Mr.. Pittman pointed out the iniqui-
ties Of the long and short haul clause
in the law that had been on the statute
books for years and showed why 1t was
ineffective because 1t was left to the de-
termination of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to say whether the condi-
tions in cases were similar or not. And

Commission, the railroads had the new
bill passed which merely sidesteps the
issue aud will permit the railroads to

the new Commerce Court as under the
: old law.

Referring to the wealth produced in
the country, Mr.. Pittman stated thai

80 per cent of it and the purchasers Of
80 per cent of the goods sold. II,
