That the question Of the authority
Of the Federal courts in dealing with
Interstate corporations IL going to be-
come one OF the most serious phases
Of the corporation regulation problem
which Ia now before Congress is be-
coming more and more apparent.
Indications are pointing strongly TO
the fact that whom Congress finally leg
islates with. respect 10 the control of
corporations it will create another great
commission, comparable to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. This s,lg-
gestion runs through much Of the testi-
mony being brought out before the
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee.
Moreover, the idea has been much dis
cussed in Congress. The Newla-lds bill
provides for such commission.
II such a commission. or any branch
OF the Government, is given the work of
administering the law as to corpora
tions, then the question which will be-
come acute is the very one which has
terstate commerce laws; that Is. how
the the findinSs ns n Of the iS commission, and un.
der what circumstances the rulings Of
the commission can be set aside. :.
