Debate Over Interstate Commerce and Railway Pooling
A speaker argues Supreme Court validation of the 1893 act, then questions Congress on enforcible law and a measure nullifying the Interstate Commerce Act. He asks Iowa Seventh District electors whether they back legalized pooling over competition as coal prices rise from 7 to 7.50 per ton to 8.50 and 9.50. The audience cheers as the case for or against allowed combinations is framed.
