Senate narrow Panama Canal bill limits railroad ship ownership
The Senate passed a Panama Canal measure prohibiting railroads from using the canal with ships they own. Amendments bar illegal industrial combinations from sailing through and require disposal of lines that might compete with independent carriers. The bill allows free tolls for American coastwise vessels and conditions free passage for foreign trade ships, subject to sale terms in war or emergency.
