Panama Canal Bill Passes Senate With Free Toll Provisions

It grants the ICC power to force railroads to divest steamship ownership if detrimental to public interest and closes the canal to railroad owned ships. London merchants fear preferred American ships will steer trade, while British firms anticipate shifts as foreign-built vessels may register as American.
