IT was decided TO day that all action
on the bill introduced by Rep. Sims
tDem. Tenn for the abolition Of
the Commerce Court will be delayed
until after the holiday recess of Con-
gress.
II have assurances Of support
which practically insure the passage
Of my bill in substantially the form
in which it was introduced" said
Sims today. while | will be unable
to bring it before the House before
the fffst of the year am certain that
it will meet with the approval of the
Democratic leaders and majority
of the members Of both parties on the
floor.
THE bill has been referred to the
committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce, OF which | am a member.
The committee will do no further
work until ii returns from its trip to
the Panama Canal Zone, which begins
next Sunday. Immediately upon our
return however l will press the bill
in the committee, and am assured of
an early favorable report"
Sims declared that he haG discov-
cred general sentiment in the House
in favor of his measure. Speaker
Champ Clark will use his influence TO
forward the bill, as he fought the
creation Of the court on the floor OF
the House where it escaped defeat by
just six votes.
The Sims bill is practically the
same as the bill introduced in the
Senate by Senator PoindeXter, and if
the former passes the House it will
undoubtedly have the support Of the
Progressives who favor the Poin-
dexter measure.
