Phillips refiles. Judge Phillips signals probe into Missouri rate cases
In Kansas City on May 4 Judge Phillips declined interviews but said he would telegraph Speaker Cannon to urge a Congressional committee to probe the Murphy resolution. He defended his conduct on Missouri rate cases as largely perfunctory and noted a supplementary restraining order against railroads as his key action, done to aid Judge McPherson who will preside next week. He asserted a 21 year Federal bench career and called for full investigation of his record, hinting charges aim to force resignation. He recalled Civil War service and vowed not to run.
