FOR CANAL CONTROL
IMMEDIATE LEGISLATION PlANN.
Ed FOR THE SAME.
RULES BEFORE THE OPENING
With This and Tolls Definitely Fixed
Canal Would Have Trade From
the Start.

Washington.-Imme formula
ton of Panama canal legislation prac
tically was decided upon at a con.
ference at the White house partici
pated in by President Taft, Secretary
of State Knox, Secretary of War Dick.
inSon, Senator Flint of California
chairman of the senate committee on
degee of Connecticut. also q member
of that committee and Representative
Mann of Illinois, chairman of the
house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce. The conference
lasted until near midnight.
1t was agreed that immediate action
on canal questions was necessary in
order that the commercial world might
be able to plan ahead. 1t was sug-
gested that by having a definite un-
Outstanding as to the tolls and the
trade questions involved an active
trade would be assured for the canal
almost from the day of its opening.
Finding concurrence in his opinion
that expeditions legislation is neces-
sary. President Taft is said to have
concerned himself principally with the
trade aspect of the canal rather than
with Notifications. If the latter sub
ject entered into the discussion at
all. it is believed to have been sub
ordinated to the matter of tolls, the
maintenance of dry dock and repair
shop facilities and stations for the
sale of coal, oil and other ship sup
plies.
The opinion at the conference, II
was said. favored legislation en-
towering the president to fix tolls
within certain limits, taking into con-
sideration distance. tonnage and
cargo.
The question of whether the govern
ment should operate coal yards and
dry docks and whether it should pass
its war vessels through the canal free.
and its cOastwise ships and possibly
all OF its merchant vessels at lower
rate than those of foreign countries
was discussed at length by the con-
ferees and tentative plans were
launched for the preparation Of legis-
lation on these points.
It was argued by some that the
United States might not be possessed
of the legal right to discriminate in
favor of its own vessels.
Suggestions for safeguarding COM
petition between the eastern and
western seaboards through possible
amendments of the interstate COM
merce laws, making it prohibitOry for
railroads 10 own or control ships in
the canal trade also were advanced,
but no conclusions were reached.
