Taft's Railway Bill Amended by Senate Panel
Senator Elkins proposes amendments to the administration railway bill. Changes include restricting a proposed commerce court to the circuit court, allowing counsel for shipowners before the court, delaying effects by 60 days, and permitting appeals to the Supreme Court from commerce court orders within 20 days. The Interstate Commerce Commission would be barred from creating through water routes. Elkins says the amendments are not committeeman measures and will be considered later.
