Senate Tirade by Lafollette Over Cummins Rail Bill Ends?
Washington Dec 11 Senator Lafollette Republican Wisconsin led a two day Senate assault on the Cummins railroad bill arguing it favors private operation and is a national stain. He asserted no clause benefits the people and claimed the bill would legitimize railroad graft while denying a fair test. He warned courts would protect railroad interests and allow fair value returns to security holders. He contended wartime controls left the measure rotten and urged consideration of government ownership. Senate recessed with Lafollette still speaking and no timetable for passage. Lovett of Union Pacific praised some aims but condemned key labor provisions in the Esch and Cummins bills, warning against excessive returns and confiscation of property.
