The long debated railroad bill clears the United States Senate by fifty to twelve. Forty four Republicans and six Democrats support final passage, while twelve Democrats including Indiana's senator Shively vote against it, reflecting broad merit and political caution.
The passage presents two damning scenarios for Indiana Democrats. Either Kern accuses Shively and eight state lawmakers of deliberate slander or Shively is accused of ethical compromise. Kern withholds names of eight legislators who allegedly sold votes and may run again, exposing corruption concerns for the electorate.
As the railroad bill nears final passage, 25 roads move to serve notice of increases to avoid new federal oversight. The government seeks injunctions to curb raises while more lines announce higher rates, amid a brewing clash with courts. Shippers manufacturers and farmers urge the President to block rises until the law takes effect and the Railroad Commission can protect shippers.
Four railroad presidents acting as a committee met with President Taft and agreed not to raise freight rates until the pending bill granting the railroad commission authority becomes law. Taft withdrew the injunction suit, sparing shippers from higher rates and costly litigation.
