Reading railroad strike debate ends in five member committee
In Wasmogdon on February 1 the House debated how to investigate the Reading railroad strike. A compromise formed a five member special committee to handle the probe, shifting from the interstate commerce commission to a congressional panel. Rayner of Maryland highlighted the urgency of action, while Dr. Davis of Massachusetts defended committee investigations as ineffective. The measure passed as a five member inquiry, with Coléx to name the committee and the Interstate Commerce Commission relieved of the task.
