Fight Against Railroads Wins Canal Amendments
The Senate approved amendments to the Panama canal bill limiting railroad owned vessels and coastwise ships with antitrust tied to ownership. The vote on prohibiting railroad controlled ships was 49 to 18 and on coastwise vessel bans 35 to 28. Additional provisions set tolls and wartime use terms, with railroads potentially required to divest ships if ownership harms canal operations.
