differences have developed among the
Democratic members OF the house com
rnittee on Interstate and foreign COM

By President Wilson for the enactment
of law giving the government super :
vision over the issuance OF railway

The controversy has reached such
a stage that the house leaders be-
lieve that the president Ehouid be
asked to intervene. Chairman Adam
son has prepared bill bearing on
capitalization that provides merely for
publicity of stock and bond issues. sold
by railroad. 1t does not give the In
terstate commerce commission plenRry
powers in dealing with such issues.
Opposed to Chairman Adamson Is
Sir. sims. OF Tennessee, who has offered
bill that before a railroad offers
a bond or stock issue it shall secure
permission OF the interstate commerce
commission.

bill to show the reasons for the Sc
curity issue and TO set forth the pur-
poses for which the proceeds are to
be used.
