The House debate on the railroad
control bill was devoted chiefly to
corrective amendments in line with
the purposes of the bill. Several of
these by Mr.. Lenroot were adopted.
They are important as operative
features only. The only important
change in the methods of the bill in
committee of the whole was made
by the adoption of Mr.. Sweets
amendment, under which the con-
troll of rates would remain as now
under the Interstate Commerce
Commission without interference
with operation and control by the
President. This was demanded by
shippers and was not thought to be
Objectionable to the railroads. But
when the committee of the whole
reported the bill for passage the
Sweet amendment and others sup
posed to be Objectionable to the Ad-
ministration were voted down. The
days struggle over the bill in the
House ended in Administration VIC
