which has impeded
the progress Of the bill was laid at the
0Opr OF SuCn ftOuSt leducIS dS ENNhTrst-llAs-
tive Weeks, Of Massachusetts. and Fassett.
of New York. both members OF the Post
Office Committee. and neither OF whom
really favors the bill
Representative Kendall said that the best
way TO secure full and free discussion Of
the measure was 20 move to discharge the
Post Office Committee from further con-
sideration Of the bill. so that II could be
brought up on the floor and amended TO
suit majority Of the House. The three
insurgents told the President that they did
not believe a majority Of the Republicans
were sincerely favorable to postal savings
banks. and that a caucus might agree upon
a measure which would not meet with the
Presidents requirements.
II was finally decided that the matter
should be left 70 the House leaders. who IN
the mean time will be constantly reminded
both by the President and by members OF
the House that the time for action is at
hand. The President is bent on having the
measure brought before the House shortly

DEMOCRATS IN A HOLE.-That the

by the determination Of Senator Lodge to
abandon his resolution providing further
funds with which 10 ascertain the rates Of
wages in various Industries, and the rela-
ton 20 present prices because OF the per
sistent fliBustering Of the Democrats is
the conviction Of the Republican leaders.
The fact is that the Democrats have been
sorelv discouraged by the Investigation thus
far. The Democratic members of the com
nittee have had every opportunity 70 ask
questions and 10 bring out everything Ia
vorable 10 their contention that the high
cost Of living is due 70 the tariff and they
have made no progress. There is reason to
believe. moreover. that they fear the show
ing which would be made bringing the
statistics Of wages down 10 date. and that
It is for that reason they have hlibustered
on the Lodge resolution. Mr.. Lodge an
nounced in the Senate to-day that in view
Of their attitude he was unwilling further
to delay the consideration Of the interstate
commerce bill, and that he should refrain
from further pressing his request FOR the
funds necessary 70 complete the investiga-
tion When Mr.. Lodge made this announce
rnent Senator Stone took immediate alarm
and sought 10 defend the position OF the
minority. protesting. n the face Of abun-
/ dant evidence 10 the contrary. that the
