He read a paper to defend the court
against the slur that it had received from
certain quarters to the effect that the
court had favored the railroads. He gave

missioner Neill with Judge Knapp. and
said they had been great bulwarks of

He said, in reply to q question, that a
district judge could spend year in a

low all appeals from the interstate COM
merce commission to be made direct to
the United States Supreme Court.
Representative Adamson of New Jersey
asked il ME-. Driscoll would advocate a
separate kind of court for every line of
business. Representative Driscoll treated
ii as joke.
