CUMM|NS FINALLY
FINISHES SPEECH
Iowa Senator Holds Floor Four
Days Opposing Taft's Rail
road Bill.
FINDS MUCH TO CRITICISE
In ADMINISTRATION PLAN
Is Certain That Loose Language
of Measure viii Permit of
Great Abuses.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-After hold
ing the floor for four days, Senator Cum
minis today completed his speech opposing
the administration railroad bill.
The Iowa senator's discussion today
dealt principally with the provision regu-
at'ng the consolidation of railroads. With
this he found much fault.
Pointing out that the regulation extends
TO railroads alone, he declared that, in
.he omission of water lines, there was
possibility of great abuse. and said It
would he impossible to prevent the trans
continental railroads from acquiring the
water lines through the Panama canal.
mus cutting out all competition.
re also pointed out that electric lines
were specifically excluded from the pro-
vision and declared Il would be possible
ior an electric line TO gain control OF all
The railroads in the country.
Holds Language Too Loose.
Mr. Cummins criticised the words, "di-
rectly competitive" as defining the lines
that may not consolidate. He said such
and II was doubtful whether many lines
would be found within the elastic prohi-
bition, Mr., Cummins engaged In 4 col
loquy with Senator Elliins, during which
petlng lines from consolidating"
That Is what we all want" responded
MIR. Elkins, 81 am glad TO see that the
senator from Iowa is bringing himself
Into substantial accord with his commit
tee"
You mean that the committee Is being
driven gradually TO accept my position"
rctorted Mr. Cummins.
Mr., Aldrich interpreted this statement
as an ultmatum and remarked that 1t
seemed 10 he one OF several ultmatums
which Senator Cummius had undertaken
TO lay down.
Mr. Cummins disavowed any such pur-
pose
Senator Nelson suggested the striking
out OF the entire provision on railroad
mergers, leaving the antitrust law in
control of such cases.
Would Stop Prosecution.
IF we adopt this section II VIII be
folly to carry on the prosecution OF the
Union Pacific merger. he said.
Mr. Cummlns took up the provision
placing the approval or disapproval OF
consolidation agreements at the discre-
ton OF the proposed court OF commerce.
and declared IL TO be extraordinary and
unconstitutional. because it delegated leg
ls!auve authority to the court. Senator
Eorah inquired who was the author OF the
provision.
Search me-" calculated Senator Clapp.
Mr.. Cummins suggested the attorney
general might be the author and intl-
be FOR the original suggestion.
1T is plain" interjected Senator Nell
son, that tile bill Is an orphan
Senator Elkins thought its paternity
quite unimportant.
1T Is here" he said. land the question
is whether 1t is right and whether we
ought to vote for 1t. regardless of its
origin"
Senator Borah said he did not believe
the president, as Il lawyer. would uphold
the constitutionality of the consolidation
provision.
Senator Cummins pleaded for an impair
tial consideration of the question, saying
that it was one of the most important
measures with which legislation could
deal
