REPORT ON RAILWAY BILL.
Three Sets of Views on Measure Re-
introduced in House.

The so-called administration railroad
bill, which was introduced BY Repre-
sentative Townsend. Of Michigan. on
January 10. was reported to the House
yesterday by the Committee on Interstate
and FC-eign Commerce.
1t still contains the provision for the
creation OF a court OF commerce, but has
been amended. The original measure as
drafted by Attorney General Wickersham
and approved by the President, is pend
ing in the Senate.
So many changes were made IN the
text OF the original bill that IN order 10
avoid confusion the committee reported
the bin back to the House with the
recommendation that it be amended by
striking out all after the enacting clause
and inserting as a substitute the text OF
the bin as agreed 10 by the committee.
The minority report denounces the
legislation as unnecessary and likely 10
disturb business, condemns the proposed
transfer Of authority from the Interstate
Commerce Commission 10 the Department
OF Justice, denies the right Of the gov
eminent TO make rates, and declares
N--N-~ N--f - tAsp1~A ANE AAuAiON OF STOCK
issues viii tend to restrict investment. -
The alleged interference OF the President
and Attorney General in the preparation
of the legislation is criticised.
Representatives Sims, Of Tennessee, and
Russell. Of Texas, two Democratic mem
bers OF the committee, present still an
other set Of views in a separate minority
report.

themselves yesterday about the statement

it is now run" said Representative Taw-
ney feelingly. Mr.. Tawney is chairman
Of the Appropriations Committee and

diction:
