McReynolds Critics Rise Over Commerce Court Fight
Washington June 27 A demand for the production of correspondence among Representative Sims Attorney General McReynolds and Walker D. Hines regarding the Sims bill to abolish the United States Court of Commerce was followed by Sims laying the letters before the House for scrutiny. The letters show Hines was brought into consultation at McReynolds suggestion. Sims testified he did not know Hines’s position but submitted the bill to Hines for his thoughts. McReynolds had earlier suggested eight changes and sent letters praising Hines and urging his suggestions. Hines wrote May 21 1913 that the Sims bill should include express provisions for suits under district courts and for temporary restraining orders to be heard by a single judge, a change Sims later sought to reflect in draft.
