REPLIES CUMMINS.
DIR. ELKINS QUIZZED.
Defends administration Inter
state Commerce Bill.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington. March Ex-senator Elkins'
chairman OF the Committee on Interstate
Commerce. addressed the Senate for more
than two hours this afternoon I'm defence OF
tho administration bin for the establish
ment OF a court OF commerce and other
wise strengthening the interstate commerce
law. Mr. Elklns's speech was largely
reply 90 the criticisms OF the bill made last
week by Senator Cummins.
The West Virginia Senator requested that
he be- permitted TO proceed without inter-
TuptiOn. but before he was well into his
subject Senator'S Cummins. Bailey, Clay and
others assisted on Qulzzing him. Toward
the close Of his remarks there were sew
ersl good na;ured coIlOquies. and much OF
the political criticism Of the measure was
disarmed by AIr. Elkins's unfail'ng good
humOr. Senator Clapp viii speak against
the bil tomorrow.
Mr.. Elkins made Il clear that the friends
% tho bill have no purpose 20 insist that It
be put through under whip and spur with
out amendment. Amendments had not been
considered az length in the committee, he
said, because Il was apparent that df-
ferences were 50 marked that time would
be lost. Accordingly. the bill had been re-
ported as II came from the Attorney Gen
erai, with the understanding that a full
opportunity 10 amend 70 would be given on
the floor. He declared that the principal
features OF the bill were approved by the
Interstate Commerce Commission and by
the great associations Of shippers. He de-
MED that Mr.. Cumnl'ns had accurately in
teTpreted Section Z, relating to traffic agree
ments and insisted that this section would
not permit railroads TO enter into agree
ments now forbidden by the Sherman act
When Section IL. relating to mergers. was
under discussion Senators Bailey and Bacon
interTogated Mr.. Elklns at some length
They insisted that this section was intended
to make IL possible for some Of the great
railroad systems 10 acquire a controlling in
terest IN competing Tines.
Mr.. Elkins denied this He said the
limitations OF the section are essential 10
avoid disturbance Of conditions which have
existed, and do exist. to prevent injustice
10 minority stockholders In such roads.
Senator Bailey said that he regarded It as
improper. IL not unlawful. for a railroad 70
hold stock IN any other road. and intimated
that he would offer an amendment covering
this point
Mr.. Elkias took the bill up section by
section and explained and defended each OF
its provisions. lie declared that while II
was far from being a perfect measure. IL
was a long step in advance IN the govern
mental control OF interstate carriers and
conformed 10 the platform pledges OF the
Republican party.
New-York tribune., 1910-03-22
Says Railroads Oppose Il.

According To common report. six or
seven presidents Of the most important
railroads IN the country waited on the
President ~ the White House." said Mr.
Elkins. 'and endeavored TO induce him to
consent 10 certain changes IN the bill. but
he refused 10 do so. So far as know and
can hear. the railroads oppose the bill"
In the course of cOllOqUy Mr.. Cummins
said that the Attorney General had made a
change In the through rate provision Of his
draft Of the bill at his CMr. Cumminss)
suggestion. and" he added. 1T Is a wise
provision"
Il admit H." responded Mr.. Elkins.
Yes" said Air. Cummins, III you would
take all OF my suggestions you'd be better
on"
"If we should take all of your sugges-
tions." retOrted Mr.. Elkins. II dom. know
what would become OF the country; we GER
tainly wouldn't run the railroads"
Senator Bacon. Of Georgia. charged the
West Virginia Senator with having neglect
ed TO give attention 10 the provision OF the
bill authorizing one railroad company 10
acquire the line Of another COMPANY in
which it may own so per cent Of the stock.
lie said that the law would have the effect
Of nuIlifying the antitrust law as con-
sEuta by the supreme Court and 10 legal
ize all existing Ownerships Of one road bv
d competing line. This. he asserted, was
the real purpose OF the measure. and he
added his conviction that the railroads
would be willing to surrender much in or
der 20 get this concession.
Mr.. Elkins would not concede the sound
ness Of Mr.. Bacon's argument He did nOt
believe that the law contemplated the sane
tion OF any proceeding that might be illegal
under existing Law.
Either this bill does what the Senator
from Georgia charges" (" said Mr.. Bailey. cor

said. that there was nothing I'm the bill ex
