Senate probe of public utilities to be expedited
The Walsh resolution to investigate the public utility industry moves forward with brief hearings set for January 16, and the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee will report by January 20. The probe aims to cover all phases of the industry, with emphasis on those aspects deemed necessary by Senator Walsh. The shift follows President Coolidge’s rebuke of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, prompting business to adopt a more cooperative stance toward Senate investigations.
