But far more important is the power to reg.

Resolved, First-Direct commerce. being

Second-It is recommended that the States
represented at this conference should conclude
conventions among themselves providing for

Thfrd-1t Is recompended that In all cases
where one more Of the States represented
at this conference shall establish, through
State initiative, a line or lines of steamers to
more of the States, that such vessels
shall enjoy all the privileges ports of call

Fourth-That in future no rebating railway
