Congressional Proceedings on railroad control by Canadian Pacific
In Rouste, Wastimaron on July 25 Mr Cullom offered a preamble and resolution noting that the Minneapolis St Paul Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic railways have come under Canadian Pacific Railway control. The resolution argues this monopoly dominates access to the St Marys River bridge on the US Canada boundary and could nullify inter state commerce protections. It directs inquiry by the interstate commerce committee into needed legislation to shield US commerce from foreign control. Mr Morgan moved to lay the resolution over.
