Railroad Bills Lose In Senate Clash Over Sidings And Powers
The Senate adjourned a heated session with two railroad bills killed after debates over whether the state railroad commission should have power to order sidings and interchanges. Senators Perry and Mathews urged expanded powers to curb discrimination by railroads, while opponents warned of heavy burdens and local burdens on towns. The House bill increasing penalties on railroads for late freight receipts also died after opposition. The session also advanced an agriculture and civics teaching bill for public schools.
