man law. so far as it applied to rail-
roads, and repeal of the pooling
section of the act creating the inter-
state commerce commission The
railroads must be allowed to COM
binr, he told the commission, and he
predicted that the increasing troubles
of the roads would force permission
for such consolidation.
Kate Increase Not the Cure
One of two things must be done
to meet the situation: either the gov
ernment must acquire ownership or
some action taken to restore Gov.
