Commission and Some Leading
Democrats Favor Plan, But
Opposition Is Strong.

A strong effort is being made In in
terstate commerce and Administration
circles to get the Interstate Commerce
Commission enlarged by legislation this
season. II this should be done, II would
give the Administration important APP
pointments before the election.
Chief Counsel Joseph w. Folk, of the
commission. has been busy at the
Capitol lately working for the Lewis
bill to enlarge the commission from
seven to nine. and have It divided into
three groups. each group to have
charge OF q section Of the country.
The decisions OF a group Of three COM
missioners would be final except as ap-
peals would lie to the courts. ...
Mr.. Folk has been trying to get the
Democratic steering committee to take
up the proposition. but II has so far not
done 80. Marked opposition has devel-
opcd among some of the progressive
Republicans and some Of the Demo-
Gratis. Senator Newlands, chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Committee, IA
opposed 70 enlarging the commission
now. He wants to walt until after the
proposed general transportation inves-
tigation. Some OF the progressive
Republicans fear that II the commission
Is enlarged now II will not be filled with
the sort Of men they want and the rail-
roads will be given control OF It.
